Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: r8152: fix resume reset deadlock
rtl8152 can trigger device reset during reset which
potentially can result in a deadlock:
**** DPM device timeout after 10 seconds; 15 seconds until panic ****
Call Trace:

usb_resume_both+0x104/0x150
usb_resume+0x22/0x110
The problem is that rtl8152 resume calls reset under
tp->control mutex while reset basically re-enters rtl8152
and attempts to acquire the same tp->control lock once
again.
Reset INACCESSIBLE device outside of tp->control mutex
scope to avoid recursive mutex_lock() deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix NULL pointer dereference in ceph_mds_auth_match()
The CephFS kernel client has regression starting from 6.18-rc1.
We have issue in ceph_mds_auth_match() if fs_name == NULL:
const char fs_name = mdsc->fsc->mount_options->mds_namespace;
...
if (auth->match.fs_name && strcmp(auth->match.fs_name, fs_name)) {
/ fsname mismatch, try next one */
return 0;
}
Patrick Donnelly suggested that: In summary, we should definitely start
decoding `fs_name` from the MDSMap and do strict authorizations checks
against it. Note that the `-o mds_namespace=foo` should only be used for
selecting the file system to mount and nothing else. It's possible
no mds_namespace is specified but the kernel will mount the only
file system that exists which may have name "foo".
This patch reworks ceph_mdsmap_decode() and namespace_equals() with
the goal of supporting the suggested concept. Now struct ceph_mdsmap
contains m_fs_name field that receives copy of extracted FS name
by ceph_extract_encoded_string(). For the case of "old" CephFS file
systems, it is used "cephfs" name.
[ idryomov: replace redundant %*pE with %s in ceph_mdsmap_decode(),
get rid of a series of strlen() calls in ceph_namespace_match(),
drop changes to namespace_equals() body to avoid treating empty
mds_namespace as equal, drop changes to ceph_mdsc_handle_fsmap()
as namespace_equals() isn't an equivalent substitution there ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: aloop: Fix racy access at PCM trigger
The PCM trigger callback of aloop driver tries to check the PCM state
and stop the stream of the tied substream in the corresponding cable.
Since both check and stop operations are performed outside the cable
lock, this may result in UAF when a program attempts to trigger
frequently while opening/closing the tied stream, as spotted by
fuzzers.
For addressing the UAF, this patch changes two things:
- It covers the most of code in loopback_check_format() with
cable->lock spinlock, and add the proper NULL checks. This avoids
already some racy accesses.
- In addition, now we try to check the state of the capture PCM stream
that may be stopped in this function, which was the major pain point
leading to UAF.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Sanitize syscall table indexing under speculation
The syscall number is a user-controlled value used to index into the
syscall table. Use array_index_nospec() to clamp this value after the
bounds check to prevent speculative out-of-bounds access and subsequent
data leakage via cache side channels.

smb/server: call ksmbd_session_rpc_close() on error path in create_smb2_pipe()
When ksmbd_iov_pin_rsp() fails, we should call ksmbd_session_rpc_close().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: mmp_pdma: Fix race condition in mmp_pdma_residue()
Add proper locking in mmp_pdma_residue() to prevent use-after-free when
accessing descriptor list and descriptor contents.
The race occurs when multiple threads call tx_status() while the tasklet
on another CPU is freeing completed descriptors:
CPU 0 CPU 1
----- -----
mmp_pdma_tx_status()
mmp_pdma_residue()
-> NO LOCK held
list_for_each_entry(sw, ..)
DMA interrupt
dma_do_tasklet()
-> spin_lock(&desc_lock)
list_move(sw->node, ...)
spin_unlock(&desc_lock)
| dma_pool_free(sw) <- FREED!
-> access sw->desc <- UAF!
This issue can be reproduced when running dmatest on the same channel with
multiple threads (threads_per_chan > 1).
Fix by protecting the chain_running list iteration and descriptor access
with the chan->desc_lock spinlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom before skb_push
This avoids occasional skb_under_panic Oops from wl1271_tx_work. In this case, headroom is
less than needed (typically 110 - 94 = 16 bytes).
