In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: men_z188_adc: Fix a resource leak in an error handling path
If iio_device_register() fails, a previous ioremap() is left unbalanced.
Update the error handling path and add the missing iounmap() call, as
already done in the remove function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix crash due to out of bounds access into reg2btf_ids.
When commit e6ac2450d6de ("bpf: Support bpf program calling kernel function") added
kfunc support, it defined reg2btf_ids as a cheap way to translate the verifier
reg type to the appropriate btf_vmlinux BTF ID, however
commit c25b2ae13603 ("bpf: Replace PTR_TO_XXX_OR_NULL with PTR_TO_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL")
moved the __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX from the last member of bpf_reg_type enum to after
the base register types, and defined other variants using type flag
composition. However, now, the direct usage of reg->type to index into
reg2btf_ids may no longer fall into __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX range, and hence lead to
out of bounds access and kernel crash on dereference of bad pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ib_srp: Fix a deadlock
Remove the flush_workqueue(system_long_wq) call since flushing
system_long_wq is deadlock-prone and since that call is redundant with a
preceding cancel_work_sync()

The AcyMailing – An Ultimate Newsletter Plugin and Marketing Automation Solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the acym_extractArchive function in all versions up to, and including, 9.7.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.

The Themify Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized post duplication due to missing checks on the duplicate_page_ajaxify function in all versions up to, and including, 7.6.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to duplicate and view private or draft posts created by other users that otherwise shouldn't be accessible to them.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/fair: Fix fault in reweight_entity
Syzbot found a GPF in reweight_entity. This has been bisected to
commit 4ef0c5c6b5ba ("kernel/sched: Fix sched_fork() access an invalid
sched_task_group")
There is a race between sched_post_fork() and setpriority(PRIO_PGRP)
within a thread group that causes a null-ptr-deref in
reweight_entity() in CFS. The scenario is that the main process spawns
number of new threads, which then call setpriority(PRIO_PGRP, 0, -20),
wait, and exit. For each of the new threads the copy_process() gets
invoked, which adds the new task_struct and calls sched_post_fork()
for it.
In the above scenario there is a possibility that
setpriority(PRIO_PGRP) and set_one_prio() will be called for a thread
in the group that is just being created by copy_process(), and for
which the sched_post_fork() has not been executed yet. This will
trigger a null pointer dereference in reweight_entity(), as it will
try to access the run queue pointer, which hasn't been set.
Before the mentioned change the cfs_rq pointer for the task has been
set in sched_fork(), which is called much earlier in copy_process(),
before the new task is added to the thread_group. Now it is done in
the sched_post_fork(), which is called after that. To fix the issue
the remove the update_load param from the update_load param() function
and call reweight_task() only if the task flag doesn't have the
TASK_NEW flag set.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: fix oops caused by irqsoff latency tracer
The trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() require the caller to setup frame pointer
properly. This because these two functions use macro 'CALLER_ADDR1' (aka.
__builtin_return_address(1)) to acquire caller info. If the $fp is used
for other purpose, the code generated this macro (as below) could trigger
memory access fault.
0xffffffff8011510e <+80>: ld a1,-16(s0)
0xffffffff80115112 <+84>: ld s2,-8(a1) # <-- paging fault here

[ 0.046402][ T0] [<ffffffff80003b94>] restore_all+0x12/0x6e
This because the $fp(aka. $s0) register is not used as frame pointer in the
assembly entry code.
resume_kernel:
REG_L s0, TASK_TI_PREEMPT_COUNT(tp)
bnez s0, restore_all
REG_L s0, TASK_TI_FLAGS(tp)
andi s0, s0, _TIF_NEED_RESCHED
beqz s0, restore_all
call preempt_schedule_irq
j restore_all
To fix above issue, here we add one extra level wrapper for function
trace_hardirqs_{on,off}() so they can be safely called by low level entry
code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: prevent copying too big compressed lzo segment
Compressed length can be corrupted to be a lot larger than memory
we have allocated for buffer.
This will cause memcpy in copy_compressed_segment to write outside
of allocated memory.
This mostly results in stuck read syscall but sometimes when using
btrfs send can get #GP
