In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix potential out of bound read in ext4_fc_replay_scan()
For scan loop must ensure that at least EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN space. If remain
space less than EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN which will lead to out of bound read
when mounting corrupt file system image.
ADD_RANGE/HEAD/TAIL is needed to add extra check when do journal scan, as this
three tags will read data during scan, tag length couldn't less than data length
which will read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: xilinx: vipp: Fix refcount leak in xvip_graph_dma_init
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: verify the expected usb_endpoints are present
The bug arises when a USB device claims to be an ATH9K but doesn't
have the expected endpoints. (In this case there was an interrupt
endpoint where the driver expected a bulk endpoint.) The kernel
needs to be able to handle such devices without getting an internal error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/omap: Fix buffer overflow in debugfs
There are two issues here:
1) The "len" variable needs to be checked before the very first write.
Otherwise if omap2_iommu_dump_ctx() with "bytes" less than 32 it is a
buffer overflow.
2) The snprintf() function returns the number of bytes that *would* have
been copied if there were enough space. But we want to know the
number of bytes which were *actually* copied so use scnprintf()
instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix double release compute pasid
If kfd_process_device_init_vm returns failure after vm is converted to
compute vm and vm->pasid set to compute pasid, KFD will not take
pdd->drm_file reference. As a result, drm close file handler maybe
called to release the compute pasid before KFD process destroy worker to
release the same pasid and set vm->pasid to zero, this generates below
WARNING backtrace and NULL pointer access.
Add helper amdgpu_amdkfd_gpuvm_set_vm_pasid and call it at the last step
of kfd_process_device_init_vm, to ensure vm pasid is the original pasid
if acquiring vm failed or is the compute pasid with pdd->drm_file
reference taken to avoid double release same pasid.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qlcnic: prevent ->dcb use-after-free on qlcnic_dcb_enable() failure
adapter->dcb would get silently freed inside qlcnic_dcb_enable() in
case qlcnic_dcb_attach() would return an error, which always happens
under OOM conditions. This would lead to use-after-free because both
of the existing callers invoke qlcnic_dcb_get_info() on the obtained
pointer, which is potentially freed at that point.
Propagate errors from qlcnic_dcb_enable(), and instead free the dcb
pointer at callsite using qlcnic_dcb_free(). This also removes the now
unused qlcnic_clear_dcb_ops() helper, which was a simple wrapper around
kfree() also causing memory leaks for partially initialized dcb.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not BUG_ON() on ENOMEM when dropping extent items for a range
If we get -ENOMEM while dropping file extent items in a given range, at
btrfs_drop_extents(), due to failure to allocate memory when attempting to
increment the reference count for an extent or drop the reference count,
we handle it with a BUG_ON(). This is excessive, instead we can simply
abort the transaction and return the error to the caller. In fact most
callers of btrfs_drop_extents(), directly or indirectly, already abort
the transaction if btrfs_drop_extents() returns any error.
Also, we already have error paths at btrfs_drop_extents() that may return
-ENOMEM and in those cases we abort the transaction, like for example
anything that changes the b+tree may return -ENOMEM due to a failure to
allocate a new extent buffer when COWing an existing extent buffer, such
as a call to btrfs_duplicate_item() for example.
So replace the BUG_ON() calls with proper logic to abort the transaction
and return the error.
