In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mv88e6060: prevent crash on an unused port
If the port isn't a CPU port nor a user port, 'cpu_dp'
is a null pointer and a crash happened on dereferencing
it in mv88e6060_setup_port():

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: possible module reference underflow in error path
dst->ops is set on when nft_expr_clone() fails, but module refcount has
not been bumped yet, therefore nft_expr_destroy() leads to module
reference underflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda: Fix potential buffer overflow by snprintf()
snprintf() returns the would-be-filled size when the string overflows
the given buffer size, hence using this value may result in the buffer
overflow (although it's unrealistic).
This patch replaces with a safer version, scnprintf() for papering
over such a potential issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix reset error handling
Do not call iavf_close in iavf_reset_task error handling. Doing so can
lead to double call of napi_disable, which can lead to deadlock there.
Removing VF would lead to iavf_remove task being stuck, because it
requires crit_lock, which is held by iavf_close.
Call iavf_disable_vf if reset fail, so that driver will clean up
remaining invalid resources.
During rapid VF resets, HW can fail to setup VF mailbox. Wrong
error handling can lead to iavf_remove being stuck with:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/sun4i: dsi: Prevent underflow when computing packet sizes
Currently, the packet overhead is subtracted using unsigned arithmetic.
With a short sync pulse, this could underflow and wrap around to near
the maximal u16 value. Fix this by using signed subtraction. The call to
max() will correctly handle any negative numbers that are produced.
Apply the same fix to the other timings, even though those subtractions
are less likely to underflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/meson: Fix refcount bugs in meson_vpu_has_available_connectors()
In this function, there are two refcount leak bugs:
(1) when breaking out of for_each_endpoint_of_node(), we need call
the of_node_put() for the 'ep';
(2) we should call of_node_put() for the reference returned by
of_graph_get_remote_port() when it is not used anymore.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
stmmac: intel: Add a missing clk_disable_unprepare() call in intel_eth_pci_remove()
Commit 09f012e64e4b ("stmmac: intel: Fix clock handling on error and remove
paths") removed this clk_disable_unprepare()
This was partly revert by commit ac322f86b56c ("net: stmmac: Fix clock
handling on remove path") which removed this clk_disable_unprepare()
because:
"
While unloading the dwmac-intel driver, clk_disable_unprepare() is
being called twice in stmmac_dvr_remove() and
intel_eth_pci_remove(). This causes kernel panic on the second call.
"
However later on, commit 5ec55823438e8 ("net: stmmac: add clocks management
for gmac driver") has updated stmmac_dvr_remove() which do not call
clk_disable_unprepare() anymore.
So this call should now be called from intel_eth_pci_remove().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: genl: fix error path memory leak in policy dumping
If construction of the array of policies fails when recording
non-first policy we need to unwind.
netlink_policy_dump_add_policy() itself also needs fixing as
it currently gives up on error without recording the allocated
pointer in the pstate pointer.
