In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: core: fix locking in regulator_resolve_supply() error path
If late enabling of a supply regulator fails in
regulator_resolve_supply(), the code currently triggers a lockdep
warning:
WARNING: drivers/regulator/core.c:2649 at _regulator_put+0x80/0xa0, CPU#6: kworker/u32:4/596
...
Call trace:
_regulator_put+0x80/0xa0 (P)
regulator_resolve_supply+0x7cc/0xbe0
regulator_register_resolve_supply+0x28/0xb8
as the regulator_list_mutex must be held when calling _regulator_put().
To solve this, simply switch to using regulator_put().
While at it, we should also make sure that no concurrent access happens
to our rdev while we clear out the supply pointer. Add appropriate
locking to ensure that.
While the code in question will be removed altogether in a follow-up
commit, I believe it is still beneficial to have this corrected before
removal for future reference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix dc_link NULL handling in HPD init
amdgpu_dm_hpd_init() may see connectors without a valid dc_link.
The code already checks dc_link for the polling decision, but later
unconditionally dereferences it when setting up HPD interrupts.
Assign dc_link early and skip connectors where it is NULL.
Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c:940 amdgpu_dm_hpd_init()
error: we previously assumed 'dc_link' could be null (see line 931)
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm_irq.c
923 /*
924 * Analog connectors may be hot-plugged unlike other connector
925 * types that don't support HPD. Only poll analog connectors.
926 */
927 use_polling |=
928 amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link &&
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The patch adds this NULL check but hopefully it can be removed
929 dc_connector_supports_analog(amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link->link_id.id);

931 dc_link = amdgpu_dm_connector->dc_link;
dc_link assigned here.

--> 940 if (dc_link->irq_source_hpd != DC_IRQ_SOURCE_INVALID) {
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If it's NULL then we are trouble because we dereference it here.
941 irq_type = dc_link->irq_source_hpd - DC_IRQ_SOURCE_HPD1;
942 /*

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: qcom: gfx3d: add parent to parent request map
After commit d228ece36345 ("clk: divider: remove round_rate() in favor
of determine_rate()") determining GFX3D clock rate crashes, because the
passed parent map doesn't provide the expected best_parent_hw clock
(with the roundd_rate path before the offending commit the
best_parent_hw was ignored).
Set the field in parent_req in addition to setting it in the req,
fixing the crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions
cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as
pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as
kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of
this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to
be supplied without CIFS origin.
Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private
spnego_cred to request the key.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: fix buffer size clamping order
In vsock_update_buffer_size(), the buffer size was being clamped to the
maximum first, and then to the minimum. If a user sets a minimum buffer
size larger than the maximum, the minimum check overrides the maximum
check, inverting the constraint.
This breaks the intended socket memory boundaries by allowing the
vsk->buffer_size to grow beyond the configured vsk->buffer_max_size.
Fix this by checking the minimum first, and then the maximum. This
ensures the buffer size never exceeds the buffer_max_size.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: saa7164: add ioremap return checks and cleanups
Add checks for ioremap return values in saa7164_dev_setup(). If
ioremap for BAR0 or BAR2 fails, release the already allocated PCI
memory regions, remove the device from the global list, decrement
the device count, and return -ENODEV.
This prevents potential null pointer dereferences and ensures proper
cleanup on memory mapping failures.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: stop caching unowned originator pointers in BAT IV
BAT IV keeps the last-hop neighbor address in each neigh_node, but some
paths also cache an originator pointer derived from a temporary lookup.
That pointer is not owned by the neigh_node and may no longer refer to a
live originator entry after purge handling runs.
Stop storing the auxiliary originator pointer in the BAT IV neighbor
state. When BAT IV needs the neighbor originator data, resolve it from
the stored neighbor address and drop the reference again after use.
