In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/swapfile: skip HugeTLB pages for unuse_vma
I got a bad pud error and lost a 1GB HugeTLB when calling swapoff. The
problem can be reproduced by the following steps:
1. Allocate an anonymous 1GB HugeTLB and some other anonymous memory.
2. Swapout the above anonymous memory.
3. run swapoff and we will get a bad pud error in kernel message:
mm/pgtable-generic.c:42: bad pud 00000000743d215d(84000001400000e7)
We can tell that pud_clear_bad is called by pud_none_or_clear_bad in
unuse_pud_range() by ftrace. And therefore the HugeTLB pages will never
be freed because we lost it from page table. We can skip HugeTLB pages
for unuse_vma to fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: propagate directory read errors from nilfs_find_entry()
Syzbot reported that a task hang occurs in vcs_open() during a fuzzing
test for nilfs2.
The root cause of this problem is that in nilfs_find_entry(), which
searches for directory entries, ignores errors when loading a directory
page/folio via nilfs_get_folio() fails.
If the filesystem images is corrupted, and the i_size of the directory
inode is large, and the directory page/folio is successfully read but
fails the sanity check, for example when it is zero-filled,
nilfs_check_folio() may continue to spit out error messages in bursts.
Fix this issue by propagating the error to the callers when loading a
page/folio fails in nilfs_find_entry().
The current interface of nilfs_find_entry() and its callers is outdated
and cannot propagate error codes such as -EIO and -ENOMEM returned via
nilfs_find_entry(), so fix it together.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix a UBSAN warning in DML2.1
When programming phantom pipe, since cursor_width is explicity set to 0,
this causes calculation logic to trigger overflow for an unsigned int
triggering the kernel's UBSAN check as below:
[ 40.962845] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in /tmp/amd.EfpumTkO/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/dml2/dml21/src/dml2_core/dml2_core_dcn4_calcs.c:3312:34

Fix this by adding a guard for checking cursor width before triggering
the size calculation.

cpufreq: loongson3: Use raw_smp_processor_id() in do_service_request()
Use raw_smp_processor_id() instead of plain smp_processor_id() in
do_service_request(), otherwise we may get some errors with the driver

ceph: remove the incorrect Fw reference check when dirtying pages
When doing the direct-io reads it will also try to mark pages dirty,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: sisfb: Fix strbuf array overflow
The values of the variables xres and yres are placed in strbuf.
These variables are obtained from strbuf1.
The strbuf1 array contains digit characters
and a space if the array contains non-digit characters.
Then, when executing sprintf(strbuf, "%ux%ux8", xres, yres);
more than 16 bytes will be written to strbuf.
It is suggested to increase the size of the strbuf array to 24.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Ensure DA_ID handling completion before deleting an NPIV instance
Deleting an NPIV instance requires all fabric ndlps to be released before
an NPIV's resources can be torn down. Failure to release fabric ndlps
beforehand opens kref imbalance race conditions. Fix by forcing the DA_ID
to complete synchronously with usage of wait_queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsl/fman: Fix refcount handling of fman-related devices
In mac_probe() there are multiple calls to of_find_device_by_node(),
fman_bind() and fman_port_bind() which takes references to of_dev->dev.
Not all references taken by these calls are released later on error path
in mac_probe() and in mac_remove() which lead to reference leaks.
Add references release.
