In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Really fix PCIe port nodes for ls7a
Fix the dtc warnings:
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:68.16-416.5: Warning (interrupt_provider): /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000: '#interrupt-cells' found, but node is not an interrupt provider
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:68.16-416.5: Warning (interrupt_provider): /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000: '#interrupt-cells' found, but node is not an interrupt provider
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/loongson64g_4core_ls7a.dtb: Warning (interrupt_map): Failed prerequisite 'interrupt_provider'
And a runtime warning introduced in commit 045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on
deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells handling"):
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/of/base.c:106 of_bus_n_addr_cells+0x9c/0xe0
Missing '#address-cells' in /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000/pci_bridge@9,0
The fix is similar to commit d89a415ff8d5 ("MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Fix PCIe
port nodes for ls7a"), which has fixed the issue for ls2k (despite its
subject mentions ls7a).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: imx8m: Probe the SoC driver as platform driver
With driver_async_probe=* on kernel command line, the following trace is
produced because on i.MX8M Plus hardware because the soc-imx8m.c driver
calls of_clk_get_by_name() which returns -EPROBE_DEFER because the clock
driver is not yet probed. This was not detected during regular testing
without driver_async_probe.
Convert the SoC code to platform driver and instantiate a platform device
in its current device_initcall() to probe the platform driver. Rework
.soc_revision callback to always return valid error code and return SoC
revision via parameter. This way, if anything in the .soc_revision callback
return -EPROBE_DEFER, it gets propagated to .probe and the .probe will get
retried later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix handling of plane refcount
[Why]
The mechanism to backup and restore plane states doesn't maintain
refcount, which can cause issues if the refcount of the plane changes
in between backup and restore operations, such as memory leaks if the
refcount was supposed to go down, or double frees / invalid memory
accesses if the refcount was supposed to go up.
[How]
Cache and re-apply current refcount when restoring plane states.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix nfs4_openowner leak when concurrent nfsd4_open occur
The action force umount(umount -f) will attempt to kill all rpc_task even
umount operation may ultimately fail if some files remain open.
Consequently, if an action attempts to open a file, it can potentially
send two rpc_task to nfs server.
NFS CLIENT
thread1 thread2
open("file")
...

and return -512
_nfs4_do_open // while loop
...
nfs4_run_open_task
/* rpc_task2 */
rpc_run_task
rpc_wait_for_completion_task
While processing an open request, nfsd will first attempt to find or
allocate an nfs4_openowner. If it finds an nfs4_openowner that is not
marked as NFS4_OO_CONFIRMED, this nfs4_openowner will released. Since
two rpc_task can attempt to open the same file simultaneously from the
client to server, and because two instances of nfsd can run
concurrently, this situation can lead to lots of memory leak.
Additionally, when we echo 0 to /proc/fs/nfsd/threads, warning will be
triggered.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btusb: mediatek: add intf release flow when usb disconnect
MediaTek claim an special usb intr interface for ISO data transmission.
The interface need to be released before unregistering hci device when
usb disconnect. Removing BT usb dongle without properly releasing the
interface may cause Kernel panic while unregister hci device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix use-after-free when COWing tree bock and tracing is enabled
When a COWing a tree block, at btrfs_cow_block(), and we have the
tracepoint trace_btrfs_cow_block() enabled and preemption is also enabled
(CONFIG_PREEMPT=y), we can trigger a use-after-free in the COWed extent
buffer while inside the tracepoint code. This is because in some paths
that call btrfs_cow_block(), such as btrfs_search_slot(), we are holding
the last reference on the extent buffer @buf so btrfs_force_cow_block()
drops the last reference on the @buf extent buffer when it calls
free_extent_buffer_stale(buf), which schedules the release of the extent
buffer with RCU. This means that if we are on a kernel with preemption,
the current task may be preempted before calling trace_btrfs_cow_block()
and the extent buffer already released by the time trace_btrfs_cow_block()
is called, resulting in a use-after-free.
Fix this by moving the trace_btrfs_cow_block() from btrfs_cow_block() to
btrfs_force_cow_block() before the COWed extent buffer is freed.
This also has a side effect of invoking the tracepoint in the tree defrag
code, at defrag.c:btrfs_realloc_node(), since btrfs_force_cow_block() is
called there, but this is fine and it was actually missing there.

media: s5p_cec: limit msg.len to CEC_MAX_MSG_SIZE
I expect that the hardware will have limited this to 16, but just in
case it hasn't, check for this corner case.

The root cause is: on a fuzzed image, blkaddr in nat entry may be
corrupted, then it will cause system panic when using it in
f2fs_invalidate_blocks(), to avoid this, let's add sanity check on
nat blkaddr in truncate_node().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix use after free on unload
System crash is observed with stack trace warning of use after
free. There are 2 signals to tell dpc_thread to terminate (UNLOADING
flag and kthread_stop).
On setting the UNLOADING flag when dpc_thread happens to run at the time
and sees the flag, this causes dpc_thread to exit and clean up
itself. When kthread_stop is called for final cleanup, this causes use
after free.
Remove UNLOADING signal to terminate dpc_thread. Use the kthread_stop
as the main signal to exit dpc_thread.
