[ Upstream commit 84ac7260236a49c79eede91617700174c2c19b0c ]

When packet_set_ring creates a ring buffer it will initialize a
struct timer_list if the packet version is TPACKET_V3. This value
can then be raced by a different thread calling setsockopt to
set the version to TPACKET_V1 before packet_set_ring has finished.

This leads to a use-after-free on a function pointer in the
struct timer_list when the socket is closed as the previously
initialized timer will not be deleted.

The bug is fixed by taking lock_sock(sk) in packet_setsockopt when
changing the packet version while also taking the lock at the start
of packet_set_ring.

Fixes: f6fb8f100b80 ("af-packet: TPACKET_V3 flexible buffer implementation.")

<title>nfsd: Disable NFSv2 timestamp workaround for NFSv3+</title>

[ Upstream commit cc265089ce1b176dde963c74b53593446ee7f99a ]

NFSv2 can set the atime and/or mtime of a file to specific timestamps but not
to the server's current time.  To implement the equivalent of utimes("file",
NULL), it uses a heuristic.

NFSv3 and later do support setting the atime and/or mtime to the server's
current time directly.  The NFSv2 heuristic is still enabled, and causes
timestamps to be set wrong sometimes.

Fix this by moving the heuristic into the NFSv2 specific code.  We can leave it
out of the create code path: the owner can always set timestamps arbitrarily,
and the workaround would never trigger.

<title>tcp: fix use after free in tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue()</title>

[ Upstream commit bb1fceca22492109be12640d49f5ea5a544c6bb4 ]

When tcp_sendmsg() allocates a fresh and empty skb, it puts it at the
tail of the write queue using tcp_add_write_queue_tail()

Then it attempts to copy user data into this fresh skb.

If the copy fails, we undo the work and remove the fresh skb.

Unfortunately, this undo lacks the change done to tp-&gt;highest_sack and
we can leave a dangling pointer (to a freed skb)

Later, tcp_xmit_retransmit_queue() can dereference this pointer and
access freed memory. For regular kernels where memory is not unmapped,
this might cause SACK bugs because tcp_highest_sack_seq() is buggy,
returning garbage instead of tp-&gt;snd_nxt, but with various debug
features like CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, this can crash the kernel.

This bug was found by Marco Grassi thanks to syzkaller.
