In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix data races in unix_release_sock/unix_stream_sendmsg
A data-race condition has been identified in af_unix. In one data path,
the write function unix_release_sock() atomically writes to
sk->sk_shutdown using WRITE_ONCE. However, on the reader side,
unix_stream_sendmsg() does not read it atomically. Consequently, this
issue is causing the following KCSAN splat to occur:

The line numbers are related to commit dd5a440a31fa ("Linux 6.9-rc7").
Commit e1d09c2c2f57 ("af_unix: Fix data races around sk->sk_shutdown.")
addressed a comparable issue in the past regarding sk->sk_shutdown.
However, it overlooked resolving this particular data path.
This patch only offending unix_stream_sendmsg() function, since the
other reads seem to be protected by unix_state_lock() as discussed in

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: prevent xattr node from overflowing the eraseblock
Add a check to make sure that the requested xattr node size is no larger
than the eraseblock minus the cleanmarker.
Unlike the usual inode nodes, the xattr nodes aren't split into parts
and spread across multiple eraseblocks, which means that a xattr node
must not occupy more than one eraseblock. If the requested xattr value is
too large, the xattr node can spill onto the next eraseblock, overwriting
the nodes and causing errors such as:
jffs2: argh. node added in wrong place at 0x0000b050(2)
jffs2: nextblock 0x0000a000, expected at 0000b00c
jffs2: error: (823) do_verify_xattr_datum: node CRC failed at 0x01e050,

jffs2: Node at 0x0000000c with length 0x00001044 would run over the
end of the erase block
jffs2: Perhaps the file system was created with the wrong erase size?
jffs2: jffs2_scan_eraseblock(): Magic bitmask 0x1985 not found
at 0x00000010: 0x1044 instead
This breaks the filesystem and can lead to KASAN crashes such as:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: Fix deadlocks with kctl removals at disconnection
In snd_card_disconnect(), we set card->shutdown flag at the beginning,
call callbacks and do sync for card->power_ref_sleep waiters at the
end. The callback may delete a kctl element, and this can lead to a
deadlock when the device was in the suspended state. Namely:
* A process waits for the power up at snd_power_ref_and_wait() in
snd_ctl_info() or read/write() inside card->controls_rwsem.
* The system gets disconnected meanwhile, and the driver tries to
delete a kctl via snd_ctl_remove*(); it tries to take
card->controls_rwsem again, but this is already locked by the
above. Since the sleeper isn't woken up, this deadlocks.
An easy fix is to wake up sleepers before processing the driver
disconnect callbacks but right after setting the card->shutdown flag.
Then all sleepers will abort immediately, and the code flows again.
So, basically this patch moves the wait_event() call at the right
timing. While we're at it, just to be sure, call wait_event_all()
instead of wait_event(), although we don't use exclusive events on
this queue for now.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer()
Syzbot has reported a potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() called
during nilfs2 unmount.
Analysis revealed that this is because nilfs_segctor_sync(), which
synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after
nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace
below:
nilfs_detach_log_writer
nilfs_segctor_destroy
nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Shut down log writer thread
flush_work
nilfs_iput_work_func
nilfs_dispose_list
iput
nilfs_evict_inode
nilfs_transaction_commit
nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync)
nilfs_segctor_sync --> Attempt to synchronize with
log writer thread
*** DEADLOCK ***
Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log writer
thread returns normally without synchronizing after it terminates, and by
forcing tasks that are already waiting to complete once after the thread
terminates.
The skipped inode metadata flushout will then be processed together in the
subsequent cleanup work in nilfs_segctor_destroy().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ecryptfs: Fix buffer size for tag 66 packet
The 'TAG 66 Packet Format' description is missing the cipher code and
checksum fields that are packed into the message packet. As a result,
the buffer allocated for the packet is 3 bytes too small and
write_tag_66_packet() will write up to 3 bytes past the end of the
buffer.
Fix this by increasing the size of the allocation so the whole packet
will always fit in the buffer.
This fixes the below kasan slab-out-of-bounds bug:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix division by zero in setup_dsc_config
When slice_height is 0, the division by slice_height in the calculation
of the number of slices will cause a division by zero driver crash. This
leaves the kernel in a state that requires a reboot. This patch adds a
check to avoid the division by zero.
The stack trace below is for the 6.8.4 Kernel. I reproduced the issue on
a Z16 Gen 2 Lenovo Thinkpad with a Apple Studio Display monitor
connected via Thunderbolt. The amdgpu driver crashed with this exception
when I rebooted the system with the monitor connected.

kernel: dc_dsc_compute_config (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dsc/dc_dsc.c:1109) amdgpu
After applying this patch, the driver no longer crashes when the monitor
is connected and the system is rebooted. I believe this is the same
issue reported for 3113.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: guard against invalid STA ID on removal
Guard against invalid station IDs in iwl_mvm_mld_rm_sta_id as that would
result in out-of-bounds array accesses. This prevents issues should the
driver get into a bad state during error handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/9p: fix uninitialized values during inode evict
If an iget fails due to not being able to retrieve information
from the server then the inode structure is only partially
initialized. When the inode gets evicted, references to
uninitialized structures (like fscache cookies) were being
made.
This patch checks for a bad_inode before doing anything other
than clearing the inode from the cache. Since the inode is
bad, it shouldn't have any state associated with it that needs
to be written back (and there really isn't a way to complete
those anyways).
