In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix race between cache write completion and ALL_QUEUED being set
When netfslib is issuing subrequests, the subrequests start processing
immediately and may complete before we reach the end of the issuing
function. At the end of the issuing function we set NETFS_RREQ_ALL_QUEUED
to indicate to the collector that we aren't going to issue any more subreqs
and that it can do the final notifications and cleanup.
Now, this isn't a problem if the request is synchronous
(NETFS_RREQ_OFFLOAD_COLLECTION is unset) as the result collection will be
done in-thread and we're guaranteed an opportunity to run the collector.
However, if the request is asynchronous, collection is primarily triggered
by the termination of subrequests queuing it on a workqueue. Now, a race
can occur here if the app thread sets ALL_QUEUED after the last subrequest
terminates.
This can happen most easily with the copy2cache code (as used by Ceph)
where, in the collection routine of a read request, an asynchronous write
request is spawned to copy data to the cache. Folios are added to the
write request as they're unlocked, but there may be a delay before
ALL_QUEUED is set as the write subrequests may complete before we get
there.
If all the write subreqs have finished by the ALL_QUEUED point, no further
events happen and the collection never happens, leaving the request
hanging.
Fix this by queuing the collector after setting ALL_QUEUED. This is a bit
heavy-handed and it may be sufficient to do it only if there are no extant
subreqs.
Also add a tracepoint to cross-reference both requests in a copy-to-request
operation and add a trace to the netfs_rreq tracepoint to indicate the
setting of ALL_QUEUED.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/osnoise: Fix crash in timerlat_dump_stack()
We have observed kernel panics when using timerlat with stack saving,
with the following dmesg output:

__timerlat_dump_stack() constructs the ftrace stack entry like this:
struct stack_entry *entry;
...
memcpy(&entry->caller, fstack->calls, size);
entry->size = fstack->nr_entries;
Since commit e7186af7fb26 ("tracing: Add back FORTIFY_SOURCE logic to
kernel_stack event structure"), struct stack_entry marks its caller
field with __counted_by(size). At the time of the memcpy, entry->size
contains garbage from the ringbuffer, which under some circumstances is
zero, triggering a kernel panic by buffer overflow.
Populate the size field before the memcpy so that the out-of-bounds
check knows the correct size. This is analogous to
__ftrace_trace_stack().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: backend: fix out-of-bound write
The buffer is set to 80 character. If a caller write more characters,
count is truncated to the max available space in "simple_write_to_buffer".
But afterwards a string terminator is written to the buffer at offset count
without boundary check. The zero termination is written OUT-OF-BOUND.
Add a check that the given buffer is smaller then the buffer to prevent.

Dan has also reported following issues with the original patch
https://lore.kernel.org/all/33fe8fe7-719a-405a-9ed2-d9f816ce1d57@sabinyo.mountain/
Bug #1:
The zeroeth element of ctrl->pconfig[] is supposed to be unused. We
start counting at 1. However this code sets ctrl->pconfig[0].ch_mask = 128.
Bug #2:
There are SLIM_MAX_TX_PORTS (16) elements in tx_ch[] array but only
QCOM_SDW_MAX_PORTS + 1 (15) in the ctrl->pconfig[] array so it corrupts
memory like Yongqin Liu pointed out.
Bug 3:
Like Jie Gan pointed out, it erases all the tx information with the rx
information.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/bpf: Fix bpf_arch_text_poke() with new_addr == NULL again
Commit 7ded842b356d ("s390/bpf: Fix bpf_plt pointer arithmetic") has
accidentally removed the critical piece of commit c730fce7c70c
("s390/bpf: Fix bpf_arch_text_poke() with new_addr == NULL"), causing
intermittent kernel panics in e.g. perf's on_switch() prog to reappear.
Restore the fix and add a comment.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smc: Fix various oops due to inet_sock type confusion.
syzbot reported weird splats [0][1] in cipso_v4_sock_setattr() while
freeing inet_sk(sk)->inet_opt.
The address was freed multiple times even though it was read-only memory.
cipso_v4_sock_setattr() did nothing wrong, and the root cause was type
confusion.
The cited commit made it possible to create smc_sock as an INET socket.
The issue is that struct smc_sock does not have struct inet_sock as the
first member but hijacks AF_INET and AF_INET6 sk_family, which confuses
various places.
In this case, inet_sock.inet_opt was actually smc_sock.clcsk_data_ready(),
which is an address of a function in the text segment.
$ pahole -C inet_sock vmlinux
struct inet_sock {
...
struct ip_options_rcu * inet_opt; /* 784 8 */
$ pahole -C smc_sock vmlinux
struct smc_sock {
...
void (*clcsk_data_ready)(struct sock *); /* 784 8 */
The same issue for another field was reported before. [2][3]
At that time, an ugly hack was suggested [4], but it makes both INET
and SMC code error-prone and hard to change.
Also, yet another variant was fixed by a hacky commit 98d4435efcbf3
("net/smc: prevent NULL pointer dereference in txopt_get").
Instead of papering over the root cause by such hacks, we should not
allow non-INET socket to reuse the INET infra.
Let's add inet_sock as the first member of smc_sock.

KVM: x86/xen: Fix cleanup logic in emulation of Xen schedop poll hypercalls
kvm_xen_schedop_poll does a kmalloc_array() when a VM polls the host
for more than one event channel potr (nr_ports > 1).
After the kmalloc_array(), the error paths need to go through the
"out" label, but the call to kvm_read_guest_virt() does not.
[Adjusted commit message. - Paolo]
A vulnerability was found in code-projects Exam Form Submission 1.0. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the file /admin/update_fst.php. The manipulation of the argument credits leads to sql injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
