In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, cpumap: Make sure kthread is running before map update returns
The following warning was reported when running stress-mode enabled
xdp_redirect_cpu with some RT threads:
------------[ cut here ]------------
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 65 at kernel/bpf/cpumap.c:135
CPU: 4 PID: 65 Comm: kworker/4:1 Not tainted 6.5.0-rc2+ #1
Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)
Workqueue: events cpu_map_kthread_stop

The root cause is the same as commit 436901649731 ("bpf: cpumap: Fix memory
leak in cpu_map_update_elem"). The kthread is stopped prematurely by
kthread_stop() in cpu_map_kthread_stop(), and kthread() doesn't call
cpu_map_kthread_run() at all but XDP program has already queued some
frames or skbs into ptr_ring. So when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() checks
the ptr_ring, it will find it was not emptied and report a warning.
An alternative fix is to use __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() to drop these
pending frames or skbs when kthread_stop() returns -EINTR, but it may
confuse the user, because these frames or skbs have been handled
correctly by XDP program. So instead of dropping these frames or skbs,
just make sure the per-cpu kthread is running before
__cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns.
After apply the fix, the error handle for kthread_stop() will be
unnecessary because it will always return 0, so just remove it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: mvebu: fix irq domain leak
Uwe Kleine-König pointed out we still have one resource leak in the mvebu
driver triggered on driver detach. Let's address it with a custom devm
action.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_vti: fix potential slab-use-after-free in decode_session6
When ip_vti device is set to the qdisc of the sfb type, the cb field
of the sent skb may be modified during enqueuing. Then,
slab-use-after-free may occur when ip_vti device sends IPv6 packets.
As commit f855691975bb ("xfrm6: Fix the nexthdr offset in
_decode_session6.") showed, xfrm_decode_session was originally intended
only for the receive path. IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is not set during
transmission. Therefore, set the cb field in the skb to 0 before
sending packets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix use-after-free in free_netdev
We do netif_napi_add() for all allocated q_vectors[], but potentially
do netif_napi_del() for part of them, then kfree q_vectors and leave
invalid pointers at dev->napi_list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: reject auth/assoc to AP with our address
If the AP uses our own address as its MLD address or BSSID, then
clearly something's wrong. Reject such connections so we don't
try and fail later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: rawnand: brcmnand: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in oob write
When the oob buffer length is not in multiple of words, the oob write
function does out-of-bounds read on the oob source buffer at the last
iteration. Fix that by always checking length limit on the oob buffer
read and fill with 0xff when reaching the end of the buffer to the oob
registers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: davinci: Fix clk use after free
The remove function first frees the clks and only then calls
cpufreq_unregister_driver(). If one of the cpufreq callbacks is called
just before cpufreq_unregister_driver() is run, the freed clks might be
used.

This occurs when logical inode resolution takes a tree mod log sequence
number, and then while backref walking hits a rewind on a busy node
which has the following sequence of tree mod log operations (numbers
filled in from a specific example, but they are somewhat arbitrary)
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 532
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 531
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 530
...
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 0

ADD slot 0
MOVE src slot 0 -> dst slot 456 nritems 533
REMOVE slot 455
REMOVE slot 454
REMOVE slot 453
...
REMOVE slot 0
When this sequence gets applied via btrfs_tree_mod_log_rewind, it
allocates a fresh rewind eb, and first inserts the correct key info for
the 533 elements, then overwrites the first 456 of them, then decrements
the count by 456 via the add ops, then rewinds the move by doing a
memmove from 456:988->0:532. We have never written anything past 532,
