In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Prevent race during ffs_ep0_queue_wait
While performing fast composition switch, there is a possibility that the
process of ffs_ep0_write/ffs_ep0_read get into a race condition
due to ep0req being freed up from functionfs_unbind.
Consider the scenario that the ffs_ep0_write calls the ffs_ep0_queue_wait
by taking a lock &ffs->ev.waitq.lock. However, the functionfs_unbind isn't
bounded so it can go ahead and mark the ep0req to NULL, and since there
is no NULL check in ffs_ep0_queue_wait we will end up in use-after-free.
Fix this by making a serialized execution between the two functions using
a mutex_lock(ffs->mutex).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: usb: sunplus: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in sp_usb_phy_probe()
sp_usb_phy_probe() will call platform_get_resource_byname() that may fail
and return NULL. devm_ioremap() will use usbphy->moon4_res_mem->start as
input, which may causes null-ptr-deref. Check the ret value of
platform_get_resource_byname() to avoid the null-ptr-deref.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/highbank: Fix memory leak in highbank_mc_probe()
When devres_open_group() fails, it returns -ENOMEM without freeing memory
allocated by edac_mc_alloc().
Call edac_mc_free() on the error handling path to avoid a memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/uffd: fix pte marker when fork() without fork event
Patch series "mm: Fixes on pte markers".
Patch 1 resolves the syzkiller report from Pengfei.
Patch 2 further harden pte markers when used with the recent swapin error
markers. The major case is we should persist a swapin error marker after
fork(), so child shouldn't read a corrupted page.
This patch (of 2):
When fork(), dst_vma is not guaranteed to have VM_UFFD_WP even if src may
have it and has pte marker installed. The warning is improper along with
the comment. The right thing is to inherit the pte marker when needed, or
keep the dst pte empty.
A vague guess is this happened by an accident when there's the prior patch
to introduce src/dst vma into this helper during the uffd-wp feature got
developed and I probably messed up in the rebase, since if we replace
dst_vma with src_vma the warning & comment it all makes sense too.
Hugetlb did exactly the right here (copy_hugetlb_page_range()). Fix the
general path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fpga: m10bmc-sec: Fix probe rollback
Handle probe error rollbacks properly to avoid leaks.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: imx-sdma: Fix a possible memory leak in sdma_transfer_init
If the function sdma_load_context() fails, the sdma_desc will be
freed, but the allocated desc->bd is forgot to be freed.
We already met the sdma_load_context() failure case and the log as
below:
[ 450.699064] imx-sdma 30bd0000.dma-controller: Timeout waiting for CH0 ready
...
In this case, the desc->bd will not be freed without this change.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs/zmap.c: Fix incorrect offset calculation
Effective offset to add to length was being incorrectly calculated,
which resulted in iomap->length being set to 0, triggering a WARN_ON
in iomap_iter_done().
Fix that, and describe it in comments.
This was reported as a crash by syzbot under an issue about a warning
encountered in iomap_iter_done(), but unrelated to erofs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/amd: fix potential integer overflow on shift of a int
The left shift of int 32 bit integer constant 1 is evaluated using 32 bit
arithmetic and then passed as a 64 bit function argument. In the case where
i is 32 or more this can lead to an overflow. Avoid this by shifting
using the BIT_ULL macro instead.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: designware: use casting of u64 in clock multiplication to avoid overflow
In functions i2c_dw_scl_lcnt() and i2c_dw_scl_hcnt() may have overflow
by depending on the values of the given parameters including the ic_clk.
For example in our use case where ic_clk is larger than one million,
multiplication of ic_clk * 4700 will result in 32 bit overflow.
Add cast of u64 to the calculation to avoid multiplication overflow, and
use the corresponding define for divide.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: CPPC: Add u64 casts to avoid overflowing
The fields of the _CPC object are unsigned 32-bits values.
To avoid overflows while using _CPC's values, add 'u64' casts.
