Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cacheinfo: Fix shared_cpu_map to handle shared caches at different levels
The cacheinfo sets up the shared_cpu_map by checking whether the caches
with the same index are shared between CPUs. However, this will trigger
slab-out-of-bounds access if the CPUs do not have the same cache hierarchy.
Another problem is the mismatched shared_cpu_map when the shared cache does
not have the same index between CPUs.
CPU0 I D L3
index 0 1 2 x
^ ^ ^ ^
index 0 1 2 3
CPU1 I D L2 L3
This patch checks each cache is shared with all caches on other CPUs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: stratix10-svc: Fix a potential resource leak in svc_create_memory_pool()
svc_create_memory_pool() is only called from stratix10_svc_drv_probe().
Most of resources in the probe are managed, but not this memremap() call.
There is also no memunmap() call in the file.
So switch to devm_memremap() to avoid a resource leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Fix FFA device names for logical partitions
Each physical partition can provide multiple services each with UUID.
Each such service can be presented as logical partition with a unique
combination of VM ID and UUID. The number of distinct UUID in a system
will be less than or equal to the number of logical partitions.
However, currently it fails to register more than one logical partition
or service within a physical partition as the device name contains only
VM ID while both VM ID and UUID are maintained in the partition information.
The kernel complains with the below message:

| ARM FF-A: ffa_setup_partitions: failed to register partition ID 0x8001
By virtue of being random enough to avoid collisions when generated in a
distributed system, there is no way to compress UUID keys to the number
of bits required to identify each. We can eliminate '-' in the name but
it is not worth eliminating 4 bytes and add unnecessary logic for doing
that. Also v1.0 doesn't provide the UUID of the partitions which makes
it hard to use the same for the device name.
So to keep it simple, let us alloc an ID using ida_alloc() and append the
same to "arm-ffa" to make up a unique device name. Also stash the id value
in ffa_dev to help freeing the ID later when the device is destroyed.

drm/msm/mdp5: Add check for kzalloc
As kzalloc may fail and return NULL pointer,
it should be better to check the return value
in order to avoid the NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: check IFF_UP earlier in Tx path
Xsk Tx can be triggered via either sendmsg() or poll() syscalls. These
two paths share a call to common function xsk_xmit() which has two
sanity checks within. A pseudo code example to show the two paths:
__xsk_sendmsg() : xsk_poll():
if (unlikely(!xsk_is_bound(xs))) if (unlikely(!xsk_is_bound(xs)))
return -ENXIO; return mask;
if (unlikely(need_wait)) (...)
return -EOPNOTSUPP; xsk_xmit()
mark napi id
(...)
xsk_xmit()
xsk_xmit():
if (unlikely(!(xs->dev->flags & IFF_UP)))
return -ENETDOWN;
if (unlikely(!xs->tx))
return -ENOBUFS;
As it can be observed above, in sendmsg() napi id can be marked on
interface that was not brought up and this causes a NULL ptr
dereference:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: call op_release, even when op_func returns an error
For ops with "trivial" replies, nfsd4_encode_operation will shortcut
most of the encoding work and skip to just marshalling up the status.
One of the things it skips is calling op_release. This could cause a
memory leak in the layoutget codepath if there is an error at an
inopportune time.
Have the compound processing engine always call op_release, even when
op_func sets an error in op->status. With this change, we also need
nfsd4_block_get_device_info_scsi to set the gd_device pointer to NULL
on error to avoid a double free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/drivers/hisi: Drop second sensor hi3660
The commit 74c8e6bffbe1 ("driver core: Add __alloc_size hint to devm
allocators") exposes a panic "BRK handler: Fatal exception" on the
hi3660_thermal_probe funciton.
This is because the function allocates memory for only one
sensors array entry, but tries to fill up a second one.
Fix this by removing the unneeded second access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: add handling for RAID1C23/DUP to btrfs_reduce_alloc_profile
Callers of `btrfs_reduce_alloc_profile` expect it to return exactly
one allocation profile flag, and failing to do so may ultimately
result in a WARN_ON and remount-ro when allocating new blocks, like
the below transaction abort on 6.1.
`btrfs_reduce_alloc_profile` has two ways of determining the profile,
first it checks if a conversion balance is currently running and
uses the profile we're converting to. If no balance is currently
running, it returns the max-redundancy profile which at least one
block in the selected block group has.
This works by simply checking each known allocation profile bit in
redundancy order. However, `btrfs_reduce_alloc_profile` has not been
updated as new flags have been added - first with the `DUP` profile
and later with the RAID1C34 profiles.
Because of the way it checks, if we have blocks with different
profiles and at least one is known, that profile will be selected.
However, if none are known we may return a flag set with multiple
allocation profiles set.
This is currently only possible when a balance from one of the three
unhandled profiles to another of the unhandled profiles is canceled
after allocating at least one block using the new profile.
In that case, a transaction abort like the below will occur and the
filesystem will need to be mounted with -o skip_balance to get it
mounted rw again (but the balance cannot be resumed without a
similar abort).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pci: tw68: Fix null-ptr-deref bug in buf prepare and finish
When the driver calls tw68_risc_buffer() to prepare the buffer, the
function call dma_alloc_coherent may fail, resulting in a empty buffer
buf->cpu. Later when we free the buffer or access the buffer, null ptr
deref is triggered.
This bug is similar to the following one:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_stage.git/commit/?id=2b064d91440b33fba5b452f2d1b31f13ae911d71.
We believe the bug can be also dynamically triggered from user side.
Similarly, we fix this by checking the return value of tw68_risc_buffer()
and the value of buf->cpu before buffer free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: storvsc: Fix handling of virtual Fibre Channel timeouts
Hyper-V provides the ability to connect Fibre Channel LUNs to the host
system and present them in a guest VM as a SCSI device. I/O to the vFC
device is handled by the storvsc driver. The storvsc driver includes a
partial integration with the FC transport implemented in the generic
portion of the Linux SCSI subsystem so that FC attributes can be displayed
in /sys. However, the partial integration means that some aspects of vFC
don't work properly. Unfortunately, a full and correct integration isn't
practical because of limitations in what Hyper-V provides to the guest.
In particular, in the context of Hyper-V storvsc, the FC transport timeout
function fc_eh_timed_out() causes a kernel panic because it can't find the
rport and dereferences a NULL pointer. The original patch that added the
call from storvsc_eh_timed_out() to fc_eh_timed_out() is faulty in this
regard.
In many cases a timeout is due to a transient condition, so the situation
can be improved by just continuing to wait like with other I/O requests
issued by storvsc, and avoiding the guaranteed panic. For a permanent
failure, continuing to wait may result in a hung thread instead of a panic,
which again may be better.
So fix the panic by removing the storvsc call to fc_eh_timed_out(). This
allows storvsc to keep waiting for a response. The change has been tested
by users who experienced a panic in fc_eh_timed_out() due to transient
timeouts, and it solves their problem.
In the future we may want to deprecate the vFC functionality in storvsc
since it can't be fully fixed. But it has current users for whom it is
working well enough, so it should probably stay for a while longer.
