In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: prevent derefencing NULL ptr in pfn_section_valid()
Commit 5ec8e8ea8b77 ("mm/sparsemem: fix race in accessing
memory_section->usage") changed pfn_section_valid() to add a READ_ONCE()
call around "ms->usage" to fix a race with section_deactivate() where
ms->usage can be cleared. The READ_ONCE() call, by itself, is not enough
to prevent NULL pointer dereference. We need to check its value before
dereferencing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: cs_dsp: Use strnlen() on name fields in V1 wmfw files
Use strnlen() instead of strlen() on the algorithm and coefficient name
string arrays in V1 wmfw files.
In V1 wmfw files the name is a NUL-terminated string in a fixed-size
array. cs_dsp should protect against overrunning the array if the NUL
terminator is missing.

After setting FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_WITHDRAWN, wait for all the cookie lookups
to complete first, and then wait for fscache_cache->object_count == 0 to
avoid the cookie exiting after the volume has been freed and triggering
the above issue. Therefore call fscache_withdraw_volume() before calling
cachefiles_withdraw_objects().
This way, after setting FSCACHE_CACHE_IS_WITHDRAWN, only the following two
cases will occur:
1) fscache_begin_lookup fails in fscache_begin_volume_access().
2) fscache_withdraw_volume() will ensure that fscache_count_object() has
been executed before calling fscache_wait_for_objects().

The fscache_volume in cache->volumes must not have been freed yet, but its
reference count may be 0. So use the new fscache_try_get_volume() helper
function try to get its reference count.
If the reference count of fscache_volume is 0, fscache_put_volume() is
freeing it, so wait for it to be removed from cache->volumes.
If its reference count is not 0, call cachefiles_withdraw_volume() with
reference count protection to avoid the above issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: core: Fix duplicate endpoint bug by clearing reserved bits in the descriptor
Syzbot has identified a bug in usbcore (see the Closes: tag below)
caused by our assumption that the reserved bits in an endpoint
descriptor's bEndpointAddress field will always be 0. As a result of
the bug, the endpoint_is_duplicate() routine in config.c (and possibly
other routines as well) may believe that two descriptors are for
distinct endpoints, even though they have the same direction and
endpoint number. This can lead to confusion, including the bug
identified by syzbot (two descriptors with matching endpoint numbers
and directions, where one was interrupt and the other was bulk).
To fix the bug, we will clear the reserved bits in bEndpointAddress
when we parse the descriptor. (Note that both the USB-2.0 and USB-3.1
specs say these bits are "Reserved, reset to zero".) This requires us
to make a copy of the descriptor earlier in usb_parse_endpoint() and
use the copy instead of the original when checking for duplicates.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant
When SMP is enabled and spinlocks are actually functional then there is
a deadlock with the 'statelock' spinlock between ks8851_start_xmit_spi
and ks8851_irq:

This issue has not been identified earlier because tests were done on
a device with SMP disabled and so spinlocks were actually NOPs.
Now use spin_(un)lock_bh for TX queue related locking to avoid execution
of softirq work synchronously that would lead to a deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: fix null deref on system suspend entry
When system enters suspend with an active stream, SOF core
calls hw_params_upon_resume(). On Intel platforms with HDA DMA used
to manage the link DMA, this leads to call chain of
hda_dsp_set_hw_params_upon_resume()
-> hda_dsp_dais_suspend()
-> hda_dai_suspend()
-> hda_ipc4_post_trigger()
A bug is hit in hda_dai_suspend() as hda_link_dma_cleanup() is run first,
which clears hext_stream->link_substream, and then hda_ipc4_post_trigger()
is called with a NULL snd_pcm_substream pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: cs_dsp: Prevent buffer overrun when processing V2 alg headers
Check that all fields of a V2 algorithm header fit into the available
firmware data buffer.
The wmfw V2 format introduced variable-length strings in the algorithm
block header. This means the overall header length is variable, and the
position of most fields varies depending on the length of the string
fields. Each field must be checked to ensure that it does not overflow
the firmware data buffer.
As this ia bugfix patch, the fixes avoid making any significant change to
the existing code. This makes it easier to review and less likely to
introduce new bugs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: cs_dsp: Fix overflow checking of wmfw header
Fix the checking that firmware file buffer is large enough for the
wmfw header, to prevent overrunning the buffer.
The original code tested that the firmware data buffer contained
enough bytes for the sums of the size of the structs
wmfw_header + wmfw_adsp1_sizes + wmfw_footer
But wmfw_adsp1_sizes is only used on ADSP1 firmware. For ADSP2 and
Halo Core the equivalent struct is wmfw_adsp2_sizes, which is
4 bytes longer. So the length check didn't guarantee that there
are enough bytes in the firmware buffer for a header with
wmfw_adsp2_sizes.
This patch splits the length check into three separate parts. Each
of the wmfw_header, wmfw_adsp?_sizes and wmfw_footer are checked
separately before they are used.
