In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpiolib: cdev: fix NULL-pointer dereferences
There are several places where we can crash the kernel by requesting
lines, unbinding the GPIO device, then calling any of the system calls
relevant to the GPIO character device's annonymous file descriptors:
ioctl(), read(), poll().
While I observed it with the GPIO simulator, it will also happen for any
of the GPIO devices that can be hot-unplugged - for instance any HID GPIO
expander (e.g. CP2112).
This affects both v1 and v2 uAPI.
This fixes it partially by checking if gdev->chip is not NULL but it
doesn't entirely remedy the situation as we still have a race condition
in which another thread can remove the device after the check.

btrfs: fix resolving backrefs for inline extent followed by prealloc
If a file consists of an inline extent followed by a regular or prealloc
extent, then a legitimate attempt to resolve a logical address in the
non-inline region will result in add_all_parents reading the invalid
offset field of the inline extent. If the inline extent item is placed
in the leaf eb s.t. it is the first item, attempting to access the
offset field will not only be meaningless, it will go past the end of
the eb and cause this panic:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ARC: mm: fix leakage of memory allocated for PTE
Since commit d9820ff ("ARC: mm: switch pgtable_t back to struct page *")
a memory leakage problem occurs. Memory allocated for page table entries
not released during process termination. This issue can be reproduced by
a small program that allocates a large amount of memory. After several
runs, you'll see that the amount of free memory has reduced and will
continue to reduce after each run. All ARC CPUs are effected by this
issue. The issue was introduced since the kernel stable release v5.15-rc1.
As described in commit d9820ff after switch pgtable_t back to struct
page *, a pointer to "struct page" and appropriate functions are used to
allocate and free a memory page for PTEs, but the pmd_pgtable macro hasn't
changed and returns the direct virtual address from the PMD (PGD) entry.
Than this address used as a parameter in the __pte_free() and as a result
this function couldn't release memory page allocated for PTEs.
Fix this issue by changing the pmd_pgtable macro and returning pointer to
struct page.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Validate the box size for the snooped cursor
Invalid userspace dma surface copies could potentially overflow
the memcpy from the surface to the snooped image leading to crashes.
To fix it the dimensions of the copybox have to be validated
against the expected size of the snooped cursor.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Validate buffer length while parsing index
indx_read is called when we have some NTFS directory operations that
need more information from the index buffers. This adds a sanity check
to make sure the returned index buffer length is legit, or we may have
some out-of-bound memory accesses.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't set up encryption key during jbd2 transaction
Commit a80f7fcf1867 ("ext4: fixup ext4_fc_track_* functions' signature")
extended the scope of the transaction in ext4_unlink() too far, making
it include the call to ext4_find_entry(). However, ext4_find_entry()
can deadlock when called from within a transaction because it may need
to set up the directory's encryption key.
Fix this by restoring the transaction to its original scope.
