Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Fix possible dereference of uninitialized pointer
There is a pointer head_page in rb_meta_validate_events() which is not
initialized at the beginning of a function. This pointer can be dereferenced
if there is a failure during reader page validation. In this case the control
is passed to "invalid" label where the pointer is dereferenced in a loop.
To fix the issue initialize orig_head and head_page before calling
rb_validate_buffer.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: supply snapshot context in ceph_zero_partial_object()
The ceph_zero_partial_object function was missing proper snapshot
context for its OSD write operations, which could lead to data
inconsistencies in snapshots.
Reproducer:
../src/vstart.sh --new -x --localhost --bluestore
./bin/ceph auth caps client.fs_a mds 'allow rwps fsname=a' mon 'allow r fsname=a' osd 'allow rw tag cephfs data=a'
mount -t ceph fs_a@.a=/ /mnt/mycephfs/ -o conf=./ceph.conf
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/mycephfs/foo bs=64K count=1
mkdir /mnt/mycephfs/.snap/snap1
md5sum /mnt/mycephfs/.snap/snap1/foo
fallocate -p -o 0 -l 4096 /mnt/mycephfs/foo
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop/caches
md5sum /mnt/mycephfs/.snap/snap1/foo # get different md5sum!!

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: mchp-ipc-sbi: fix out-of-bounds access in mchp_ipc_get_cluster_aggr_irq()
The cluster_cfg array is dynamically allocated to hold per-CPU
configuration structures, with its size based on the number of online
CPUs. Previously, this array was indexed using hartid, which may be
non-contiguous or exceed the bounds of the array, leading to
out-of-bounds access.
Switch to using cpuid as the index, as it is guaranteed to be within
the valid range provided by for_each_online_cpu().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Flush exception handling work when RPM level is zero
Ensure that the exception event handling work is explicitly flushed during
suspend when the runtime power management level is set to UFS_PM_LVL_0.
When the RPM level is zero, the device power mode and link state both
remain active. Previously, the UFS core driver bypassed flushing exception
event handling jobs in this configuration. This created a race condition
where the driver could attempt to access the host controller to handle an
exception after the system had already entered a deep power-down state,
resulting in a system crash.
Explicitly flush this work and disable auto BKOPs before the suspend
callback proceeds. This guarantees that pending exception tasks complete
and prevents illegal hardware access during the power-down sequence.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Fix double destroy_workqueue on service rescan PCI path
While testing corner cases in the driver, a use-after-free crash
was found on the service rescan PCI path.
When mana_serv_reset() calls mana_gd_suspend(), mana_gd_cleanup()
destroys gc->service_wq. If the subsequent mana_gd_resume() fails
with -ETIMEDOUT or -EPROTO, the code falls through to
mana_serv_rescan() which triggers pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device().
This invokes the PCI .remove callback (mana_gd_remove), which calls
mana_gd_cleanup() a second time, attempting to destroy the already-
freed workqueue. Fix this by NULL-checking gc->service_wq in
mana_gd_cleanup() and setting it to NULL after destruction.

arm64: Add support for TSV110 Spectre-BHB mitigation
The TSV110 processor is vulnerable to the Spectre-BHB (Branch History
Buffer) attack, which can be exploited to leak information through
branch prediction side channels. This commit adds the MIDR of TSV110
to the list for software mitigation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: fiemap page fault fix
In gfs2_fiemap(), we are calling iomap_fiemap() while holding the inode
glock. This can lead to recursive glock taking if the fiemap buffer is
memory mapped to the same inode and accessing it triggers a page fault.
Fix by disabling page faults for iomap_fiemap() and faulting in the
buffer by hand if necessary.
Fixes xfstest generic/742.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: chips-media: wave5: Fix Null reference while testing fluster
When multi instances are created/destroyed, many interrupts happens
and structures for decoder are removed.
"struct vpu_instance" this structure is shared for all flow in the decoder,
so if the structure is not protected by lock, Null dereference
could happens sometimes.
IRQ Handler was spilt to two phases and Lock was added as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: of: display_timing: fix refcount leak in of_get_display_timings()
of_parse_phandle() returns a device_node with refcount incremented,
which is stored in 'entry' and then copied to 'native_mode'. When the
error paths at lines 184 or 192 jump to 'entryfail', native_mode's
refcount is not decremented, causing a refcount leak.
Fix this by changing the goto target from 'entryfail' to 'timingfail',
which properly calls of_node_put(native_mode) before cleanup.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events from vcpu_block()
Ignore -EBUSY when checking nested events after exiting a blocking state
while L2 is active, as exiting to userspace will generate a spurious
userspace exit, usually with KVM_EXIT_UNKNOWN, and likely lead to the VM's
demise. Continuing with the wakeup isn't perfect either, as *something*
has gone sideways if a vCPU is awakened in L2 with an injected event (or
worse, a nested run pending), but continuing on gives the VM a decent
chance of surviving without any major side effects.
As explained in the Fixes commits, it _should_ be impossible for a vCPU to
be put into a blocking state with an already-injected event (exception,
IRQ, or NMI). Unfortunately, userspace can stuff MP_STATE and/or injected
events, and thus put the vCPU into what should be an impossible state.
Don't bother trying to preserve the WARN, e.g. with an anti-syzkaller
Kconfig, as WARNs can (hopefully) be added in paths where _KVM_ would be
violating x86 architecture, e.g. by WARNing if KVM attempts to inject an
exception or interrupt while the vCPU isn't running.
