Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: Avoid creating sub-groups asynchronously
The asynchronous creation of sub-groups by a delayed work could lead to a
NULL pointer dereference when the driver directory is removed before the
work completes.
The crash can be easily reproduced with the following commands:
# cd /sys/kernel/config/pci_ep/functions/pci_epf_test
# for i in {1..20}; do mkdir test && rmdir test; done
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000088

Fix this issue by using configfs_add_default_group() API which does not
have the deadlock problem as configfs_register_group() and does not require
the delayed work handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtl8xxxu: fix slab-out-of-bounds in rtl8xxxu_sta_add
The driver does not set hw->sta_data_size, which causes mac80211 to
allocate insufficient space for driver private station data in
__sta_info_alloc(). When rtl8xxxu_sta_add() accesses members of
struct rtl8xxxu_sta_info through sta->drv_priv, this results in a
slab-out-of-bounds write.
KASAN report on RISC-V (VisionFive 2) with RTL8192EU adapter:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in rtl8xxxu_sta_add+0x31c/0x346
Write of size 8 at addr ffffffd6d3e9ae88 by task kworker/u16:0/12
Set hw->sta_data_size to sizeof(struct rtl8xxxu_sta_info) during
probe, similar to how hw->vif_data_size is configured. This ensures
mac80211 allocates sufficient space for the driver's per-station
private data.
Tested on StarFive VisionFive 2 v1.2A board.

The root cause of this was that there was a free (dma_free_attrs) in the
interrupt context. There was a device discovery/fabric scan in
progress. A module unload was issued which set the UNLOADING flag. As
part of the discovery, after receiving an interrupt a work queue was
scheduled (which involved a work to be queued). Since the UNLOADING
flag is set, the work item was not allocated and the mapped memory had
to be freed. The free occurred in interrupt context leading to system
crash. Delay the driver unload until the fabric scan is complete to
avoid the crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: Fix potential block overflow that cause system hang
When a user executes the FITRIM command, an underflow can occur when
calculating nblocks if end_block is too small. Since nblocks is of
type sector_t, which is u64, a negative nblocks value will become a
very large positive integer. This ultimately leads to the block layer
function __blkdev_issue_discard() taking an excessively long time to
process the bio chain, and the ns_segctor_sem lock remains held for a
long period. This prevents other tasks from acquiring the ns_segctor_sem
lock, resulting in the hang reported by syzbot in [1].
If the ending block is too small, typically if it is smaller than 4KiB
range, depending on the usage of the segment 0, it may be possible to
attempt a discard request beyond the device size causing the hang.
Exiting successfully and assign the discarded size (0 in this case)
to range->len.
Although the start and len values in the user input range are too small,
a conservative strategy is adopted here to safely ignore them, which is
equivalent to a no-op; it will not perform any trimming and will not
throw an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfs: ensure sb->s_fs_info is always cleaned up
When hfs was converted to the new mount api a bug was introduced by
changing the allocation pattern of sb->s_fs_info. If setup_bdev_super()
fails after a new superblock has been allocated by sget_fc(), but before
hfs_fill_super() takes ownership of the filesystem-specific s_fs_info
data it was leaked.
Fix this by freeing sb->s_fs_info in hfs_kill_super().

The local variable 'i' is initialized with -EINVAL, but the for loop

If no empty compression mode can be found, the function would return the
out-of-bounds index IAA_COMP_MODES_MAX, which would cause an invalid
