In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Fix sleeping in atomic context for PREEMPT_RT
Commit bab1c299f3945ffe79 ("LoongArch: Fix sleeping in atomic context in
setup_tlb_handler()") changes the gfp flag from GFP_KERNEL to GFP_ATOMIC
for alloc_pages_node(). However, for PREEMPT_RT kernels we can still get
a "sleeping in atomic context" error:

This is because in PREEMPT_RT kernels normal spinlocks are replaced by
rt spinlocks and rt_spin_lock() will cause sleeping. Fix it by disabling
NUMA optimization completely for PREEMPT_RT kernels.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix f2fs_bug_on when uninstalling filesystem call f2fs_evict_inode.
creating a large files during checkpoint disable until it runs out of
space and then delete it, then remount to enable checkpoint again, and
then unmount the filesystem triggers the f2fs_bug_on as below:

The root cause is: creating large files during disable checkpoint
period results in not enough free segments, so when writing back root
inode will failed in f2fs_enable_checkpoint. When umount the file
system after enabling checkpoint, the root inode is dirty in
f2fs_evict_inode function, which triggers BUG_ON. The steps to
reproduce are as follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=f2fs.img bs=1M count=55
mount f2fs.img f2fs_dir -o checkpoint=disable:10%
dd if=/dev/zero of=big bs=1M count=50
sync
rm big
mount -o remount,checkpoint=enable f2fs_dir
umount f2fs_dir
Let's redirty inode when there is not free segments during checkpoint
is disable.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
leds: class: Protect brightness_show() with led_cdev->led_access mutex
There is NULL pointer issue observed if from Process A where hid device
being added which results in adding a led_cdev addition and later a
another call to access of led_cdev attribute from Process B can result
in NULL pointer issue.
Use mutex led_cdev->led_access to protect access to led->cdev and its
attribute inside brightness_show() and max_brightness_show() and also
update the comment for mutex that it should be used to protect the led
class device fields.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: platform: allegro-dvt: Fix possible memory leak in allocate_buffers_internal()
The buffer in the loop should be released under the exception path,
otherwise there may be a memory leak here.
To mitigate this, free the buffer when allegro_alloc_buffer fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi/libstub: Free correct pointer on failure
cmdline_ptr is an out parameter, which is not allocated by the function
itself, and likely points into the caller's stack.
cmdline refers to the pool allocation that should be freed when cleaning
up after a failure, so pass this instead to free_pool().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: ts2020: fix null-ptr-deref in ts2020_probe()
KASAN reported a null-ptr-deref issue when executing the following
command:

...
The cause of the problem is that when using sysfs to dynamically register
an i2c device, there is no platform data, but the probe process of ts2020
needs to use platform data, resulting in a null pointer being accessed.
Solve this problem by adding checks to platform data.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imx-jpeg: Ensure power suppliers be suspended before detach them
The power suppliers are always requested to suspend asynchronously,
dev_pm_domain_detach() requires the caller to ensure proper
synchronization of this function with power management callbacks.
otherwise the detach may led to kernel panic, like below:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: i2c: tc358743: Fix crash in the probe error path when using polling
If an error occurs in the probe() function, we should remove the polling
timer that was alarmed earlier, otherwise the timer is called with
arguments that are already freed, which results in a crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mtk-jpeg: Fix null-ptr-deref during unload module
The workqueue should be destroyed in mtk_jpeg_core.c since commit
09aea13ecf6f ("media: mtk-jpeg: refactor some variables"), otherwise
the below calltrace can be easily triggered.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: imx-jpeg: Set video drvdata before register video device
The video drvdata should be set before the video device is registered,
otherwise video_drvdata() may return NULL in the open() file ops, and led
to oops.
