In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/aio: Restrict kiocb_set_cancel_fn() to I/O submitted via libaio
If kiocb_set_cancel_fn() is called for I/O submitted via io_uring, the
following kernel warning appears:
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 368 at fs/aio.c:598 kiocb_set_cancel_fn+0x9c/0xa8

Fix this by setting the IOCB_AIO_RW flag for read and write I/O that is
submitted by libaio.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Fix sdma.h tx->num_descs off-by-one error
Unfortunately the commit `fd8958efe877` introduced another error
causing the `descs` array to overflow. This reults in further crashes
easily reproducible by `sendmsg` system call.

If an SDMA send consists of exactly 6 descriptors and requires dword
padding (in the 7th descriptor), the sdma_txreq descriptor array is not
properly expanded and the packet will overflow into the container
structure. This results in a panic when the send completion runs. The
exact panic varies depending on what elements of the container structure
get corrupted. The fix is to use the correct expression in
_pad_sdma_tx_descs() to test the need to expand the descriptor array.
With this patch the crashes are no longer reproducible and the machine is
stable.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: ti: edma: Add some null pointer checks to the edma_probe
devm_kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: sr: fix possible use-after-free and null-ptr-deref
The pernet operations structure for the subsystem must be registered
before registering the generic netlink family.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Increase buffer size in afs_update_volume_status()
The max length of volume->vid value is 20 characters.
So increase idbuf[] size up to 24 to avoid overflow.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
[DH: Actually, it's 20 + NUL, so increase it to 24 and use snprintf()]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Support specifying the srpt_service_guid parameter
Make loading ib_srpt with this parameter set work. The current behavior is
that setting that parameter while loading the ib_srpt kernel module
triggers the following kernel crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: roles: fix NULL pointer issue when put module's reference
In current design, usb role class driver will get usb_role_switch parent's
module reference after the user get usb_role_switch device and put the
reference after the user put the usb_role_switch device. However, the
parent device of usb_role_switch may be removed before the user put the
usb_role_switch. If so, then, NULL pointer issue will be met when the user
put the parent module's reference.
This will save the module pointer in structure of usb_role_switch. Then,
we don't need to find module by iterating long relations.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: ep93xx: Add terminator to gpiod_lookup_table
Without the terminator, if a con_id is passed to gpio_find() that
does not exist in the lookup table the function will not stop looping
correctly, and eventually cause an oops.
