Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: pca9450: Use devm_register_sys_off_handler
With module test, there is error dump:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: Decrement TID on RX peer frag setup error handling
Currently, TID is not decremented before peer cleanup, during error
handling path of ath12k_dp_rx_peer_frag_setup(). This could lead to
out-of-bounds access in peer->rx_tid[].
Hence, add a decrement operation for TID, before peer cleanup to
ensures proper cleanup and prevents out-of-bounds access issues when
the RX peer frag setup fails.
Found during code review. Compile tested only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: APEI: send SIGBUS to current task if synchronous memory error not recovered
If a synchronous error is detected as a result of user-space process
triggering a 2-bit uncorrected error, the CPU will take a synchronous
error exception such as Synchronous External Abort (SEA) on Arm64. The
kernel will queue a memory_failure() work which poisons the related
page, unmaps the page, and then sends a SIGBUS to the process, so that
a system wide panic can be avoided.
However, no memory_failure() work will be queued when abnormal
synchronous errors occur. These errors can include situations like
invalid PA, unexpected severity, no memory failure config support,
invalid GUID section, etc. In such a case, the user-space process will
trigger SEA again. This loop can potentially exceed the platform
firmware threshold or even trigger a kernel hard lockup, leading to a
system reboot.
Fix it by performing a force kill if no memory_failure() work is queued
for synchronous errors.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ctnetlink: remove refcounting in expectation dumpers
Same pattern as previous patch: do not keep the expectation object
alive via refcount, only store a cookie value and then use that
as the skip hint for dump resumption.
AFAICS this has the same issue as the one resolved in the conntrack
dumper, when we do
if (!refcount_inc_not_zero(&exp->use))
to increment the refcount, there is a chance that exp == last, which
causes a double-increment of the refcount and subsequent memory leak.

ALSA: timer: fix ida_free call while not allocated
In the snd_utimer_create() function, if the kasprintf() function return
NULL, snd_utimer_put_id() will be called, finally use ida_free()
to free the unallocated id 0.
the syzkaller reported the following information:

ida_free called for id=0 which is not allocated.

mm/smaps: fix race between smaps_hugetlb_range and migration
smaps_hugetlb_range() handles the pte without holdling ptl, and may be

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Fix the sendmsg byte count in siw_tcp_sendpages
Ever since commit c2ff29e99a76 ("siw: Inline do_tcp_sendpages()"),
we have been doing this:
static int siw_tcp_sendpages(struct socket *s, struct page **page, int offset,
size_t size)
[...]
/* Calculate the number of bytes we need to push, for this page
* specifically */
size_t bytes = min_t(size_t, PAGE_SIZE - offset, size);
/* If we can't splice it, then copy it in, as normal */
if (!sendpage_ok(page[i]))
msg.msg_flags &= ~MSG_SPLICE_PAGES;
/* Set the bvec pointing to the page, with len $bytes */
bvec_set_page(&bvec, page[i], bytes, offset);
/* Set the iter to $size, aka the size of the whole sendpages (!!!) */
iov_iter_bvec(&msg.msg_iter, ITER_SOURCE, &bvec, 1, size);
try_page_again:
lock_sock(sk);
/* Sendmsg with $size size (!!!) */
rv = tcp_sendmsg_locked(sk, &msg, size);
This means we've been sending oversized iov_iters and tcp_sendmsg calls
for a while. This has a been a benign bug because sendpage_ok() always
returned true. With the recent slab allocator changes being slowly
introduced into next (that disallow sendpage on large kmalloc
allocations), we have recently hit out-of-bounds crashes, due to slight
differences in iov_iter behavior between the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES and
"regular" copy paths:
(MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)
skb_splice_from_iter
iov_iter_extract_pages
iov_iter_extract_bvec_pages
uses i->nr_segs to correctly stop in its tracks before OoB'ing everywhere
skb_splice_from_iter gets a "short" read
(!MSG_SPLICE_PAGES)
skb_copy_to_page_nocache copy=iov_iter_count
[...]
copy_from_iter
/* this doesn't help */
if (unlikely(iter->count < len))
len = iter->count;
iterate_bvec
... and we run off the bvecs
Fix this by properly setting the iov_iter's byte count, plus sending the
correct byte count to tcp_sendmsg_locked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Add error handling for krealloc in metadata setup
Function msm_ioctl_gem_info_set_metadata() now checks for krealloc
failure and returns -ENOMEM, avoiding potential NULL pointer dereference.
Explicitly avoids __GFP_NOFAIL due to deadlock risks and allocation constraints.
