In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: fix sleeping function called from invalid context at print message
Address a bug in the kernel that triggers a "sleeping function called from
invalid context" warning when /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak is printed under
specific conditions:
- CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y
- Set SELinux as the LSM for the system
- Set kptr_restrict to 1
- kmemleak buffer contains at least one item

%pS and %pK, in the same back trace line, are redundant, and %pS can void
%pK service in certain contexts.
%pS alone already provides the necessary information, and if it cannot
resolve the symbol, it falls back to printing the raw address voiding
the original intent behind the %pK.
Additionally, %pK requires a privilege check CAP_SYSLOG enforced through
the LSM, which can trigger a "sleeping function called from invalid
context" warning under RT_PREEMPT kernels when the check occurs in an
atomic context. This issue may also affect other LSMs.
This change avoids the unnecessary privilege check and resolves the
sleeping function warning without any loss of information.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Skip restore TC rules for vport rep without loaded flag
During driver unload, unregister_netdev is called after unloading
vport rep. So, the mlx5e_rep_priv is already freed while trying to get
rpriv->netdev, or walk rpriv->tc_ht, which results in use-after-free.
So add the checking to make sure access the data of vport rep which is
still loaded.

This issue occurs because the skb buffer is too small, and it's actual
allocation is aligned. This hides an actual issue, which is that nr_route_frame
does not validate the buffer size before using it.
Fix this issue by checking skb->len before accessing any fields in skb->data.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.
