commit 7c68ed5c5ad4c185ea9654f5d8ee36560277b7dd upstream.

bpf_get_fsverity_digest() silently truncates the digest if the provided
buffer is too small.  This is a footgun, and it doesn't match the
semantics of the equivalent UAPI (FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY).

Change it to return -EOVERFLOW instead, matching FS_IOC_MEASURE_VERITY.

<title>fsverity: Fix bpf_get_fsverity_digest() dynptr assumptions</title>

commit 3e8ec7c0387273329374f5c7bd61f5f38af71fe1 upstream.

The BPF verifier and the dynptr abstraction ensure that the memory space
referenced by a dynptr remains valid.  They do not, however, provide any
guarantee that the contents of the memory are stable.  kfuncs are
expected to remain memory-safe even if concurrent modifications occur.

bpf_get_fsverity_digest() didn't follow that: it could crash if
arg-&gt;digest_size was concurrently modified.

Fix that by using the known-good value hash_alg-&gt;digest_size instead.

Also widen 'dynptr_sz' and 'out_digest_sz' to u64 to match the return
type of __bpf_dynptr_size().  It doesn't appear that it can actually be
more than INT_MAX currently (since __bpf_dynptr_data_rw() excludes
file-based pointers), but the correct type might as well be used.

<title>fscrypt: use the mount idmap for the owner check in fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy()</title>

commit cf6c993c0feca7984797e634deba3c80342e199a upstream.

fscrypt_ioctl_set_policy() calls inode_owner_or_capable() with
&amp;nop_mnt_idmap before allowing an encryption policy to be set, instead
of the idmap of the mount the ioctl was issued on.

fscrypt is used by filesystems that support idmapped mounts (e.g. ext4,
f2fs), so on such a mount this compares the caller's fsuid against the
unmapped on-disk owner rather than the mapped owner: the actual owner
can be wrongly denied with -EACCES and an unrelated caller wrongly
allowed.  Use file_mnt_idmap(filp) instead.

commit d2f96bcb89d36d488a10e3bcf819b98536968286 upstream.

The check that fs-verity is available in the kernel is not necessary
here. Filesystems could have fsverity files even without fs-verity
enabled. In that case, truncate on fsverity file will succeed, what this
check is trying to prevent.

<title>eventfs: Use children field for rcu head and add memory barriers</title>

commit f0ece16ffca7384787b692431961ce202907acf5 upstream.

When an eventfs inode is freed, it sets ei-&gt;is_freed and then uses its
ei-&gt;list to add it to the srcu link list as the list field is a union with
the rcu list head. As the ei-&gt;list is used to iterate over an SRCU
protected list without taking the eventfs_mutex, there's nothing stopping
the iteration over that list to see the ei-&gt;rcu instead of the ei-&gt;list
and it will read a corrupt target.

To fix this, change the union of the rcu list head with the children list.
On freeing the eventfs inode, set the is_free and execute a smp_wmb()
before adding the eventfs inode to the SRCU list.

On iteration of the ei-&gt;children list, at the start, execute a smp_rmb()
and then read the is_freed of the ei to see if the children list is still
valid. If is_freed is set, then the ei_child read is not valid and the
loop should exit immediately.

commit fd73b691702170d37d66f4b0278530cea8ed419a upstream.

eventfs_remove_rec() recursively removes the child at the current loop
position. After the recursive call returns, list_for_each_entry() advances
by reading list.next from the removed child.

If free_ei() drops the final reference, release_ei() reuses the list/rcu
union to queue an SRCU callback. The child may be freed before that read.
The eventfs_mutex serializes list updates, but it does not keep the removed
child alive or prevent the SRCU callback from running.

Use list_for_each_entry_safe() to save the next sibling before recursively
removing the current child.

<title>smb: client: fix SMB1 TRANS2 multi-response truncation in SendReceive()</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 26fa4d17c023dbe5427a92d3a7bd9ae1d1e58bc5 upstream.

When a TRANS2 response is split across multiple secondary packets,
coalesce_t2() assembles the payload into the large response buffer.
Two bugs cause SendReceive() to copy only a small fraction of the
assembled buffer into the caller's output buffer.

This manifests when listing a large directory on an SMB1 share
(observed against Windows XP); the first getdents returns only
partial results, and subsequent getdents returns EINVAL.

Bug 1: coalesce_t2() computes the coalesced size as:

  *pdu_len += total_in_src;

cifs_demultiplex_thread() resets *pdu_len to each secondary's own
pdu_length before calling coalesce_t2(), so this accumulates from
the wrong baseline on every secondary after the first.

Bug 2: after reassembly, cifs_demultiplex_thread() sets
mid-&gt;resp_buf_size to the final secondary's raw packet size.  This
value is later used as the memcpy length, so only a portion of the
coalesced response is copied.

Fix both by replacing the stale *pdu_len arithmetic with
smbCalcSize(), which reads the BCC field that coalesce_t2()
maintains correctly throughout reassembly.

commit 4986410316b1ae0e63c6ce418e4eb196723626e7 upstream.

cifs_try_adding_channels() takes a temporary reference to an interface
before dropping iface_lock. If cifs_ses_add_channel() fails, it drops
that reference and then increments iface-&gt;weight_fulfilled.

A concurrent interface list refresh can remove the list reference while
channel creation is in progress. In that case, the failure-path
kref_put() releases the last reference and frees iface. Updating
weight_fulfilled afterward then accesses freed memory.

Increment weight_fulfilled before dropping the temporary reference,
keeping iface alive for the final access.

Fixes: 6aac002bcfd5 ("cifs: failure to add channel on iface should bump up weight")

<title>binfmt_misc: don't warn when the mount is completed from another user namespace</title>

commit 79fdf39f1a31f88cb3833b6f8091fbf6acdca2c6 upstream.

fsopen() records the caller's user namespace in fc-&gt;user_ns and hands
back an ordinary file descriptor. Nothing ties the task that calls
fsconfig(FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE) to the task that created the context. The
fd is inherited across fork() and exec() and it can be passed over a
unix socket.

Completing a context from another user namespace is allowed on purpose.
vfs_cmd_create() authorizes the create with mount_capable(), which for
FS_USERNS_MOUNT checks ns_capable(fc-&gt;user_ns, CAP_SYS_ADMIN), and that
succeeds for a task holding CAP_SYS_ADMIN in an ancestor of fc-&gt;user_ns.
So an unprivileged task can reach the WARN_ON() in bm_fill_super():
create a user and a mount namespace in a child, call
fsopen("binfmt_misc") there, send the fscontext fd to the parent and let
the parent issue FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE. Both namespaces come from a plain
unshare(1) and no capability is needed anywhere:

  WARNING: fs/binfmt_misc.c:938 at bm_fill_super+0xa2/0xc0 [binfmt_misc]
  CPU: 15 UID: 1000 PID: 3243382 Comm: fswarn
  Call Trace:
   get_tree_keyed+0x7d/0xb0
   bm_get_tree+0x34/0x90 [binfmt_misc]
   vfs_get_tree+0x2a/0x100
   vfs_cmd_create+0x60/0xf0
   __do_sys_fsconfig+0x4b2/0x500

The child needs the mount namespace because fsopen() itself gates on
may_mount(), which asks for CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the user namespace owning
the caller's mount namespace. fsconfig() doesn't repeat that check.

It is a WARN_ON() and not a WARN_ON_ONCE(), so the condition can be
raised in a loop to taint the kernel and flood the log, and it panics a
kernel booted with panic_on_warn.

Keep refusing the mount and stop warning about it. Nothing in
bm_fill_super() depends on the two namespaces matching, it derives
everything from sb-&gt;s_user_ns.

already spells a user namespace check this way for Opt_override_creds.
