In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ar5523: enable proper endpoint verification
Syzkaller reports [1] hitting a warning about an endpoint in use
not having an expected type to it.
Fix the issue by checking for the existence of all proper
endpoints with their according types intact.
Sadly, this patch has not been tested on real hardware.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix verifier assumptions about socket->sk
The verifier assumes that 'sk' field in 'struct socket' is valid
and non-NULL when 'socket' pointer itself is trusted and non-NULL.
That may not be the case when socket was just created and
passed to LSM socket_accept hook.
Fix this verifier assumption and adjust tests.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: carl9170: add a proper sanity check for endpoints
Syzkaller reports [1] hitting a warning which is caused by presence
of a wrong endpoint type at the URB sumbitting stage. While there
was a check for a specific 4th endpoint, since it can switch types
between bulk and interrupt, other endpoints are trusted implicitly.
Similar warning is triggered in a couple of other syzbot issues [2].
Fix the issue by doing a comprehensive check of all endpoints
taking into account difference between high- and full-speed
configuration.

[2] Related syzkaller crashes:
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/perf: hisi: hns3: Fix out-of-bound access when valid event group
The perf tool allows users to create event groups through following
cmd [1], but the driver does not check whether the array index is out
of bounds when writing data to the event_group array. If the number of
events in an event_group is greater than HNS3_PMU_MAX_HW_EVENTS, the
memory write overflow of event_group array occurs.
Add array index check to fix the possible array out of bounds violation,
and return directly when write new events are written to array bounds.
There are 9 different events in an event_group.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: bridge: cdns-mhdp8546: Fix possible null pointer dereference
In cdns_mhdp_atomic_enable(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is
assigned to mhdp_state->current_mode, and there is a dereference of it in
drm_mode_set_name(), which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference on
failure of drm_mode_duplicate().
Fix this bug add a check of mhdp_state->current_mode.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Add 0 size check to mtk_drm_gem_obj
Add a check to mtk_drm_gem_init if we attempt to allocate a GEM object
of 0 bytes. Currently, no such check exists and the kernel will panic if
a userspace application attempts to allocate a 0x0 GBM buffer.
Tested by attempting to allocate a 0x0 GBM buffer on an MT8188 and
verifying that we now return EINVAL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: kirkwood: Fix potential NULL dereference
In kirkwood_dma_hw_params() mv_mbus_dram_info() returns NULL if
CONFIG_PLAT_ORION macro is not defined.
Fix this bug by adding NULL check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: Assign dummy when codec not specified for a DAI link
MediaTek sound card drivers are checking whether a DAI link is present
and used on a board to assign the correct parameters and this is done
by checking the codec DAI names at probe time.
If no real codec is present, assign the dummy codec to the DAI link
to avoid NULL pointer during string comparison.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix potential index out of bounds in color transformation function
Fixes index out of bounds issue in the color transformation function.
The issue could occur when the index 'i' exceeds the number of transfer
function points (TRANSFER_FUNC_POINTS).
The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the
transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, an error message is
logged and the function returns false to indicate an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fec: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks
There is a deadlock issue found in sungem driver, please refer to the
commit ac0a230f719b ("eth: sungem: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid
deadlocks"). The root cause of the issue is that netpoll is in atomic
context and disable_irq() is called by .ndo_poll_controller interface
of sungem driver, however, disable_irq() might sleep. After analyzing
the implementation of fec_poll_controller(), the fec driver should have
the same issue. Due to the fec driver uses NAPI for TX completions, the
.ndo_poll_controller is unnecessary to be implemented in the fec driver,
so fec_poll_controller() can be safely removed.
