In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix memory leak in nfcmrvl_play_deferred
Similar to the handling of play_deferred in commit 19cfe912c37b
("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix memory leak in play_deferred"), we thought
a patch might be needed here as well.
Currently usb_submit_urb is called directly to submit deferred tx
urbs after unanchor them.
So the usb_giveback_urb_bh would failed to unref it in usb_unanchor_urb
and cause memory leak.
Put those urbs in tx_anchor to avoid the leak, and also fix the error
handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo()
In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of
ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer,
there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get
reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to
'&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: add reserved GDT blocks check
We capture a NULL pointer issue when resizing a corrupt ext4 image which
is freshly clear resize_inode feature (not run e2fsck). It could be
simply reproduced by following steps. The problem is because of the
resize_inode feature was cleared, and it will convert the filesystem to
meta_bg mode in ext4_resize_fs(), but the es->s_reserved_gdt_blocks was
not reduced to zero, so could we mistakenly call reserve_backup_gdb()
and passing an uninitialized resize_inode to it when adding new group
descriptors.
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda 3G
tune2fs -O ^resize_inode /dev/sda #forget to run requested e2fsck
mount /dev/sda /mnt
resize2fs /dev/sda 8G

The fix is simple, add a check in ext4_resize_begin() to make sure that
the es->s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero when the resize_inode feature is
disabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm mirror log: round up region bitmap size to BITS_PER_LONG
The code in dm-log rounds up bitset_size to 32 bits. It then uses
find_next_zero_bit_le on the allocated region. find_next_zero_bit_le
accesses the bitmap using unsigned long pointers. So, on 64-bit
architectures, it may access 4 bytes beyond the allocated size.
Fix this bug by rounding up bitset_size to BITS_PER_LONG.
This bug was found by running the lvm2 testsuite with kasan.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: lpc32xx_udc: Fix refcount leak in lpc32xx_udc_probe
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.
of_node_put() will check NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: add missing TID updates on slab deactivation
The fastpath in slab_alloc_node() assumes that c->slab is stable as long as
the TID stays the same. However, two places in __slab_alloc() currently
don't update the TID when deactivating the CPU slab.
If multiple operations race the right way, this could lead to an object
getting lost; or, in an even more unlikely situation, it could even lead to
an object being freed onto the wrong slab's freelist, messing up the
`inuse` counter and eventually causing a page to be freed to the page
allocator while it still contains slab objects.
(I haven't actually tested these cases though, this is just based on
looking at the code. Writing testcases for this stuff seems like it'd be
a pain...)
The race leading to state inconsistency is (all operations on the same CPU
and kmem_cache):
- task A: begin do_slab_free():
- read TID
- read pcpu freelist (==NULL)
- check `slab == c->slab` (true)
- [PREEMPT A->B]
- task B: begin slab_alloc_node():
- fastpath fails (`c->freelist` is NULL)
- enter __slab_alloc()
- slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption)
- enter ___slab_alloc()
- take local_lock_irqsave()
- read c->freelist as NULL
- get_freelist() returns NULL
- write `c->slab = NULL`
- drop local_unlock_irqrestore()
- goto new_slab
- slub_percpu_partial() is NULL
- get_partial() returns NULL
- slub_put_cpu_ptr() (enables preemption)
- [PREEMPT B->A]
- task A: finish do_slab_free():
- this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() succeeds()
- [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab==NULL, c->freelist!=NULL]
From there, the object on c->freelist will get lost if task B is allowed to
continue from here: It will proceed to the retry_load_slab label,
set c->slab, then jump to load_freelist, which clobbers c->freelist.
But if we instead continue as follows, we get worse corruption:
- task A: run __slab_free() on object from other struct slab:
- CPU_PARTIAL_FREE case (slab was on no list, is now on pcpu partial)
- task A: run slab_alloc_node() with NUMA node constraint:
- fastpath fails (c->slab is NULL)
- call __slab_alloc()
- slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption)
- enter ___slab_alloc()
- c->slab is NULL: goto new_slab
- slub_percpu_partial() is non-NULL
- set c->slab to slub_percpu_partial(c)
- [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab points to slab-1, c->freelist has objects
from slab-2]
- goto redo
- node_match() fails
- goto deactivate_slab
- existing c->freelist is passed into deactivate_slab()
- inuse count of slab-1 is decremented to account for object from
slab-2
At this point, the inuse count of slab-1 is 1 lower than it should be.
This means that if we free all allocated objects in slab-1 except for one,
SLUB will think that slab-1 is completely unused, and may free its page,
leading to use-after-free.

dm raid: fix KASAN warning in raid5_add_disks
There's a KASAN warning in raid5_add_disk when running the LVM testsuite.
The warning happens in the test
lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_raid6-single-type.sh. We fix the warning
by verifying that rdev->saved_raid_disk is within limits.
