If DAT metadata file is corrupted on disk, there is a case where
req->pr_desc_bh is NULL and blocknr is 0 at nilfs_dat_commit_end() during
a b-tree operation that cascadingly updates ancestor nodes of the b-tree,
because nilfs_dat_commit_alloc() for a lower level block can initialize
the blocknr on the same DAT entry between nilfs_dat_prepare_end() and
nilfs_dat_commit_end().
If this happens, nilfs_dat_commit_end() calls nilfs_dat_commit_free()
without valid buffer heads in req->pr_desc_bh and req->pr_bitmap_bh, and
causes the NULL pointer dereference above in
nilfs_palloc_commit_free_entry() function, which leads to a crash.
Fix this by adding a NULL check on req->pr_desc_bh and req->pr_bitmap_bh
before nilfs_palloc_commit_free_entry() in nilfs_dat_commit_free().
This also calls nilfs_error() in that case to notify that there is a fatal
flaw in the filesystem metadata and prevent further operations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: can327: can327_feed_frame_to_netdev(): fix potential skb leak when netdev is down
In can327_feed_frame_to_netdev(), it did not free the skb when netdev
is down, and all callers of can327_feed_frame_to_netdev() did not free
allocated skb too. That would trigger skb leak.
Fix it by adding kfree_skb() in can327_feed_frame_to_netdev() when netdev
is down. Not tested, just compiled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (asus-ec-sensors) Add checks for devm_kcalloc
As the devm_kcalloc may return NULL, the return value needs to be checked
to avoid NULL poineter dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

If coretemp_add_core() gets an error then pdata->core_data[indx]
is already NULL and has been kfreed. Don't pass that to
sysfs_remove_group() as that will crash in sysfs_remove_group().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (coretemp) fix pci device refcount leak in nv1a_ram_new()
As comment of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() says, it returns
a pci device with refcount increment, when finish using it,
the caller must decrement the reference count by calling
pci_dev_put(). So call it after using to avoid refcount leak.

The cause of the issue is that sock_put() from __tun_detach() drops
last reference count for struct net, and then notifier_call_chain()
from netdev_state_change() accesses that struct net.
This patch fixes the issue by calling sock_put() from tun_detach()
after all necessary accesses for the struct net has done.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mdiobus: fix unbalanced node reference count
I got the following report while doing device(mscc-miim) load test
with CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST and CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC enabled:
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,
of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry:
attach overlay node /spi/soc@0/mdio@7107009c/ethernet-phy@0
If the 'fwnode' is not an acpi node, the refcount is get in
fwnode_mdiobus_phy_device_register(), but it has never been
put when the device is freed in the normal path. So call
fwnode_handle_put() in phy_device_release() to avoid leak.
If it's an acpi node, it has never been get, but it's put
in the error path, so call fwnode_handle_get() before
phy_device_register() to keep get/put operation balanced.
