| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: use kvmalloc_array/kvfree instead of kmalloc_array/kfree
The call stack shown below is a scenario in the Linux 4.19 kernel.
Allocating memory failed where exfat fs use kmalloc_array due to
system memory fragmentation, while the u-disk was inserted without
recognition.
Devices such as u-disk using the exfat file system are pluggable and
may be insert into the system at any time.
However, long-term running systems cannot guarantee the continuity of
physical memory. Therefore, it's necessary to address this issue.

By analyzing the exfat code,we found that continuous physical memory
is not required here,so kvmalloc_array is used can solve this problem. |

mi->mrec = kmalloc(sbi->record_size, GFP_NOFS); -->failed to allocate memory
if (!mi->mrec)
return -ENOMEM;
iput
iput_final

ntfs_evict_inode

is_rec_inuse(ni->mi.mrec)-> As 'ni->mi.mrec' is NULL trigger NULL-ptr-deref
To solve above issue if new inode failed make inode bad before call 'iput()' in
'ntfs_new_inode()'. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix blktrace debugfs entries leakage
Commit 99d055b4fd4b ("block: remove per-disk debugfs files in
blk_unregister_queue") moves blk_trace_shutdown() from
blk_release_queue() to blk_unregister_queue(), this is safe if blktrace
is created through sysfs, however, there is a regression in corner
case.
blktrace can still be enabled after del_gendisk() through ioctl if
the disk is opened before del_gendisk(), and if blktrace is not shutdown
through ioctl before closing the disk, debugfs entries will be leaked.
Fix this problem by shutdown blktrace in disk_release(), this is safe
because blk_trace_remove() is reentrant. |

The cause of the warning is in __ftrace_event_enable_disable(),
trace_buffered_event_enable() was called once while
trace_buffered_event_disable() was called twice.
Reproduction script show as below, for analysis, see the comments:
```
#!/bin/bash
cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# 1. Register a 'disable_event' command, then:
# 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was set;
# 2) trace_buffered_event_enable() was called first time;
echo 'cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' > \
set_ftrace_filter
# 2. Enable the event registered, then:
# 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared;
# 2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called first time;
echo 1 > events/initcall/initcall_finish/enable
# 3. Try to call into cmdline_proc_show(), then SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was
# set again!!!
cat /proc/cmdline
# 4. Unregister the 'disable_event' command, then:
# 1) SOFT_DISABLED_BIT was cleared again;
# 2) trace_buffered_event_disable() was called second time!!!
echo '!cmdline_proc_show:disable_event:initcall:initcall_finish' > \
set_ftrace_filter
```
To fix it, IIUC, we can change to call trace_buffered_event_enable() at
fist time soft-mode enabled, and call trace_buffered_event_disable() at
last time soft-mode disabled. |

Revert "drm/msm: Add missing check and destroy for alloc_ordered_workqueue"
This reverts commit 643b7d0869cc7f1f7a5ac7ca6bd25d88f54e31d0.
A recent patch that tried to fix up the msm_drm_init() paths with
respect to the workqueue but only ended up making things worse:
First, the newly added calls to msm_drm_uninit() on early errors would
trigger NULL-pointer dereferences, for example, as the kms pointer would
not have been initialised. (Note that these paths were also modified by
a second broken error handling patch which in effect cancelled out this
part when merged.)
Second, the newly added allocation sanity check would still leak the
previously allocated drm device.
Instead of trying to salvage what was badly broken (and clearly not
tested), let's revert the bad commit so that clean and backportable
fixes can be added in its place.

In function probe(), it returns directly without unregistered hws

Fix this by adding 'goto unregister_hws;' on line 295 and
line 310.
Use devm_kzalloc() instead of kzalloc() to automatically
free the memory using devm_kfree() when error occurs.

usb: typec: bus: verify partner exists in typec_altmode_attention
Some usb hubs will negotiate DisplayPort Alt mode with the device
but will then negotiate a data role swap after entering the alt
mode. The data role swap causes the device to unregister all alt
modes, however the usb hub will still send Attention messages
even after failing to reregister the Alt Mode. type_altmode_attention
currently does not verify whether or not a device's altmode partner
exists, which results in a NULL pointer error when dereferencing
the typec_altmode and typec_altmode_ops belonging to the altmode
partner.
Verify the presence of a device's altmode partner before sending
the Attention message to the Alt Mode driver. |

net: dsa: microchip: Don't free uninitialized ksz_irq
If something goes wrong at setup, ksz_irq_free() can be called on
uninitialized ksz_irq (for example when ksz_ptp_irq_setup() fails). It
leads to freeing uninitialized IRQ numbers and/or domains.
Use dsa_switch_for_each_user_port_continue_reverse() in the error path
to iterate only over the fully initialized ports. |

The likely cause is that init_waitqueue_head() is called after the call to
the torture_create_kthread() function that creates the ref_scale_reader
kthread. Although this init_waitqueue_head() call will very likely
complete before this kthread is created and starts running, it is
possible that the calling kthread will be delayed between the calls to
torture_create_kthread() and init_waitqueue_head(). In this case, the
new kthread will use the waitqueue head before it is properly initialized,
which is not good for the kernel's health and well-being.
The above crash happened here:
static inline void __add_wait_queue(...)
{
:
if (!(wq->flags & WQ_FLAG_PRIORITY)) <=== Crash here
The offset of flags from list_head entry in wait_queue_entry is
-0x18. If reader_tasks[i].wq.head.next is NULL as allocated reader_task
structure is zero initialized, the instruction will try to access address
0xffffffffffffffe8, which is exactly the fault address listed above.
This commit therefore invokes init_waitqueue_head() before creating
the kthread. |

CXL is already marked PROBE_PREFER_ASYNCHRONOUS. So provide for a
synchronous registration path to preclude this scenario. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix a race condition in retrieve_deps
There's a race condition in the multipath target when retrieve_deps
races with multipath_message calling dm_get_device and dm_put_device.
retrieve_deps walks the list of open devices without holding any lock
but multipath may add or remove devices to the list while it is
running. The end result may be memory corruption or use-after-free
memory access.
See this description of a UAF with multipath_message():
https://listman.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2022-October/052373.html
Fix this bug by introducing a new rw semaphore "devices_lock". We grab
devices_lock for read in retrieve_deps and we grab it for write in
dm_get_device and dm_put_device. |
