ocfs2_fiemap() takes a read lock of the ip_alloc_sem semaphore (since
v2.6.22-527-g7307de80510a) and calls fiemap_fill_next_extent() to read the
extent list of this running mmap executable. The user supplied buffer to
hold the fiemap information page faults calling ocfs2_page_mkwrite() which
will take a write lock (since v2.6.27-38-g00dc417fa3e7) of the same
semaphore. This recursive semaphore will hold filesystem locks and causes
a hang of the fileystem.
The ip_alloc_sem protects the inode extent list and size. Release the
read semphore before calling fiemap_fill_next_extent() in ocfs2_fiemap()
and ocfs2_fiemap_inline(). This does an unnecessary semaphore lock/unlock
on the last extent but simplifies the error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pcmcia: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in __iodyn_find_io_region()
In __iodyn_find_io_region(), pcmcia_make_resource() is assigned to
res and used in pci_bus_alloc_resource(). There is a dereference of res
in pci_bus_alloc_resource(), which could lead to a NULL pointer
dereference on failure of pcmcia_make_resource().
Fix this bug by adding a check of res.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: fix memory leak in pad_compress_skb
If alloc_skb() fails in pad_compress_skb(), it returns NULL without
releasing the old skb. The caller does:
skb = pad_compress_skb(ppp, skb);
if (!skb)
goto drop;
drop:
kfree_skb(skb);
When pad_compress_skb() returns NULL, the reference to the old skb is
lost and kfree_skb(skb) ends up doing nothing, leading to a memory leak.
Align pad_compress_skb() semantics with realloc(): only free the old
skb if allocation and compression succeed. At the call site, use the
new_skb variable so the original skb is not lost when pad_compress_skb()
fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: properly unshare skbs in ax25_kiss_rcv()
Bernard Pidoux reported a regression apparently caused by commit
c353e8983e0d ("net: introduce per netns packet chains").
skb->dev becomes NULL and we crash in __netif_receive_skb_core().
Before above commit, different kind of bugs or corruptions could happen
without a major crash.
But the root cause is that ax25_kiss_rcv() can queue/mangle input skb
without checking if this skb is shared or not.
Many thanks to Bernard Pidoux for his help, diagnosis and tests.
We had a similar issue years ago fixed with commit 7aaed57c5c28
("phonet: properly unshare skbs in phonet_rcv()").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: arizona: Use pm_runtime_resume_and_get() to prevent refcnt leak
In arizona_clk32k_enable(), we should use pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
as pm_runtime_get_sync() will increase the refcnt even when it
returns an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ses: Handle enclosure with just a primary component gracefully
This reverts commit 3fe97ff3d949 ("scsi: ses: Don't attach if enclosure
has no components") and introduces proper handling of case where there are
no detected secondary components, but primary component (enumerated in
num_enclosures) does exist. That fix was originally proposed by Ding Hui
<dinghui@sangfor.com.cn>.
Completely ignoring devices that have one primary enclosure and no
secondary one results in ses_intf_add() bailing completely
scsi 2:0:0:254: enclosure has no enumerated components
scsi 2:0:0:254: Failed to bind enclosure -12ven in valid configurations such
even on valid configurations with 1 primary and 0 secondary enclosures as

=====
We can get a crash when disconnecting the iSCSI session,
the call trace like this:

[ffff00002a00fe70] kthread at ffff000008116e98
In ses_intf_add, components count could be 0, and kcalloc 0 size scomp,
but not saved in edev->component[i].scratch
In this situation, edev->component[0].scratch is an invalid pointer,
when kfree it in ses_intf_remove_enclosure, a crash like above would happen
The call trace also could be other random cases when kfree cannot catch
the invalid pointer
We should not use edev->component[] array when the components count is 0
We also need check index when use edev->component[] array in
ses_enclosure_data_process

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: net: fix use after free in fwnet_finish_incoming_packet()
The netif_rx() function frees the skb so we can't dereference it to
save the skb->len.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cassini: Fix a memory leak in the error handling path of cas_init_one()
cas_saturn_firmware_init() allocates some memory using vmalloc(). This
memory is freed in the .remove() function but not it the error handling
path of the probe.
Add the missing vfree() to avoid a memory leak, should an error occur.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/MCE: Always save CS register on AMD Zen IF Poison errors
The Instruction Fetch (IF) units on current AMD Zen-based systems do not
guarantee a synchronous #MC is delivered for poison consumption errors.
Therefore, MCG_STATUS[EIPV|RIPV] will not be set. However, the
microarchitecture does guarantee that the exception is delivered within
the same context. In other words, the exact rIP is not known, but the
context is known to not have changed.
There is no architecturally-defined method to determine this behavior.
The Code Segment (CS) register is always valid on such IF unit poison
errors regardless of the value of MCG_STATUS[EIPV|RIPV].
Add a quirk to save the CS register for poison consumption from the IF
unit banks.
This is needed to properly determine the context of the error.
Otherwise, the severity grading function will assume the context is
IN_KERNEL due to the m->cs value being 0 (the initialized value). This
leads to unnecessary kernel panics on data poison errors due to the
kernel believing the poison consumption occurred in kernel context.
