In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: xilinx: vcu: unregister pll_post only if registered correctly
If registration of pll_post is failed, it will be set to NULL or ERR,
unregistering same will fail with following call trace:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: reject malicious packets in ipv6_gso_segment()
syzbot was able to craft a packet with very long IPv6 extension headers
leading to an overflow of skb->transport_header.
This 16bit field has a limited range.
Add skb_reset_transport_header_careful() helper and use it
from ipv6_gso_segment()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pptp: ensure minimal skb length in pptp_xmit()
Commit aabc6596ffb3 ("net: ppp: Add bound checking for skb data
on ppp_sync_txmung") fixed ppp_sync_txmunge()
We need a similar fix in pptp_xmit(), otherwise we might
read uninit data as reported by syzbot.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/eeh: Make EEH driver device hotplug safe
Multiple race conditions existed between the PCIe hotplug driver and the
EEH driver, leading to a variety of kernel oopses of the same general
nature:
<pcie device unplug>
<eeh driver trigger>
<hotplug removal trigger>
<pcie tree reconfiguration>
<eeh recovery next step>
<oops in EEH driver bus iteration loop>
A second class of oops is also seen when the underlying bus disappears
during device recovery.
Refactor the EEH module to be PCI rescan and remove safe. Also clean
up a few minor formatting / readability issues.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Exit early on perf_mmap() fail
When perf_mmap() fails to allocate a buffer, it still invokes the
event_mapped() callback of the related event. On X86 this might increase
the perf_rdpmc_allowed reference counter. But nothing undoes this as
perf_mmap_close() is never called in this case, which causes another
reference count leak.
Return early on failure to prevent that.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
benet: fix BUG when creating VFs
benet crashes as soon as SRIOV VFs are created:

Fix it by freeing only after the lock has been released.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix Preauh_HashValue race condition
If client send multiple session setup requests to ksmbd,
Preauh_HashValue race condition could happen.
There is no need to free sess->Preauh_HashValue at session setup phase.
It can be freed together with session at connection termination phase.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference error in generate_encryptionkey
If client send two session setups with krb5 authenticate to ksmbd,
null pointer dereference error in generate_encryptionkey could happen.
sess->Preauth_HashValue is set to NULL if session is valid.
So this patch skip generate encryption key if session is valid.
