In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: Fix use-after-free issues
do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or
asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails.
Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd() such that it does not dereference 'cmd' nor
'rq' after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure that the request
has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/sseu: fix max_subslices array-index-out-of-bounds access
It seems that commit bc3c5e0809ae ("drm/i915/sseu: Don't try to store EU
mask internally in UAPI format") exposed a potential out-of-bounds
access, reported by UBSAN as following on a laptop with a gen 11 i915
card:
UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/gt/intel_sseu.c:65:27

According to the definition of sseu_dev_info, eu_mask->hsw is limited to
a maximum of GEN_MAX_SS_PER_HSW_SLICE (6) sub-slices, but
gen11_sseu_info_init() can potentially set 8 sub-slices, in the
!IS_JSL_EHL(gt->i915) case.
Fix this by reserving up to 8 slots for max_subslices in the eu_mask
struct.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: fix NULL-ptr deref in offchan check
If, e.g. in AP mode, the link was already created by userspace
but not activated yet, it has a chandef but the chandef isn't
valid and has no channel. Check for this and ignore this link.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i40e: Fix kernel crash during reboot when adapter is in recovery mode
If the driver detects during probe that firmware is in recovery
mode then i40e_init_recovery_mode() is called and the rest of
probe function is skipped including pci_set_drvdata(). Subsequent
i40e_shutdown() called during shutdown/reboot dereferences NULL
pointer as pci_get_drvdata() returns NULL.
To fix call pci_set_drvdata() also during entering to recovery mode.
Reproducer:
1) Lets have i40e NIC with firmware in recovery mode
2) Run reboot
Result:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: avoid potential UAF in nvmet_req_complete()
An nvme target ->queue_response() operation implementation may free the
request passed as argument. Such implementation potentially could result
in a use after free of the request pointer when percpu_ref_put() is
called in nvmet_req_complete().
Avoid such problem by using a local variable to save the sq pointer
before calling __nvmet_req_complete(), thus avoiding dereferencing the
req pointer after that function call.
