Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
[ Analysis ]
We believe that we have found a concurrency bug in the `fs/jfs` module
that results in a null pointer dereference. There is a closely related
issue which has been fixed:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d6c1b3599b2feb5c7291f5ac3a36e5fa7cedb234
... but, unfortunately, the accepted patch appears to still be
susceptible to a null pointer dereference under some interleavings.
To trigger the bug, we think that `JFS_SBI(ipbmap->i_sb)->bmap` is set
to NULL in `dbFreeBits` and then dereferenced in `jfs_ioc_trim`. This
bug manifests quite rarely under normal circumstances, but is
triggereable from a syz-program.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds read in add_missing_indices
stbl is s8 but it must contain offsets into slot which can go from 0 to
127.
Added a bound check for that error and return -EIO if the check fails.
Also make jfs_readdir return with error if add_missing_indices returns
with an error.

exfat: fix double free in delayed_free
The double free could happen in the following path.
exfat_create_upcase_table()
exfat_create_upcase_table() : return error
exfat_free_upcase_table() : free ->vol_utbl
exfat_load_default_upcase_table : return error
exfat_kill_sb()
delayed_free()
exfat_free_upcase_table() <--------- double free
This patch set ->vol_util as NULL after freeing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: fix uprobe pte be overwritten when expanding vma
Patch series "Fix uprobe pte be overwritten when expanding vma".
This patch (of 4):
We encountered a BUG alert triggered by Syzkaller as follows:
BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:00000000b4a60fca type:MM_ANONPAGES val:1
And we can reproduce it with the following steps:
1. register uprobe on file at zero offset
2. mmap the file at zero offset:
addr1 = mmap(NULL, 2 * 4096, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
3. mremap part of vma1 to new vma2:
addr2 = mremap(addr1, 4096, 2 * 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE);
4. mremap back to orig addr1:
mremap(addr2, 4096, 4096, MREMAP_MAYMOVE | MREMAP_FIXED, addr1);
In step 3, the vma1 range [addr1, addr1 + 4096] will be remap to new vma2
with range [addr2, addr2 + 8192], and remap uprobe anon page from the vma1
to vma2, then unmap the vma1 range [addr1, addr1 + 4096].
In step 4, the vma2 range [addr2, addr2 + 4096] will be remap back to the
addr range [addr1, addr1 + 4096]. Since the addr range [addr1 + 4096,
addr1 + 8192] still maps the file, it will take vma_merge_new_range to
expand the range, and then do uprobe_mmap in vma_complete. Since the
merged vma pgoff is also zero offset, it will install uprobe anon page to
the merged vma. However, the upcomming move_page_tables step, which use
set_pte_at to remap the vma2 uprobe pte to the merged vma, will overwrite
the newly uprobe pte in the merged vma, and lead that pte to be orphan.
Since the uprobe pte will be remapped to the merged vma, we can remove the
unnecessary uprobe_mmap upon merged vma.
This problem was first found in linux-6.6.y and also exists in the
community syzkaller:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: add NULL check in automount_fullpath
page is checked for null in __build_path_from_dentry_optional_prefix
when tcon->origin_fullpath is not set. However, the check is missing when
it is set.
Add a check to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: Make sure modelist not set on unregistered console
It looks like attempting to write to the "store_modes" sysfs node will
run afoul of unregistered consoles:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:122:28
index -1 is out of range for type 'fb_info *[32]'
...
fbcon_info_from_console+0x192/0x1a0 drivers/video/fbdev/core/fbcon.c:122

dev_attr_store+0x55/0x80 drivers/base/core.c:2439
static struct fb_info *fbcon_registered_fb[FB_MAX];
...
static signed char con2fb_map[MAX_NR_CONSOLES];
...
static struct fb_info *fbcon_info_from_console(int console)
...
return fbcon_registered_fb[con2fb_map[console]];
If con2fb_map contains a -1 things go wrong here. Instead, return NULL,
as callers of fbcon_info_from_console() are trying to compare against
existing "info" pointers, so error handling should kick in correctly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: fix MMIO write access to an invalid page in i40e_clear_hw
When the device sends a specific input, an integer underflow can occur, leading
to MMIO write access to an invalid page.
Prevent the integer underflow by changing the type of related variables.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: Revert atm_account_tx() if copy_from_iter_full() fails.
In vcc_sendmsg(), we account skb->truesize to sk->sk_wmem_alloc by
atm_account_tx().
It is expected to be reverted by atm_pop_raw() later called by
vcc->dev->ops->send(vcc, skb).
However, vcc_sendmsg() misses the same revert when copy_from_iter_full()
fails, and then we will leak a socket.
Let's factorise the revert part as atm_return_tx() and call it in
the failure path.
Note that the corresponding sk_wmem_alloc operation can be found in
alloc_tx() as of the blamed commit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in destroy_previous_session
If client set ->PreviousSessionId on kerberos session setup stage,
NULL pointer dereference error will happen. Since sess->user is not
set yet, It can pass the user argument as NULL to destroy_previous_session.
sess->user will be set in ksmbd_krb5_authenticate(). So this patch move
calling destroy_previous_session() after ksmbd_krb5_authenticate().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: clear the dst when changing skb protocol
A not-so-careful NAT46 BPF program can crash the kernel
if it indiscriminately flips ingress packets from v4 to v6:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
ip6_rcv_core (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:190:20)

udp_send_skb (net/ipv4/udp.c:1040:8)
udp_sendmsg (net/ipv4/udp.c:1328:10)
The output interface has a 4->6 program attached at ingress.
We try to loop the multicast skb back to the sending socket.
Ingress BPF runs as part of netif_rx(), pushes a valid v6 hdr
and changes skb->protocol to v6. We enter ip6_rcv_core which
tries to use skb_dst(). But the dst is still an IPv4 one left
after IPv4 mcast output.
Clear the dst in all BPF helpers which change the protocol.
Try to preserve metadata dsts, those may carry non-routing
metadata.
