Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_counter: serialize reset with spinlock
Add a global static spinlock to serialize counter fetch+reset
operations, preventing concurrent dump-and-reset from underrunning
values.
The lock is taken before fetching the total so that two parallel
resets cannot both read the same counter values and then both
subtract them.
A global lock is used for simplicity since resets are infrequent.
If this becomes a bottleneck, it can be replaced with a per-net
lock later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: pm8916_bms_vm: Fix use-after-free in power_supply_changed()
Using the `devm_` variant for requesting IRQ _before_ the `devm_`
variant for allocating/registering the `power_supply` handle, means that
the `power_supply` handle will be deallocated/unregistered _before_ the
interrupt handler (since `devm_` naturally deallocates in reverse
allocation order). This means that during removal, there is a race
condition where an interrupt can fire just _after_ the `power_supply`
handle has been freed, *but* just _before_ the corresponding
unregistration of the IRQ handler has run.
This will lead to the IRQ handler calling `power_supply_changed()` with
a freed `power_supply` handle. Which usually crashes the system or
otherwise silently corrupts the memory...
Note that there is a similar situation which can also happen during
`probe()`; the possibility of an interrupt firing _before_ registering
the `power_supply` handle. This would then lead to the nasty situation
of using the `power_supply` handle *uninitialized* in
`power_supply_changed()`.
Fix this racy use-after-free by making sure the IRQ is requested _after_
the registration of the `power_supply` handle.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: sca3000: Fix a resource leak in sca3000_probe()
spi->irq from request_threaded_irq() not released when
iio_device_register() fails. Add an return value check and jump to a
common error handler when iio_device_register() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: avoid per-cpu hold underflow in aa_get_buffer
When aa_get_buffer() pulls from the per-cpu list it unconditionally
decrements cache->hold. If hold reaches 0 while count is still non-zero,
the unsigned decrement wraps to UINT_MAX. This keeps hold non-zero for a
very long time, so aa_put_buffer() never returns buffers to the global
list, which can starve other CPUs and force repeated kmalloc(aa_g_path_max)
allocations.
Guard the decrement so hold never underflows.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix bpf_xdp_store_bytes proto for read-only arg
While making some maps in Cilium read-only from the BPF side, we noticed
that the bpf_xdp_store_bytes proto is incorrect. In particular, the
verifier was throwing the following error:
; ret = ctx_store_bytes(ctx, l3_off + offsetof(struct iphdr, saddr),
&nat->address, 4, 0);
635: (79) r1 = *(u64 *)(r10 -144) ; R1=ctx() R10=fp0 fp-144=ctx()
636: (b4) w2 = 26 ; R2=26
637: (b4) w4 = 4 ; R4=4
638: (b4) w5 = 0 ; R5=0
639: (85) call bpf_xdp_store_bytes#190
write into map forbidden, value_size=6 off=0 size=4
nat comes from a BPF_F_RDONLY_PROG map, so R3 is a PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE.
The verifier checks the helper's memory access to R3 in
check_mem_size_reg, as it reaches ARG_CONST_SIZE argument. The third
argument has expected type ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM, which includes the
MEM_WRITE flag. The verifier thus checks for a BPF_WRITE access on R3.
Given R3 points to a read-only map, the check fails.
Conversely, ARG_PTR_TO_UNINIT_MEM can also lead to the helper reading
from uninitialized memory.
This patch simply fixes the expected argument type to match that of
bpf_skb_store_bytes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix memleak of newsk in unix_stream_connect().
When prepare_peercred() fails in unix_stream_connect(),
unix_release_sock() is not called for newsk, and the memory
is leaked.
Let's move prepare_peercred() before unix_create1().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1: fix memory leak in raid1_run()
raid1_run() calls setup_conf() which registers a thread via
md_register_thread(). If raid1_set_limits() fails, the previously
registered thread is not unregistered, resulting in a memory leak
of the md_thread structure and the thread resource itself.
Add md_unregister_thread() to the error path to properly cleanup
the thread, which aligns with the error handling logic of other paths
in this function.
Compile tested only. Issue found using a prototype static analysis tool
and code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: do not account for OoO in mptcp_rcvbuf_grow()
MPTCP-level OoOs are physiological when multiple subflows are active
concurrently and will not cause retransmissions nor are caused by
drops.
Accounting for them in mptcp_rcvbuf_grow() causes the rcvbuf slowly
drifting towards tcp_rmem[2].
Remove such accounting. Note that subflows will still account for TCP-level
OoO when the MPTCP-level rcvbuf is propagated.
This also closes a subtle and very unlikely race condition with rcvspace
init; active sockets with user-space holding the msk-level socket lock,
could complete such initialization in the receive callback, after that the
first OoO data reaches the rcvbuf and potentially triggering a divide by
zero Oops.

mfd: arizona: Fix regulator resource leak on wm5102_clear_write_sequencer() failure
The wm5102_clear_write_sequencer() helper may return an error
and just return, bypassing the cleanup sequence and causing
regulators to remain enabled, leading to a resource leak.
Change the direct return to jump to the err_reset label to
properly free the resources.
