In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slab_common: fix possible double free of kmem_cache
When doing slub_debug test, kfence's 'test_memcache_typesafe_by_rcu'
kunit test case cause a use-after-free error:

The cause is inside kmem_cache_destroy():
kmem_cache_destroy
acquire lock/mutex
shutdown_cache
schedule_work(kmem_cache_release) (if RCU flag set)
release lock/mutex
kmem_cache_release (if RCU flag not set)
In some certain timing, the scheduled work could be run before
the next RCU flag checking, which can then get a wrong value
and lead to double kmem_cache_release().
Fix it by caching the RCU flag inside protected area, just like 'refcnt'

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix memory leak in __qlt_24xx_handle_abts()
Commit 8f394da36a36 ("scsi: qla2xxx: Drop TARGET_SCF_LOOKUP_LUN_FROM_TAG")
made the __qlt_24xx_handle_abts() function return early if
tcm_qla2xxx_find_cmd_by_tag() didn't find a command, but it missed to clean
up the allocated memory for the management command.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvlan: Fix out-of-bound bugs caused by unset skb->mac_header
If an AF_PACKET socket is used to send packets through ipvlan and the
default xmit function of the AF_PACKET socket is changed from
dev_queue_xmit() to packet_direct_xmit() via setsockopt() with the option
name of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, the skb->mac_header may not be reset and
remains as the initial value of 65535, this may trigger slab-out-of-bounds
bugs as following:
=================================================================
UG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2+0xdb/0x330 [ipvlan]
PU: 2 PID: 1768 Comm: raw_send Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.0.0-rc4+ #6

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x63/0xcd
The root cause is:
1. packet_snd() only reset skb->mac_header when sock->type is SOCK_RAW
and skb->protocol is not specified as in packet_parse_headers()
2. packet_direct_xmit() doesn't reset skb->mac_header as dev_queue_xmit()
In this case, skb->mac_header is 65535 when ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2() is
called. So when ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2() gets mac header with eth_hdr() which
use "skb->head + skb->mac_header", out-of-bound access occurs.
This patch replaces eth_hdr() with skb_eth_hdr() in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2()
and reset mac header in multicast to solve this out-of-bound bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlink_osf: fix possible bogus match in nf_osf_find()
nf_osf_find() incorrectly returns true on mismatch, this leads to
copying uninitialized memory area in nft_osf which can be used to leak
stale kernel stack data to userspace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Harden accesses to the reset domains
Accessing reset domains descriptors by the index upon the SCMI drivers
requests through the SCMI reset operations interface can potentially
lead to out-of-bound violations if the SCMI driver misbehave.
Add an internal consistency check before any such domains descriptors
accesses.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: ti: k3-udma-private: Fix refcount leak bug in of_xudma_dev_get()
We should call of_node_put() for the reference returned by
of_parse_phandle() in fail path or when it is not used anymore.
Here we only need to move the of_node_put() before the check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: topology: fix possible overflow in amu_fie_setup()
cpufreq_get_hw_max_freq() returns max frequency in kHz as *unsigned int*,
while freq_inv_set_max_ratio() gets passed this frequency in Hz as 'u64'.
Multiplying max frequency by 1000 can potentially result in overflow --
multiplying by 1000ULL instead should avoid that...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: slub: fix flush_cpu_slab()/__free_slab() invocations in task context.
Commit 5a836bf6b09f ("mm: slub: move flush_cpu_slab() invocations
__free_slab() invocations out of IRQ context") moved all flush_cpu_slab()
invocations to the global workqueue to avoid a problem related
with deactivate_slab()/__free_slab() being called from an IRQ context
on PREEMPT_RT kernels.
When the flush_all_cpu_locked() function is called from a task context
it may happen that a workqueue with WQ_MEM_RECLAIM bit set ends up
flushing the global workqueue, this will cause a dependency issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpiolib: cdev: Set lineevent_state::irq after IRQ register successfully
When running gpio test on nxp-ls1028 platform with below command
gpiomon --num-events=3 --rising-edge gpiochip1 25
There will be a warning trace as below:
Call trace:
free_irq+0x204/0x360
lineevent_free+0x64/0x70
gpio_ioctl+0x598/0x6a0
__arm64_sys_ioctl+0xb4/0x100
invoke_syscall+0x5c/0x130
......
el0t_64_sync+0x1a0/0x1a4
The reason of this issue is that calling request_threaded_irq()
function failed, and then lineevent_free() is invoked to release
the resource. Since the lineevent_state::irq was already set, so
the subsequent invocation of free_irq() would trigger the above
warning call trace. To fix this issue, set the lineevent_state::irq
after the IRQ register successfully.
