In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: Check num_codecs is not zero to avoid panic during probe
Following commit 13f58267cda3 ("ASoC: soc.h: don't create dummy
Component via COMP_DUMMY()"), COMP_DUMMY() became an array with zero
length, and only gets populated with the dummy struct after the card is
registered. Since the sound card driver's probe happens before the card
registration, accessing any of the members of a dummy component during
probe will result in undefined behavior.
This can be observed in the mt8188 and mt8195 machine sound drivers. By
omitting a dai link subnode in the sound card's node in the Devicetree,
the default uninitialized dummy codec is used, and when its dai_name
pointer gets passed to strcmp() it results in a null pointer dereference
and a kernel panic.
In addition to that, set_card_codec_info() in the generic helpers file,
mtk-soundcard-driver.c, will populate a dai link with a dummy codec when
a dai link node is present in DT but with no codec property.
The result is that at probe time, a dummy codec can either be
uninitialized with num_codecs = 0, or be an initialized dummy codec,
with num_codecs = 1 and dai_name = "snd-soc-dummy-dai". In order to
accommodate for both situations, check that num_codecs is not zero
before accessing the codecs' fields but still check for the codec's dai
name against "snd-soc-dummy-dai" as needed.
While at it, also drop the check that dai_name is not null in the mt8192
driver, introduced in commit 4d4e1b6319e5 ("ASoC: mediatek: mt8192:
Check existence of dai_name before dereferencing"), as it is actually
redundant given the preceding num_codecs != 0 check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/riscv-aplic: Prevent crash when MSI domain is missing
If the APLIC driver is probed before the IMSIC driver, the parent MSI
domain will be missing, which causes a NULL pointer dereference in
msi_create_device_irq_domain().
Avoid this by deferring probe until the parent MSI domain is available. Use
dev_err_probe() to avoid printing an error message when returning
-EPROBE_DEFER.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: hdmi: Avoid hang with debug registers when suspended
Trying to read /sys/kernel/debug/dri/1/hdmi1_regs
when the hdmi is disconnected results in a fatal system hang.
This is due to the pm suspend code disabling the dvp clock.
That is just a gate of the 108MHz clock in DVP_HT_RPI_MISC_CONFIG,
which results in accesses hanging AXI bus.
Protect against this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: intel/ipu6: do not handle interrupts when device is disabled
Some IPU6 devices have shared interrupts. We need to handle properly
case when interrupt is triggered from other device on shared irq line
and IPU6 itself disabled. In such case we get 0xffffffff from
ISR_STATUS register and handle all irq's cases, for what we are not
not prepared and usually hang the whole system.
To avoid the issue use pm_runtime_get_if_active() to check if
the device is enabled and prevent suspending it when we handle irq
until the end of irq. Additionally use synchronize_irq() in suspend

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: bcm - add error check in the ahash_hmac_init function
The ahash_init functions may return fails. The ahash_hmac_init should
not return ok when ahash_init returns error. For an example, ahash_init
will return -ENOMEM when allocation memory is error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/fadump: Move fadump_cma_init to setup_arch() after initmem_init()
During early init CMA_MIN_ALIGNMENT_BYTES can be PAGE_SIZE,
since pageblock_order is still zero and it gets initialized
later during initmem_init() e.g.
setup_arch() -> initmem_init() -> sparse_init() -> set_pageblock_order()
One such use case where this causes issue is -
early_setup() -> early_init_devtree() -> fadump_reserve_mem() -> fadump_cma_init()
This causes CMA memory alignment check to be bypassed in
cma_init_reserved_mem(). Then later cma_activate_area() can hit
a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(pfn & ((1 << order) - 1)) if the reserved memory
area was not pageblock_order aligned.
Fix it by moving the fadump_cma_init() after initmem_init(),
where other such cma reservations also gets called.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/mm/fault: Fix kfence page fault reporting
copy_from_kernel_nofault() can be called when doing read of /proc/kcore.
/proc/kcore can have some unmapped kfence objects which when read via
copy_from_kernel_nofault() can cause page faults. Since *_nofault()
functions define their own fixup table for handling fault, use that
instead of asking kfence to handle such faults.
Hence we search the exception tables for the nip which generated the
fault. If there is an entry then we let the fixup table handler handle the
page fault by returning an error from within ___do_page_fault().
This can be easily triggered if someone tries to do dd from /proc/kcore.
eg. dd if=/proc/kcore of=/dev/null bs=1M

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: testing: Initialize some variables annoteded with _free()
Variables annotated with __free() need to be initialized if the function
can return before they get updated for the first time or the attempt to
free the memory pointed to by them upon function return may crash the
kernel.
Fix this issue in some places in the thermal testing code.
