Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: thp: deny THP for files on anonymous inodes
file_thp_enabled() incorrectly allows THP for files on anonymous inodes
(e.g. guest_memfd and secretmem). These files are created via
alloc_file_pseudo(), which does not call get_write_access() and leaves
inode->i_writecount at 0. Combined with S_ISREG(inode->i_mode) being
true, they appear as read-only regular files when
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS is enabled, making them eligible for THP
collapse.
Anonymous inodes can never pass the inode_is_open_for_write() check
since their i_writecount is never incremented through the normal VFS
open path. The right thing to do is to exclude them from THP eligibility
altogether, since CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS was designed for real
filesystem files (e.g. shared libraries), not for pseudo-filesystem
inodes.
For guest_memfd, this allows khugepaged and MADV_COLLAPSE to create
large folios in the page cache via the collapse path, but the
guest_memfd fault handler does not support large folios. This triggers
WARN_ON_ONCE(folio_test_large(folio)) in kvm_gmem_fault_user_mapping().
For secretmem, collapse_file() tries to copy page contents through the
direct map, but secretmem pages are removed from the direct map. This
can result in a kernel crash:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff88810284d000
RIP: 0010:memcpy_orig+0x16/0x130
Call Trace:
collapse_file
hpage_collapse_scan_file
madvise_collapse
Secretmem is not affected by the crash on upstream as the memory failure
recovery handles the failed copy gracefully, but it still triggers
confusing false memory failure reports:
Memory failure: 0x106d96f: recovery action for clean unevictable
LRU page: Recovered
Check IS_ANON_FILE(inode) in file_thp_enabled() to deny THP for all
anonymous inode files.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-fcloop: Check remoteport port_state before calling done callback
In nvme_fc_handle_ls_rqst_work, the lsrsp->done callback is only set when
remoteport->port_state is FC_OBJSTATE_ONLINE. Otherwise, the
nvme_fc_xmt_ls_rsp's LLDD call to lport->ops->xmt_ls_rsp is expected to
fail and the nvme-fc transport layer itself will directly call
nvme_fc_xmt_ls_rsp_free instead of relying on LLDD's done callback to free
the lsrsp resources.
Update the fcloop_t2h_xmt_ls_rsp routine to check remoteport->port_state.
If online, then lsrsp->done callback will free the lsrsp. Else, return
-ENODEV to signal the nvme-fc transport to handle freeing lsrsp.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: change XDP RxQ frag_size from DMA write length to xdp.frame_sz
The only user of frag_size field in XDP RxQ info is
bpf_xdp_frags_increase_tail(). It clearly expects whole buff size instead
of DMA write size. Different assumptions in ice driver configuration lead
to negative tailroom.
This allows to trigger kernel panic, when using
XDP_ADJUST_TAIL_GROW_MULTI_BUFF xskxceiver test and changing packet size to
6912 and the requested offset to a huge value, e.g.
XSK_UMEM__MAX_FRAME_SIZE * 100.
Due to other quirks of the ZC configuration in ice, panic is not observed
in ZC mode, but tailroom growing still fails when it should not.
Use fill queue buffer truesize instead of DMA write size in XDP RxQ info.
Fix ZC mode too by using the new helper.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ife: Fix metalist update behavior
Whenever an ife action replace changes the metalist, instead of
replacing the old data on the metalist, the current ife code is appending
the new metadata. Aside from being innapropriate behavior, this may lead
to an unbounded addition of metadata to the metalist which might cause an
out of bounds error when running the encode op:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: ets: fix divide by zero in the offload path
Offloading ETS requires computing each class' WRR weight: this is done by
averaging over the sums of quanta as 'q_sum' and 'q_psum'. Using unsigned
int, the same integer size as the individual DRR quanta, can overflow and
even cause division by zero, like it happened in the following splat:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: radiotap: reject radiotap with unknown bits
The radiotap parser is currently only used with the radiotap
namespace (not with vendor namespaces), but if the undefined
field 18 is used, the alignment/size is unknown as well. In
this case, iterator->_next_ns_data isn't initialized (it's
only set for skipping vendor namespaces), and syzbot points
out that we later compare against this uninitialized value.
Fix this by moving the rejection of unknown radiotap fields
down to after the in-namespace lookup, so it will really use
iterator->_next_ns_data only for vendor namespaces, even in
case undefined fields are present.

phy_led_triggers_registers() does not require the RTNL, it does not
make any calls into the network stack which require protection. There
is also no requirement the PHY has been attached to a MAC, the
triggers only make use of phydev state. This allows the call to
phy_led_triggers_registers() to be placed elsewhere. PHY probe() and
release() don't hold RTNL, so solving the AB-BA deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: i801: Revert "i2c: i801: replace acpi_lock with I2C bus lock"
This reverts commit f707d6b9e7c18f669adfdb443906d46cfbaaa0c1.
Under rare circumstances, multiple udev threads can collect i801 device
info on boot and walk i801_acpi_io_handler somewhat concurrently. The
first will note the area is reserved by acpi to prevent further touches.
This ultimately causes the area to be deregistered. The second will
enter i801_acpi_io_handler after the area is unregistered but before a
check can be made that the area is unregistered. i2c_lock_bus relies on
the now unregistered area containing lock_ops to lock the bus. The end
result is a kernel panic on boot with the following backtrace;

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: Don't hex dump plaintext password data
set_new_password() hex dumps the entire buffer, which contains plaintext
password data, including current and new passwords. Remove the hex dump
to avoid leaking credentials.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/deadline: Fix missing ENQUEUE_REPLENISH during PI de-boosting
Running stress-ng --schedpolicy 0 on an RT kernel on a big machine
might lead to the following WARNINGs (edited).

The problem is that when a SCHED_DEADLINE task (lock holder) is
changed to a lower priority class via sched_setscheduler(), it may
fail to properly inherit the parameters of potential DEADLINE donors
if it didn't already inherit them in the past (shorter deadline than
donor's at that time). This might lead to bandwidth accounting
corruption, as enqueue_task_dl() won't recognize the lock holder as
boosted.
The scenario occurs when:
1. A DEADLINE task (donor) blocks on a PI mutex held by another
DEADLINE task (holder), but the holder doesn't inherit parameters
(e.g., it already has a shorter deadline)
2. sched_setscheduler() changes the holder from DEADLINE to a lower
class while still holding the mutex
3. The holder should now inherit DEADLINE parameters from the donor
and be enqueued with ENQUEUE_REPLENISH, but this doesn't happen
Fix the issue by introducing __setscheduler_dl_pi(), which detects when
a DEADLINE (proper or boosted) task gets setscheduled to a lower
priority class. In case, the function makes the task inherit DEADLINE
parameters of the donoer (pi_se) and sets ENQUEUE_REPLENISH flag to
ensure proper bandwidth accounting during the next enqueue operation.
