In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: smscufx: fix error handling code in ufx_usb_probe
The current error handling code in ufx_usb_probe have many unmatching
issues, e.g., missing ufx_free_usb_list, destroy_modedb label should
only include framebuffer_release, fb_dealloc_cmap only matches
fb_alloc_cmap.
My local syzkaller reports a memory leak bug:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: initialize locks earlier in f2fs_fill_super()
syzbot is reporting lockdep warning at f2fs_handle_error() [1], for
spin_lock(&sbi->error_lock) is called before spin_lock_init() is called.
For safe locking in error handling, move initialization of locks (and
obvious structures) in f2fs_fill_super() to immediately after memory
allocation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE
There is a WARN_ON_ONCE to catch an unlikely situation when
domain_remove_dev_pasid can't find the `pasid`. In case it nevertheless
happens we must avoid using a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix race at SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC
There is a small race window at snd_pcm_oss_sync() that is called from
OSS PCM SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl; namely the function calls
snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() at first, then takes the params_lock mutex
for the rest. When the stream is set up again by another thread
between them, it leads to inconsistency, and may result in unexpected
results such as NULL dereference of OSS buffer as a fuzzer spotted
recently.
The fix is simply to cover snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() call into the same
params_lock mutex with snd_pcm_oss_make_ready_locked() variant.

I got a syzbot report: slab-out-of-bounds Read in
orangefs_debug_write... several people suggested fixes,
I tested Al Viro's suggestion and made this patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
workqueue: Put the pwq after detaching the rescuer from the pool
The commit 68f83057b913("workqueue: Reap workers via kthread_stop() and
remove detach_completion") adds code to reap the normal workers but
mistakenly does not handle the rescuer and also removes the code waiting
for the rescuer in put_unbound_pool(), which caused a use-after-free bug
reported by Cheung Wall.
To avoid the use-after-free bug, the pool’s reference must be held until
the detachment is complete. Therefore, move the code that puts the pwq
after detaching the rescuer from the pool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: hub: Ignore non-compliant devices with too many configs or interfaces
Robert Morris created a test program which can cause
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() to dereference a NULL or inappropriate
pointer:
Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address

The cause of this error is that the device has two interfaces, and the
hub driver binds to interface 1 instead of interface 0, which is where
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() looks.
We can prevent the problem from occurring by refusing to accept hub
devices that violate the USB spec by having more than one
configuration or interface.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: avoid buffer overflow attach in smu_sys_set_pp_table()
It malicious user provides a small pptable through sysfs and then

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: fix NULL pointer dereference in brcmf_txfinalize()
On removal of the device or unloading of the kernel module a potential NULL
pointer dereference occurs.
The following sequence deletes the interface:
brcmf_detach()
brcmf_remove_interface()
brcmf_del_if()
Inside the brcmf_del_if() function the drvr->if2bss[ifidx] is updated to
BRCMF_BSSIDX_INVALID (-1) if the bsscfgidx matches.
After brcmf_remove_interface() call the brcmf_proto_detach() function is
called providing the following sequence:
brcmf_detach()
brcmf_proto_detach()
brcmf_proto_msgbuf_detach()
brcmf_flowring_detach()
brcmf_msgbuf_delete_flowring()
brcmf_msgbuf_remove_flowring()
brcmf_flowring_delete()
brcmf_get_ifp()
brcmf_txfinalize()
Since brcmf_get_ip() can and actually will return NULL in this case the
call to brcmf_txfinalize() will result in a NULL pointer dereference inside
brcmf_txfinalize() when trying to update ifp->ndev->stats.tx_errors.
This will only happen if a flowring still has an skb.
Although the NULL pointer dereference has only been seen when trying to
update the tx statistic, all other uses of the ifp pointer have been
guarded as well with an early return if ifp is NULL.
