Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.10.234 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: bcm63xx_udc: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Fix mlx5_ib_get_hw_stats when used for device
Currently, when mlx5_ib_get_hw_stats() is used for device (port_num = 0),
there is a special handling in order to use the correct counters, but,
port_num is being passed down the stack without any change. Also, some
functions assume that port_num >=1. As a result, the following oops can
occur.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffff89510294f1a8
