In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: fix soft lockup in the OOM process
A soft lockup issue was found in the product with about 56,000 tasks were
in the OOM cgroup, it was traversing them when the soft lockup was
triggered.

This is because thousands of processes are in the OOM cgroup, it takes a
long time to traverse all of them. As a result, this lead to soft lockup
in the OOM process.
To fix this issue, call 'cond_resched' in the 'mem_cgroup_scan_tasks'
function per 1000 iterations. For global OOM, call
'touch_softlockup_watchdog' per 1000 iterations to avoid this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix call trace in setup_tx_descriptors
After PF reset and ethtool -t there was call trace in dmesg
sometimes leading to panic. When there was some time, around 5
seconds, between reset and test there were no errors.
Problem was that pf reset calls i40e_vsi_close in prep_for_reset
and ethtool -t calls i40e_vsi_close in diag_test. If there was not
enough time between those commands the second i40e_vsi_close starts
before previous i40e_vsi_close was done which leads to crash.
Add check to diag_test if pf is in reset and don't start offline
tests if it is true.
Add netif_info("testing failed") into unhappy path of i40e_diag_test()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: Fix signed integer overflow in l2tp_ip6_sendmsg
When len >= INT_MAX - transhdrlen, ulen = len + transhdrlen will be
overflow. To fix, we can follow what udpv6 does and subtract the
transhdrlen from the max.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix memory leak in nfcmrvl_play_deferred
Similar to the handling of play_deferred in commit 19cfe912c37b
("Bluetooth: btusb: Fix memory leak in play_deferred"), we thought
a patch might be needed here as well.
Currently usb_submit_urb is called directly to submit deferred tx
urbs after unanchor them.
So the usb_giveback_urb_bh would failed to unref it in usb_unanchor_urb
and cause memory leak.
Put those urbs in tx_anchor to avoid the leak, and also fix the error
handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo()
In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of
ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer,
there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get
reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to
'&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gic-v3: Fix refcount leak in gic_populate_ppi_partitions
of_find_node_by_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: add reserved GDT blocks check
We capture a NULL pointer issue when resizing a corrupt ext4 image which
is freshly clear resize_inode feature (not run e2fsck). It could be
simply reproduced by following steps. The problem is because of the
resize_inode feature was cleared, and it will convert the filesystem to
meta_bg mode in ext4_resize_fs(), but the es->s_reserved_gdt_blocks was
not reduced to zero, so could we mistakenly call reserve_backup_gdb()
and passing an uninitialized resize_inode to it when adding new group
descriptors.
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda 3G
tune2fs -O ^resize_inode /dev/sda #forget to run requested e2fsck
mount /dev/sda /mnt
resize2fs /dev/sda 8G

The fix is simple, add a check in ext4_resize_begin() to make sure that
the es->s_reserved_gdt_blocks is zero when the resize_inode feature is
disabled.
