[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:
jfs: fix slab-out-of-bounds Read in dtSearch
Currently while searching for current page in the sorted entry table
of the page there is a out of bound access. Added a bound check to fix
the error.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: s390: fix setting of fpc register
kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_fpu() allows to set the floating point control
(fpc) register of a guest cpu. The new value is tested for validity by
temporarily loading it into the fpc register.
This may lead to corruption of the fpc register of the host process:
if an interrupt happens while the value is temporarily loaded into the fpc
register, and within interrupt context floating point or vector registers
are used, the current fp/vx registers are saved with save_fpu_regs()
assuming they belong to user space and will be loaded into fp/vx registers
when returning to user space.
test_fp_ctl() restores the original user space / host process fpc register
value, however it will be discarded, when returning to user space.
In result the host process will incorrectly continue to run with the value
that was supposed to be used for a guest cpu.
Fix this by simply removing the test. There is another test right before
the SIE context is entered which will handles invalid values.
This results in a change of behaviour: invalid values will now be accepted
instead of that the ioctl fails with -EINVAL. This seems to be acceptable,
given that this interface is most likely not used anymore, and this is in
addition the same behaviour implemented with the memory mapped interface
(replace invalid values with zero) - see sync_regs() in kvm-s390.c.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/ptrace: handle setting of fpc register correctly
If the content of the floating point control (fpc) register of a traced
process is modified with the ptrace interface the new value is tested for
validity by temporarily loading it into the fpc register.
This may lead to corruption of the fpc register of the tracing process:
if an interrupt happens while the value is temporarily loaded into the
fpc register, and within interrupt context floating point or vector
registers are used, the current fp/vx registers are saved with
save_fpu_regs() assuming they belong to user space and will be loaded into
fp/vx registers when returning to user space.
test_fp_ctl() restores the original user space fpc register value, however
it will be discarded, when returning to user space.
In result the tracer will incorrectly continue to run with the value that
was supposed to be used for the traced process.
Fix this by saving fpu register contents with save_fpu_regs() before using
test_fp_ctl().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: rkisp1: Fix IRQ disable race issue
In rkisp1_isp_stop() and rkisp1_csi_disable() the driver masks the
interrupts and then apparently assumes that the interrupt handler won't
be running, and proceeds in the stop procedure. This is not the case, as
the interrupt handler can already be running, which would lead to the
ISP being disabled while the interrupt handler handling a captured
frame.
This brings up two issues: 1) the ISP could be powered off while the
interrupt handler is still running and accessing registers, leading to
board lockup, and 2) the interrupt handler code and the code that
disables the streaming might do things that conflict.
It is not clear to me if 2) causes a real issue, but 1) can be seen with
a suitable delay (or printk in my case) in the interrupt handler,
leading to board lockup.
