In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix RPC client cleaned up the freed pipefs dentries
RPC client pipefs dentries cleanup is in separated rpc_remove_pipedir()
workqueue,which takes care about pipefs superblock locking.
In some special scenarios, when kernel frees the pipefs sb of the
current client and immediately alloctes a new pipefs sb,
rpc_remove_pipedir function would misjudge the existence of pipefs
sb which is not the one it used to hold. As a result,
the rpc_remove_pipedir would clean the released freed pipefs dentries.
To fix this issue, rpc_remove_pipedir should check whether the
current pipefs sb is consistent with the original pipefs sb.
This error can be catched by KASAN:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/jfs: Add validity check for db_maxag and db_agpref
Both db_maxag and db_agpref are used as the index of the
db_agfree array, but there is currently no validity check for
db_maxag and db_agpref, which can lead to errors.
The following is related bug reported by Syzbot:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c:639:20
index 7936 is out of range for type 'atomic_t[128]'
Add checking that the values of db_maxag and db_agpref are valid
indexes for the db_agfree array.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in diAlloc
Currently there is not check against the agno of the iag while
allocating new inodes to avoid fragmentation problem. Added the check
which is required.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: Fix possible null-ptr-deref when assigning a stream
While AudioDSP drivers assign streams exclusively of HOST or LINK type,
nothing blocks a user to attempt to assign a COUPLED stream. As
supplied substream instance may be a stub, what is the case when
code-loading, such scenario ends with null-ptr-deref.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: config: fix iteration issue in 'usb_get_bos_descriptor()'
The BOS descriptor defines a root descriptor and is the base descriptor for
accessing a family of related descriptors.
Function 'usb_get_bos_descriptor()' encounters an iteration issue when
skipping the 'USB_DT_DEVICE_CAPABILITY' descriptor type. This results in
the same descriptor being read repeatedly.
To address this issue, a 'goto' statement is introduced to ensure that the
pointer and the amount read is updated correctly. This ensures that the
function iterates to the next descriptor instead of reading the same
descriptor repeatedly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Track xmit submission to PTP WQ after populating metadata map
Ensure the skb is available in metadata mapping to skbs before tracking the
metadata index for detecting undelivered CQEs. If the metadata index is put
in the tracking list before putting the skb in the map, the metadata index
might be used for detecting undelivered CQEs before the relevant skb is
available in the map, which can lead to a null-ptr-deref.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wangxun: fix kernel panic due to null pointer
When the device uses a custom subsystem vendor ID, the function
wx_sw_init() returns before the memory of 'wx->mac_table' is allocated.
The null pointer will causes the kernel panic.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: stop the device in bond_setup_by_slave()
Commit 9eed321cde22 ("net: lapbether: only support ethernet devices")
has been able to keep syzbot away from net/lapb, until today.
In the following splat [1], the issue is that a lapbether device has
been created on a bonding device without members. Then adding a non
ARPHRD_ETHER member forced the bonding master to change its type.
The fix is to make sure we call dev_close() in bond_setup_by_slave()
so that the potential linked lapbether devices (or any other devices
having assumptions on the physical device) are removed.
A similar bug has been addressed in commit 40baec225765
("bonding: fix panic on non-ARPHRD_ETHER enslave failure")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix racy may inline data check in dio write
syzbot reports that the following warning from ext4_iomap_begin()
triggers as of the commit referenced below:
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(ext4_has_inline_data(inode)))
return -ERANGE;
This occurs during a dio write, which is never expected to encounter
an inode with inline data. To enforce this behavior,
ext4_dio_write_iter() checks the current inline state of the inode
and clears the MAY_INLINE_DATA state flag to either fall back to
buffered writes, or enforce that any other writers in progress on
the inode are not allowed to create inline data.
The problem is that the check for existing inline data and the state
flag can span a lock cycle. For example, if the ilock is originally
locked shared and subsequently upgraded to exclusive, another writer
may have reacquired the lock and created inline data before the dio
write task acquires the lock and proceeds.
The commit referenced below loosens the lock requirements to allow
some forms of unaligned dio writes to occur under shared lock, but
AFAICT the inline data check was technically already racy for any
dio write that would have involved a lock cycle. Regardless, lift
clearing of the state bit to the same lock critical section that
checks for preexisting inline data on the inode to close the race.
