In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Add sync after creating vram bo
There will be data corruption on vram allocated by svm
if the initialization is not complete and application is
writting on the memory. Adding sync to wait for the
initialization completion is to resolve this issue.

hence it requires obtaining the target address from rs1 followed by

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fec: Use page_pool_put_full_page when freeing rx buffers
The page_pool_release_page was used when freeing rx buffers, and this
function just unmaps the page (if mapped) and does not recycle the page.
So after hundreds of down/up the eth0, the system will out of memory.
For more details, please refer to the following reproduce steps and
bug logs. To solve this issue and refer to the doc of page pool, the
page_pool_put_full_page should be used to replace page_pool_release_page.
Because this API will try to recycle the page if the page refcnt equal to
1. After testing 20000 times, the issue can not be reproduced anymore
(about testing 391 times the issue will occur on i.MX8MN-EVK before).
Reproduce steps:
Create the test script and run the script. The script content is as
follows:
LOOPS=20000
i=1
while [ $i -le $LOOPS ]
do
echo "TINFO:ENET $curface up and down test $i times"
org_macaddr=$(cat /sys/class/net/eth0/address)
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 hw ether $org_macaddr up
i=$(expr $i + 1)
done
sleep 5
if cat /sys/class/net/eth0/operstate | grep 'up';then
echo "TEST PASS"
else
echo "TEST FAIL"
fi

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix UaF in netns ops registration error path
If net_assign_generic() fails, the current error path in ops_init() tries
to clear the gen pointer slot. Anyway, in such error path, the gen pointer
itself has not been modified yet, and the existing and accessed one is
smaller than the accessed index, causing an out-of-bounds error:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: prevent potential spectre v1 gadgets
Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from
__nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla()
u16 type = nla_type(nla);
if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) {
/* error or continue */
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses,
but an audit is needed to take care of others where
validation is not yet centralized in core netlink functions.

Fix that by adding an optional acpi callback allowing to skip setting

hypervisor anyway.
