Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix racy access to FDP placement id array
nvme_query_fdp_info() is called per-path and therefore prone to races.
It populates head->nr_plids/head->plids for fdp registration.
But nothing protects that pair from concurrent access - two paths scanning
the same namespace can race to populate it.
Avoid the race by moving this initialization work to nvme_alloc_ns_head()
which is called once per shared namespace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Remove __counted_by from struct amdxdna_cmd_chain
struct amdxdna_cmd_chain contains a flexible array annotated with
__counted_by(command_count). Since the structure is stored in shared
AMDXDNA_BO_SHARE memory, userspace can modify command_count concurrently.
If command_count is changed to zero, the bounds check generated from
__counted_by may fail and trigger a kernel panic.
Remove __counted_by to avoid relying on the userspace-controlled
command_count for the flexible array bounds check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: bound $AttrDef table walk to the loaded table size
ntfs_attr_find_in_attrdef() walks the in-memory $AttrDef table, but the
loop condition bounds only the start of each entry, not the whole entry:
for (ad = vol->attrdef; (u8 *)ad - (u8 *)vol->attrdef <
vol->attrdef_size && ad->type; ++ad)
struct attr_def is 160 bytes; the guard reads ad->type at offset 128 and
the loop body reads further fields. vol->attrdef is kvzalloc(i_size),
where i_size is the on-disk $AttrDef data size, checked in
load_and_init_attrdef() only as 0 < i_size <= 0x7fffffff. A volume whose
$AttrDef data size is smaller than one entry (e.g. 120 bytes) makes the
read of ad->type run past the allocation. Creating a file reaches this
through ntfs_attr_size_bounds_check() and reads out of bounds:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ntfs_attr_find_in_attrdef+0x66/0xa0
Read of size 4 at addr ffff888005833280 by task init/1
ntfs_attr_find_in_attrdef
ntfs_attr_size_bounds_check
ntfs_attr_can_be_non_resident
ntfs_attr_add
Require the whole entry to lie within attrdef_size in the loop guard, and
reject at mount a $AttrDef too small to hold one attr_def entry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: treat any nonzero dio zero-range return as an error
ntfs_dio_zero_range() returns either 0 or a negative errno from
blkdev_issue_zeroout(); it never returns a positive value. The
zeroing failure check in ntfs_attr_fallocate() therefore never fired,
so a failed zeroing operation was silently ignored: the loop kept
going, the newly allocated clusters were folded into initialized_size
and the write could succeed leaving stale on-disk data.
Treat any nonzero return as an error and abort the allocation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: do not mark the volume clean in sync_fs when errors were recorded
ntfs_put_super() and the remount-read-only path both clear the dirty bit
only when NVolErrors(vol) is false. ntfs_sync_fs() clears it
unconditionally, so any sync() on a volume that recorded an error marks
that volume clean. A volume without this set is then seen as not needing
recovery and it does not run one, so whatever went wrong is never repaired.
This change skips resetting the dirty bit when there are volume errors.
Reproduced on a volume whose $MFTMirr does not match $MFT, which sets the
error flag while leaving the mount read-write: after a write and a sync,
the on-disk volume flags read 0x0000 with this driver and 0x0001 with the
guard in place.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: only count successfully cleared runs when freeing clusters
ntfs_cluster_free_from_rl_nolock() adds a run's length to nr_freed
whenever the error bookkeeping condition is false, which includes
cases where ntfs_bitmap_clear_run() actually failed - e.g. a second
run failing with the same errno as an earlier one, or any failure
after a non-ENOMEM error was already recorded. Since a failed
ntfs_bitmap_clear_run() rolls back its partial modifications, no
bits were cleared for that run, yet its length still inflates
vol->free_clusters, corrupting statfs output and the allocator's
free space gate.
Only count runs whose bitmap clear succeeded.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: don't downgrade half-dead scalar zero spills to STACK_ZERO
states.c:__clean_func_state() can downgrade scalar zero spill to
STACK_ZERO in the following case:
*(u64 *)(r10 - 8) = 0;
... checkpoint ...
r1 = *(u32 *)(r10 - 4);
... no reads from r10-8 ...
Here 4 bytes at r10-8 are dead and verifier changes scalar spill to a
combination: 0000pppp (p stands for poison). Such a change breaks
precision propagation chains. All places that produce STACK_ZERO
should call bpf_mark_chain_precision() for the zero source.
This patch fixes the bug in a simplest way possible:
avoids converting stack spills of zero to STACK_ZERO.
Two smarter approaches are possible:
- do bpf_mark_chain_precision() from __clean_func_state()
- check slot liveness information in check_stack_write_fixed_off()
I investigated both and the changes required are a bit tricky,
hence go with a simple fix for the time being.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: leave HasEA flag untouched on setxattr failure
In ntfs_set_ea(), the exit path unconditionally updates the HasEA
flag based on ea_info_qsize. When an error occurs before
ea_info_qsize is updated, NInoClearHasEA() hides existing on-disk
EAs until the inode is evicted.
Only update the flag on success.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: reject invalid sectors_per_cluster in the boot sector
is_boot_sector_ntfs() checks the boot sector's sectors_per_cluster field
with a range test that rejects 0x81..0xf3 but accepts 0 and other
non-power-of-two counts. A zero value reaches parse_ntfs_boot_sector():
sectors_per_cluster_bits = ffs(sectors_per_cluster) - 1;
...
vol->cluster_size = vol->sector_size << sectors_per_cluster_bits;
ffs(0) is 0, so sectors_per_cluster_bits becomes (unsigned)-1 and the
shift is undefined:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/ntfs/super.c:673:39
shift exponent 4294967295 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
This change rejects any non-power-of-two value, since it feeds the
aforementioned shift via ffs() - 1, which only yields the correct shift for a
power of two.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: fix dma mapping leak in stmmac_tso_xmit()
In stmmac_tso_xmit(), if the DMA mapping of an skb fragment fails, the
frame is dropped but the DMA mappings already created for the linear
part and for the fragments mapped before the failure are never
unmapped, leaking DMA mappings.
Fix the leak by walking back over the descriptors used by the frame and
releasing each of them with stmmac_free_tx_buffer(). Moreover, release
the descriptors with stmmac_release_tx_desc() unmapping the DMA buffers.
