Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix integer overflow in rxgk_verify_response()
In rxgk_verify_response(), there's a potential integer overflow due to
rounding up token_len before checking it, thereby allowing the length check to
be bypassed.
Fix this by checking the unrounded value against len too (len is limited as
the response must fit in a single UDP packet).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: fix oversized RESPONSE authenticator length check
rxgk_verify_response() decodes auth_len from the packet and is supposed
to verify that it fits in the remaining bytes. The existing check is
inverted, so oversized RESPONSE authenticators are accepted and passed
to rxgk_decrypt_skb(), which can later reach skb_to_sgvec() with an
impossible length and hit BUG_ON(len).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: fix RESPONSE authenticator parser OOB read
rxgk_verify_authenticator() copies auth_len bytes into a temporary
buffer and then passes p + auth_len as the parser limit to
rxgk_do_verify_authenticator(). Since p is a __be32 *, that inflates the
parser end pointer by a factor of four and lets malformed RESPONSE
authenticators read past the kmalloc() buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: tdfxfb: avoid divide-by-zero on FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO
Much like commit 19f953e74356 ("fbdev: fb_pm2fb: Avoid potential divide
by zero error"), we also need to prevent that same crash from happening
in the udlfb driver as it uses pixclock directly when dividing, which
will crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: fireworks: bound device-supplied status before string array lookup
The status field in an EFW response is a 32-bit value supplied by the
firewire device. efr_status_names[] has 17 entries so a status value
outside that range goes off into the weeds when looking at the %s value.
Even worse, the status could return EFR_STATUS_INCOMPLETE which is
0x80000000, and is obviously not in that array of potential strings.
Fix this up by properly bounding the index against the array size and
printing "unknown" if it's not recognized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usx2y: us144mkii: fix NULL deref on missing interface 0
A malicious USB device with the TASCAM US-144MKII device id can have a
configuration containing bInterfaceNumber=1 but no interface 0. USB
configuration descriptors are not required to assign interface numbers
sequentially, so usb_ifnum_to_if(dev, 0) returns will NULL, which will
then be dereferenced directly.
Fix this up by checking the return value properly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnge: return after auxiliary_device_uninit() in error path
When auxiliary_device_add() fails, the error block calls
auxiliary_device_uninit() but does not return. The uninit drops the
last reference and synchronously runs bnge_aux_dev_release(), which sets
bd->auxr_dev = NULL and frees the underlying object. The subsequent
bd->auxr_dev->net = bd->netdev then dereferences NULL, which is not a
good thing to have happen when trying to clean up from an error.
Add the missing return, as the auxiliary bus documentation states is a
requirement (seems that LLM tools read documentation better than humans
do...)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFC: digital: Bounds check NFC-A cascade depth in SDD response handler
The NFC-A anti-collision cascade in digital_in_recv_sdd_res() appends 3
or 4 bytes to target->nfcid1 on each round, but the number of cascade
rounds is controlled entirely by the peer device. The peer sets the
cascade tag in the SDD_RES (deciding 3 vs 4 bytes) and the
cascade-incomplete bit in the SEL_RES (deciding whether another round
follows).
ISO 14443-3 limits NFC-A to three cascade levels and target->nfcid1 is
sized accordingly (NFC_NFCID1_MAXSIZE = 10), but nothing in the driver
actually enforces this. This means a malicious peer can keep the
cascade running, writing past the heap-allocated nfc_target with each
round.
Fix this by rejecting the response when the accumulated UID would exceed
the buffer.
Commit e329e71013c9 ("NFC: nci: Bounds check struct nfc_target arrays")
fixed similar missing checks against the same field on the NCI path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: cdc-phonet: fix skb frags[] overflow in rx_complete()
A malicious USB device claiming to be a CDC Phonet modem can overflow
the skb_shared_info->frags[] array by sending an unbounded sequence of
full-page bulk transfers.
Drop the skb and increment the length error when the frag limit is
reached. This matches the same fix that commit f0813bcd2d9d ("net:
wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX path") did for the
t7xx driver.
