Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix in-place encryption corruption in SMB2_write()
SMB2_write() places write payload in iov[1..n] as part of rq_iov.
smb3_init_transform_rq() pointer-shares rq_iov, so crypt_message()
encrypts iov[1] in-place, replacing the original plaintext with
ciphertext. On a replayable error, the retry sends the same iov[1]
which now contains ciphertext instead of the original data,
resulting in corruption.
The corruption is most likely to be observed when connections are
unstable, as reconnects trigger write retries that re-send the
already-encrypted data.
This affects SFU mknod, MF symlinks, etc. On kernels before
6.10 (prior to the netfs conversion), sync writes also used
this path and were similarly affected. The async write path
wasn't unaffected as it uses rq_iter which gets deep-copied.
Fix by moving the write payload into rq_iter via iov_iter_kvec(),
so smb3_init_transform_rq() deep-copies it before encryption.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/apic: Disable x2apic on resume if the kernel expects so
When resuming from s2ram, firmware may re-enable x2apic mode, which may have
been disabled by the kernel during boot either because it doesn't support IRQ
remapping or for other reasons. This causes the kernel to continue using the
xapic interface, while the hardware is in x2apic mode, which causes hangs.
This happens on defconfig + bare metal + s2ram.
Fix this in lapic_resume() by disabling x2apic if the kernel expects it to be
disabled, i.e. when x2apic_mode = 0.
The ACPI v6.6 spec, Section 16.3 [1] says firmware restores either the
pre-sleep configuration or initial boot configuration for each CPU, including
MSR state:
When executing from the power-on reset vector as a result of waking from an
S2 or S3 sleep state, the platform firmware performs only the hardware
initialization required to restore the system to either the state the
platform was in prior to the initial operating system boot, or to the
pre-sleep configuration state. In multiprocessor systems, non-boot
processors should be placed in the same state as prior to the initial
operating system boot.
(further ahead)
If this is an S2 or S3 wake, then the platform runtime firmware restores
minimum context of the system before jumping to the waking vector. This
includes:
CPU configuration. Platform runtime firmware restores the pre-sleep
configuration or initial boot configuration of each CPU (MSR, MTRR,
firmware update, SMBase, and so on). Interrupts must be disabled (for
IA-32 processors, disabled by CLI instruction).
(and other things)
So at least as per the spec, re-enablement of x2apic by the firmware is
allowed if "x2apic on" is a part of the initial boot configuration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ublk: fix NULL pointer dereference in ublk_ctrl_set_size()
ublk_ctrl_set_size() unconditionally dereferences ub->ub_disk via
set_capacity_and_notify() without checking if it is NULL.
ub->ub_disk is NULL before UBLK_CMD_START_DEV completes (it is only
assigned in ublk_ctrl_start_dev()) and after UBLK_CMD_STOP_DEV runs
(ublk_detach_disk() sets it to NULL). Since the UBLK_CMD_UPDATE_SIZE
handler performs no state validation, a user can trigger a NULL pointer
dereference by sending UPDATE_SIZE to a device that has been added but
not yet started, or one that has been stopped.
Fix this by checking ub->ub_disk under ub->mutex before dereferencing
it, and returning -ENODEV if the disk is not available.

...observe that the log section has sectsz=4096 sunit=0, which means
that the roundoff factor is 512, not 4096 as you'd expect. We should
fix mkfs not to generate broken filesystems, but anyone can fuzz the
ondisk superblock so we should be more cautious. I think the inadequate
logic predates commit a6a65fef5ef8d0, but that's clearly going to
require a different backport.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/kbuf: check if target buffer list is still legacy on recycle
There's a gap between when the buffer was grabbed and when it
potentially gets recycled, where if the list is empty, someone could've
upgraded it to a ring provided type. This can happen if the request
is forced via io-wq. The legacy recycling is missing checking if the
buffer_list still exists, and if it's of the correct type. Add those
checks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Fix potential overflow of shmem scatterlist length
When a scatterlists table of a GEM shmem object of size 4 GB or more is
populated with pages allocated from a folio, unsigned int .length
attribute of a scatterlist may get overflowed if total byte length of
pages allocated to that single scatterlist happens to reach or cross the
4GB limit. As a consequence, users of the object may suffer from hitting
unexpected, premature end of the object's backing pages.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd: Fix NULL pointer dereference in device cleanup
When GPU initialization fails due to an unsupported HW block
IP blocks may have a NULL version pointer. During cleanup in
amdgpu_device_fini_hw, the code calls amdgpu_device_set_pg_state and
amdgpu_device_set_cg_state which iterate over all IP blocks and access
adev->ip_blocks[i].version without NULL checks, leading to a kernel
NULL pointer dereference.
Add NULL checks for adev->ip_blocks[i].version in both
amdgpu_device_set_cg_state and amdgpu_device_set_pg_state to prevent
dereferencing NULL pointers during GPU teardown when initialization has
failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix race in DMA ring dequeue
The HCI DMA dequeue path (hci_dma_dequeue_xfer()) may be invoked for
multiple transfers that timeout around the same time. However, the
function is not serialized and can race with itself.
When a timeout occurs, hci_dma_dequeue_xfer() stops the ring, processes
incomplete transfers, and then restarts the ring. If another timeout
triggers a parallel call into the same function, the two instances may
interfere with each other - stopping or restarting the ring at unexpected
times.
Add a mutex so that hci_dma_dequeue_xfer() is serialized with respect to
itself.
