Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: prevent races in ->query_interfaces()
It was possible for two query interface works to be concurrently trying
to update the interfaces.
Prevent this by checking and updating iface_last_update under
iface_lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/kexec: add a sanity check on previous kernel's ima kexec buffer
When the second-stage kernel is booted via kexec with a limiting command
line such as "mem=<size>", the physical range that contains the carried
over IMA measurement list may fall outside the truncated RAM leading to a
kernel panic.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff97793ff47000
RIP: ima_restore_measurement_list+0xdc/0x45a
#PF: error_code(0x0000) – not-present page
Other architectures already validate the range with page_is_ram(), as done
in commit cbf9c4b9617b ("of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer
against memory bounds") do a similar check on x86.
Without carrying the measurement list across kexec, the attestation
would fail.

soc: ti: k3-socinfo: Fix regmap leak on probe failure
The mmio regmap allocated during probe is never freed.
Switch to using the device managed allocator so that the regmap is
released on probe failures (e.g. probe deferral) and on driver unbind.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: fix zero-frag skb in frag_list on partial sendmsg error
Syzkaller reported a warning in kcm_write_msgs() when processing a
message with a zero-fragment skb in the frag_list.
When kcm_sendmsg() fills MAX_SKB_FRAGS fragments in the current skb,
it allocates a new skb (tskb) and links it into the frag_list before
copying data. If the copy subsequently fails (e.g. -EFAULT from
user memory), tskb remains in the frag_list with zero fragments:
head skb (msg being assembled, NOT yet in sk_write_queue)
+-----------+
| frags[17] | (MAX_SKB_FRAGS, all filled with data)
| frag_list-+--> tskb
+-----------+ +----------+
| frags[0] | (empty! copy failed before filling)
+----------+
For SOCK_SEQPACKET with partial data already copied, the error path
saves this message via partial_message for later completion. For
SOCK_SEQPACKET, sock_write_iter() automatically sets MSG_EOR, so a
subsequent zero-length write(fd, NULL, 0) completes the message and
queues it to sk_write_queue. kcm_write_msgs() then walks the
frag_list and hits:
WARN_ON(!skb_shinfo(skb)->nr_frags)
TCP has a similar pattern where skbs are enqueued before data copy
and cleaned up on failure via tcp_remove_empty_skb(). KCM was
missing the equivalent cleanup.
Fix this by tracking the predecessor skb (frag_prev) when allocating
a new frag_list entry. On error, if the tail skb has zero frags,
use frag_prev to unlink and free it in O(1) without walking the
singly-linked frag_list. frag_prev is safe to dereference because
the entire message chain is only held locally (or in kcm->seq_skb)
and is not added to sk_write_queue until MSG_EOR, so the send path
cannot free it underneath us.
Also change the WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE to avoid flooding the log
if the condition is somehow hit repeatedly.
There are currently no KCM selftests in the kernel tree; a simple
reproducer is available at [1].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: ->d_compare() must not block
... so don't use __getname() there. Switch it (and ntfs_d_hash(), while
we are at it) to kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_NOWAIT). Yes, ntfs_d_hash()
almost certainly can do with smaller allocations, but let ntfs folks
deal with that - keep the allocation size as-is for now.
Stop abusing names_cachep in ntfs, period - various uses of that thing
in there have nothing to do with pathnames; just use k[mz]alloc() and
be done with that. For now let's keep sizes as-in, but AFAICS none of
the users actually want PATH_MAX.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: radio-keene: fix memory leak in error path
Fix a memory leak in usb_keene_probe(). The v4l2 control handler is
initialized and controls are added, but if v4l2_device_register() or
video_register_device() fails afterward, the handler was never freed,
leaking memory.
Add v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() call in the err_v4l2 error path to ensure
the control handler is properly freed for all error paths after it is
initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wan: farsync: Fix use-after-free bugs caused by unfinished tasklets
When the FarSync T-series card is being detached, the fst_card_info is
deallocated in fst_remove_one(). However, the fst_tx_task or fst_int_task
may still be running or pending, leading to use-after-free bugs when the
already freed fst_card_info is accessed in fst_process_tx_work_q() or
fst_process_int_work_q().
A typical race condition is depicted below:
CPU 0 (cleanup) | CPU 1 (tasklet)
| fst_start_xmit()
fst_remove_one() | tasklet_schedule()
unregister_hdlc_device()|
| fst_process_tx_work_q() //handler
kfree(card) //free | do_bottom_half_tx()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix OOB read in decode_choice()
In decode_choice(), the boundary check before get_len() uses the
variable `len`, which is still 0 from its initialization at the top of
the function:
unsigned int type, ext, len = 0;
...
if (ext || (son->attr & OPEN)) {
BYTE_ALIGN(bs);
if (nf_h323_error_boundary(bs, len, 0)) /* len is 0 here */
return H323_ERROR_BOUND;
len = get_len(bs); /* OOB read */
When the bitstream is exactly consumed (bs->cur == bs->end), the check
nf_h323_error_boundary(bs, 0, 0) evaluates to (bs->cur + 0 > bs->end),
which is false. The subsequent get_len() call then dereferences
*bs->cur++, reading 1 byte past the end of the buffer. If that byte
has bit 7 set, get_len() reads a second byte as well.
This can be triggered remotely by sending a crafted Q.931 SETUP message
with a User-User Information Element containing exactly 2 bytes of
PER-encoded data ({0x08, 0x00}) to port 1720 through a firewall with
the nf_conntrack_h323 helper active. The decoder fully consumes the
PER buffer before reaching this code path, resulting in a 1-2 byte
heap-buffer-overflow read confirmed by AddressSanitizer.
Fix this by checking for 2 bytes (the maximum that get_len() may read)
instead of the uninitialized `len`. This matches the pattern used at
every other get_len() call site in the same file, where the caller
checks for 2 bytes of available data before calling get_len().
