In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: Fix refcount leak caused by setting SO_BINDTODEVICE sockopt
If an AX25 device is bound to a socket by setting the SO_BINDTODEVICE
socket option, a refcount leak will occur in ax25_release().
Commit 9fd75b66b8f6 ("ax25: Fix refcount leaks caused by ax25_cb_del()")
added decrement of device refcounts in ax25_release(). In order for that
to work correctly the refcounts must already be incremented when the
device is bound to the socket. An AX25 device can be bound to a socket
by either calling ax25_bind() or setting SO_BINDTODEVICE socket option.
In both cases the refcounts should be incremented, but in fact it is done
only in ax25_bind().
This bug leads to the following issue reported by Syzkaller:

Fix the implementation of ax25_setsockopt() by adding increment of
refcounts for the new device bound, and decrement of refcounts for
the old unbound device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: sn-f-ospi: Fix division by zero
When there is no dummy cycle in the spi-nor commands, both dummy bus cycle
bytes and width are zero. Because of the cpu's warning when divided by
zero, the warning should be avoided. Return just zero to avoid such
calculations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: hid-thrustmaster: fix stack-out-of-bounds read in usb_check_int_endpoints()
Syzbot[1] has detected a stack-out-of-bounds read of the ep_addr array from
hid-thrustmaster driver. This array is passed to usb_check_int_endpoints
function from usb.c core driver, which executes a for loop that iterates
over the elements of the passed array. Not finding a null element at the end of
the array, it tries to read the next, non-existent element, crashing the kernel.
To fix this, a 0 element was added at the end of the array to break the for
loop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: fix hang in nfsd4_shutdown_callback
If nfs4_client is in courtesy state then there is no point to send
the callback. This causes nfsd4_shutdown_callback to hang since
cl_cb_inflight is not 0. This hang lasts about 15 minutes until TCP
notifies NFSD that the connection was dropped.
This patch modifies nfsd4_run_cb_work to skip the RPC call if
nfs4_client is in courtesy state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: clear acl_access/acl_default after releasing them
If getting acl_default fails, acl_access and acl_default will be released
simultaneously. However, acl_access will still retain a pointer pointing
to the released posix_acl, which will trigger a WARNING in
nfs3svc_release_getacl like this:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpiolib: Fix crash on error in gpiochip_get_ngpios()
The gpiochip_get_ngpios() uses chip_*() macros to print messages.
However these macros rely on gpiodev to be initialised and set,
which is not the case when called via bgpio_init(). In such a case
the printing messages will crash on NULL pointer dereference.
Replace chip_*() macros by the respective dev_*() ones to avoid
such crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: cacheinfo: Avoid out-of-bounds write to cacheinfo array
The loop that detects/populates cache information already has a bounds
check on the array size but does not account for cache levels with
separate data/instructions cache. Fix this by incrementing the index
for any populated leaf (instead of any populated level).
