scsi: target: core: Fix null-ptr-deref in target_alloc_device()
There is a null-ptr-deref issue reported by KASAN:

In target_alloc_device(), if allocing memory for dev queues fails, then
dev will be freed by dev->transport->free_device(), but dev->transport
is not initialized at that time, which will lead to a null pointer
reference problem.
Fixing this bug by freeing dev with hba->backend->ops->free_device().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp/dccp: Don't use timer_pending() in reqsk_queue_unlink().
Martin KaFai Lau reported use-after-free [0] in reqsk_timer_handler().
"""
We are seeing a use-after-free from a bpf prog attached to
trace_tcp_retransmit_synack. The program passes the req->sk to the
bpf_sk_storage_get_tracing kernel helper which does check for null
before using it.
"""
The commit 83fccfc3940c ("inet: fix potential deadlock in
reqsk_queue_unlink()") added timer_pending() in reqsk_queue_unlink() not
to call del_timer_sync() from reqsk_timer_handler(), but it introduced a
small race window.
Before the timer is called, expire_timers() calls detach_timer(timer, true)
to clear timer->entry.pprev and marks it as not pending.
If reqsk_queue_unlink() checks timer_pending() just after expire_timers()
calls detach_timer(), TCP will miss del_timer_sync(); the reqsk timer will
continue running and send multiple SYN+ACKs until it expires.
The reported UAF could happen if req->sk is close()d earlier than the timer
expiration, which is 63s by default.
The scenario would be
1. inet_csk_complete_hashdance() calls inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop(),
but del_timer_sync() is missed
2. reqsk timer is executed and scheduled again
3. req->sk is accept()ed and reqsk_put() decrements rsk_refcnt, but
reqsk timer still has another one, and inet_csk_accept() does not
clear req->sk for non-TFO sockets
4. sk is close()d
5. reqsk timer is executed again, and BPF touches req->sk
Let's not use timer_pending() by passing the caller context to
__inet_csk_reqsk_queue_drop().
Note that reqsk timer is pinned, so the issue does not happen in most
use cases. [1]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/core: Disable page allocation in task_tick_mm_cid()
With KASAN and PREEMPT_RT enabled, calling task_work_add() in
task_tick_mm_cid() may cause the following splat.
[ 63.696416] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
[ 63.696416] in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 1, non_block: 0, pid: 610, name: modprobe
[ 63.696416] preempt_count: 10001, expected: 0
[ 63.696416] RCU nest depth: 1, expected: 1
This problem is caused by the following call trace.
sched_tick() [ acquire rq->__lock ]
-> task_tick_mm_cid()
-> task_work_add()
-> __kasan_record_aux_stack()
-> kasan_save_stack()
-> stack_depot_save_flags()
-> alloc_pages_mpol_noprof()
-> __alloc_pages_noprof()
-> get_page_from_freelist()
-> rmqueue()
-> rmqueue_pcplist()
-> __rmqueue_pcplist()
-> rmqueue_bulk()
-> rt_spin_lock()
The rq lock is a raw_spinlock_t. We can't sleep while holding
it. IOW, we can't call alloc_pages() in stack_depot_save_flags().
The task_tick_mm_cid() function with its task_work_add() call was
introduced by commit 223baf9d17f2 ("sched: Fix performance regression
introduced by mm_cid") in v6.4 kernel.
Fortunately, there is a kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() variant that
calls stack_depot_save_flags() while not allowing it to allocate
new pages. To allow task_tick_mm_cid() to use task_work without
page allocation, a new TWAF_NO_ALLOC flag is added to enable calling
kasan_record_aux_stack_noalloc() instead of kasan_record_aux_stack()
if set. The task_tick_mm_cid() function is modified to add this new flag.
The possible downside is the missing stack trace in a KASAN report due
to new page allocation required when task_work_add_noallloc() is called
which should be rare.

A flaw was found in hibernate-validator's 'isValid' method in the org.hibernate.validator.internal.constraintvalidators.hv.SafeHtmlValidator class, which can be bypassed by omitting the tag ending in a less-than character. Browsers may render an invalid html, allowing HTML injection or Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) attacks.

Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling vulnerability in Apache Tomcat.
This issue affects Apache Tomcat: from 11.0.0-M1 through 11.0.0-M20, from 10.1.0-M1 through 10.1.24, from 9.0.13 through 9.0.89.
The following versions were EOL at the time the CVE was created but are
known to be affected: 8.5.35 through 8.5.100 and 7.0.92 through 7.0.109. Other EOL versions may also be affected.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 11.0.0-M21, 10.1.25, or 9.0.90, which fixes the issue.
Apache Tomcat, under certain configurations on any platform, allows an attacker to cause an OutOfMemoryError by abusing the TLS handshake process.
