In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: stop tp_meter sessions during mesh teardown
TP meter sessions remain linked on bat_priv->tp_list after the netlink
request has already finished. When the mesh interface is removed,
batadv_mesh_free() currently tears down the mesh without first draining
these sessions.
A running sender thread or a late incoming tp_meter packet can then keep
processing against a mesh instance which is already shutting down.
Synchronize tp_meter with the mesh lifetime by stopping all active
sessions from batadv_mesh_free() and waiting for sender threads to exit
before teardown continues.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: validate dacloffset before building DACL pointers
parse_sec_desc(), build_sec_desc(), and the chown path in
id_mode_to_cifs_acl() all add the server-supplied dacloffset to pntsd
before proving a DACL header fits inside the returned security
descriptor.
On 32-bit builds a malicious server can return dacloffset near
U32_MAX, wrap the derived DACL pointer below end_of_acl, and then slip
past the later pointer-based bounds checks. build_sec_desc() and
id_mode_to_cifs_acl() can then dereference DACL fields from the wrapped
pointer in the chmod/chown rewrite paths.
Validate dacloffset numerically before building any DACL pointer and
reuse the same helper at the three DACL entry points.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracepoint: balance regfunc() on func_add() failure in tracepoint_add_func()
When a tracepoint goes through the 0 -> 1 transition, tracepoint_add_func()
invokes the subsystem's ext->regfunc() before attempting to install the
new probe via func_add(). If func_add() then fails (for example, when
allocate_probes() cannot allocate a new probe array under memory pressure
and returns -ENOMEM), the function returns the error without calling the
matching ext->unregfunc(), leaving the side effects of regfunc() behind
with no installed probe to justify them.
For syscall tracepoints this is particularly unpleasant: syscall_regfunc()
bumps sys_tracepoint_refcount and sets SYSCALL_TRACEPOINT on every task.
After a leaked failure, the refcount is stuck at a non-zero value with no
consumer, and every task continues paying the syscall trace entry/exit
overhead until reboot. Other subsystems providing regfunc()/unregfunc()
pairs exhibit similarly scoped persistent state.
Mirror the existing 1 -> 0 cleanup and call ext->unregfunc() in the
func_add() error path, gated on the same condition used there so the
unwind is symmetric with the registration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: spi-nor: debugfs: fix out-of-bounds read in spi_nor_params_show()
Sashiko noticed an out-of-bounds read [1].
In spi_nor_params_show(), the snor_f_names array is passed to
spi_nor_print_flags() using sizeof(snor_f_names).
Since snor_f_names is an array of pointers, sizeof() returns the total
number of bytes occupied by the pointers
(element_count * sizeof(void *))
rather than the element count itself. On 64-bit systems, this makes the
passed length 8x larger than intended.
Inside spi_nor_print_flags(), the 'names_len' argument is used to
bounds-check the 'names' array access. An out-of-bounds read occurs
if a flag bit is set that exceeds the array's actual element count
but is within the inflated byte-size count.
Correct this by using ARRAY_SIZE() to pass the actual number of
string pointers in the array.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: Avoid OOB font access if console rotation fails
Clear the font buffer if the reallocation during console rotation fails
in fbcon_rotate_font(). The putcs implementations for the rotated buffer
will return early in this case. See [1] for an example.
Currently, fbcon_rotate_font() keeps the old buffer, which is too small
for the rotated font. Printing to the rotated console with a high-enough
character code will overflow the font buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: ah: account for ESN high bits in async callbacks
AH allocates its temporary auth/ICV layout differently when ESN is enabled:
the async ahash setup appends a 4-byte seqhi slot before the ICV or
auth_data area, but the async completion callbacks still reconstruct the
temporary layout as if seqhi were absent.
With an async AH implementation selected, that makes AH copy or compare
the wrong bytes on both the IPv4 and IPv6 paths. In UML repro on IPv4 AH
with ESN and forced async hmac(sha1), ping fails with 100% packet loss,
and the callback logs show the pre-fix drift:
ah4 output_done: esn=1 err=0 icv_off=20 expected_off=24
ah4 input_done: esn=1 auth_off=20 expected_auth_off=24 icv_off=32 expected_icv_off=36
Reconstruct the callback-side layout the same way the setup path built it
by skipping the ESN seqhi slot before locating the saved auth_data or ICV.
Per RFC 4302, the ESN high-order 32 bits participate in the AH ICV
computation, so the async callbacks must account for the seqhi slot.
Post-fix, the same IPv4 AH+ESN+forced-async-hmac(sha1) UML repro shows
the corrected offset (ah4 output_done: esn=1 err=0 icv_off=24
expected_off=24) and ping succeeds; net/ipv4/ah4.o and net/ipv6/ah6.o
build clean at W=1. IPv6 AH+ESN was not exercised at runtime, and the
change has not been tested against a real async hardware AH engine.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix fsck inconsistency caused by FGGC of node block
During FGGC node block migration, fsck may incorrectly treat the
migrated node block as fsync-written data.
The reproduction scenario:
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# seq 1 2048 | xargs -n 1 ./test_sync // write inline inode and sync
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# rm -f 1
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# sync
root@vm:/mnt/f2fs# f2fs_io gc_range // move data block in sync mode and not write CP
SPO, "fsck --dry-run" find inode has already checkpointed but still
with DENT_BIT_SHIFT set
The root cause is that GC does not clear the dentry mark and fsync mark
during node block migration, leading fsck to misinterpret them as
user-issued fsync writes.
In BGGC mode, node block migration is handled by f2fs_sync_node_pages(),
which guarantees the dentry and fsync marks are cleared before writing.
This patch move the set/clear of the fsync|dentry marks into
__write_node_folio to make the logic clearer, and ensures the
fsync|dentry mark is cleared in FGGC.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential use-after-free issue when stopping watchdog task
Watchdog task might end between send_sig() and kthread_stop() calls, what
results in the use-after-free issue. Fix this by increasing watchdog task
reference count before calling send_sig() and dropping it by switching to
kthread_stop_put().
