CVE-2022-49291 ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent hw_params and hw_free calls
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent hw_params and hw_free calls

Currently we have neither proper check nor protection against the
concurrent calls of PCM hw_params and hw_free ioctls, which may result
in a UAF.  Since the existing PCM stream lock can't be used for
protecting the whole ioctl operations, we need a new mutex to protect
those racy calls.

This patch introduced a new mutex, runtime->buffer_mutex, and applies
it to both hw_params and hw_free ioctl code paths.  Along with it, the
both functions are slightly modified (the mmap_count check is moved
into the state-check block) for code simplicity.

CVE-2022-49292 ALSA: oss: Fix PCM OSS buffer allocation overflow
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: oss: Fix PCM OSS buffer allocation overflow

We've got syzbot reports hitting INT_MAX overflow at vmalloc()
allocation that is called from snd_pcm_plug_alloc().  Although we
apply the restrictions to input parameters, it's based only on the
hw_params of the underlying PCM device.  Since the PCM OSS layer
allocates a temporary buffer for the data conversion, the size may
become unexpectedly large when more channels or higher rates is given;
in the reported case, it went over INT_MAX, hence it hits WARN_ON().

This patch is an attempt to avoid such an overflow and an allocation
for too large buffers.  First off, it adds the limit of 1MB as the
upper bound for period bytes.  This must be large enough for all use
cases, and we really don't want to handle a larger temporary buffer
than this size.  The size check is performed at two places, where the
original period bytes is calculated and where the plugin buffer size
is calculated.

In addition, the driver uses array_size() and array3_size() for
multiplications to catch overflows for the converted period size and
buffer bytes.

CVE-2022-49296 ceph: fix possible deadlock when holding Fwb to get inline_data
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ceph: fix possible deadlock when holding Fwb to get inline_data

1, mount with wsync.
2, create a file with O_RDWR, and the request was sent to mds.0:

   ceph_atomic_open()-->
     ceph_mdsc_do_request(openc)
     finish_open(file, dentry, ceph_open)-->
       ceph_open()-->
         ceph_init_file()-->
           ceph_init_file_info()-->
             ceph_uninline_data()-->
             {
               ...
               if (inline_version == 1 || /* initial version, no data */
                   inline_version == CEPH_INLINE_NONE)
                     goto out_unlock;
               ...
             }

The inline_version will be 1, which is the initial version for the
new create file. And here the ci->i_inline_version will keep with 1,
it's buggy.

3, buffer write to the file immediately:

   ceph_write_iter()-->
     ceph_get_caps(file, need=Fw, want=Fb, ...);
     generic_perform_write()-->
       a_ops->write_begin()-->
         ceph_write_begin()-->
           netfs_write_begin()-->
             netfs_begin_read()-->
               netfs_rreq_submit_slice()-->
                 netfs_read_from_server()-->
                   rreq->netfs_ops->issue_read()-->
                     ceph_netfs_issue_read()-->
                     {
                       ...
                       if (ci->i_inline_version != CEPH_INLINE_NONE &&
                           ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline(subreq))
                         return;
                       ...
                     }
     ceph_put_cap_refs(ci, Fwb);

The ceph_netfs_issue_op_inline() will send a getattr(Fsr) request to
mds.1.

4, then the mds.1 will request the rd lock for CInode::filelock from
the auth mds.0, the mds.0 will do the CInode::filelock state transation
from excl --> sync, but it need to revoke the Fxwb caps back from the
clients.

While the kernel client has aleady held the Fwb caps and waiting for
the getattr(Fsr).

It's deadlock!

"qemu-ndb -d" will call ioctl 'NBD_DISCONNECT' first, however, following
message was found:

block nbd0: Send disconnect failed -32

Which indicate that something is wrong with the server. Then,
"qemu-nbd -d" will call ioctl 'NBD_CLEAR_SOCK', however ioctl can't clear
requests after commit 2516ab1543fd("nbd: only clear the queue on device
teardown"). And in the meantime, request can't complete through timeout
because nbd_xmit_timeout() will always return 'BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER', which
means such request will never be completed in this situation.

Now that the flag 'NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT' can make sure requests won't
complete multiple times, switch back to call nbd_clear_sock() in
nbd_clear_sock_ioctl(), so that inflight requests can be cleared.

CVE-2022-49300 nbd: fix race between nbd_alloc_config() and module removal
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nbd: fix race between nbd_alloc_config() and module removal

When nbd module is being removing, nbd_alloc_config() may be
called concurrently by nbd_genl_connect(), although try_module_get()
will return false, but nbd_alloc_config() doesn't handle it.

The race may lead to the leak of nbd_config and its related
resources (e.g, recv_workq) and oops in nbd_read_stat() due
to the unload of nbd module as shown below:

Fixing it by checking the return value of try_module_get()
in nbd_alloc_config(). As nbd_alloc_config() may return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),
assign nbd->config only when nbd_alloc_config() succeeds to ensure
the value of nbd->config is binary (valid or NULL).

Also adding a debug message to check the reference counter
of nbd_config during module removal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

usb: dwc3: host: Stop setting the ACPI companion

It is no longer needed. The sysdev pointer is now used when
assigning the ACPI companions to the xHCI ports and USB
devices.

Assigning the ACPI companion here resulted in the
fwnode->secondary pointer to be replaced also for the parent
dwc3 device since the primary fwnode (the ACPI companion)
was shared. That was unintentional and it created potential
side effects like resource leaks.

CVE-2022-49308 extcon: Modify extcon device to be created after driver data is set
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

extcon: Modify extcon device to be created after driver data is set

Currently, someone can invoke the sysfs such as state_show()
intermittently before dev_set_drvdata() is done.
And it can be a cause of kernel Oops because of edev is Null at that time.
So modified the driver registration to after setting drviver data.

- Oops's backtrace.

CVE-2022-49309 drivers: staging: rtl8723bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drivers: staging: rtl8723bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback()

There is a deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback(),
which is shown below:

   (Thread 1)                  |      (Thread 2)
                               | _set_timer()
rtw_surveydone_event_callback()|  mod_timer()
 spin_lock_bh() //(1)          |  (wait a time)
 ...                           | rtw_scan_timeout_handler()
 del_timer_sync()              |  spin_lock_bh() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)          |  ...

We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and use
del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rtw_surveydone_event_callback() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() in
rtw_scan_timeout_handler() to spin_lock_irq(). Otherwise,
spin_lock_bh() will also cause deadlock() in timer handler.

CVE-2022-49310 char: xillybus: fix a refcount leak in cleanup_dev()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

char: xillybus: fix a refcount leak in cleanup_dev()

usb_get_dev is called in xillyusb_probe. So it is better to call
usb_put_dev before xdev is released.

CVE-2022-49311 drivers: staging: rtl8192bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drivers: staging: rtl8192bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle()

There is a deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle(), which is shown
below:

   (Thread 1)                |      (Thread 2)
                             | _set_timer()

 spin_lock_bh() //(1)        |  (wait a time)
 ...                         | _rtw_join_timeout_handler()
 del_timer_sync()            |  spin_lock_bh() //(2)
 (wait timer to stop)        |  ...

We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle() will block forever.

This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() to
spin_lock_irq() in _rtw_join_timeout_handler() in order to
prevent deadlock.
