Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: check that server is running in unlock_filesystem
If we are trying to unlock the filesystem via an administrative
interface and nfsd isn't running, it crashes the server. This
happens currently because nfsd4_revoke_states() access state
structures (eg., conf_id_hashtbl) that has been freed as a part
of the server shutdown.

Ensure this can't happen by taking the nfsd_mutex and checking that
the server is still up, and then holding the mutex across the call to
nfsd4_revoke_states().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-verity: disable recursive forward error correction
There are two problems with the recursive correction:
1. It may cause denial-of-service. In fec_read_bufs, there is a loop that
has 253 iterations. For each iteration, we may call verity_hash_for_block
recursively. There is a limit of 4 nested recursions - that means that
there may be at most 253^4 (4 billion) iterations. Red Hat QE team
actually created an image that pushes dm-verity to this limit - and this
image just makes the udev-worker process get stuck in the 'D' state.
2. It doesn't work. In fec_read_bufs we store data into the variable
"fio->bufs", but fio bufs is shared between recursive invocations, if
"verity_hash_for_block" invoked correction recursively, it would
overwrite partially filled fio->bufs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: avoid kernel-infoleak from struct iw_point
struct iw_point has a 32bit hole on 64bit arches.
struct iw_point {
void __user *pointer; /* Pointer to the data (in user space) */
__u16 length; /* number of fields or size in bytes */
__u16 flags; /* Optional params */
};
Make sure to zero the structure to avoid disclosing 32bits of kernel data
to user space.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix memory leak in skb_segment_list for GRO packets
When skb_segment_list() is called during packet forwarding, it handles
packets that were aggregated by the GRO engine.
Historically, the segmentation logic in skb_segment_list assumes that
individual segments are split from a parent SKB and may need to carry
their own socket memory accounting. Accordingly, the code transfers
truesize from the parent to the newly created segments.
Prior to commit ed4cccef64c1 ("gro: fix ownership transfer"), this
truesize subtraction in skb_segment_list() was valid because fragments
still carry a reference to the original socket.
However, commit ed4cccef64c1 ("gro: fix ownership transfer") changed
this behavior by ensuring that fraglist entries are explicitly
orphaned (skb->sk = NULL) to prevent illegal orphaning later in the
stack. This change meant that the entire socket memory charge remained
with the head SKB, but the corresponding accounting logic in
skb_segment_list() was never updated.
As a result, the current code unconditionally adds each fragment's
truesize to delta_truesize and subtracts it from the parent SKB. Since
the fragments are no longer charged to the socket, this subtraction
results in an effective under-count of memory when the head is freed.
This causes sk_wmem_alloc to remain non-zero, preventing socket
destruction and leading to a persistent memory leak.
The leak can be observed via KMEMLEAK when tearing down the networking
environment:
unreferenced object 0xffff8881e6eb9100 (size 2048):
comm "ping", pid 6720, jiffies 4295492526
backtrace:
kmem_cache_alloc_noprof+0x5c6/0x800
sk_prot_alloc+0x5b/0x220
sk_alloc+0x35/0xa00
inet6_create.part.0+0x303/0x10d0
__sock_create+0x248/0x640
__sys_socket+0x11b/0x1d0
Since skb_segment_list() is exclusively used for SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST
packets constructed by GRO, the truesize adjustment is removed.
The call to skb_release_head_state() must be preserved. As documented in
commit cf673ed0e057 ("net: fix fraglist segmentation reference count
leak"), it is still required to correctly drop references to SKB
extensions that may be overwritten during __copy_skb_header().

A TOCTOU and symlink race in svenstaro/miniserve 0.32.0 upload finalization (when uploads are enabled) can allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files outside the intended upload/document root in deployments where the attacker can create/replace filesystem entries in the upload destination directory (e.g., shared writable directory/volume).

A signed integer overflow in docopt.cpp v0.6.2 (LeafPattern::match in docopt_private.h) when merging occurrence counters (e.g., default LONG_MAX + first user "-v/--verbose") can cause counter wrap (negative/unbounded semantics) and lead to logic/policy bypass in applications that rely on occurrence-based limits, rate-gating, or safety toggles. In hardened builds (e.g., UBSan or -ftrapv), the overflow may also result in process abort (DoS).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: mpsse: ensure worker is torn down
When an IRQ worker is running, unplugging the device would cause a
crash. The sealevel hardware this driver was written for was not
hotpluggable, so I never realized it.
This change uses a spinlock to protect a list of workers, which
it tears down on disconnect.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix use-after-free warning in btrfs_get_or_create_delayed_node()
Previously, btrfs_get_or_create_delayed_node() set the delayed_node's
refcount before acquiring the root->delayed_nodes lock.
Commit e8513c012de7 ("btrfs: implement ref_tracker for delayed_nodes")
moved refcount_set inside the critical section, which means there is
no longer a memory barrier between setting the refcount and setting
btrfs_inode->delayed_node.
Without that barrier, the stores to node->refs and
btrfs_inode->delayed_node may become visible out of order. Another
thread can then read btrfs_inode->delayed_node and attempt to
increment a refcount that hasn't been set yet, leading to a
refcounting bug and a use-after-free warning.
The fix is to move refcount_set back to where it was to take
advantage of the implicit memory barrier provided by lock
acquisition.
Because the allocations now happen outside of the lock's critical
section, they can use GFP_NOFS instead of GFP_ATOMIC.
