In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpu: Re-enable CPU mitigations by default for !X86 architectures
Rename x86's to CPU_MITIGATIONS, define it in generic code, and force it
on for all architectures exception x86. A recent commit to turn
mitigations off by default if SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS=n kinda sorta
missed that "cpu_mitigations" is completely generic, whereas
SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS is x86-specific.
Rename x86's SPECULATIVE_MITIGATIONS instead of keeping both and have it
select CPU_MITIGATIONS, as having two configs for the same thing is
unnecessary and confusing. This will also allow x86 to use the knob to
manage mitigations that aren't strictly related to speculative
execution.
Use another Kconfig to communicate to common code that CPU_MITIGATIONS
is already defined instead of having x86's menu depend on the common
CPU_MITIGATIONS. This allows keeping a single point of contact for all
of x86's mitigations, and it's not clear that other architectures *want*
to allow disabling mitigations at compile-time.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Fix TASK_SIZE on 64-bit NOMMU
On NOMMU, userspace memory can come from anywhere in physical RAM. The
current definition of TASK_SIZE is wrong if any RAM exists above 4G,
causing spurious failures in the userspace access routines.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix q->blkg_list corruption during disk rebind
Multiple gendisk instances can allocated/added for single request queue
in case of disk rebind. blkg may still stay in q->blkg_list when calling
blkcg_init_disk() for rebind, then q->blkg_list becomes corrupted.
Fix the list corruption issue by:
- add blkg_init_queue() to initialize q->blkg_list & q->blkcg_mutex only
- move calling blkg_init_queue() into blk_alloc_queue()
The list corruption should be started since commit f1c006f1c685 ("blk-cgroup:
synchronize pd_free_fn() from blkg_free_workfn() and blkcg_deactivate_policy()")
which delays removing blkg from q->blkg_list into blkg_free_workfn().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: complete validation of user input
In my recent commit, I missed that do_replace() handlers
use copy_from_sockptr() (which I fixed), followed
by unsafe copy_from_sockptr_offset() calls.
In all functions, we can perform the @optlen validation
before even calling xt_alloc_table_info() with the following
check:
if ((u64)optlen < (u64)tmp.size + sizeof(tmp))
return -EINVAL;
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ena: Fix incorrect descriptor free behavior
ENA has two types of TX queues:
- queues which only process TX packets arriving from the network stack
- queues which only process TX packets forwarded to it by XDP_REDIRECT
or XDP_TX instructions
The ena_free_tx_bufs() cycles through all descriptors in a TX queue
and unmaps + frees every descriptor that hasn't been acknowledged yet
by the device (uncompleted TX transactions).
The function assumes that the processed TX queue is necessarily from
the first category listed above and ends up using napi_consume_skb()
for descriptors belonging to an XDP specific queue.
This patch solves a bug in which, in case of a VF reset, the
descriptors aren't freed correctly, leading to crashes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: qgroup: fix qgroup prealloc rsv leak in subvolume operations
Create subvolume, create snapshot and delete subvolume all use
btrfs_subvolume_reserve_metadata() to reserve metadata for the changes
done to the parent subvolume's fs tree, which cannot be mediated in the
normal way via start_transaction. When quota groups (squota or qgroups)
are enabled, this reserves qgroup metadata of type PREALLOC. Once the
operation is associated to a transaction, we convert PREALLOC to
PERTRANS, which gets cleared in bulk at the end of the transaction.
However, the error paths of these three operations were not implementing
this lifecycle correctly. They unconditionally converted the PREALLOC to
PERTRANS in a generic cleanup step regardless of errors or whether the
operation was fully associated to a transaction or not. This resulted in
error paths occasionally converting this rsv to PERTRANS without calling
record_root_in_trans successfully, which meant that unless that root got
recorded in the transaction by some other thread, the end of the
transaction would not free that root's PERTRANS, leaking it. Ultimately,
this resulted in hitting a WARN in CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG builds at unmount
for the leaked reservation.
The fix is to ensure that every qgroup PREALLOC reservation observes the
following properties:
1. any failure before record_root_in_trans is called successfully
results in freeing the PREALLOC reservation.
2. after record_root_in_trans, we convert to PERTRANS, and now the
transaction owns freeing the reservation.
This patch enforces those properties on the three operations. Without
it, generic/269 with squotas enabled at mkfs time would fail in ~5-10
runs on my system. With this patch, it ran successfully 1000 times in a
row.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/client: Fully protect modes[] with dev->mode_config.mutex
The modes[] array contains pointers to modes on the connectors'
mode lists, which are protected by dev->mode_config.mutex.
Thus we need to extend modes[] the same protection or by the
time we use it the elements may already be pointing to
freed/reused memory.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
VMCI: Fix memcpy() run-time warning in dg_dispatch_as_host()
Syzkaller hit 'WARNING in dg_dispatch_as_host' bug.
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 56) of single field "&dg_info->msg"
at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237 (size 24)
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1555 at drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237
dg_dispatch_as_host+0x88e/0xa60 drivers/misc/vmw_vmci/vmci_datagram.c:237
Some code commentry, based on my understanding:
544 #define VMCI_DG_SIZE(_dg) (VMCI_DG_HEADERSIZE + (size_t)(_dg)->payload_size)
/// This is 24 + payload_size
memcpy(&dg_info->msg, dg, dg_size);
Destination = dg_info->msg ---> this is a 24 byte
structure(struct vmci_datagram)
Source = dg --> this is a 24 byte structure (struct vmci_datagram)
Size = dg_size = 24 + payload_size
{payload_size = 56-24 =32} -- Syzkaller managed to set payload_size to 32.
35 struct delayed_datagram_info {
36 struct datagram_entry *entry;
37 struct work_struct work;
38 bool in_dg_host_queue;
39 /* msg and msg_payload must be together. */
40 struct vmci_datagram msg;
41 u8 msg_payload[];
42 };
So those extra bytes of payload are copied into msg_payload[], a run time
warning is seen while fuzzing with Syzkaller.
One possible way to fix the warning is to split the memcpy() into
two parts -- one -- direct assignment of msg and second taking care of payload.
Gustavo quoted:
"Under FORTIFY_SOURCE we should not copy data across multiple members
in a structure."
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pmdomain: ti: Add a null pointer check to the omap_prm_domain_init
devm_kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: handle chunk tree lookup error in btrfs_relocate_sys_chunks()
The unhandled case in btrfs_relocate_sys_chunks() loop is a corruption,
as it could be caused only by two impossible conditions:
- at first the search key is set up to look for a chunk tree item, with
offset -1, this is an inexact search and the key->offset will contain
the correct offset upon a successful search, a valid chunk tree item
cannot have an offset -1
- after first successful search, the found_key corresponds to a chunk
item, the offset is decremented by 1 before the next loop, it's
impossible to find a chunk item there due to alignment and size
constraints
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: properly terminate timers for kernel sockets
We had various syzbot reports about tcp timers firing after
the corresponding netns has been dismantled.
Fortunately Josef Bacik could trigger the issue more often,
and could test a patch I wrote two years ago.
When TCP sockets are closed, we call inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers()
to 'stop' the timers.
inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers() can be called from any context,
including when socket lock is held.
This is the reason it uses sk_stop_timer(), aka del_timer().
This means that ongoing timers might finish much later.
For user sockets, this is fine because each running timer
holds a reference on the socket, and the user socket holds
a reference on the netns.
For kernel sockets, we risk that the netns is freed before
timer can complete, because kernel sockets do not hold
reference on the netns.
This patch adds inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync() function
that using sk_stop_timer_sync() to make sure all timers
are terminated before the kernel socket is released.
Modules using kernel sockets close them in their netns exit()
handler.
Also add sock_not_owned_by_me() helper to get LOCKDEP
support : inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync() must not be called
while socket lock is held.
It is very possible we can revert in the future commit
3a58f13a881e ("net: rds: acquire refcount on TCP sockets")
which attempted to solve the issue in rds only.
(net/smc/af_smc.c and net/mptcp/subflow.c have similar code)
We probably can remove the check_net() tests from
tcp_out_of_resources() and __tcp_close() in the future.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: reject new basechain after table flag update
When dormant flag is toggled, hooks are disabled in the commit phase by
iterating over current chains in table (existing and new).
The following configuration allows for an inconsistent state:
add table x
add chain x y { type filter hook input priority 0; }
add table x { flags dormant; }
add chain x w { type filter hook input priority 1; }
which triggers the following warning when trying to unregister chain w
which is already unregistered.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: do not accept non-tunnel GSO skbs landing in a tunnel
When rx-udp-gro-forwarding is enabled UDP packets might be GROed when
being forwarded. If such packets might land in a tunnel this can cause
various issues and udp_gro_receive makes sure this isn't the case by
looking for a matching socket. This is performed in
udp4/6_gro_lookup_skb but only in the current netns. This is an issue
with tunneled packets when the endpoint is in another netns. In such
cases the packets will be GROed at the UDP level, which leads to various
issues later on. The same thing can happen with rx-gro-list.
We saw this with geneve packets being GROed at the UDP level. In such
case gso_size is set; later the packet goes through the geneve rx path,
the geneve header is pulled, the offset are adjusted and frag_list skbs
are not adjusted with regard to geneve. When those skbs hit
skb_fragment, it will misbehave. Different outcomes are possible
depending on what the GROed skbs look like; from corrupted packets to
kernel crashes.
One example is a BUG_ON[1] triggered in skb_segment while processing the
frag_list. Because gso_size is wrong (geneve header was pulled)
skb_segment thinks there is "geneve header size" of data in frag_list,
although it's in fact the next packet. The BUG_ON itself has nothing to
do with the issue. This is only one of the potential issues.
Looking up for a matching socket in udp_gro_receive is fragile: the
lookup could be extended to all netns (not speaking about performances)
but nothing prevents those packets from being modified in between and we
could still not find a matching socket. It's OK to keep the current
logic there as it should cover most cases but we also need to make sure
we handle tunnel packets being GROed too early.
This is done by extending the checks in udp_unexpected_gso: GSO packets
lacking the SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL/_CSUM bits and landing in a tunnel must
be segmented.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: dynamic: Synchronize of_changeset_destroy() with the devlink removals
In the following sequence:
1) of_platform_depopulate()
2) of_overlay_remove()
During the step 1, devices are destroyed and devlinks are removed.
During the step 2, OF nodes are destroyed but
__of_changeset_entry_destroy() can raise warnings related to missing
of_node_put():
ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2 ...
Indeed, during the devlink removals performed at step 1, the removal
itself releasing the device (and the attached of_node) is done by a job
queued in a workqueue and so, it is done asynchronously with respect to
function calls.
When the warning is present, of_node_put() will be called but wrongly
too late from the workqueue job.
In order to be sure that any ongoing devlink removals are done before
the of_node destruction, synchronize the of_changeset_destroy() with the
devlink removals.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm/pat: fix VM_PAT handling in COW mappings
PAT handling won't do the right thing in COW mappings: the first PTE (or,
in fact, all PTEs) can be replaced during write faults to point at anon
folios. Reliably recovering the correct PFN and cachemode using
follow_phys() from PTEs will not work in COW mappings.
Using follow_phys(), we might just get the address+protection of the anon
folio (which is very wrong), or fail on swap/nonswap entries, failing
follow_phys() and triggering a WARN_ON_ONCE() in untrack_pfn() and
track_pfn_copy(), not properly calling free_pfn_range().
In free_pfn_range(), we either wouldn't call memtype_free() or would call
it with the wrong range, possibly leaking memory.
To fix that, let's update follow_phys() to refuse returning anon folios,
and fallback to using the stored PFN inside vma->vm_pgoff for COW mappings
if we run into that.
We will now properly handle untrack_pfn() with COW mappings, where we
don't need the cachemode. We'll have to fail fork()->track_pfn_copy() if
the first page was replaced by an anon folio, though: we'd have to store
the cachemode in the VMA to make this work, likely growing the VMA size.
For now, lets keep it simple and let track_pfn_copy() just fail in that
case: it would have failed in the past with swap/nonswap entries already,
and it would have done the wrong thing with anon folios.
Simple reproducer to trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in untrack_pfn():

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix UAF in smb2_reconnect_server()
The UAF bug is due to smb2_reconnect_server() accessing a session that
is already being teared down by another thread that is executing
__cifs_put_smb_ses(). This can happen when (a) the client has
connection to the server but no session or (b) another thread ends up
setting @ses->ses_status again to something different than
SES_EXITING.
To fix this, we need to make sure to unconditionally set
@ses->ses_status to SES_EXITING and prevent any other threads from
setting a new status while we're still tearing it down.
The following can be reproduced by adding some delay to right after
the ipc is freed in __cifs_put_smb_ses() - which will give
smb2_reconnect_server() worker a chance to run and then accessing
@ses->ipc:

In lpit_update_residency() there is a possibility of overflow
in multiplication, if tsc_khz is large enough (> UINT_MAX/1000).
Change multiplication to mul_u32_u32().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mvpp2: clear BM pool before initialization
Register value persist after booting the kernel using
kexec which results in kernel panic. Thus clear the
BM pool registers before initialisation to fix the issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: tc358743: register v4l2 async device only after successful setup
Ensure the device has been setup correctly before registering the v4l2
async device, thus allowing userspace to access.

usb: gadget: ncm: Fix handling of zero block length packets
While connecting to a Linux host with CDC_NCM_NTB_DEF_SIZE_TX
set to 65536, it has been observed that we receive short packets,
which come at interval of 5-10 seconds sometimes and have block
length zero but still contain 1-2 valid datagrams present.
According to the NCM spec:
"If wBlockLength = 0x0000, the block is terminated by a
short packet. In this case, the USB transfer must still
be shorter than dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize. If
exactly dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize bytes are sent,
and the size is a multiple of wMaxPacketSize for the
given pipe, then no ZLP shall be sent.
wBlockLength= 0x0000 must be used with extreme care, because
of the possibility that the host and device may get out of
sync, and because of test issues.
wBlockLength = 0x0000 allows the sender to reduce latency by
starting to send a very large NTB, and then shortening it when
the sender discovers that there’s not sufficient data to justify
sending a large NTB"
However, there is a potential issue with the current implementation,
as it checks for the occurrence of multiple NTBs in a single
giveback by verifying if the leftover bytes to be processed is zero
or not. If the block length reads zero, we would process the same
NTB infintely because the leftover bytes is never zero and it leads
to a crash. Fix this by bailing out if block length reads zero.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: udc: remove warning when queue disabled ep
It is possible trigger below warning message from mass storage function,
WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 3839 at drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:294 usb_ep_queue+0x7c/0x104
pc : usb_ep_queue+0x7c/0x104
lr : fsg_main_thread+0x494/0x1b3c
Root cause is mass storage function try to queue request from main thread,
but other thread may already disable ep when function disable.
As there is no function failure in the driver, in order to avoid effort
to fix warning, change WARN_ON_ONCE() in usb_ep_queue() to pr_debug().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: Set page uptodate in the correct place
Page cache reads are lockless, so setting the freshly allocated page
uptodate before we've overwritten it with the data it's supposed to have
in it will allow a simultaneous reader to see old data. Move the call
to SetPageUptodate into ubifs_write_end(), which is after we copied the
new data into the page.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: fsl: qbman: Use raw spinlock for cgr_lock
smp_call_function always runs its callback in hard IRQ context, even on
PREEMPT_RT, where spinlocks can sleep. So we need to use a raw spinlock
for cgr_lock to ensure we aren't waiting on a sleeping task.
Although this bug has existed for a while, it was not apparent until
commit ef2a8d5478b9 ("net: dpaa: Adjust queue depth on rate change")
which invokes smp_call_function_single via qman_update_cgr_safe every
time a link goes up or down.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/aio: Check IOCB_AIO_RW before the struct aio_kiocb conversion
The first kiocb_set_cancel_fn() argument may point at a struct kiocb
that is not embedded inside struct aio_kiocb. With the current code,
depending on the compiler, the req->ki_ctx read happens either before
the IOCB_AIO_RW test or after that test. Move the req->ki_ctx read such
that it is guaranteed that the IOCB_AIO_RW test happens first.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: core: Avoid negative index with array access
Commit 4d0c8d0aef63 ("mmc: core: Use mrq.sbc in close-ended ffu") assigns
prev_idata = idatas[i - 1], but doesn't check that the iterator i is
greater than zero. Let's fix this by adding a check.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/PM: Drain runtime-idle callbacks before driver removal
A race condition between the .runtime_idle() callback and the .remove()
callback in the rtsx_pcr PCI driver leads to a kernel crash due to an
unhandled page fault [1].
The problem is that rtsx_pci_runtime_idle() is not expected to be running
after pm_runtime_get_sync() has been called, but the latter doesn't really
guarantee that. It only guarantees that the suspend and resume callbacks
will not be running when it returns.
However, if a .runtime_idle() callback is already running when
pm_runtime_get_sync() is called, the latter will notice that the runtime PM
status of the device is RPM_ACTIVE and it will return right away without
waiting for the former to complete. In fact, it cannot wait for
.runtime_idle() to complete because it may be called from that callback (it
arguably does not make much sense to do that, but it is not strictly
prohibited).
Thus in general, whoever is providing a .runtime_idle() callback needs
to protect it from running in parallel with whatever code runs after
pm_runtime_get_sync(). [Note that .runtime_idle() will not start after
pm_runtime_get_sync() has returned, but it may continue running then if it
has started earlier.]
One way to address that race condition is to call pm_runtime_barrier()
after pm_runtime_get_sync() (not before it, because a nonzero value of the
runtime PM usage counter is necessary to prevent runtime PM callbacks from
being invoked) to wait for the .runtime_idle() callback to complete should
it be running at that point. A suitable place for doing that is in
pci_device_remove() which calls pm_runtime_get_sync() before removing the
driver, so it may as well call pm_runtime_barrier() subsequently, which
will prevent the race in question from occurring, not just in the rtsx_pcr
driver, but in any PCI drivers providing .runtime_idle() callbacks.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix corruption during on-line resize
We observed a corruption during on-line resize of a file system that is
larger than 16 TiB with 4k block size. With having more then 2^32 blocks
resize_inode is turned off by default by mke2fs. The issue can be
reproduced on a smaller file system for convenience by explicitly
turning off resize_inode. An on-line resize across an 8 GiB boundary (the
size of a meta block group in this setup) then leads to a corruption:
dev=/dev/<some_dev> # should be >= 16 GiB
mkdir -p /corruption
/sbin/mke2fs -t ext4 -b 4096 -O ^resize_inode $dev $((2 * 2**21 - 2**15))
mount -t ext4 $dev /corruption
dd if=/dev/zero bs=4096 of=/corruption/test count=$((2*2**21 - 4*2**15))
sha1sum /corruption/test
# 79d2658b39dcfd77274e435b0934028adafaab11 /corruption/test
/sbin/resize2fs $dev $((2*2**21))
# drop page cache to force reload the block from disk
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
sha1sum /corruption/test
# 3c2abc63cbf1a94c9e6977e0fbd72cd832c4d5c3 /corruption/test
2^21 = 2^15*2^6 equals 8 GiB whereof 2^15 is the number of blocks per
block group and 2^6 are the number of block groups that make a meta
block group.
The last checksum might be different depending on how the file is laid
out across the physical blocks. The actual corruption occurs at physical
block 63*2^15 = 2064384 which would be the location of the backup of the
meta block group's block descriptor. During the on-line resize the file
system will be converted to meta_bg starting at s_first_meta_bg which is
2 in the example - meaning all block groups after 16 GiB. However, in
ext4_flex_group_add we might add block groups that are not part of the
first meta block group yet. In the reproducer we achieved this by
substracting the size of a whole block group from the point where the
meta block group would start. This must be considered when updating the
backup block group descriptors to follow the non-meta_bg layout. The fix
is to add a test whether the group to add is already part of the meta
block group or not.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm snapshot: fix lockup in dm_exception_table_exit
There was reported lockup when we exit a snapshot with many exceptions.
Fix this by adding "cond_resched" to the loop that frees the exceptions.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ll_temac: platform_get_resource replaced by wrong function
The function platform_get_resource was replaced with
devm_platform_ioremap_resource_byname and is called using 0 as name.
This eventually ends up in platform_get_resource_byname in the call
stack, where it causes a null pointer in strcmp.
if (type == resource_type(r) && !strcmp(r->name, name))
It should have been replaced with devm_platform_ioremap_resource.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pipe: wakeup wr_wait after setting max_usage
Commit c73be61cede5 ("pipe: Add general notification queue support") a
regression was introduced that would lock up resized pipes under certain
conditions. See the reproducer in [1].
The commit resizing the pipe ring size was moved to a different
function, doing that moved the wakeup for pipe->wr_wait before actually
raising pipe->max_usage. If a pipe was full before the resize occured it
would result in the wakeup never actually triggering pipe_write.
Set @max_usage and @nr_accounted before waking writers if this isn't a
watch queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: create sysfs nodes as driver's default device attribute group
The DisplayPort driver's sysfs nodes may be present to the userspace before
typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe. This means that
a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by deferencing dp->hpd in
hpd_show or dp->lock in pin_assignment_show, as dev_get_drvdata() returns
NULL in those cases.
Remove manual sysfs node creation in favor of adding attribute group as
default for devices bound to the driver. The ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro is
not used here otherwise the path to the sysfs nodes is no longer compliant
with the ABI.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Stop parsing channels bits when all channels are found.
If a usb audio device sets more bits than the amount of channels

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpumap: Zero-initialise xdp_rxq_info struct before running XDP program
When running an XDP program that is attached to a cpumap entry, we don't
initialise the xdp_rxq_info data structure being used in the xdp_buff
that backs the XDP program invocation. Tobias noticed that this leads to
random values being returned as the xdp_md->rx_queue_index value for XDP
programs running in a cpumap.
This means we're basically returning the contents of the uninitialised
memory, which is bad. Fix this by zero-initialising the rxq data
structure before running the XDP program.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netrom: Fix data-races around sysctl_net_busy_read

ipv6: fix potential "struct net" leak in inet6_rtm_getaddr()
It seems that if userspace provides a correct IFA_TARGET_NETNSID value

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtnetlink: fix error logic of IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS writing back
In the commit d73ef2d69c0d ("rtnetlink: let rtnl_bridge_setlink checks
IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE length"), an adjustment was made to the old loop logic
in the function `rtnl_bridge_setlink` to enable the loop to also check
the length of the IFLA_BRIDGE_MODE attribute. However, this adjustment
removed the `break` statement and led to an error logic of the flags
writing back at the end of this function.
if (have_flags)
memcpy(nla_data(attr), &flags, sizeof(flags));
// attr should point to IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS NLA !!!
Before the mentioned commit, the `attr` is granted to be IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS.
However, this is not necessarily true fow now as the updated loop will let
the attr point to the last NLA, even an invalid NLA which could cause
overflow writes.
This patch introduces a new variable `br_flag` to save the NLA pointer
that points to IFLA_BRIDGE_FLAGS and uses it to resolve the mentioned
error logic.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

power: supply: bq27xxx-i2c: Do not free non existing IRQ
The bq27xxx i2c-client may not have an IRQ, in which case
client->irq will be 0. bq27xxx_battery_i2c_probe() already has
an if (client->irq) check wrapping the request_threaded_irq().
But bq27xxx_battery_i2c_remove() unconditionally calls
free_irq(client->irq) leading to:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: reject iftype change with mesh ID change
It's currently possible to change the mesh ID when the
interface isn't yet in mesh mode, at the same time as
changing it into mesh mode. This leads to an overwrite
of data in the wdev->u union for the interface type it
currently has, causing cfg80211_change_iface() to do
wrong things when switching.
We could probably allow setting an interface to mesh
while setting the mesh ID at the same time by doing a
different order of operations here, but realistically
there's no userspace that's going to do this, so just
disallow changes in iftype when setting mesh ID.
