Kernel Offset: disabled
Rebooting in 86400 seconds..
The issue is caused when the value of lp becomes greater than
CTLTREESIZE which is the max size of stree. Adding a simple check
solves this issue.
Dave:
As the function returns a void, good error handling
would require a more intrusive code reorganization, so I modified
Osama's patch at use WARN_ON_ONCE for lack of a cleaner option.
The patch is tested via syzbot.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/lib: Validate size for vector operations
Some of the fp/vmx code in sstep.c assume a certain maximum size for the
instructions being emulated. The size of those operations however is
determined separately in analyse_instr().
Add a check to validate the assumption on the maximum size of the
operations, so as to prevent any unintended kernel stack corruption.

[Analysis]
When the agstart is too large, it can cause agno overflow.
[Fix]
After obtaining agno, if the value is invalid, exit the subsequent process.
Modified the test from agno > MAXAG to agno >= MAXAG based on linux-next
report by kernel test robot (Dan Carpenter).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix uaf in jfs_evict_inode
When the execution of diMount(ipimap) fails, the object ipimap that has been
released may be accessed in diFreeSpecial(). Asynchronous ipimap release occurs
when rcu_core() calls jfs_free_node().
Therefore, when diMount(ipimap) fails, sbi->ipimap should not be initialized as
ipimap.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in dbAdjTree
Currently there is a bound check missing in the dbAdjTree while
accessing the dmt_stree. To add the required check added the bool is_ctl
which is required to determine the size as suggest in the following
commit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: Fix potential array-index-out-of-bounds read in ath9k_htc_txstatus()
Fix an array-index-out-of-bounds read in ath9k_htc_txstatus(). The bug
occurs when txs->cnt, data from a URB provided by a USB device, is
bigger than the size of the array txs->txstatus, which is
HTC_MAX_TX_STATUS. WARN_ON() already checks it, but there is no bug
handling code after the check. Make the function return if that is the
case.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rt2x00: restart beacon queue when hardware reset
When a hardware reset is triggered, all registers are reset, so all
queues are forced to stop in hardware interface. However, mac80211
will not automatically stop the queue. If we don't manually stop the
beacon queue, the queue will be deadlocked and unable to start again.
This patch fixes the issue where Apple devices cannot connect to the
AP after calling ieee80211_restart_hw().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sysctl: Fix out of bounds access for empty sysctl registers
When registering tables to the sysctl subsystem there is a check to see
if header is a permanently empty directory (used for mounts). This check
evaluates the first element of the ctl_table. This results in an out of
bounds evaluation when registering empty directories.
The function register_sysctl_mount_point now passes a ctl_table of size
1 instead of size 0. It now relies solely on the type to identify
a permanently empty register.
Make sure that the ctl_table has at least one element before testing for
permanent emptiness.
