In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sata_fsl: fix UAF in sata_fsl_port_stop when rmmod sata_fsl
When the `rmmod sata_fsl.ko` command is executed in the PPC64 GNU/Linux,
a bug is reported:
==================================================================

==================================================================
The triggering of the BUG is shown in the following stack:
driver_detach
device_release_driver_internal
__device_release_driver
drv->remove(dev) --> platform_drv_remove/platform_remove
drv->remove(dev) --> sata_fsl_remove
iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base); <---- unmap
kfree(host_priv); <---- free
devres_release_all
release_nodes
dr->node.release(dev, dr->data) --> ata_host_stop
ap->ops->port_stop(ap) --> sata_fsl_port_stop
ioread32(hcr_base + HCONTROL) <---- UAF
host->ops->host_stop(host)
The iounmap(host_priv->hcr_base) and kfree(host_priv) functions should
not be executed in drv->remove. These functions should be executed in
host_stop after port_stop. Therefore, we move these functions to the
new function sata_fsl_host_stop and bind the new function to host_stop.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/amdgpu: fix potential memleak
In function amdgpu_get_xgmi_hive, when kobject_init_and_add failed
There is a potential memleak if not call kobject_put.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/amdkfd: Fix kernel panic when reset failed and been triggered again
In SRIOV configuration, the reset may failed to bring asic back to normal but stop cpsch
already been called, the start_cpsch will not be called since there is no resume in this
case. When reset been triggered again, driver should avoid to do uninitialization again.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Fix the following NULL pointer dereference in mt7915_get_phy_mode

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx4_en: Fix an use-after-free bug in mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources()
In mlx4_en_try_alloc_resources(), mlx4_en_copy_priv() is called and
tmp->tx_cq will be freed on the error path of mlx4_en_copy_priv().
After that mlx4_en_alloc_resources() is called and there is a dereference
of &tmp->tx_cq[t][i] in mlx4_en_alloc_resources(), which could lead to
a use after free problem on failure of mlx4_en_copy_priv().
Fix this bug by adding a check of mlx4_en_copy_priv()
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations
(e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the
inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or
the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_MLX4_EN=m show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qlogic: qlcnic: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in qlcnic_83xx_add_rings()
In qlcnic_83xx_add_rings(), the indirect function of
ahw->hw_ops->alloc_mbx_args will be called to allocate memory for
cmd.req.arg, and there is a dereference of it in qlcnic_83xx_add_rings(),
which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of the
indirect function like qlcnic_83xx_alloc_mbx_args().
Fix this bug by adding a check of alloc_mbx_args(), this patch
imitates the logic of mbx_cmd()'s failure handling.
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix page frag corruption on page fault
Steffen reported a TCP stream corruption for HTTP requests
served by the apache web-server using a cifs mount-point
and memory mapping the relevant file.
The root cause is quite similar to the one addressed by
commit 20eb4f29b602 ("net: fix sk_page_frag() recursion from
memory reclaim"). Here the nested access to the task page frag
is caused by a page fault on the (mmapped) user-space memory
buffer coming from the cifs file.
The page fault handler performs an smb transaction on a different
socket, inside the same process context. Since sk->sk_allaction
for such socket does not prevent the usage for the task_frag,
the nested allocation modify "under the hood" the page frag
in use by the outer sendmsg call, corrupting the stream.
The overall relevant stack trace looks like the following:

The cifs filesystem rightfully sets sk_allocations to GFP_NOFS,
we can avoid the nesting using the sk page frag for allocation
lacking the __GFP_FS flag. Do not define an additional mm-helper
for that, as this is strictly tied to the sk page frag usage.
v1 -> v2:
- use a stricted sk_page_frag() check instead of reordering the
code (Eric)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/a6xx: Allocate enough space for GMU registers
In commit 142639a52a01 ("drm/msm/a6xx: fix crashstate capture for
A650") we changed a6xx_get_gmu_registers() to read 3 sets of
registers. Unfortunately, we didn't change the memory allocation for
the array. That leads to a KASAN warning (this was on the chromeos-5.4
kernel, which has the problematic commit backported to it):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix wrong list_del in smc_lgr_cleanup_early
smc_lgr_cleanup_early() meant to delete the link
group from the link group list, but it deleted
the list head by mistake.
This may cause memory corruption since we didn't
remove the real link group from the list and later
memseted the link group structure.
We got a list corruption panic when testing:

octeontx2-af: Fix a memleak bug in rvu_mbox_init()
In rvu_mbox_init(), mbox_regions is not freed or passed out
