ice: fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_unplug_aux_dev() on reset
Issuing a reset when the driver is loaded without RDMA support, will
results in a crash as it attempts to remove RDMA's non-existent auxbus

ice_unplug_aux_dev() checks pf->cdev_info->adev for NULL pointer, but
pf->cdev_info will also be NULL, leading to the deref in the trace above.
Introduce a flag to be set when the creation of the auxbus device is
successful, to avoid multiple NULL pointer checks in ice_unplug_aux_dev().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix memory corruption when FW resources change during ifdown
bnxt_set_dflt_rings() assumes that it is always called before any TC has
been created. So it doesn't take bp->num_tc into account and assumes
that it is always 0 or 1.
In the FW resource or capability change scenario, the FW will return
flags in bnxt_hwrm_if_change() that will cause the driver to
reinitialize and call bnxt_cancel_reservations(). This will lead to
bnxt_init_dflt_ring_mode() calling bnxt_set_dflt_rings() and bp->num_tc
may be greater than 1. This will cause bp->tx_ring[] to be sized too
small and cause memory corruption in bnxt_alloc_cp_rings().
Fix it by properly scaling the TX rings by bp->num_tc in the code
paths mentioned above. Add 2 helper functions to determine
bp->tx_nr_rings and bp->tx_nr_rings_per_tc.

sending descriptor to /dev/uhid can make hdev->dev.parent->parent to null

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: multitouch: fix slab out-of-bounds access in mt_report_fixup()
A malicious HID device can trigger a slab out-of-bounds during
mt_report_fixup() by passing in report descriptor smaller than
607 bytes. mt_report_fixup() attempts to patch byte offset 607
of the descriptor with 0x25 by first checking if byte offset
607 is 0x15 however it lacks bounds checks to verify if the
descriptor is big enough before conducting this check. Fix
this bug by ensuring the descriptor size is at least 608
bytes before accessing it.
Below is the KASAN splat after the out of bounds access happens:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: fix unregister_netdev call order in macb_remove()
When removing a macb device, the driver calls phy_exit() before
unregister_netdev(). This leads to a WARN from kernfs:
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernfs: can not remove 'attached_dev', no directory
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 27146 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:1683
Call trace:
kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xd8/0xf0

...
macb_remove+0x60/0x168 [macb]
platform_remove+0x5c/0x80
...
The warning happens because the PHY is being exited while the netdev
is still registered. The correct order is to unregister the netdev
before shutting down the PHY and cleaning up the MDIO bus.
Fix this by moving unregister_netdev() ahead of phy_exit() in
macb_remove().

Memory safety bugs present in Firefox ESR 140.2, Thunderbird ESR 140.2, Firefox 142 and Thunderbird 142. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox 143, Firefox ESR 140.3, Thunderbird 143, and Thunderbird 140.3.
