In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix potential 32-bit overflow when accessing ARRAY map element
If BPF array map is bigger than 4GB, element pointer calculation can
overflow because both index and elem_size are u32. Fix this everywhere
by forcing 64-bit multiplication. Extract this formula into separate
small helper and use it consistently in various places.
Speculative-preventing formula utilizing index_mask trick is left as is,
but explicit u64 casts are added in both places.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix info leak in wil_write_file_wmi()
The simple_write_to_buffer() function will succeed if even a single
byte is initialized. However, we need to initialize the whole buffer
to prevent information leaks. Just use memdup_user().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hinic: avoid kernel hung in hinic_get_stats64()
When using hinic device as a bond slave device, and reading device stats
of master bond device, the kernel may hung.
The kernel panic calltrace as follows:
Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks

__down+24

When getting device stats from bond, kernel will call bond_get_stats().
It first holds the spinlock bond->stats_lock, and then call
hinic_get_stats64() to collect hinic device's stats.
However, hinic_get_stats64() calls `down(&nic_dev->mgmt_lock)` to
protect its critical section, which may schedule current task out.
And if system is under high pressure, the task cannot be woken up
immediately, which eventually triggers kernel hung panic.
Since previous patch has replaced hinic_dev.tx_stats/rx_stats with local
variable in hinic_get_stats64(), there is nothing need to be protected
by lock, so just removing down()/up() is ok.

drm/mcde: Fix refcount leak in mcde_dsi_bind
Every iteration of for_each_available_child_of_node() decrements
the reference counter of the previous node. There is no decrement
when break out from the loop and results in refcount leak.
Add missing of_node_put() to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memory bounds
Presently ima_get_kexec_buffer() doesn't check if the previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer lies outside the addressable memory range. This can result
in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the
ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel.
The panic is usually of the form below:
$ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G'
