Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: Prevent out-of-bounds access in fw_mbox_index_xlate()
Although it is guided that `#mbox-cells` must be at least 1, there are
many instances of `#mbox-cells = <0>;` in the device tree. If that is
the case and the corresponding mailbox controller does not provide
`fw_xlate` and of_xlate` function pointers, `fw_mbox_index_xlate()` will
be used by default and out-of-bounds accesses could occur due to lack of
bounds check in that function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ionic: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in ionic_query_port
The function ionic_query_port() calls ib_device_get_netdev() without
checking the return value which could lead to NULL pointer dereference,
Fix it by checking the return value and return -ENODEV if the 'ndev' is
NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: ec_bhf: Fix dma_free_coherent() dma handle
dma_free_coherent() in error path takes priv->rx_buf.alloc_len as
the dma handle. This would lead to improper unmapping of the buffer.
Change the dma handle to priv->rx_buf.alloc_phys.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/atmel-hlcdc: fix memory leak from the atomic_destroy_state callback
After several commits, the slab memory increases. Some drm_crtc_commit
objects are not freed. The atomic_destroy_state callback only put the
framebuffer. Use the __drm_atomic_helper_plane_destroy_state() function
to put all the objects that are no longer needed.
It has been seen after hours of usage of a graphics application or using
kmemleak:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mtk-mdp: Fix a reference leak bug in mtk_mdp_remove()
In mtk_mdp_probe(), vpu_get_plat_device() increases the reference
count of the returned platform device. Add platform_device_put()
to prevent reference leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md-cluster: fix NULL pointer dereference in process_metadata_update
The function process_metadata_update() blindly dereferences the 'thread'
pointer (acquired via rcu_dereference_protected) within the wait_event()
macro.
While the code comment states "daemon thread must exist", there is a valid
race condition window during the MD array startup sequence (md_run):
1. bitmap_load() is called, which invokes md_cluster_ops->join().
2. join() starts the "cluster_recv" thread (recv_daemon).
3. At this point, recv_daemon is active and processing messages.
4. However, mddev->thread (the main MD thread) is not initialized until
later in md_run().
If a METADATA_UPDATED message is received from a remote node during this
specific window, process_metadata_update() will be called while
mddev->thread is still NULL, leading to a kernel panic.
To fix this, we must validate the 'thread' pointer. If it is NULL, we
release the held lock (no_new_dev_lockres) and return early, safely
ignoring the update request as the array is not yet fully ready to
process it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Fix possible dereference of uninitialized pointer
There is a pointer head_page in rb_meta_validate_events() which is not
initialized at the beginning of a function. This pointer can be dereferenced
if there is a failure during reader page validation. In this case the control
is passed to "invalid" label where the pointer is dereferenced in a loop.
To fix the issue initialize orig_head and head_page before calling
rb_validate_buffer.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: supply snapshot context in ceph_zero_partial_object()
The ceph_zero_partial_object function was missing proper snapshot
context for its OSD write operations, which could lead to data
inconsistencies in snapshots.
Reproducer:
../src/vstart.sh --new -x --localhost --bluestore
./bin/ceph auth caps client.fs_a mds 'allow rwps fsname=a' mon 'allow r fsname=a' osd 'allow rw tag cephfs data=a'
mount -t ceph fs_a@.a=/ /mnt/mycephfs/ -o conf=./ceph.conf
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/mycephfs/foo bs=64K count=1
mkdir /mnt/mycephfs/.snap/snap1
md5sum /mnt/mycephfs/.snap/snap1/foo
fallocate -p -o 0 -l 4096 /mnt/mycephfs/foo
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop/caches
md5sum /mnt/mycephfs/.snap/snap1/foo # get different md5sum!!

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: mchp-ipc-sbi: fix out-of-bounds access in mchp_ipc_get_cluster_aggr_irq()
The cluster_cfg array is dynamically allocated to hold per-CPU
configuration structures, with its size based on the number of online
CPUs. Previously, this array was indexed using hartid, which may be
non-contiguous or exceed the bounds of the array, leading to
out-of-bounds access.
Switch to using cpuid as the index, as it is guaranteed to be within
the valid range provided by for_each_online_cpu().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Flush exception handling work when RPM level is zero
Ensure that the exception event handling work is explicitly flushed during
suspend when the runtime power management level is set to UFS_PM_LVL_0.
When the RPM level is zero, the device power mode and link state both
remain active. Previously, the UFS core driver bypassed flushing exception
event handling jobs in this configuration. This created a race condition
where the driver could attempt to access the host controller to handle an
exception after the system had already entered a deep power-down state,
resulting in a system crash.
Explicitly flush this work and disable auto BKOPs before the suspend
callback proceeds. This guarantees that pending exception tasks complete
and prevents illegal hardware access during the power-down sequence.
