The opt->iocharset is freed inside the isofs_fill_super function,
But there may be situations where it's not possible to
enter this function.
For example, in the get_tree_bdev_flags function,when
encountering the situation where "Can't mount, would change RO state,"
In such a case, isofs_fill_super will not have the opportunity
to be called,which means that opt->iocharset will not have the chance
to be freed,ultimately leading to a memory leak.
Let's move the memory freeing of opt->iocharset into
isofs_free_fc function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: kvm: Fix out-of-bounds array access
In kvm_riscv_vcpu_sbi_init() the entry->ext_idx can contain an
out-of-bound index. This is used as a special marker for the base
extensions, that cannot be disabled. However, when traversing the
extensions, that special marker is not checked prior indexing the
array.
Add an out-of-bounds check to the function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: CPPC: Fix possible null-ptr-deref for cppc_get_cpu_cost()
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() may return NULL if the cpu is not in
policy->cpus cpu mask and it will cause null pointer dereference,
so check NULL for cppc_get_cpu_cost().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: CPPC: Fix possible null-ptr-deref for cpufreq_cpu_get_raw()
cpufreq_cpu_get_raw() may return NULL if the cpu is not in
policy->cpus cpu mask and it will cause null pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/s390: Implement blocking domain
This fixes a crash when surprise hot-unplugging a PCI device. This crash
happens because during hot-unplug __iommu_group_set_domain_nofail()
attaching the default domain fails when the platform no longer
recognizes the device as it has already been removed and we end up with
a NULL domain pointer and UAF. This is exactly the case referred to in
the second comment in __iommu_device_set_domain() and just as stated
there if we can instead attach the blocking domain the UAF is prevented
as this can handle the already removed device. Implement the blocking
domain to use this handling. With this change, the crash is fixed but
we still hit a warning attempting to change DMA ownership on a blocked
device.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix file-backed mounts over FUSE
syzbot reported a null-ptr-deref in fuse_read_args_fill:
fuse_read_folio+0xb0/0x100 fs/fuse/file.c:905
filemap_read_folio+0xc6/0x2a0 mm/filemap.c:2367

erofs_read_superblock fs/erofs/super.c:281 [inline]
erofs_fc_fill_super+0x2b9/0x2500 fs/erofs/super.c:625
Unlike most filesystems, some network filesystems and FUSE need
unavoidable valid `file` pointers for their read I/Os [1].
Anyway, those use cases need to be supported too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix null-ptr-deref in f2fs_submit_page_bio()
There's issue as follows when concurrently installing the f2fs.ko
module and mounting the f2fs file system:
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000020-0x0000000000000027]

Above issue happens as the biset of the f2fs file system is not
initialized before register "f2fs_fs_type".
To address above issue just register "f2fs_fs_type" at the last in
init_f2fs_fs(). Ensure that all f2fs file system resources are
initialized.

The zram->comp_algs[ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP] can be NULL in zram_add() if
comp_algorithm_set() has not been called. User can access the zram device
by sysfs after device_add_disk(), so there is a time window to trigger the
NULL pointer dereference. Move it ahead device_add_disk() to make sure
when user can access the zram device, it is ready. comp_algorithm_set()
is protected by zram->init_lock in other places and no such problem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Move events notifier registration to be after device registration
Move pkey change work initialization and cleanup from device resources
stage to notifier stage, since this is the stage which handles this work
events.
Fix a race between the device deregistration and pkey change work by moving
MLX5_IB_STAGE_DEVICE_NOTIFIER to be after MLX5_IB_STAGE_IB_REG in order to
ensure that the notifier is deregistered before the device during cleanup.
Which ensures there are no works that are being executed after the
device has already unregistered which can cause the panic below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix NULL pointer derefernce in hns_roce_map_mr_sg()
ib_map_mr_sg() allows ULPs to specify NULL as the sg_offset argument.
The driver needs to check whether it is a NULL pointer before
dereferencing it.
