In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ibmvfc: Remove BUG_ON in the case of an empty event pool
In practice the driver should never send more commands than are allocated
to a queue's event pool. In the unlikely event that this happens, the code
asserts a BUG_ON, and in the case that the kernel is not configured to
crash on panic returns a junk event pointer from the empty event list
causing things to spiral from there. This BUG_ON is a historical artifact
of the ibmvfc driver first being upstreamed, and it is well known now that
the use of BUG_ON is bad practice except in the most unrecoverable
scenario. There is nothing about this scenario that prevents the driver
from recovering and carrying on.
Remove the BUG_ON in question from ibmvfc_get_event() and return a NULL
pointer in the case of an empty event pool. Update all call sites to
ibmvfc_get_event() to check for a NULL pointer and perfrom the appropriate
failure or recovery action.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask for PADATA_RESET
We found a hungtask bug in test_aead_vec_cfg as follows:
INFO: task cryptomgr_test:391009 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

Kernel panic - not syncing: hung_task: blocked tasks
For padata_do_parallel, when the return err is 0 or -EBUSY, it will call
wait_for_completion(&wait->completion) in test_aead_vec_cfg. In normal
case, aead_request_complete() will be called in pcrypt_aead_serial and the
return err is 0 for padata_do_parallel. But, when pinst->flags is
PADATA_RESET, the return err is -EBUSY for padata_do_parallel, and it
won't call aead_request_complete(). Therefore, test_aead_vec_cfg will
hung at wait_for_completion(&wait->completion), which will cause
hungtask.
The problem comes as following:
(padata_do_parallel) |
rcu_read_lock_bh(); |
err = -EINVAL; | (padata_replace)
| pinst->flags |= PADATA_RESET;
err = -EBUSY |
if (pinst->flags & PADATA_RESET) |
rcu_read_unlock_bh() |
return err
In order to resolve the problem, we replace the return err -EBUSY with
-EAGAIN, which means parallel_data is changing, and the caller should call
it again.
v3:
remove retry and just change the return err.
v2:
introduce padata_try_do_parallel() in pcrypt_aead_encrypt and
pcrypt_aead_decrypt to solve the hungtask.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/vkms: fix a possible null pointer dereference
In amdgpu_vkms_conn_get_modes(), the return value of drm_cvt_mode()
is assigned to mode, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference
on failure of drm_cvt_mode(). Add a check to avoid null pointer
dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in dbFindLeaf
Currently while searching for dmtree_t for sufficient free blocks there
is an array out of bounds while getting element in tp->dm_stree. To add
the required check for out of bound we first need to determine the type
of dmtree. Thus added an extra parameter to dbFindLeaf so that the type
of tree can be determined and the required check can be applied.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries
RPC client pipefs dentries cleanup is in separated rpc_remove_pipedir()
workqueue,which takes care about pipefs superblock locking.
In some special scenarios, when kernel frees the pipefs sb of the
current client and immediately alloctes a new pipefs sb,
rpc_remove_pipedir function would misjudge the existence of pipefs
sb which is not the one it used to hold. As a result,
the rpc_remove_pipedir would clean the released freed pipefs dentries.
To fix this issue, rpc_remove_pipedir should check whether the
current pipefs sb is consistent with the original pipefs sb.

Both db_maxag and db_agpref are used as the index of the
db_agfree array, but there is currently no validity check for
db_maxag and db_agpref, which can lead to errors.
The following is related bug reported by Syzbot:
