In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Ensure DA_ID handling completion before deleting an NPIV instance
Deleting an NPIV instance requires all fabric ndlps to be released before
an NPIV's resources can be torn down. Failure to release fabric ndlps
beforehand opens kref imbalance race conditions. Fix by forcing the DA_ID
to complete synchronously with usage of wait_queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: systemport: fix potential memory leak in bcm_sysport_xmit()
The bcm_sysport_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of dma_map_single() fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: validate new SA's prefixlen using SA family when sel.family is unset
This expands the validation introduced in commit 07bf7908950a ("xfrm:
Validate address prefix lengths in the xfrm selector.")
syzbot created an SA with
usersa.sel.family = AF_UNSPEC
usersa.sel.prefixlen_s = 128
usersa.family = AF_INET
Because of the AF_UNSPEC selector, verify_newsa_info doesn't put
limits on prefixlen_{s,d}. But then copy_from_user_state sets
x->sel.family to usersa.family (AF_INET). Do the same conversion in
verify_newsa_info before validating prefixlen_{s,d}, since that's how
prefixlen is going to be used later on.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: bnep: fix wild-memory-access in proto_unregister
There's issue as follows:
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0xdead...108-0xdead...10f]
CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 2805 Comm: rmmod Tainted: G W
RIP: 0010:proto_unregister+0xee/0x400
Call Trace:

__do_sys_delete_module+0x318/0x580
do_syscall_64+0xc1/0x1d0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
As bnep_init() ignore bnep_sock_init()'s return value, and bnep_sock_init()
will cleanup all resource. Then when remove bnep module will call
bnep_sock_cleanup() to cleanup sock's resource.
To solve above issue just return bnep_sock_init()'s return value in
bnep_exit().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vboxvideo: Replace fake VLA at end of vbva_mouse_pointer_shape with real VLA
Replace the fake VLA at end of the vbva_mouse_pointer_shape shape with
a real VLA to fix a "memcpy: detected field-spanning write error" warning:
[ 13.319813] memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 16896) of single field "p->data" at drivers/gpu/drm/vboxvideo/hgsmi_base.c:154 (size 4)

[ 13.320184] vbox_cursor_atomic_update [vboxvideo]
Note as mentioned in the added comment it seems the original length
calculation for the allocated and send hgsmi buffer is 4 bytes too large.
Changing this is not the goal of this patch, so this behavior is kept.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Disable PSR-SU on Parade 08-01 TCON too
Stuart Hayhurst has found that both at bootup and fullscreen VA-API video
is leading to black screens for around 1 second and kernel WARNING [1] traces
when calling dmub_psr_enable() with Parade 08-01 TCON.
These symptoms all go away with PSR-SU disabled for this TCON, so disable
it for now while DMUB traces [2] from the failure can be analyzed and the failure
state properly root caused.
(cherry picked from commit afb634a6823d8d9db23c5fb04f79c5549349628b)

sleep. Then we will get:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/lam: Disable ADDRESS_MASKING in most cases
Linear Address Masking (LAM) has a weakness related to transient
execution as described in the SLAM paper[1]. Unless Linear Address
Space Separation (LASS) is enabled this weakness may be exploitable.
Until kernel adds support for LASS[2], only allow LAM for COMPILE_TEST,
or when speculation mitigations have been disabled at compile time,
otherwise keep LAM disabled.
There are no processors in market that support LAM yet, so currently
nobody is affected by this issue.
