nbd_genl_connect() does not properly stop the device on certain
error paths after nbd_start_device() has been called. This causes
the error path to put nbd->config while recv_work continue to use
the config after putting it, leading to use-after-free in recv_work.
This patch moves nbd_start_device() after the backend file creation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
raid10: cleanup memleak at raid10_make_request

request and the REQ_NOWAIT flag is set, the code does not
free the malloc from the mempool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid1: Fix stack memory use after return in raid1_reshape
In the raid1_reshape function, newpool is
allocated on the stack and assigned to conf->r1bio_pool.
This results in conf->r1bio_pool.wait.head pointing
to a stack address.
Accessing this address later can lead to a kernel panic.
Example access path:
raid1_reshape()
{
// newpool is on the stack
mempool_t newpool, oldpool;
// initialize newpool.wait.head to stack address
mempool_init(&newpool, ...);
conf->r1bio_pool = newpool;
}
raid1_read_request() or raid1_write_request()
{
alloc_r1bio()
{
mempool_alloc()
{
// if pool->alloc fails
remove_element()
{
--pool->curr_nr;
}
}
}
}
mempool_free()
{
if (pool->curr_nr < pool->min_nr) {
// pool->wait.head is a stack address
// wake_up() will try to access this invalid address
// which leads to a kernel panic
return;
wake_up(&pool->wait);
}
}
Fix:
reinit conf->r1bio_pool.wait after assigning newpool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/scheduler: signal scheduled fence when kill job
When an entity from application B is killed, drm_sched_entity_kill()
removes all jobs belonging to that entity through
drm_sched_entity_kill_jobs_work(). If application A's job depends on a
scheduled fence from application B's job, and that fence is not properly
signaled during the killing process, application A's dependency cannot be
cleared.
This leads to application A hanging indefinitely while waiting for a
dependency that will never be resolved. Fix this issue by ensuring that
scheduled fences are properly signaled when an entity is killed, allowing
dependent applications to continue execution.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: lan743x: Modify the EEPROM and OTP size for PCI1xxxx devices
Maximum OTP and EEPROM size for hearthstone PCI1xxxx devices are 8 Kb
and 64 Kb respectively. Adjust max size definitions and return correct
EEPROM length based on device. Also prevent out-of-bound read/write.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix sample vs do_exit()
Baisheng Gao reported an ARM64 crash, which Mark decoded as being a
synchronous external abort -- most likely due to trying to access
MMIO in bad ways.
The crash further shows perf trying to do a user stack sample while in
exit_mmap()'s tlb_finish_mmu() -- i.e. while tearing down the address
space it is trying to access.
It turns out that we stop perf after we tear down the userspace mm; a
receipie for disaster, since perf likes to access userspace for
various reasons.
Flip this order by moving up where we stop perf in do_exit().
Additionally, harden PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER
to abort when the current task does not have an mm (exit_mm() makes
sure to set current->mm = NULL; before commencing with the actual
teardown). Such that CPU wide events don't trip on this same problem.

i2c: tegra: check msg length in SMBUS block read
For SMBUS block read, do not continue to read if the message length
passed from the device is '0' or greater than the maximum allowed bytes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Add basic validation for RAS header
If RAS header read from EEPROM is corrupted, it could result in trying
to allocate huge memory for reading the records. Add some validation to
header fields.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: ims-pcu - check record size in ims_pcu_flash_firmware()
The "len" variable comes from the firmware and we generally do
trust firmware, but it's always better to double check. If the "len"
is too large it could result in memory corruption when we do
"memcpy(fragment->data, rec->data, len);"

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: mhi: ep: Update read pointer only after buffer is written
Inside mhi_ep_ring_add_element, the read pointer (rd_offset) is updated
before the buffer is written, potentially causing race conditions where
the host sees an updated read pointer before the buffer is actually
written. Updating rd_offset prematurely can lead to the host accessing
an uninitialized or incomplete element, resulting in data corruption.
Invoke the buffer write before updating rd_offset to ensure the element
is fully written before signaling its availability.
