Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: rs9: Reserve 8 struct clk_hw slots for for 9FGV0841
The 9FGV0841 has 8 outputs and registers 8 struct clk_hw, make sure
there are 8 slots for those newly registered clk_hw pointers, else
there is going to be out of bounds write when pointers 4..7 are set
into struct rs9_driver_data .clk_dif[4..7] field.
Since there are other structure members past this struct clk_hw
pointer array, writing to .clk_dif[4..7] fields corrupts both
the struct rs9_driver_data content and data around it, sometimes
without crashing the kernel. However, the kernel does surely
crash when the driver is unbound or during suspend.
Fix this, increase the struct clk_hw pointer array size to the
maximum output count of 9FGV0841, which is the biggest chip that
is supported by this driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Skip dev-iotlb flush for inaccessible PCIe device without scalable mode
PCIe endpoints with ATS enabled and passed through to userspace
(e.g., QEMU, DPDK) can hard-lock the host when their link drops,
either by surprise removal or by a link fault.
Commit 4fc82cd907ac ("iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation
request when device is disconnected") adds pci_dev_is_disconnected()
to devtlb_invalidation_with_pasid() so ATS invalidation is skipped
only when the device is being safely removed, but it applies only
when Intel IOMMU scalable mode is enabled.
With scalable mode disabled or unsupported, a system hard-lock
occurs when a PCIe endpoint's link drops because the Intel IOMMU
waits indefinitely for an ATS invalidation that cannot complete.

Commit 81e921fd3216 ("iommu/vt-d: Fix NULL domain on device release")
adds intel_pasid_teardown_sm_context() to intel_iommu_release_device(),
which calls qi_flush_dev_iotlb() and can also hard-lock the system
when a PCIe endpoint's link drops.

Sometimes the endpoint loses connection without a link-down event
(e.g., due to a link fault); killing the process (virsh destroy)
then hard-locks the host.

pci_dev_is_disconnected() only covers safe-removal paths;
pci_device_is_present() tests accessibility by reading
vendor/device IDs and internally calls pci_dev_is_disconnected().
On a ConnectX-5 (8 GT/s, x2) this costs ~70 µs.
Since __context_flush_dev_iotlb() is only called on
{attach,release}_dev paths (not hot), add pci_device_is_present()
there to skip inaccessible devices and avoid the hard-lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: tegra-video: Fix memory leak in __tegra_channel_try_format()
The state object allocated by __v4l2_subdev_state_alloc() must be freed
with __v4l2_subdev_state_free() when it is no longer needed.
In __tegra_channel_try_format(), two error paths return directly after
v4l2_subdev_call() fails, without freeing the allocated 'sd_state'
object. This violates the requirement and causes a memory leak.
Fix this by introducing a cleanup label and using goto statements in the
error paths to ensure that __v4l2_subdev_state_free() is always called
before the function returns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/bitmap: fix GPF in write_page caused by resize race
A General Protection Fault occurs in write_page() during array resize:
RIP: 0010:write_page+0x22b/0x3c0 [md_mod]
This is a use-after-free race between bitmap_daemon_work() and
__bitmap_resize(). The daemon iterates over `bitmap->storage.filemap`
without locking, while the resize path frees that storage via
md_bitmap_file_unmap(). `quiesce()` does not stop the md thread,
allowing concurrent access to freed pages.
Fix by holding `mddev->bitmap_info.mutex` during the bitmap update.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (nct7363) Fix a resource leak in nct7363_present_pwm_fanin
When calling of_parse_phandle_with_args(), the caller is responsible
to call of_node_put() to release the reference of device node.
In nct7363_present_pwm_fanin, it does not release the reference,
causing a resource leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix interlaced plain identification for encoded extents
Only plain data whose start position and on-disk physical length are
both aligned to the block size should be classified as interlaced
plain extents. Otherwise, it must be treated as shifted plain extents.
This issue was found by syzbot using a crafted compressed image
containing plain extents with unaligned physical lengths, which can
cause OOB read in z_erofs_transform_plain().

This is because commit d77e38e612a0 ("xfrm: Add an IPsec hardware
offloading API") implemented xfrm_dev_unregister() as no-op despite
xfrm_dev_state_add() from xfrm_state_construct() acquires a reference
to "struct net_device".
I guess that that commit expected that NETDEV_DOWN event is fired before
NETDEV_UNREGISTER event fires, and also assumed that xfrm_dev_state_add()
is called only if (dev->features & NETIF_F_HW_ESP) != 0.
Sabrina Dubroca identified steps to reproduce the same symptoms as below.
echo 0 > /sys/bus/netdevsim/new_device
dev=$(ls -1 /sys/bus/netdevsim/devices/netdevsim0/net/)
ip xfrm state add src 192.168.13.1 dst 192.168.13.2 proto esp \
spi 0x1000 mode tunnel aead 'rfc4106(gcm(aes))' $key 128 \
offload crypto dev $dev dir out
ethtool -K $dev esp-hw-offload off
echo 0 > /sys/bus/netdevsim/del_device
Like these steps indicate, the NETIF_F_HW_ESP bit can be cleared after
xfrm_dev_state_add() acquired a reference to "struct net_device".
Also, xfrm_dev_state_add() does not check for the NETIF_F_HW_ESP bit
when acquiring a reference to "struct net_device".
Commit 03891f820c21 ("xfrm: handle NETDEV_UNREGISTER for xfrm device")
re-introduced the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event to xfrm_dev_event(), but that
commit for unknown reason chose to share xfrm_dev_down() between the
NETDEV_DOWN event and the NETDEV_UNREGISTER event.
I guess that that commit missed the behavior in the previous paragraph.
Therefore, we need to re-introduce xfrm_dev_unregister() in order to
release the reference to "struct net_device" by unconditionally flushing
state and policy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: remove xfs_attr_leaf_hasname
The calling convention of xfs_attr_leaf_hasname() is problematic, because
it returns a NULL buffer when xfs_attr3_leaf_read fails, a valid buffer
when xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int returns -ENOATTR or -EEXIST, and a
non-NULL buffer pointer for an already released buffer when
xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int fails with other error values.
Fix this by simply open coding xfs_attr_leaf_hasname in the callers, so
that the buffer release code is done by each caller of
xfs_attr3_leaf_read.
