Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: return EISDIR on nfs3_proc_create if d_alias is a dir
If we found an alias through nfs3_do_create/nfs_add_or_obtain
/d_splice_alias which happens to be a dir dentry, we don't return
any error, and simply forget about this alias, but the original
dentry we were adding and passed as parameter remains negative.
This later causes an oops on nfs_atomic_open_v23/finish_open since we
supply a negative dentry to do_dentry_open.
This has been observed running lustre-racer, where dirs and files are
created/removed concurrently with the same name and O_EXCL is not
used to open files (frequent file redirection).
While d_splice_alias typically returns a directory alias or NULL, we
explicitly check d_is_dir() to ensure that we don't attempt to perform
file operations (like finish_open) on a directory inode, which triggers
the observed oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Fix possible NULL pointer dereference in ufshcd_add_command_trace()
The kernel log indicates a crash in ufshcd_add_command_trace, due to a NULL
pointer dereference when accessing hwq->id. This can happen if
ufshcd_mcq_req_to_hwq() returns NULL.
This patch adds a NULL check for hwq before accessing its id field to
prevent a kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
unshare: fix unshare_fs() handling
There's an unpleasant corner case in unshare(2), when we have a
CLONE_NEWNS in flags and current->fs hadn't been shared at all; in that
case copy_mnt_ns() gets passed current->fs instead of a private copy,
which causes interesting warts in proof of correctness]
> I guess if private means fs->users == 1, the condition could still be true.
Unfortunately, it's worse than just a convoluted proof of correctness.
Consider the case when we have CLONE_NEWCGROUP in addition to CLONE_NEWNS
(and current->fs->users == 1).
We pass current->fs to copy_mnt_ns(), all right. Suppose it succeeds and
flips current->fs->{pwd,root} to corresponding locations in the new namespace.
Now we proceed to copy_cgroup_ns(), which fails (e.g. with -ENOMEM).
We call put_mnt_ns() on the namespace created by copy_mnt_ns(), it's
destroyed and its mount tree is dissolved, but... current->fs->root and
current->fs->pwd are both left pointing to now detached mounts.
They are pinning those, so it's not a UAF, but it leaves the calling
process with unshare(2) failing with -ENOMEM _and_ leaving it with
pwd and root on detached isolated mounts. The last part is clearly a bug.
There is other fun related to that mess (races with pivot_root(), including
the one between pivot_root() and fork(), of all things), but this one
is easy to isolate and fix - treat CLONE_NEWNS as "allocate a new
fs_struct even if it hadn't been shared in the first place". Sure, we could
go for something like "if both CLONE_NEWNS *and* one of the things that might
end up failing after copy_mnt_ns() call in create_new_namespaces() are set,
force allocation of new fs_struct", but let's keep it simple - the cost
of copy_fs_struct() is trivial.
Another benefit is that copy_mnt_ns() with CLONE_NEWNS *always* gets
a freshly allocated fs_struct, yet to be attached to anything. That
seriously simplifies the analysis...
FWIW, that bug had been there since the introduction of unshare(2) ;-/

scsi: mpi3mr: Add NULL checks when resetting request and reply queues
The driver encountered a crash during resource cleanup when the reply and
request queues were NULL due to freed memory. This issue occurred when the
creation of reply or request queues failed, and the driver freed the memory
first, but attempted to mem set the content of the freed memory, leading to
a system crash.
Add NULL pointer checks for reply and request queues before accessing the

rxrpc, afs: Fix missing error pointer check after rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer()
rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() can also return error pointers in addition to
NULL, so just checking for NULL is not sufficient.
Fix this by:
(1) Changing rxrpc_kernel_lookup_peer() to return -ENOMEM rather than NULL
on allocation failure.
(2) Making the callers in afs use IS_ERR() and PTR_ERR() to pass on the
error code returned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: RX, Fix XDP multi-buf frag counting for legacy RQ
XDP multi-buf programs can modify the layout of the XDP buffer when the
program calls bpf_xdp_pull_data() or bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(). The
referenced commit in the fixes tag corrected the assumption in the mlx5
driver that the XDP buffer layout doesn't change during a program
execution. However, this fix introduced another issue: the dropped
fragments still need to be counted on the driver side to avoid page
fragment reference counting issues.
Such issue can be observed with the
test_xdp_native_adjst_tail_shrnk_data selftest when using a payload of
3600 and shrinking by 256 bytes (an upcoming selftest patch): the last
fragment gets released by the XDP code but doesn't get tracked by the
driver. This results in a negative pp_ref_count during page release and
the following splat:

This patch fixes the issue by doing page frag counting on all the
original XDP buffer fragments for all relevant XDP actions (XDP_TX ,
XDP_REDIRECT and XDP_PASS). This is basically reverting to the original
counting before the commit in the fixes tag.
As frag_page is still pointing to the original tail, the nr_frags
parameter to xdp_update_skb_frags_info() needs to be calculated
in a different way to reflect the new nr_frags.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: RX, Fix XDP multi-buf frag counting for striding RQ
XDP multi-buf programs can modify the layout of the XDP buffer when the
program calls bpf_xdp_pull_data() or bpf_xdp_adjust_tail(). The
referenced commit in the fixes tag corrected the assumption in the mlx5
driver that the XDP buffer layout doesn't change during a program
execution. However, this fix introduced another issue: the dropped
fragments still need to be counted on the driver side to avoid page
fragment reference counting issues.
The issue was discovered by the drivers/net/xdp.py selftest,
more specifically the test_xdp_native_tx_mb:
- The mlx5 driver allocates a page_pool page and initializes it with
a frag counter of 64 (pp_ref_count=64) and the internal frag counter
to 0.
- The test sends one packet with no payload.
- On RX (mlx5e_skb_from_cqe_mpwrq_nonlinear()), mlx5 configures the XDP
buffer with the packet data starting in the first fragment which is the
page mentioned above.
- The XDP program runs and calls bpf_xdp_pull_data() which moves the
header into the linear part of the XDP buffer. As the packet doesn't
contain more data, the program drops the tail fragment since it no
longer contains any payload (pp_ref_count=63).
- mlx5 device skips counting this fragment. Internal frag counter
remains 0.
- mlx5 releases all 64 fragments of the page but page pp_ref_count is
63 => negative reference counting error.
Resulting splat during the test:
