In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau/dispnv04: fix null pointer dereference in nv17_tv_get_hd_modes
In nv17_tv_get_hd_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is
assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference
on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). The same applies to drm_cvt_mode().
Add a check to avoid null pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: avoid using null object of framebuffer
Instead of using state->fb->obj[0] directly, get object from framebuffer
by calling drm_gem_fb_get_obj() and return error code when object is
null to avoid using null object of framebuffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-core: Fix null pointer dereference on error
If the ata_port_alloc() call in ata_host_alloc() fails,
ata_host_release() will get called.
However, the code in ata_host_release() tries to free ata_port struct
members unconditionally, which can lead to the following:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: fix validation of block size
Block size should be between 512 and PAGE_SIZE and be a power of 2. The current
check does not validate this, so update the check.
Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when
loaded with bs=1536 [1].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: qgroup: fix quota root leak after quota disable failure
If during the quota disable we fail when cleaning the quota tree or when
deleting the root from the root tree, we jump to the 'out' label without
ever dropping the reference on the quota root, resulting in a leak of the
root since fs_info->quota_root is no longer pointing to the root (we have
set it to NULL just before those steps).
Fix this by always doing a btrfs_put_root() call under the 'out' label.
This is a problem that exists since qgroups were first added in 2012 by
commit bed92eae26cc ("Btrfs: qgroup implementation and prototypes"), but
back then we missed a kfree on the quota root and free_extent_buffer()
calls on its root and commit root nodes, since back then roots were not
yet reference counted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: always initialize cqe.result
The spec doesn't mandate that the first two double words (aka results)
for the command queue entry need to be set to 0 when they are not
used (not specified). Though, the target implemention returns 0 for TCP
and FC but not for RDMA.
Let's make RDMA behave the same and thus explicitly initializing the
result field. This prevents leaking any data from the stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix possible deadlock in io_register_iowq_max_workers()
The io_register_iowq_max_workers() function calls io_put_sq_data(),
which acquires the sqd->lock without releasing the uring_lock.
Similar to the commit 009ad9f0c6ee ("io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock
before acquiring sqd->lock"), this can lead to a potential deadlock
situation.
To resolve this issue, the uring_lock is released before calling
io_put_sq_data(), and then it is re-acquired after the function call.
This change ensures that the locks are acquired in the correct
order, preventing the possibility of a deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fabrics: use reserved tag for reg read/write command
In some scenarios, if too many commands are issued by nvme command in
the same time by user tasks, this may exhaust all tags of admin_q. If
a reset (nvme reset or IO timeout) occurs before these commands finish,
reconnect routine may fail to update nvme regs due to insufficient tags,
which will cause kernel hang forever. In order to workaround this issue,
maybe we can let reg_read32()/reg_read64()/reg_write32() use reserved
tags. This maybe safe for nvmf:
1. For the disable ctrl path, we will not issue connect command
2. For the enable ctrl / fw activate path, since connect and reg_xx()
are called serially.
So the reserved tags may still be enough while reg_xx() use reserved tags.
