In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: don't drop extent_map for free space inode on write error
While running the CI for an unrelated change I hit the following panic
with generic/648 on btrfs_holes_spacecache.
assertion failed: block_start != EXTENT_MAP_HOLE, in fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:1385

This happens because we fail to write out the free space cache in one
instance, come back around and attempt to write it again. However on
the second pass through we go to call btrfs_get_extent() on the inode to
get the extent mapping. Because this is a new block group, and with the
free space inode we always search the commit root to avoid deadlocking
with the tree, we find nothing and return a EXTENT_MAP_HOLE for the
requested range.
This happens because the first time we try to write the space cache out
we hit an error, and on an error we drop the extent mapping. This is
normal for normal files, but the free space cache inode is special. We
always expect the extent map to be correct. Thus the second time
through we end up with a bogus extent map.
Since we're deprecating this feature, the most straightforward way to
fix this is to simply skip dropping the extent map range for this failed
range.
I shortened the test by using error injection to stress the area to make
it easier to reproduce. With this patch in place we no longer panic
with my error injection test.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Fix random data corruption from exception handler
The current exception handler implementation, which assists when accessing
user space memory, may exhibit random data corruption if the compiler decides
to use a different register than the specified register %r29 (defined in
ASM_EXCEPTIONTABLE_REG) for the error code. If the compiler choose another
register, the fault handler will nevertheless store -EFAULT into %r29 and thus
trash whatever this register is used for.
Looking at the assembly I found that this happens sometimes in emulate_ldd().
To solve the issue, the easiest solution would be if it somehow is
possible to tell the fault handler which register is used to hold the error
code. Using %0 or %1 in the inline assembly is not posssible as it will show
up as e.g. %r29 (with the "%r" prefix), which the GNU assembler can not
convert to an integer.
This patch takes another, better and more flexible approach:
We extend the __ex_table (which is out of the execution path) by one 32-word.
In this word we tell the compiler to insert the assembler instruction
"or %r0,%r0,%reg", where %reg references the register which the compiler
choosed for the error return code.
In case of an access failure, the fault handler finds the __ex_table entry and
can examine the opcode. The used register is encoded in the lowest 5 bits, and
the fault handler can then store -EFAULT into this register.
Since we extend the __ex_table to 3 words we can't use the BUILDTIME_TABLE_SORT
config option any longer.

nouveau: offload fence uevents work to workqueue
This should break the deadlock between the fctx lock and the irq lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_lock to gather the threads/children stats
lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call
do_task_stat() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, it will
spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.
Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock to gather the statistics
outside of ->siglock protected section, in the likely case this code will
run lockless.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: prevent use-after-free in encode_cap_msg()
In fs/ceph/caps.c, in encode_cap_msg(), "use after free" error was
caught by KASAN at this line - 'ceph_buffer_get(arg->xattr_buf);'. This
implies before the refcount could be increment here, it was freed.
In same file, in "handle_cap_grant()" refcount is decremented by this
line - 'ceph_buffer_put(ci->i_xattrs.blob);'. It appears that a race
occurred and resource was freed by the latter line before the former
line could increment it.
encode_cap_msg() is called by __send_cap() and __send_cap() is called by
ceph_check_caps() after calling __prep_cap(). __prep_cap() is where
arg->xattr_buf is assigned to ci->i_xattrs.blob. This is the spot where
the refcount must be increased to prevent "use after free" error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: arm64: Fix circular locking dependency
The rule inside kvm enforces that the vcpu->mutex is taken *inside*
kvm->lock. The rule is violated by the pkvm_create_hyp_vm() which acquires
the kvm->lock while already holding the vcpu->mutex lock from
kvm_vcpu_ioctl(). Avoid the circular locking dependency altogether by
protecting the hyp vm handle with the config_lock, much like we already
do for other forms of VM-scoped data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix data corruption in dsync block recovery for small block sizes
The helper function nilfs_recovery_copy_block() of
nilfs_recovery_dsync_blocks(), which recovers data from logs created by
data sync writes during a mount after an unclean shutdown, incorrectly
calculates the on-page offset when copying repair data to the file's page
cache. In environments where the block size is smaller than the page
size, this flaw can cause data corruption and leak uninitialized memory
bytes during the recovery process.
Fix these issues by correcting this byte offset calculation on the page.
