In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Cancel pending work at closing a MIDI substream
At closing a USB MIDI output substream, there might be still a pending
work, which would eventually access the rawmidi runtime object that is
being released. For fixing the race, make sure to cancel the pending
work at closing.

In crash_prepare_elf64_headers(), a buffer is allocated via vmalloc() to
store elf headers. While it's not freed back to system correctly when
kdump kernel is reloaded or unloaded. Then memory leak is caused. Fix it
by introducing x86 specific function arch_kimage_file_post_load_cleanup(),
and freeing the buffer there.
And also remove the incorrect elf header buffer freeing code. Before
calling arch specific kexec_file loading function, the image instance has
been initialized. So 'image->elf_headers' must be NULL. It doesn't make
sense to free the elf header buffer in the place.
Three different people have reported three bugs about the memory leak on
x86_64 inside Redhat.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: implement ->free_disk
Ensure that the lo_device which is stored in the gendisk private
data is valid until the gendisk is freed. Currently the loop driver
uses a lot of effort to make sure a device is not freed when it is
still in use, but to to fix a potential deadlock this will be relaxed
a bit soon.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Protect memory leak for NPIV ports sending PLOGI_RJT
There is a potential memory leak in lpfc_ignore_els_cmpl() and
lpfc_els_rsp_reject() that was allocated from NPIV PLOGI_RJT
(lpfc_rcv_plogi()'s login_mbox).
Check if cmdiocb->context_un.mbox was allocated in lpfc_ignore_els_cmpl(),
and then free it back to phba->mbox_mem_pool along with mbox->ctx_buf for
service parameters.
For lpfc_els_rsp_reject() failure, free both the ctx_buf for service
parameters and the login_mbox.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix null pointer dereference after failing to issue FLOGI and PLOGI
If lpfc_issue_els_flogi() fails and returns non-zero status, the node
reference count is decremented to trigger the release of the nodelist
structure. However, if there is a prior registration or dev-loss-evt work
pending, the node may be released prematurely. When dev-loss-evt
completes, the released node is referenced causing a use-after-free null
pointer dereference.
Similarly, when processing non-zero ELS PLOGI completion status in
lpfc_cmpl_els_plogi(), the ndlp flags are checked for a transport
registration before triggering node removal. If dev-loss-evt work is
pending, the node may be released prematurely and a subsequent call to
lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler() results in a use after free ndlp dereference.
Add test for pending dev-loss before decrementing the node reference count
for FLOGI, PLOGI, PRLI, and ADISC handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: jack: Access input_dev under mutex
It is possible when using ASoC that input_dev is unregistered while
calling snd_jack_report, which causes NULL pointer dereference.
In order to prevent this serialize access to input_dev using mutex lock.

This commit therefore fixes this issue by applying a single-CPU
optimization to the RCU Tasks Rude grace-period process. The key point
here is that the purpose of this RCU flavor is to force a schedule on
each online CPU since some past event. But the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp()
function runs in the context of the RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period kthread,
so there must already have been a context switch on the current CPU since
the call to either synchronize_rcu_tasks_rude() or call_rcu_tasks_rude().
So if there is only a single CPU online, RCU Tasks Rude's grace-period
kthread does not need to anything at all.
It turns out that the rcu_tasks_rude_wait_gp() function's call to
schedule_on_each_cpu() causes problems during early boot. During that
time, there is only one online CPU, namely the boot CPU. Therefore,
applying this single-CPU optimization fixes early-boot instances of
this problem.
