commit 2293c57484ae64c9a3c847c8807db8c26a3a4d41 upstream.
During the connection establishment, a peer can tell the other one that
it cannot establish new subflows to the initial IP address and port by
setting the 'C' flag [1]. Doing so makes sense when the sender is behind
a strict NAT, operating behind a legacy Layer 4 load balancer, or using
anycast IP address for example.
When this 'C' flag is set, the path-managers must then not try to
establish new subflows to the other peer's initial IP address and port.
The in-kernel PM has access to this info, but the userspace PM didn't.
The RFC8684 [1] is strict about that:
(...) therefore the receiver MUST NOT try to open any additional
subflows toward this address and port.
So it is important to tell the userspace about that as it is responsible
for the respect of this flag.
When a new connection is created and established, the Netlink events
now contain the existing but not currently used 'flags' attribute. When
MPTCP_PM_EV_FLAG_DENY_JOIN_ID0 is set, it means no other subflows
to the initial IP address and port -- info that are also part of the
event -- can be established.

Hi Sasha,
Thank you for maintaining the stable versions with Greg!
If I remember well, you run some scripts on your side to maintain the
queue/* branches in the linux-stable-rc Git tree [1], is that correct?
These branches have not been updated for a bit more than 3 weeks. Is it
normal?
Personally, I find them useful. But if it is just me, I can work without
them.

Subject: kmsan: Fix out-of-bounds access to shadow memory
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2025 12:58:58 -0700
Running sha224_kunit on a KMSAN-enabled kernel results in a crash in
kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin():

This occurs when memset() is called on a buffer that is not 4-byte aligned
and extends to the end of a guard page, i.e. the next page is unmapped.
The bug is that the loop at the end of kmsan_internal_set_shadow_origin()
accesses the wrong shadow memory bytes when the address is not 4-byte
aligned. Since each 4 bytes are associated with an origin, it rounds the
address and size so that it can access all the origins that contain the
buffer. However, when it checks the corresponding shadow bytes for a
particular origin, it incorrectly uses the original unrounded shadow
address. This results in reads from shadow memory beyond the end of the
buffer's shadow memory, which crashes when that memory is not mapped.
To fix this, correctly align the shadow address before accessing the 4
shadow bytes corresponding to each origin.

Subject: Squashfs: fix uninit-value in squashfs_get_parent
Date: Fri, 19 Sep 2025 00:33:08 +0100
Syzkaller reports a "KMSAN: uninit-value in squashfs_get_parent" bug.
This is caused by open_by_handle_at() being called with a file handle
containing an invalid parent inode number. In particular the inode number
is that of a symbolic link, rather than a directory.
Squashfs_get_parent() gets called with that symbolic link inode, and
accesses the parent member field.
unsigned int parent_ino = squashfs_i(inode)->parent;
Because non-directory inodes in Squashfs do not have a parent value, this
is uninitialised, and this causes an uninitialised value access.
The fix is to initialise parent with the invalid inode 0, which will cause
an EINVAL error to be returned.
Regular inodes used to share the parent field with the block_list_start
field. This is removed in this commit to enable the parent field to
contain the invalid inode number 0.

vec_len = 0 in pagemap_scan_init_bounce_buffer() means no buffers are
allocated and p->vec_buf remains set to NULL.
This breaks an assumption made later in pagemap_scan_backout_range(), that
page_region is always allocated for p->vec_buf_index.
Fix it by explicitly checking cur_buf for NULL before dereferencing.
Other sites that might run into same deref-issue are already (directly or
transitively) protected by checking p->vec_buf.
Note:
From PAGEMAP_SCAN man page, it seems vec_len = 0 is valid when no output
is requested and it's only the side effects caller is interested in, hence
it passes check in pagemap_scan_get_args().
This issue was found by syzkaller.

Bug-report: https://lore.kernel.org/all/915c0e00-b92d-4e37-9d4b-0f6a4580da97@oracle.com/
Summary: While backporting commit: 7c62c442b6eb ("x86/vmscape: Enumerate
VMSCAPE bug") to 6.12.y --> VULNBL_AMD(0x1a, SRSO | VMSCAPE) was added
even when 6.12.y doesn't have commit: 877818802c3e ("x86/bugs: Add
SRSO_USER_KERNEL_NO support").
Boris Ostrovsky suggested backporting three commits to 6.12.y:
1. commit: 877818802c3e ("x86/bugs: Add SRSO_USER_KERNEL_NO support")
2. commit: 8442df2b49ed ("x86/bugs: KVM: Add support for SRSO_MSR_FIX")
and its fix
3. commit: e3417ab75ab2 ("KVM: SVM: Set/clear SRSO's BP_SPEC_REDUCE on 0
<=> 1 VM count transitions") -- Maybe optional
Which changes current mitigation status on turin for 6.12.48 from Safe
RET to Reduced Speculation, leaving it with Safe RET liely causes heavy
performance regressions.
This three patches together change mitigation status from Safe RET to
Reduced Speculation
Tested on Turin:
[ 3.188134] Speculative Return Stack Overflow: Mitigation: Reduced Speculation
Backports:
1. Patch 1 had minor conflict as VMSCAPE commit added VULNBL_AMD(0x1a,
SRSO | VMSCAPE), and resolution is to skip that line.
2. Patch 2 and 3 are clean cherry-picks, 3 is a fix for 2.
Note: I verified if this problem is also on other stable trees like (6.6
--> 5.10, no they don't have this backport problem)
Thanks,
Harshit

x86/umip: Check that the instruction opcode is at least two bytes
When checking for a potential UMIP violation on #GP, verify the decoder found
at least two opcode bytes to avoid false positives when the kernel encounters
an unknown instruction that starts with 0f. Because the array of opcode.bytes
is zero-initialized by insn_init(), peeking at bytes[1] will misinterpret
garbage as a potential SLDT or STR instruction, and can incorrectly trigger
emulation.
E.g. if a VPALIGNR instruction
62 83 c5 05 0f 08 ff vpalignr xmm17{k5},xmm23,XMMWORD PTR [r8],0xff
hits a #GP, the kernel emulates it as STR and squashes the #GP (and corrupts
the userspace code stream).
Arguably the check should look for exactly two bytes, but no three byte
opcodes use '0f 00 xx' or '0f 01 xx' as an escape, i.e. it should be
impossible to get a false positive if the first two opcode bytes match '0f 00'
or '0f 01'. Go with a more conservative check with respect to the existing
code to minimize the chances of breaking userspace, e.g. due to decoder
weirdness.

x86/umip: Fix decoding of register forms of 0F 01 (SGDT and SIDT aliases)
Filter out the register forms of 0F 01 when determining whether or not to
emulate in response to a potential UMIP violation #GP, as SGDT and SIDT only
accept memory operands. The register variants of 0F 01 are used to encode
instructions for things like VMX and SGX, i.e. not checking the Mod field
would cause the kernel to incorrectly emulate on #GP, e.g. due to a CPL
violation on VMLAUNCH.

Syzbot reported an uninit-value bug on at kmalloc_reserve for
commit 320475fbd590 ("Merge tag 'mtd/fixes-for-6.17-rc6' of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux")'
Syzbot KMSAN reported use of uninitialized memory originating from functions
"kmalloc_reserve()", where memory allocated via "kmem_cache_alloc_node()" or
"kmalloc_node_track_caller()" was not explicitly initialized.
This can lead to undefined behavior when the allocated buffer
is later accessed.
Fix this by requesting the initialized memory using the gfp flag
appended with the option "__GFP_ZERO".

Closes: https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=9a4fbb77c9d4aacd3388
