Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: rawsock: cancel tx_work before socket teardown
In rawsock_release(), cancel any pending tx_work and purge the write
queue before orphaning the socket. rawsock_tx_work runs on the system
workqueue and calls nfc_data_exchange which dereferences the NCI
device. Without synchronization, tx_work can race with socket and
device teardown when a process is killed (e.g. by SIGKILL), leading
to use-after-free or leaked references.
Set SEND_SHUTDOWN first so that if tx_work is already running it will
see the flag and skip transmitting, then use cancel_work_sync to wait
for any in-progress execution to finish, and finally purge any
remaining queued skbs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rsi: Don't default to -EOPNOTSUPP in rsi_mac80211_config
This triggers a WARN_ON in ieee80211_hw_conf_init and isn't the expected
behavior from the driver - other drivers default to 0 too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: dwc: ep: Flush MSI-X write before unmapping its ATU entry
Endpoint drivers use dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() to raise an MSI-X
interrupt to the host using a writel(), which generates a PCI posted write
transaction. There's no completion for posted writes, so the writel() may
return before the PCI write completes. dw_pcie_ep_raise_msix_irq() also
unmaps the outbound ATU entry used for the PCI write, so the write races
with the unmap.
If the PCI write loses the race with the ATU unmap, the write may corrupt
host memory or cause IOMMU errors, e.g., these when running fio with a
larger queue depth against nvmet-pci-epf:
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x0000010000000010
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x0000020000000000
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x000000090000f040
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: 0x0000000000000000
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: event: F_TRANSLATION client: 0000:01:00.0 sid: 0x100 ssid: 0x0 iova: 0x90000f040 ipa: 0x0
arm-smmu-v3 fc900000.iommu: unpriv data write s1 "Input address caused fault" stag: 0x0
Flush the write by performing a readl() of the same address to ensure that
the write has reached the destination before the ATU entry is unmapped.
The same problem was solved for dw_pcie_ep_raise_msi_irq() in commit
8719c64e76bf ("PCI: dwc: ep: Cache MSI outbound iATU mapping"), but there
it was solved by dedicating an outbound iATU only for MSI. We can't do the
same for MSI-X because each vector can have a different msg_addr and the
msg_addr may be changed while the vector is masked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: fix locking for bcm_op runtime updates
Commit c2aba69d0c36 ("can: bcm: add locking for bcm_op runtime updates")
added a locking for some variables that can be modified at runtime when
updating the sending bcm_op with a new TX_SETUP command in bcm_tx_setup().
Usually the RX_SETUP only handles and filters incoming traffic with one
exception: When the RX_RTR_FRAME flag is set a predefined CAN frame is
sent when a specific RTR frame is received. Therefore the rx bcm_op uses
bcm_can_tx() which uses the bcm_tx_lock that was only initialized in
bcm_tx_setup(). Add the missing spin_lock_init() when allocating the
bcm_op in bcm_rx_setup() to handle the RTR case properly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: kalmia: validate USB endpoints
The kalmia driver should validate that the device it is probing has the
proper number and types of USB endpoints it is expecting before it binds
to it. If a malicious device were to not have the same urbs the driver
will crash later on when it blindly accesses these endpoints.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/client: Do not destroy NULL modes
'modes' in drm_client_modeset_probe may fail to kcalloc. If this
occurs, we jump to 'out', calling modes_destroy on it, which
dereferences it. This may result in a NULL pointer dereference in the
error case. Prevent that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata: cancel pending work after clearing deferred_qc
Syzbot reported a WARN_ON() in ata_scsi_deferred_qc_work(), caused by
ap->ops->qc_defer() returning non-zero before issuing the deferred qc.
ata_scsi_schedule_deferred_qc() is called during each command completion.
This function will check if there is a deferred QC, and if
ap->ops->qc_defer() returns zero, meaning that it is possible to queue the
deferred qc at this time (without being deferred), then it will queue the
work which will issue the deferred qc.
Once the work get to run, which can potentially be a very long time after
the work was scheduled, there is a WARN_ON() if ap->ops->qc_defer() returns
non-zero.
While we hold the ap->lock both when assigning and clearing deferred_qc,
and the work itself holds the ap->lock, the code currently does not cancel
the work after clearing the deferred qc.
This means that the following scenario can happen:
1) One or several NCQ commands are queued.
2) A non-NCQ command is queued, gets stored in ap->deferred_qc.
3) Last NCQ command gets completed, work is queued to issue the deferred
qc.
4) Timeout or error happens, ap->deferred_qc is cleared. The queued work is
currently NOT canceled.
5) Port is reset.
6) One or several NCQ commands are queued.
7) A non-NCQ command is queued, gets stored in ap->deferred_qc.
8) Work is finally run. Yet at this time, there is still NCQ commands in
flight.
The work in 8) really belongs to the non-NCQ command in 2), not to the
non-NCQ command in 7). The reason why the work is executed when it is not
supposed to, is because it was never canceled when ap->deferred_qc was
cleared in 4). Thus, ensure that we always cancel the work after clearing
ap->deferred_qc.
Another potential fix would have been to let ata_scsi_deferred_qc_work() do
nothing if ap->ops->qc_defer() returns non-zero. However, canceling the
work when clearing ap->deferred_qc seems slightly more logical, as we hold
the ap->lock when clearing ap->deferred_qc, so we know that the work cannot
be holding the lock. (The function could be waiting for the lock, but that
is okay since it will do nothing if ap->deferred_qc is not set.)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drbd: fix "LOGIC BUG" in drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock()
Even though we check that we "should" be able to do lc_get_cumulative()
while holding the device->al_lock spinlock, it may still fail,
if some other code path decided to do lc_try_lock() with bad timing.
If that happened, we logged "LOGIC BUG for enr=...",
but still did not return an error.
The rest of the code now assumed that this request has references
for the relevant activity log extents.
The implcations are that during an active resync, mutual exclusivity of
resync versus application IO is not guaranteed. And a potential crash
at this point may not realizs that these extents could have been target
of in-flight IO and would need to be resynced just in case.
Also, once the request completes, it will give up activity log references it
does not even hold, which will trigger a BUG_ON(refcnt == 0) in lc_put().
Fix:
Do not crash the kernel for a condition that is harmless during normal
operation: also catch "e->refcnt == 0", not only "e == NULL"
when being noisy about "al_complete_io() called on inactive extent %u\n".
And do not try to be smart and "guess" whether something will work, then
be surprised when it does not.
Deal with the fact that it may or may not work. If it does not, remember a
possible "partially in activity log" state (only possible for requests that
cross extent boundaries), and return an error code from
drbd_al_begin_io_nonblock().
A latter call for the same request will then resume from where we left off.
