In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: don't reset unchangable mount option in f2fs_remount()
syzbot reports a bug as below:

The root cause is race condition as below:
- since it tries to remount rw filesystem, so that do_remount won't
call sb_prepare_remount_readonly to block fallocate, there may be race
condition in between remount and fallocate.
- in f2fs_remount(), default_options() will reset mount option to default
one, and then update it based on result of parse_options(), so there is
a hole which race condition can happen.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: skb_partial_csum_set() fix against transport header magic value
skb->transport_header uses the special 0xFFFF value
to mark if the transport header was set or not.
We must prevent callers to accidentaly set skb->transport_header
to 0xFFFF. Note that only fuzzers can possibly do this today.

In the cpu_map_update_elem flow, when kthread_stop is called before
calling the threadfn of rcpu->kthread, since the KTHREAD_SHOULD_STOP bit
of kthread has been set by kthread_stop, the threadfn of rcpu->kthread
will never be executed, and rcpu->refcnt will never be 0, which will
lead to the allocated rcpu, rcpu->queue and rcpu->queue->queue cannot be
released.
Calling kthread_stop before executing kthread's threadfn will return
-EINTR. We can complete the release of memory resources in this state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Block switchdev mode when ADQ is active and vice versa
ADQ and switchdev are not supported simultaneously. Enabling both at the
same time can result in nullptr dereference.
To prevent this, check if ADQ is active when changing devlink mode to
switchdev mode, and check if switchdev is active when enabling ADQ.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/ttm: fix bulk_move corruption when adding a entry
When the resource is the first in the bulk_move range, adding it again
(thus moving it to the tail) will corrupt the list since the first
pointer is not moved. This eventually lead to null pointer deref in
ttm_lru_bulk_move_del()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/ASPM: Disable ASPM on MFD function removal to avoid use-after-free
Struct pcie_link_state->downstream is a pointer to the pci_dev of function
0. Previously we retained that pointer when removing function 0, and
subsequent ASPM policy changes dereferenced it, resulting in a
use-after-free warning from KASAN, e.g.:
# echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/remove
# echo powersave > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in pcie_config_aspm_link+0x42d/0x500
Call Trace:

pcie_aspm_set_policy+0x8e/0x1a0
param_attr_store+0x162/0x2c0
module_attr_store+0x3e/0x80
PCIe spec r6.0, sec 7.5.3.7, recommends that software program the same ASPM
Control value in all functions of multi-function devices.
Disable ASPM and free the pcie_link_state when any child function is
removed so we can discard the dangling pcie_link_state->downstream pointer
and maintain the same ASPM Control configuration for all functions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: add vlan_get_protocol_and_depth() helper
Before blamed commit, pskb_may_pull() was used instead
of skb_header_pointer() in __vlan_get_protocol() and friends.
Few callers depended on skb->head being populated with MAC header,
syzbot caught one of them (skb_mac_gso_segment())
Add vlan_get_protocol_and_depth() to make the intent clearer
and use it where sensible.
This is a more generic fix than commit e9d3f80935b6
("net/af_packet: make sure to pull mac header") which was
dealing with a similar issue.
