commit 8318e04ab2526b155773313b66a1542476ce1106 upstream.

It is possible that the topology parsing function
audioreach_widget_load_module_common() could return NULL or an error
pointer. Add missing NULL check so that we do not dereference it.

commit 80eaf32672871bd2623ce6ba13ffc1f018756580 upstream.

In 'stm32_csi_start', 'csidev-&gt;s_subdev' is dereferenced directly while
assigning a value to the 'src_pad'. However the same value is being
checked against NULL at a later point of time indicating that there
are chances that the value can be NULL.

Move the dereference after the NULL check.

<content type='text'>
commit 02a24f13b3a1d9da9f3de56aa5fdb7cc1fe167a2 upstream.

One internal buffer which is allocated only once per session was not
being freed during session close because it was not being tracked as
part of internal buffer list which resulted in a memory leak.

Add the necessary logic to explicitly free the untracked internal buffer
during session close to ensure all allocated memory is released
properly.

<title>mm: swap: check for stable address space before operating on the VMA</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9cddad3b26dac830407d2d3c0de5205ff6d6dda0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 1367da7eb875d01102d2ed18654b24d261ff5393 upstream.

It is possible to hit a zero entry while traversing the vmas in unuse_mm()
called from swapoff path and accessing it causes the OOPS:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address
0000000000000446--&gt; Loading the memory from offset 0x40 on the
XA_ZERO_ENTRY as address.
Mem abort info:
  ESR = 0x0000000096000005
  EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
  SET = 0, FnV = 0
  EA = 0, S1PTW = 0
  FSC = 0x05: level 1 translation fault

The issue is manifested from the below race between the fork() on a
process and swapoff:
fork(dup_mmap())			swapoff(unuse_mm)
---------------                         -----------------
1) Identical mtree is built using
   __mt_dup().

2) copy_pte_range()--&gt;
	copy_nonpresent_pte():
       The dst mm is added into the
    mmlist to be visible to the
    swapoff operation.

3) Fatal signal is sent to the parent
process(which is the current during the
fork) thus skip the duplication of the
vmas and mark the vma range with
XA_ZERO_ENTRY as a marker for this process
that helps during exit_mmap().

				     4) swapoff is tried on the
					'mm' added to the 'mmlist' as
					part of the 2.

				     5) unuse_mm(), that iterates
					through the vma's of this 'mm'
					will hit the non-NULL zero entry
					and operating on this zero entry
					as a vma is resulting into the
					oops.

The proper fix would be around not exposing this partially-valid tree to
others when droping the mmap lock, which is being solved with [1].  A
simpler solution would be checking for MMF_UNSTABLE, as it is set if
mm_struct is not fully initialized in dup_mmap().

Thanks to Liam/Lorenzo/David for all the suggestions in fixing this
issue.

<title>media: uvcvideo: Mark invalid entities with id UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID</title>

<id>urn:sha1:15c0e136bd8cd70a1136a11c7876d6aae0eef8c8</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0e2ee70291e64a30fe36960c85294726d34a103e upstream.

Per UVC 1.1+ specification 3.7.2, units and terminals must have a non-zero
unique ID.

```
Each Unit and Terminal within the video function is assigned a unique
identification number, the Unit ID (UID) or Terminal ID (TID), contained in
the bUnitID or bTerminalID field of the descriptor. The value 0x00 is
reserved for undefined ID,
```

If we add a new entity with id 0 or a duplicated ID, it will be marked
as UVC_INVALID_ENTITY_ID.

In a previous attempt commit 3dd075fe8ebb ("media: uvcvideo: Require
entities to have a non-zero unique ID"), we ignored all the invalid units,
this broke a lot of non-compatible cameras. Hopefully we are more lucky
this time.

This also prevents some syzkaller reproducers from triggering warnings due
to a chain of entities referring to themselves. In one particular case, an
Output Unit is connected to an Input Unit, both with the same ID of 1. But
when looking up for the source ID of the Output Unit, that same entity is
found instead of the input entity, which leads to such warnings.

In another case, a backward chain was considered finished as the source ID
was 0. Later on, that entity was found, but its pads were not valid.

Here is a sample stack trace for one of those cases.

The iMON driver improperly releases the usb_device reference in
imon_disconnect without coordinating with active users of the
device.

Specifically, the fields usbdev_intf0 and usbdev_intf1 are not
protected by the users counter (ictx-&gt;users). During probe,
imon_init_intf0 or imon_init_intf1 increments the usb_device
reference count depending on the interface. However, during
disconnect, usb_put_dev is called unconditionally, regardless of
actual usage.

As a result, if vfd_write or other operations are still in
progress after disconnect, this can lead to a use-after-free of
the usb_device pointer.

Thread 1 vfd_write                      Thread 2 imon_disconnect
                                        ...

                                          usb_put_dev(ictx-&gt;usbdev_intf0)
                                        else
                                          usb_put_dev(ictx-&gt;usbdev_intf1)
...
while
  send_packet
    if
      pipe = usb_sndintpipe(
        ictx-&gt;usbdev_intf0) UAF
    else
      pipe = usb_sndctrlpipe(
        ictx-&gt;usbdev_intf0, 0) UAF

Guard access to usbdev_intf0 and usbdev_intf1 after disconnect by
checking ictx-&gt;disconnected in all writer paths. Add early return
with -ENODEV in send_packet(), vfd_write(), lcd_write() and
display_open() if the device is no longer present.

Set and read ictx-&gt;disconnected under ictx-&gt;lock to ensure memory
synchronization. Acquire the lock in imon_disconnect() before setting
the flag to synchronize with any ongoing operations.

Ensure writers exit early and safely after disconnect before the USB
core proceeds with cleanup.

<title>media: tuner: xc5000: Fix use-after-free in xc5000_release</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9a00de20ed8ba90888479749b87bc1532cded4ce</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 40b7a19f321e65789612ebaca966472055dab48c upstream.

The original code uses cancel_delayed_work() in xc5000_release(), which
does not guarantee that the delayed work item timer_sleep has fully
completed if it was already running. This leads to use-after-free scenarios
where xc5000_release() may free the xc5000_priv while timer_sleep is still
active and attempts to dereference the xc5000_priv.

A typical race condition is illustrated below:

CPU 0 (release thread)                 | CPU 1 (delayed work callback)
xc5000_release()                       | xc5000_do_timer_sleep()
  cancel_delayed_work()                |
  hybrid_tuner_release_state(priv)     |
    kfree(priv)                        |
                                       |   priv = container_of() // UAF

Replace cancel_delayed_work() with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure
that the timer_sleep is properly canceled before the xc5000_priv memory
is deallocated.

A deadlock concern was considered: xc5000_release() is called in a process
context and is not holding any locks that the timer_sleep work item might
also need. Therefore, the use of the _sync() variant is safe here.

This bug was initially identified through static analysis.

commit 79d10f4f21a92e459b2276a77be62c59c1502c9d upstream.

The state-&gt;timer is a cyclic timer that schedules work_i2c_poll and
delayed_work_enable_hotplug, while rearming itself. Using timer_delete()
fails to guarantee the timer isn't still running when destroyed, similarly
cancel_delayed_work() cannot ensure delayed_work_enable_hotplug has
terminated if already executing. During probe failure after timer
initialization, these may continue running as orphans and reference the
already-freed tc358743_state object through tc358743_irq_poll_timer.

The following is the trace captured by KASAN.

Replace timer_delete() with timer_delete_sync() and cancel_delayed_work()
with cancel_delayed_work_sync() to ensure proper termination of timer and
work items before resource cleanup.

This bug was initially identified through static analysis. For reproduction
and testing, I created a functional emulation of the tc358743 device via a
kernel module and introduced faults through the debugfs interface.
