Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: stop parsing UAC2 rates at MAX_NR_RATES
parse_uac2_sample_rate_range() caps the number of enumerated
rates at MAX_NR_RATES, but it only breaks out of the current
rate loop. A malformed UAC2 RANGE response with additional
triplets continues parsing the remaining triplets and repeatedly
prints "invalid uac2 rates" while probe still holds
register_mutex.
Stop the whole parse once the cap is reached and return the
number of rates collected so far.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: atmel-aes - Fix 3-page memory leak in atmel_aes_buff_cleanup
atmel_aes_buff_init() allocates 4 pages using __get_free_pages() with
ATMEL_AES_BUFFER_ORDER, but atmel_aes_buff_cleanup() frees only the
first page using free_page(), leaking the remaining 3 pages. Use
free_pages() with ATMEL_AES_BUFFER_ORDER to fix the memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid for node_mem_{used,free}_bp
Patch series "mm/damon/core: validate damos_quota_goal->nid".
node_mem[cg]_{used,free}_bp DAMOS quota goals receive the node id. The
node id is used for si_meminfo_node() and NODE_DATA() without proper
validation. As a result, privileged users can trigger an out of bounds
memory access using DAMON_SYSFS. Fix the issues.
The issue was originally reported [1] with a fix by another author. The
original author announced [2] that they will stop working including the
fix that was still in the review stage. Hence I'm restarting this.
This patch (of 2):
Users can set damos_quota_goal->nid with arbitrary value for
node_mem_{used,free}_bp. But DAMON core is using those for
si_meminfo_node() without the validation of the value. This can result in
out of bounds memory access. The issue can actually triggered using DAMON
user-space tool (damo), like below.
$ sudo ./damo start --damos_action stat \
--damos_quota_goal node_mem_used_bp 50% -1 \
--damos_quota_interval 1s
$ sudo dmesg
[...]
[ 65.565986] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000098
Fix this issue by adding the validation of the given node. If an invalid
node id is given, it returns 0% for used memory ratio, and 100% for free
memory ratio.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: Fix thermal zone governor cleanup issues
If thermal_zone_device_register_with_trips() fails after adding
a thermal governor to the thermal zone being registered, the
governor is not removed from it as appropriate which may lead to
a memory leak.
In turn, thermal_zone_device_unregister() calls thermal_set_governor()
without acquiring the thermal zone lock beforehand which may race with
a governor update via sysfs and may lead to a use-after-free in that
case.
Address these issues by adding two thermal_set_governor() calls, one to
thermal_release() to remove the governor from the given thermal zone,
and one to the thermal zone registration error path to cover failures
preceding the thermal zone device registration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: ibmasm: fix OOB MMIO read in ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt()
ibmasm_handle_mouse_interrupt() performs an out-of-bounds MMIO read
when the queue reader or writer index from hardware exceeds
REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE (60).
A compromised service processor can trigger this by writing an
out-of-range value to the reader or writer MMIO register before
asserting an interrupt. Since writer is re-read from hardware on
every loop iteration, it can also be set to an out-of-range value
after the loop has already started.
The root cause is that get_queue_reader() and get_queue_writer() return
raw readl() values that are passed directly into get_queue_entry(),
which computes:
queue_begin + reader * sizeof(struct remote_input)
with no bounds check. This unchecked MMIO address is then passed to
memcpy_fromio(), reading 8 bytes from unintended device registers.
For sufficiently large values the address falls outside the PCI BAR
mapping entirely, triggering a machine check exception.
Fix by checking both indices against REMOTE_QUEUE_SIZE at the top of
the loop body, before any call to get_queue_entry(). On an out-of-range
value, reset the reader register to 0 via set_queue_reader() before
breaking, so that normal queue operation can resume if the corrupted
hardware state is transient.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm mirror: fix integer overflow in create_dirty_log()
The argument count calculation in create_dirty_log() performs
`*args_used = 2 + param_count` before validating against argc. When a
user provides a param_count close to UINT_MAX via the device mapper
table string, this unsigned addition wraps around to a small value,
causing the subsequent `argc < *args_used` check to be bypassed.
The overflowed param_count is then passed as argc to dm_dirty_log_create(),
where it can cause out-of-bounds reads on the argv array.
Fix by comparing param_count against argc - 2 before performing the
addition, following the same pattern used by parse_features() in the
same file. Since argc >= 2 is already guaranteed, the subtraction is
safe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: Prevent potential null-ptr-deref in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
If a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY contains a zero value for both
protocol and result, this is currently not treated as an error. In case
of ac->negotiating == true and ac->protocol > 0, this leads to setting
ac->protocol = 0 and ac->ops = NULL. Thereafter, the check for
ac->protocol != protocol returns false, and init_protocol() is not
called. Subsequently, ac->ops->handle_reply() is called, which leads to
a null pointer dereference, because ac->ops is still NULL.
This patch changes the check for ac->protocol != protocol to
!ac->protocol, as this also includes the case when the protocol was set
to zero in the message. This causes the message to be treated as
containing a bad auth protocol.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mtk-jpeg: fix use-after-free in release path due to uncancelled work
The mtk_jpeg_release() function frees the context structure (ctx) without
first cancelling any pending or running work in ctx->jpeg_work. This
creates a race window where the workqueue callback may still be accessing
the context memory after it has been freed.
Race condition:
CPU 0 (release) CPU 1 (workqueue)
---------------- ------------------
close()
mtk_jpeg_release()
mtk_jpegenc_worker()
ctx = work->data
// accessing ctx
kfree(ctx) // freed!
access ctx // UAF!
The work is queued via queue_work() during JPEG encode/decode operations
(via mtk_jpeg_device_run). If the device is closed while work is pending
or running, the work handler will access freed memory.
Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() BEFORE acquiring the mutex. This
ordering is critical: if cancel_work_sync() is called after mutex_lock(),
and the work handler also tries to acquire the same mutex, it would cause
a deadlock.
Note: The open error path does NOT need cancel_work_sync() because
INIT_WORK() only initializes the work structure - it does not schedule
it. Work is only scheduled later during ioctl operations.

rxrpc: Fix memory leaks in rxkad_verify_response()
Fix rxkad_verify_response() to free the ticket and the server key under all
circumstances by initialising the ticket pointer to NULL and then making
all paths through the function after the first allocation has been done go
through a single common epilogue that just releases everything - where all
the releases skip on a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/memfd_luo: fix physical address conversion in put_folios cleanup
In memfd_luo_retrieve_folios()'s put_folios cleanup path:
1. kho_restore_folio() expects a phys_addr_t (physical address) but
receives a raw PFN (pfolio->pfn). This causes kho_restore_page() to
check the wrong physical address (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT instead of the
actual physical address).
2. This loop lacks the !pfolio->pfn check that exists in the main
retrieval loop and memfd_luo_discard_folios(), which could
incorrectly process sparse file holes where pfn=0.
Fix by converting PFN to physical address with PFN_PHYS() and adding
the !pfolio->pfn check, matching the pattern used elsewhere in this file.
This issue was identified by the AI review.
