In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARM: dts: exynos: Use Exynos5420 compatible for the MIPI video phy
For some reason, the driver adding support for Exynos5420 MIPI phy
back in 2016 wasn't used on Exynos5420, which caused a kernel panic.
Add the proper compatible for it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: davinci: Fix clk use after free
The remove function first frees the clks and only then calls
cpufreq_unregister_driver(). If one of the cpufreq callbacks is called
just before cpufreq_unregister_driver() is run, the freed clks might be
used.

net: bcmgenet: Add a check for oversized packets
Occasionnaly we may get oversized packets from the hardware which
exceed the nomimal 2KiB buffer size we allocate SKBs with. Add an early
check which drops the packet to avoid invoking skb_over_panic() and move
on to processing the next packet.

This occurs when logical inode resolution takes a tree mod log sequence
number, and then while backref walking hits a rewind on a busy node
which has the following sequence of tree mod log operations (numbers
filled in from a specific example, but they are somewhat arbitrary)
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 532
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 531
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 530

...
ADD slot 0
MOVE src slot 0 -> dst slot 456 nritems 533
REMOVE slot 455
REMOVE slot 454
REMOVE slot 453
...
REMOVE slot 0
When this sequence gets applied via btrfs_tree_mod_log_rewind, it
allocates a fresh rewind eb, and first inserts the correct key info for
the 533 elements, then overwrites the first 456 of them, then decrements
the count by 456 via the add ops, then rewinds the move by doing a
memmove from 456:988->0:532. We have never written anything past 532,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix incomplete state save in rxe_requester
If a send packet is dropped by the IP layer in rxe_requester()
the call to rxe_xmit_packet() can fail with err == -EAGAIN.
To recover, the state of the wqe is restored to the state before
the packet was sent so it can be resent. However, the routines
that save and restore the state miss a significnt part of the
variable state in the wqe, the dma struct which is used to process
through the sge table. And, the state is not saved before the packet
is built which modifies the dma struct.
Under heavy stress testing with many QPs on a fast node sending
large messages to a slow node dropped packets are observed and
the resent packets are corrupted because the dma struct was not
restored. This patch fixes this behavior and allows the test cases
to succeed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: fix use-after-free on probe deferral
The bridge counter was never reset when tearing down the DRM device so
that stale pointers to deallocated structures would be accessed on the
next tear down (e.g. after a second late bind deferral).
Given enough bridges and a few probe deferrals this could currently also
lead to data beyond the bridge array being corrupted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: add EXT4_IGET_BAD flag to prevent unexpected bad inode
There are many places that will get unhappy (and crash) when ext4_iget()
returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad
inode to be returned, because the inode may not be initialized. This
mechanism can be used to bypass some checks and cause panic. To solve this
problem, we add a special iget flag EXT4_IGET_BAD. Only with this flag
we'd be returning bad inode from ext4_iget(), otherwise we always return
the error code if the inode is bad inode.(suggested by Jan Kara)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen/gntdev: Accommodate VMA splitting
Prior to this commit, the gntdev driver code did not handle the
following scenario correctly with paravirtualized (PV) Xen domains:
* User process sets up a gntdev mapping composed of two grant mappings
(i.e., two pages shared by another Xen domain).
* User process munmap()s one of the pages.
* User process munmap()s the remaining page.
* User process exits.
In the scenario above, the user process would cause the kernel to log
the following messages in dmesg for the first munmap(), and the second
munmap() call would result in similar log messages:
BUG: Bad page map in process doublemap.test pte:... pmd:...
page:0000000057c97bff refcount:1 mapcount:-1 \
mapping:0000000000000000 index:0x0 pfn:...

page dumped because: bad pte
...

...

For each munmap() call, the Xen hypervisor (if built with CONFIG_DEBUG)
would print out the following and trigger a general protection fault in
the affected Xen PV domain:
(XEN) d0v... Attempt to implicitly unmap d0's grant PTE ...
(XEN) d0v... Attempt to implicitly unmap d0's grant PTE ...
As of this writing, gntdev_grant_map structure's vma field (referred to
as map->vma below) is mainly used for checking the start and end
addresses of mappings. However, with split VMAs, these may change, and
there could be more than one VMA associated with a gntdev mapping.
Hence, remove the use of map->vma and rely on map->pages_vm_start for
the original start address and on (map->count << PAGE_SHIFT) for the
original mapping size. Let the invalidate() and find_special_page()
hooks use these.
Also, given that there can be multiple VMAs associated with a gntdev
mapping, move the "mmu_interval_notifier_remove(&map->notifier)" call to
the end of gntdev_put_map, so that the MMU notifier is only removed
after the closing of the last remaining VMA.
Finally, use an atomic to prevent inadvertent gntdev mapping re-use,
instead of using the map->live_grants atomic counter and/or the map->vma
pointer (the latter of which is now removed). This prevents the
userspace from mmap()'ing (with MAP_FIXED) a gntdev mapping over the
same address range as a previously set up gntdev mapping. This scenario
can be summarized with the following call-trace, which was valid prior
to this commit:
mmap
gntdev_mmap
mmap (repeat mmap with MAP_FIXED over the same address range)
gntdev_invalidate
unmap_grant_pages (sets 'being_removed' entries to true)
gnttab_unmap_refs_async
unmap_single_vma
gntdev_mmap (maps the shared pages again)
munmap
gntdev_invalidate
unmap_grant_pages
(no-op because 'being_removed' entries are true)
unmap_single_vma (For PV domains, Xen reports that a granted page
is being unmapped and triggers a general protection fault in the
affected domain, if Xen was built with CONFIG_DEBUG)
The fix for this last scenario could be worth its own commit, but we
opted for a single commit, because removing the gntdev_grant_map
structure's vma field requires guarding the entry to gntdev_mmap(), and
the live_grants atomic counter is not sufficient on its own to prevent
the mmap() over a pre-existing mapping.
