In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to avoid use-after-free issue in f2fs_filemap_fault
syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in f2fs_filemap_fault+0xd1/0x2c0 fs/f2fs/file.c:49

The root cause is: in f2fs_filemap_fault(), vmf->vma may be not alive after
filemap_fault(), so it may cause use-after-free issue when accessing
vmf->vma->vm_flags in trace_f2fs_filemap_fault(). So it needs to keep vm_flags
in separated temporary variable for tracepoint use.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
backlight: hx8357: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
The "im" pins are optional. Add missing check in the hx8357_probe().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: usbtv: Remove useless locks in usbtv_video_free()
Remove locks calls in usbtv_video_free() because
are useless and may led to a deadlock as reported here:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/x/bisect.txt?x=166dc872180000
Also remove usbtv_stop() call since it will be called when
unregistering the device.
Before 'c838530d230b' this issue would only be noticed if you
disconnect while streaming and now it is noticeable even when
disconnecting while not streaming.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: ttpci: fix two memleaks in budget_av_attach
When saa7146_register_device and saa7146_vv_init fails, budget_av_attach
should free the resources it allocates, like the error-handling of
ttpci_budget_init does. Besides, there are two fixme comment refers to
such deallocations.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: go7007: fix a memleak in go7007_load_encoder
In go7007_load_encoder, bounce(i.e. go->boot_fw), is allocated without
a deallocation thereafter. After the following call chain:
saa7134_go7007_init
|-> go7007_boot_encoder
|-> go7007_load_encoder
|-> kfree(go)
go is freed and thus bounce is leaked.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-frontends: avoid stack overflow warnings with clang
A previous patch worked around a KASAN issue in stv0367, now a similar
problem showed up with clang:
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367.c:1222:12: error: stack frame size (3624) exceeds limit (2048) in 'stv0367ter_set_frontend' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
1214 | static int stv0367ter_set_frontend(struct dvb_frontend *fe)
Rework the stv0367_writereg() function to be simpler and mark both
register access functions as noinline_for_stack so the temporary
i2c_msg structures do not get duplicated on the stack when KASAN_STACK
is enabled.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imx: csc/scaler: fix v4l2_ctrl_handler memory leak
Free the memory allocated in v4l2_ctrl_handler_init on release.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-mem2mem: fix a memleak in v4l2_m2m_register_entity
The entity->name (i.e. name) is allocated in v4l2_m2m_register_entity
but isn't freed in its following error-handling paths. This patch
adds such deallocation to prevent memleak of entity->name.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-tpg: fix some memleaks in tpg_alloc
In tpg_alloc, resources should be deallocated in each and every
error-handling paths, since they are allocated in for statements.
Otherwise there would be memleaks because tpg_free is called only when
tpg_alloc return 0.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix NULL domain on device release
In the kdump kernel, the IOMMU operates in deferred_attach mode. In this
mode, info->domain may not yet be assigned by the time the release_device
function is called. It leads to the following crash in the crash kernel:

Use the release_domain mechanism to fix it. The scalable mode context
entry which is not part of release domain should be cleared in
release_device().
