In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iwlwifi: mvm: Fix possible NULL dereference
In __iwl_mvm_remove_time_event() check that 'te_data->vif' is NULL
before dereferencing it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: break out if skb_header_pointer returns NULL in sctp_rcv_ootb
We should always check if skb_header_pointer's return is NULL before
using it, otherwise it may cause null-ptr-deref, as syzbot reported:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbe: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ixgbe_xdp_setup
The ixgbe driver currently generates a NULL pointer dereference with
some machine (online cpus < 63). This is due to the fact that the
maximum value of num_xdp_queues is nr_cpu_ids. Code is in
"ixgbe_set_rss_queues"".
Here's how the problem repeats itself:
Some machine (online cpus < 63), And user set num_queues to 63 through
ethtool. Code is in the "ixgbe_set_channels",
adapter->ring_feature[RING_F_FDIR].limit = count;
It becomes 63.
When user use xdp, "ixgbe_set_rss_queues" will set queues num.
adapter->num_rx_queues = rss_i;
adapter->num_tx_queues = rss_i;
adapter->num_xdp_queues = ixgbe_xdp_queues(adapter);
And rss_i's value is from
f = &adapter->ring_feature[RING_F_FDIR];
rss_i = f->indices = f->limit;
So "num_rx_queues" > "num_xdp_queues", when run to "ixgbe_xdp_setup",
for (i = 0; i < adapter->num_rx_queues; i++)
if (adapter->xdp_ring[i]->xsk_umem)
It leads to panic.

So I fix ixgbe_max_channels so that it will not allow a setting of queues
to be higher than the num_online_cpus(). And when run to ixgbe_xdp_setup,
take the smaller value of num_rx_queues and num_xdp_queues.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: flower: protect fl_walk() with rcu
Patch that refactored fl_walk() to use idr_for_each_entry_continue_ul()
also removed rcu protection of individual filters which causes following
use-after-free when filter is deleted concurrently. Fix fl_walk() to obtain
rcu read lock while iterating and taking the filter reference and temporary
release the lock while calling arg->fn() callback that can sleep.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipack: ipoctal: fix module reference leak
A reference to the carrier module was taken on every open but was only
released once when the final reference to the tty struct was dropped.
Fix this by taking the module reference and initialising the tty driver
data when installing the tty.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: betop: fix slab-out-of-bounds Write in betop_probe
Syzbot reported slab-out-of-bounds Write bug in hid-betopff driver.
The problem is the driver assumes the device must have an input report but
some malicious devices violate this assumption.
So this patch checks hid_device's input is non empty before it's been used.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (w83792d) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field
If driver read val value sufficient for
(val & 0x08) && (!(val & 0x80)) && ((val & 0x7) == ((val >> 4) & 0x7))
from device then Null pointer dereference occurs.
(It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers)
Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to
devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients().
The patch fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by removing lm75[].
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac80211: fix use-after-free in CCMP/GCMP RX
When PN checking is done in mac80211, for fragmentation we need
to copy the PN to the RX struct so we can later use it to do a
comparison, since commit bf30ca922a0c ("mac80211: check defrag
PN against current frame").
Unfortunately, in that commit I used the 'hdr' variable without
it being necessarily valid, so use-after-free could occur if it
was necessary to reallocate (parts of) the frame.
Fix this by reloading the variable after the code that results
in the reallocations, if any.
This fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214401.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: fix missing sev_decommission in sev_receive_start
DECOMMISSION the current SEV context if binding an ASID fails after
RECEIVE_START. Per AMD's SEV API, RECEIVE_START generates a new guest
context and thus needs to be paired with DECOMMISSION:
The RECEIVE_START command is the only command other than the LAUNCH_START
command that generates a new guest context and guest handle.
The missing DECOMMISSION can result in subsequent SEV launch failures,
as the firmware leaks memory and might not able to allocate more SEV
guest contexts in the future.
Note, LAUNCH_START suffered the same bug, but was previously fixed by
commit 934002cd660b ("KVM: SVM: Call SEV Guest Decommission if ASID
binding fails").
