The bug occurs when the dbAllocDmapLev()function attempts to access
dp->tree.stree[leafidx + LEAFIND] while the leafidx value is negative.
To rectify this, the patch introduces a safeguard within the
dbAllocDmapLev() function. A check has been added to verify if leafidx is
negative. If it is, the function immediately returns an I/O error, preventing
any further execution that could potentially cause harm.
Tested via syzbot.

Following process will trigger an infinite loop in ubi_wl_put_peb():

Fix it by:
1) Letting ubi_wl_put_peb() returns directly if wearl leveling entry has
been removed from 'ubi->lookuptbl'.
2) Using 'ubi->wl_lock' protecting wl entry deletion to preventing an
use-after-free problem for wl entry in ubi_wl_put_peb().

drm/amdgpu/gfx: disable gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq only when enabling legacy gfx ras
gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq is only enabled when legacy gfx ras is assert.
So in gfx_v9_0_hw_fini, interrupt disablement for cp_ecc_error_irq
should be executed under such condition, otherwise, an amdgpu_irq_put
calltrace will occur.

The problem is that the ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error in the
loop which in the alloc_wbufs(), then the wbuf->buf and wbuf->inodes
that were successfully alloced before are not freed.
Fix it by adding error hanging path in alloc_wbufs() which frees
the memory alloced before when ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
FS: JFS: Fix null-ptr-deref Read in txBegin
Syzkaller reported an issue where txBegin may be called
on a superblock in a read-only mounted filesystem which leads
to NULL pointer deref. This could be solved by checking if
the filesystem is read-only before calling txBegin, and returning
with appropiate error code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: cx23885: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug in buffer_prepare() and buffer_finish()
When the driver calls cx23885_risc_buffer() to prepare the buffer, the
function call dma_alloc_coherent may fail, resulting in a empty buffer
risc->cpu. Later when we free the buffer or access the buffer, null ptr
deref is triggered.
This bug is similar to the following one:
https://git.linuxtv.org/media_stage.git/commit/?id=2b064d91440b33fba5b452f2d1b31f13ae911d71.
We believe the bug can be also dynamically triggered from user side.
Similarly, we fix this by checking the return value of cx23885_risc_buffer()
and the value of risc->cpu before buffer free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla4xxx: Add length check when parsing nlattrs
There are three places that qla4xxx parses nlattrs:
- qla4xxx_set_chap_entry()
- qla4xxx_iface_set_param()
- qla4xxx_sysfs_ddb_set_param()
and each of them directly converts the nlattr to specific pointer of
structure without length checking. This could be dangerous as those
attributes are not validated and a malformed nlattr (e.g., length 0) could
result in an OOB read that leaks heap dirty data.
Add the nla_len check before accessing the nlattr data and return EINVAL if
the length check fails.
