Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: unregister debugfs entries on teardown
ucsi_register() creates per-instance debugfs entries, but
ucsi_unregister() keeps them around until ucsi_destroy().
Drivers like ucsi_glink that unregister/register the same UCSI
instance across remoteproc restart then try to create an already
existing debugfs directory and log:
debugfs: 'pmic_glink.ucsi.0' already exists in 'ucsi'
Unregister debugfs entries as part of ucsi_unregister(), and
clear ucsi->debugfs after freeing it so repeated unregister
paths remain safe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Fix srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() unwind counters
When srpt_alloc_rw_ctxs() fails partway through a multi-buffer indirect
descriptor, the unwind path destroys RDMA contexts but leaves stale
n_rw_ctx and n_rdma values (and a dangling rw_ctxs pointer). Later
sq_wr_avail accounting in srpt_queue_response() or srpt_write_pending()
can then subtract the wrong number of send queue credits.
Reset the counters and clear rw_ctxs after freeing the heap
allocation before returning an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8723bs: fix xmit_frame/xmit_buf leaks on mgnt-frame error paths
issue_beacon(), issue_probersp() and issue_asocrsp() obtain a management
xmit_frame together with its xmit_buf from the driver's fixed-size
management-TX pools via alloc_mgtxmitframe(). On the normal path the frame
is handed to dump_mgntframe(), which transfers ownership and eventually
returns both objects to their pools (the frame and, for beacons, the buf
in rtl8723bs_mgnt_xmit(); other bufs via the pending-xmitbuf/TX-completion
path).
Several error/edge paths return early after a successful
alloc_mgtxmitframe() but before dump_mgntframe(), so ownership is never
transferred and neither object is freed:
- issue_beacon(): beacon larger than 512 bytes
- issue_probersp(): cur_network->ie_length > MAX_IE_SZ
- issue_probersp(): kzalloc() of the SSID scratch buffer fails
- issue_asocrsp(): pkt_type is neither ASSOCRSP nor REASSOCRSP
Because alloc_mgtxmitframe() removes the frame and buf from their free
lists (list_del_init) without placing them on any pending list, an
orphaned pair is on no list and referenced by nobody, so it is only
reclaimed at driver teardown. Repeated hits progressively exhaust the
management-TX pools until alloc_mgtxmitframe() returns NULL and the
interface can no longer send beacons or probe/assoc responses.
Free the frame and buffer on these paths, matching the existing correct
error handling in issue_assocreq().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Recover HW before retire hung submit
During recovery, it is not safe to retire the hung submit before we
recover the GPU. Retiring the submit triggers BO free and that can
result in GPU pagefaults since the GPU may be actively accessing those
BOs.
To fix this, retire the submits after gpu recovery is complete in
recover_worker().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mei: pass correct argument to function
The first argument to iwl_mei_write_cyclic_buf() should be the cldev
but the q_head pointer is passed instead. Fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-rdma: fix queue leak when connect backlog is exceeded
When pending disconnecting queues exceed the backlog limit, the
connect path only drops the device reference and leaks the newly
allocated queue and its IB resources.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: safely drain sessions during logoff
SMB3 multichannel allows requests for one session to run on multiple
connections. Wait for all channels bound to a session before freeing
shared session objects.
A deferred byte-range lock remains counted as a running request and only
wakes when its file closes. Wake blocked locks during the drain without
unpublishing or modifying their file objects. Synchronous CANCEL requests
must invoke their cancellation callback to wake pending operations, while
CHANGE_NOTIFY completion remains specific to the asynchronous path.
Serialize session teardown with channel registration and previous-session
cleanup, and use atomic work-state transitions so LOGOFF, CANCEL, and
connection teardown invoke cancellation callbacks only once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix race condition during device registration
In hci_register_dev(), the power_on work item is queued to
hdev->req_workqueue before initializing hdev->adv_monitors_idr and
registering the MSFT extension via msft_register(). For devices marked with
quirks such as HCI_QUIRK_RAW_DEVICE, the HCI_UNCONFIGURED flag is set on
the device. When the power_on work item runs concurrently on another CPU,
hci_power_on() detects that the device is unconfigured and immediately
invokes hci_dev_do_close(), which calls msft_do_close().
Concurrently, msft_register() allocates the msft structure and exposes it
to hdev->msft_data prior to calling mutex_init(&msft->filter_lock). If
msft_do_close() executes while hdev->msft_data is already assigned but the
mutex has not yet been initialized, mutex_lock(&msft->filter_lock) operates
on an uninitialized mutex, triggering a DEBUG_LOCKS warning:
DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock)

Fix this by moving the queue_work() call in hci_register_dev() to after
idr_init(&hdev->adv_monitors_idr) and msft_register(hdev) so that device
structures and extensions are fully initialized before asynchronous tasks
can access them. Additionally, assign hdev->msft_data in msft_register()
only after mutex_init(&msft->filter_lock) has completed.
