Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: fix dma_fence refcount leak on error in virtio_gpu_dma_fence_wait()
dma_fence_unwrap_for_each() internally calls dma_fence_unwrap_first()
which does cursor->chain = dma_fence_get(head), taking an extra
reference. On normal loop completion, dma_fence_unwrap_next()
releases this via dma_fence_chain_walk() -> dma_fence_put().
When virtio_gpu_do_fence_wait() fails and the function returns early
from inside the loop, the cursor->chain reference is never released.
This is the only caller in the entire kernel that does an early return
inside dma_fence_unwrap_for_each.
Add dma_fence_put(itr.chain) before the early return.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/net: inherit IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE across bundle recv retries
When a bundle recv retries inside io_recv_finish(), the merge logic OR
the saved cflags from the previous iteration with the cflags returned by
the new iteration:
cflags = req->cqe.flags | (cflags & CQE_F_MASK);
Bits listed in CQE_F_MASK are inherited from the new iteration, and all
other bits (notably IORING_CQE_F_BUFFER and the buffer ID) come from the
saved cflags. Before this change CQE_F_MASK covered only
IORING_CQE_F_SOCK_NONEMPTY and IORING_CQE_F_MORE.
When using provided buffer rings (IOU_PBUF_RING_INC) with incremental
mode, and bundle recv, io_kbuf_inc_commit() can leave the head ring
entry partially consumed, __io_put_kbufs() then sets
IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE on the returned cflags so userspace knows the
buffer ID will be reused for subsequent completions.
Because IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE was not in CQE_F_MASK, the merge above
silently dropped it whenever the final retry iteration partially
consumed the buffer, and the subsequent req->cqe.flags = cflags &
~CQE_F_MASK save would have left a stale IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE in the
carried-over cflags had one been present. Userspace would then
wrongfully advance it ring head past an entry the kernel still uses.
Add IORING_CQE_F_BUF_MORE to CQE_F_MASK so it is both inherited from the
new iteration into the user-visible CQE and stripped from the saved
cflags between iterations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: Fix UAF at snd_timer_user_params()
At releasing a timer object, e.g. when a userspace timer
(CONFIG_SND_UTIMER) gets closed and snd_timer_free() is called, it
tries to detach the timer instances and release the resources.
However, it's still possible that other in-flight tasks are holding
the timer instance where the to-be-deleted timer object is associated,
and this may lead to racy accesses.
Fortunately, most of ioctls dealing with the timer instance list
already have the protection with register_mutex, and this also avoids
such races. But, SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_PARAMS isn't protected, hence the
concurrent ioctl may lead to use-after-free.
This patch just adds the guard with register_mutex to protect
snd_timer_user_params() for covering the code path as a quick
workaround. It's no hot-path but rather a rarely issued ioctl, so the
performance penalty doesn't matter.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: timer: Forcibly close timer instances at closing
When snd_timer object is freed via snd_timer_free() and still pending
snd_timer_instance objects are assigned to the timer object, it tries
to unlink all instances and just set NULL to each ti->timer, then
releases the resources immediately. The problem is, however, when
there are slave timer instances that are associated with a master
instance linked to this timer: namely, those slave instances still
point to the freed timer object although the master instance is
unlinked, which may lead to user-after-free. The bug can be easily
triggered particularly when a new userspace-driven timers
(CONFIG_SND_UTIMER) is involved, since it can create and delete the
timer object via a simple file open/close, while the other
applications may keep accessing to that timer.
This patch is an attempt to paper over the problem above: now instead
of just unlinking, call snd_timer_close[_locked]() forcibly for each
pending timer instance, so that all assigned slave timer instances are
properly detached, too. Since snd_timer_close() might be called later
by the driver that created that instance, the check of
SNDRV_TIMER_IFLG_DEAD is added at the beginning, too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: kl5kusb105: fix bulk-out buffer overflow
klsi_105_prepare_write_buffer() is called by the generic write path
with the bulk-out buffer and its size (bulk_out_size, 64 bytes). It
stores a two-byte length header at the start of the buffer and copies
the payload from the write fifo starting at buf + KLSI_HDR_LEN, but
passes the full buffer size as the number of bytes to copy:
count = kfifo_out_locked(&port->write_fifo, buf + KLSI_HDR_LEN,
size, &port->lock);
When the fifo holds at least size bytes, size bytes are copied starting
two bytes into the size-byte buffer, writing KLSI_HDR_LEN bytes past its
end. Copy at most size - KLSI_HDR_LEN bytes instead, leaving room for
the header as safe_serial already does.
Writing bulk_out_size or more bytes to the tty triggers a slab
out-of-bounds write, observed with KASAN by emulating the device with
dummy_hcd and raw-gadget:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kfifo_copy_out+0x83/0xc0
Write of size 64 at addr ffff888112c62202 by task python3
kfifo_copy_out
klsi_105_prepare_write_buffer [kl5kusb105]
usb_serial_generic_write_start [usbserial]
Allocated by task 139:
usb_serial_probe [usbserial]
The buggy address is located 2 bytes inside of allocated 64-byte region
The out-of-bounds write no longer occurs with this change applied.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in build_i2c_fw_hdr()
build_i2c_fw_hdr() allocates a fixed-size buffer of
(16*1024 - 512) + sizeof(struct ti_i2c_firmware_rec) bytes, then
copies le16_to_cpu(img_header->Length) bytes into it without
validating that Length fits within the available space after the
firmware record header.
img_header->Length is a __le16 from the firmware file and can be
up to 65535. check_fw_sanity() validates the total firmware size
but not img_header->Length specifically.
Fix by rejecting images where img_header->Length exceeds the
available destination space.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix NULL pointer dereference
PCIe errors detected by a Root Port or Downstream Port cause error
recovery services to run on all subordinate devices regardless of
administrative state.
The .error_detected() callback, bnxt_io_error_detected(), disables
and synchronizes IRQs via bnxt_disable_int_sync(), which calls
bnxt_cp_num_to_irq_num() to map completion rings to IRQs using
bp->bnapi.
Since bp->bnapi is allocated on NIC open and freed on NIC close, PCIe
error recovery on a closed NIC can dereference a NULL pointer.
Check if bp->bnapi is NULL before disabling and synchronizing IRQs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
timers/migration: Fix livelock in tmigr_handle_remote_up()
tmigr_handle_remote_cpu() skips timer_expire_remote() when cpu ==
smp_processor_id(), assuming the local softirq path already handled this
CPU's timers.
This assumption is wrong because jiffies can advance after the handling of
the CPU's global timers in run_timer_base(BASE_GLOBAL) and before
tmigr_handle_remote() evaluates the expiry times.
As a consequence a timer which expires after the CPU local timer wheel
advanced and becomes expired in the remote handling is ignored and the
callback is never invoked and removed from the timer wheel.
What's worse is that fetch_next_timer_interrupt_remote() keeps reporting it
as expired, and the event is re-queued with expires == now on each
iteration. The goto-again loop spins indefinitely.
Fix this by calling timer_expire_remote() unconditionally. That's minimal
overhead for the common case as __run_timer_base() returns immediately if
there is nothing to expire in the local wheel.
