This bug is caused by the fact that usbnet trusts the bulk endpoint
addresses its probe routine receives in the driver_info structure, and
it does not check to see that these endpoints actually exist and have
the expected type and directions.
The fix is simply to add such a check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Do not bother merging very long extents
When merging very long extents we try to push as much length as possible
to the first extent. However this is unnecessarily complicated and not
really worth the trouble. Furthermore there was a bug in the logic
resulting in corrupting extents in the file as syzbot reproducer shows.
So just don't bother with the merging of extents that are too long
together.

The bug occurs when the dbAllocDmapLev()function attempts to access
dp->tree.stree[leafidx + LEAFIND] while the leafidx value is negative.
To rectify this, the patch introduces a safeguard within the
dbAllocDmapLev() function. A check has been added to verify if leafidx is
negative. If it is, the function immediately returns an I/O error, preventing
any further execution that could potentially cause harm.
Tested via syzbot.

Following process will trigger an infinite loop in ubi_wl_put_peb():
ubifs_bgt ubi_bgt
ubifs_leb_unmap
ubi_leb_unmap
ubi_eba_unmap_leb
ubi_wl_put_peb wear_leveling_worker

out_error:
ubi->move_from = ubi->move_to = NULL
wl_entry_destroy(ubi, e1)
ubi->lookuptbl[e->pnum] = NULL
retry:

$ top
PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM COMMAND
7676 root 20 0 0 0 0 R 100.0 0.0 ubifs_bgt0_0
Fix it by:
1) Letting ubi_wl_put_peb() returns directly if wearl leveling entry has
been removed from 'ubi->lookuptbl'.
2) Using 'ubi->wl_lock' protecting wl entry deletion to preventing an
use-after-free problem for wl entry in ubi_wl_put_peb().

The problem is that the ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error in the
loop which in the alloc_wbufs(), then the wbuf->buf and wbuf->inodes
that were successfully alloced before are not freed.
Fix it by adding error hanging path in alloc_wbufs() which frees
the memory alloced before when ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
FS: JFS: Fix null-ptr-deref Read in txBegin
Syzkaller reported an issue where txBegin may be called
on a superblock in a read-only mounted filesystem which leads
to NULL pointer deref. This could be solved by checking if
the filesystem is read-only before calling txBegin, and returning
with appropiate error code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: remove a BUG_ON in ext4_mb_release_group_pa()
If a malicious fuzzer overwrites the ext4 superblock while it is
mounted such that the s_first_data_block is set to a very large
number, the calculation of the block group can underflow, and trigger
a BUG_ON check. Change this to be an ext4_warning so that we don't
crash the kernel.
