Debian: >> Debian Linux Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: qup: jump out of the loop in case of timeout
Original logic only sets the return value but doesn't jump out of the
loop if the bus is kept active by a client. This is not expected. A
malicious or buggy i2c client can hang the kernel in this case and
should be avoided. This is observed during a long time test with a
PCA953x GPIO extender.
Fix it by changing the logic to not only sets the return value, but also
jumps out of the loop and return to the caller with -ETIMEDOUT.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: reject invalid file types when reading inodes
To prevent inodes with invalid file types from tripping through the vfs
and causing malfunctions or assertion failures, add a missing sanity check
when reading an inode from a block device. If the file type is not valid,
treat it as a filesystem error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: netlink: can_changelink(): fix NULL pointer deref of struct can_priv::do_set_mode
Andrei Lalaev reported a NULL pointer deref when a CAN device is
restarted from Bus Off and the driver does not implement the struct
can_priv::do_set_mode callback.
There are 2 code path that call struct can_priv::do_set_mode:
- directly by a manual restart from the user space, via
can_changelink()
- delayed automatic restart after bus off (deactivated by default)
To prevent the NULL pointer deference, refuse a manual restart or
configure the automatic restart delay in can_changelink() and report
the error via extack to user space.
As an additional safety measure let can_restart() return an error if
can_priv::do_set_mode is not set instead of dereferencing it
unchecked.

[16937.192268] F2FS-fs (loop0): Failed to find devices
If device path length equals to MAX_PATH_LEN, sbi->devs.path[] may
not end up w/ null character due to path array is fully filled, So
accidently, fields locate after path[] may be treated as part of
device path, result in parsing wrong device path.
struct f2fs_dev_info {
...
char path[MAX_PATH_LEN];
...
};
Let's add one byte space for sbi->devs.path[] to store null
character of device path string.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
proc: use the same treatment to check proc_lseek as ones for proc_read_iter et.al
Check pde->proc_ops->proc_lseek directly may cause UAF in rmmod scenario.
It's a gap in proc_reg_open() after commit 654b33ada4ab("proc: fix UAF in
proc_get_inode()"). Followed by AI Viro's suggestion, fix it in same
manner.

To avoid deadlock, Commit 31651c607151 ("hfsplus: avoid deadlock
on file truncation") unlock extree before hfsplus_free_extents(),
and add check wheather extree is locked in hfsplus_free_extents().
However, when operations such as hfsplus_file_release,
hfsplus_setattr, hfsplus_unlink, and hfsplus_get_block are executed
concurrently in different files, it is very likely to trigger the
WARN_ON, which will lead syzbot and xfstest to consider it as an
abnormality.
The comment above this warning also describes one of the easy
triggering situations, which can easily trigger and cause
xfstest&syzbot to report errors.

Several threads could try to lock the shared extents tree.
And warning can be triggered in one thread when another thread
has locked the tree. This is the wrong behavior of the code and
we need to remove the warning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: reject TDLS operations when station is not associated
syzbot triggered a WARN in ieee80211_tdls_oper() by sending
NL80211_TDLS_ENABLE_LINK immediately after NL80211_CMD_CONNECT,
before association completed and without prior TDLS setup.
This left internal state like sdata->u.mgd.tdls_peer uninitialized,
leading to a WARN_ON() in code paths that assumed it was valid.
Reject the operation early if not in station mode or not associated.
