Since an instance of 'struct kiocb' may be passed from the block layer
with 'private' field uninitialized, introduce 'ocfs2_iocb_init_rw_locked()'
and use it from where 'ocfs2_dio_end_io()' might take care, i.e. in
'ocfs2_file_read_iter()' and 'ocfs2_file_write_iter()'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: add range check for conn_rsp_epid in htc_connect_service()
I found the following bug in my fuzzer:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/htc_hst.c:26:51
index 255 is out of range for type 'htc_endpoint [22]'
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 8 Comm: kworker/0:0 Not tainted 6.11.0-rc6-dirty #14
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.15.0-1 04/01/2014
Workqueue: events request_firmware_work_func
Call Trace:

...
Since this bug has been confirmed to be caused by insufficient verification
of conn_rsp_epid, I think it would be appropriate to add a range check for
conn_rsp_epid to htc_connect_service() to prevent the bug from occurring.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent a potential integer overflow
If the tag length is >= U32_MAX - 3 then the "length + 4" addition
can result in an integer overflow. Address this by splitting the
decoding into several steps so that decode_cb_compound4res() does
not have to perform arithmetic on the unsafe length value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: Flush partial mappings in error case
If some remap_pfn_range() calls succeeded before one failed, we still have
buffer pages mapped into the userspace page tables when we drop the buffer
reference with comedi_buf_map_put(bm). The userspace mappings are only
cleaned up later in the mmap error path.
Fix it by explicitly flushing all mappings in our VMA on the error path.
See commit 79a61cc3fc04 ("mm: avoid leaving partial pfn mappings around in
error case").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/xen: don't do PV iret hypercall through hypercall page
Instead of jumping to the Xen hypercall page for doing the iret
hypercall, directly code the required sequence in xen-asm.S.
This is done in preparation of no longer using hypercall page at all,
as it has shown to cause problems with speculation mitigations.
This is part of XSA-466 / CVE-2024-53241.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: add missing range check in bitmap_ip_uadt
When tb[IPSET_ATTR_IP_TO] is not present but tb[IPSET_ATTR_CIDR] exists,
the values of ip and ip_to are slightly swapped. Therefore, the range check
for ip should be done later, but this part is missing and it seems that the
vulnerability occurs.
So we should add missing range checks and remove unnecessary range checks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
initramfs: avoid filename buffer overrun
The initramfs filename field is defined in
Documentation/driver-api/early-userspace/buffer-format.rst as:
37 cpio_file := ALGN(4) + cpio_header + filename + "\0" + ALGN(4) + data
...
55 ============= ================== =========================
56 Field name Field size Meaning
57 ============= ================== =========================
...
70 c_namesize 8 bytes Length of filename, including final \0
When extracting an initramfs cpio archive, the kernel's do_name() path
handler assumes a zero-terminated path at @collected, passing it
directly to filp_open() / init_mkdir() / init_mknod().
If a specially crafted cpio entry carries a non-zero-terminated filename
and is followed by uninitialized memory, then a file may be created with
trailing characters that represent the uninitialized memory. The ability
to create an initramfs entry would imply already having full control of
the system, so the buffer overrun shouldn't be considered a security
vulnerability.
Append the output of the following bash script to an existing initramfs
and observe any created /initramfs_test_fname_overrunAA* path. E.g.
./reproducer.sh | gzip >> /myinitramfs
It's easiest to observe non-zero uninitialized memory when the output is
gzipped, as it'll overflow the heap allocated @out_buf in __gunzip(),
rather than the initrd_start+initrd_size block.

---- reproducer.sh ----
Symlink filename fields handled in do_symlink() won't overrun past the
data segment, due to the explicit zero-termination of the symlink
target.
Fix filename buffer overrun by aborting the initramfs FSM if any cpio
entry doesn't carry a zero-terminator at the expected (name_len - 1)
offset.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Handle dml allocation failure to avoid crash
[Why]
In the case where a dml allocation fails for any reason, the
current state's dml contexts would no longer be valid. Then
subsequent calls dc_state_copy_internal would shallow copy
invalid memory and if the new state was released, a double
free would occur.
[How]
Reset dml pointers in new_state to NULL and avoid invalid
pointer

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa: solidrun: Fix UB bug with devres
In psnet_open_pf_bar() and snet_open_vf_bar() a string later passed to
pcim_iomap_regions() is placed on the stack. Neither
pcim_iomap_regions() nor the functions it calls copy that string.
Should the string later ever be used, this, consequently, causes
undefined behavior since the stack frame will by then have disappeared.
Fix the bug by allocating the strings on the heap through
devm_kasprintf().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/task_stack: fix object_is_on_stack() for KASAN tagged pointers
When CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS and CONFIG_KASAN_STACK are enabled, the
object_is_on_stack() function may produce incorrect results due to the
presence of tags in the obj pointer, while the stack pointer does not have
tags. This discrepancy can lead to incorrect stack object detection and
subsequently trigger warnings if CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS is also enabled.
Example of the warning:
ODEBUG: object 3eff800082ea7bb0 is NOT on stack ffff800082ea0000, but annotated.
