In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix kmemleak warning for percpu hashmap
Vlad Poenaru reported the following kmemleak issue:
unreferenced object 0x606fd7c44ac8 (size 32):
backtrace (crc 0):
pcpu_alloc_noprof+0x730/0xeb0
bpf_map_alloc_percpu+0x69/0xc0
prealloc_init+0x9d/0x1b0
htab_map_alloc+0x363/0x510

__sys_bpf+0x16b/0x3e0
__x64_sys_bpf+0x18/0x20
do_syscall_64+0x7b/0x150
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
Further investigation shows the reason is due to not 8-byte aligned
store of percpu pointer in htab_elem_set_ptr():
*(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size) = pptr;
Note that the whole htab_elem alignment is 8 (for x86_64). If the key_size
is 4, that means pptr is stored in a location which is 4 byte aligned but
not 8 byte aligned. In mm/kmemleak.c, scan_block() scans the memory based
on 8 byte stride, so it won't detect above pptr, hence reporting the memory
leak.
In htab_map_alloc(), we already have
htab->elem_size = sizeof(struct htab_elem) +
round_up(htab->map.key_size, 8);
if (percpu)
htab->elem_size += sizeof(void *);
else
htab->elem_size += round_up(htab->map.value_size, 8);
So storing pptr with 8-byte alignment won't cause any problem and can fix
kmemleak too.
The issue can be reproduced with bpf selftest as well:
1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK config
2. Add a getchar() before skel destroy in test_hash_map() in prog_tests/for_each.c.
The purpose is to keep map available so kmemleak can be detected.
3. run './test_progs -t for_each/hash_map &' and a kmemleak should be reported.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in dev_uevent()
If userspace reads "uevent" device attribute at the same time as another
threads unbinds the device from its driver, change to dev->driver from a
valid pointer to NULL may result in crash. Fix this by using READ_ONCE()
when fetching the pointer, and take bus' drivers klist lock to make sure
driver instance will not disappear while we access it.
Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting the driver pointer to ensure there is no
tearing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Fix WRITE_SAME No Data Buffer crash
In newer version of the SBC specs, we have a NDOB bit that indicates there
is no data buffer that gets written out. If this bit is set using commands
like "sg_write_same --ndob" we will crash in target_core_iblock/file's
execute_write_same handlers when we go to access the se_cmd->t_data_sg
because its NULL.
This patch adds a check for the NDOB bit in the common WRITE SAME code
because we don't support it. And, it adds a check for zero SG elements in
each handler in case the initiator tries to send a normal WRITE SAME with
no data buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: zero i_disksize when initializing the bootloader inode
If the boot loader inode has never been used before, the
EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT inode will initialize it, including setting the
i_size to 0. However, if the "never before used" boot loader has a
non-zero i_size, then i_disksize will be non-zero, and the
inconsistency between i_size and i_disksize can trigger a kernel
warning:

Reproducer:
1. create corrupted image and mount it:
mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 200
debugfs -wR "sif <5> size 25700" /tmp/foo.img
mount -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img /mnt
cd /mnt
echo 123 > file
2. Run the reproducer program:
posix_memalign(&buf, 1024, 1024)
fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_DIRECT);
ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
write(fd, buf, 1024);
Fix this by setting i_disksize as well as i_size to zero when
initiaizing the boot loader inode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: update s_journal_inum if it changes after journal replay
When mounting a crafted ext4 image, s_journal_inum may change after journal
replay, which is obviously unreasonable because we have successfully loaded
and replayed the journal through the old s_journal_inum. And the new
s_journal_inum bypasses some of the checks in ext4_get_journal(), which
may trigger a null pointer dereference problem. So if s_journal_inum
changes after the journal replay, we ignore the change, and rewrite the
current journal_inum to the superblock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/iommu: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.

Above issue happens as follows:
ext4_iget
ext4_find_inline_data_nolock ->i_inline_off=164 i_inline_size=60
ext4_try_add_inline_entry
__ext4_mark_inode_dirty
ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea ->i_extra_isize=32 s_want_extra_isize=44
ext4_xattr_shift_entries
->after shift i_inline_off is incorrect, actually is change to 176
ext4_try_add_inline_entry
ext4_update_inline_dir
get_max_inline_xattr_value_size
if (EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off)
entry = (struct ext4_xattr_entry *)((void *)raw_inode +
EXT4_I(inode)->i_inline_off);
free += EXT4_XATTR_SIZE(le32_to_cpu(entry->e_value_size));
->As entry is incorrect, then 'free' may be negative
ext4_update_inline_data
value = kzalloc(len, GFP_NOFS);
-> len is unsigned int, maybe very large, then trigger warning when
'kzalloc()'
To resolve the above issue we need to update 'i_inline_off' after
'ext4_xattr_shift_entries()'. We do not need to set
EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA flag here, since ext4_mark_inode_dirty()
already sets this flag if needed. Setting EXT4_STATE_MAY_INLINE_DATA
when it is needed may trigger a BUG_ON in ext4_writepages().
