In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: stm32: spdifrx: fix dma channel release in stm32_spdifrx_remove
In case of error when requesting ctrl_chan DMA channel, ctrl_chan is not
null. So the release of the dma channel leads to the following issue:
[ 4.879000] st,stm32-spdifrx 500d0000.audio-controller:
dma_request_slave_channel error -19
[ 4.888975] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference
at virtual address 000000000000003d
[...]

[ 5.109494] stm32_spdifrx_probe+0x320/0x4c4 [snd_soc_stm32_spdifrx]
To avoid this issue, release channel only if the pointer is valid.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in __smc_create()
Thanks to commit 4bbd360a5084 ("socket: Print pf->create() when
it does not clear sock->sk on failure."), syzbot found an issue with AF_SMC:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix missing locking causing hanging calls
If a call gets aborted (e.g. because kafs saw a signal) between it being
queued for connection and the I/O thread picking up the call, the abort
will be prioritised over the connection and it will be removed from
local->new_client_calls by rxrpc_disconnect_client_call() without a lock
being held. This may cause other calls on the list to disappear if a race
occurs.
Fix this by taking the client_call_lock when removing a call from whatever
list its ->wait_link happens to be on.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: arc: fix the device for dma_map_single/dma_unmap_single
The ndev->dev and pdev->dev aren't the same device, use ndev->dev.parent
which has dma_mask, ndev->dev.parent is just pdev->dev.
Or it would cause the following issue:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix kernel crash when uninstalling driver
When the driver is uninstalled and the VF is disabled concurrently, a
kernel crash occurs. The reason is that the two actions call function
pci_disable_sriov(). The num_VFs is checked to determine whether to
release the corresponding resources. During the second calling, num_VFs
is not 0 and the resource release function is called. However, the
corresponding resource has been released during the first invoking.
Therefore, the problem occurs:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: xilinx: axienet: Enqueue Tx packets in dql before dmaengine starts
Enqueue packets in dql after dma engine starts causes race condition.
Tx transfer starts once dma engine is started and may execute dql dequeue
in completion before it gets queued. It results in following kernel crash
while running iperf stress test:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: enetc: allocate vf_state during PF probes
In the previous implementation, vf_state is allocated memory only when VF
is enabled. However, net_device_ops::ndo_set_vf_mac() may be called before
VF is enabled to configure the MAC address of VF. If this is the case,
enetc_pf_set_vf_mac() will access vf_state, resulting in access to a null
pointer. The simplified error log is as follows.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix a crash if blk_alloc_disk fails
If blk_alloc_disk fails, the variable md->disk is set to an error value.
cleanup_mapped_device will see that md->disk is non-NULL and it will
attempt to access it, causing a crash on this statement
"md->disk->private_data = NULL;".
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix potential out-of-bounds access on the first resume
Out-of-bounds access occurs if the fast device is expanded unexpectedly
before the first-time resume of the cache table. This happens because
expanding the fast device requires reloading the cache table for
cache_create to allocate new in-core data structures that fit the new
size, and the check in cache_preresume is not performed during the
first resume, leading to the issue.
Reproduce steps:
1. prepare component devices:
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
2. load a cache table of 512 cache blocks, and deliberately expand the
fast device before resuming the cache, making the in-core data
structures inadequate.
dmsetup create cache --notable
dmsetup reload cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
dmsetup reload cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup resume cdata
dmsetup resume cache
3. suspend the cache to write out the in-core dirty bitset and hint
array, leading to out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset at offset
0x40:
dmsetup suspend cache

Fix by checking the size change on the first resume.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm cache: fix out-of-bounds access to the dirty bitset when resizing
dm-cache checks the dirty bits of the cache blocks to be dropped when
shrinking the fast device, but an index bug in bitset iteration causes
out-of-bounds access.
Reproduce steps:
1. create a cache device of 1024 cache blocks (128 bytes dirty bitset)
dmsetup create cmeta --table "0 8192 linear /dev/sdc 0"
dmsetup create cdata --table "0 131072 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup create corig --table "0 524288 linear /dev/sdc 262144"
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mapper/cmeta bs=4k count=1 oflag=direct
dmsetup create cache --table "0 524288 cache /dev/mapper/cmeta \
/dev/mapper/cdata /dev/mapper/corig 128 2 metadata2 writethrough smq 0"
2. shrink the fast device to 512 cache blocks, triggering out-of-bounds
access to the dirty bitset (offset 0x80)
dmsetup suspend cache
dmsetup reload cdata --table "0 65536 linear /dev/sdc 8192"
dmsetup resume cdata
dmsetup resume cache
