In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath10k: Fix memory leak in management tx
In the current logic, memory is allocated for storing the MSDU context
during management packet TX but this memory is not being freed during
management TX completion. Similar leaks are seen in the management TX
cleanup logic.
Kmemleak reports this problem as below,
unreferenced object 0xffffff80b64ed250 (size 16):
comm "kworker/u16:7", pid 148, jiffies 4294687130 (age 714.199s)

Free the memory during completion and cleanup to fix the leak.
Protect the mgmt_pending_tx idr_remove() operation in
ath10k_wmi_tlv_op_cleanup_mgmt_tx_send() using ar->data_lock similar to
other instances.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: qcom: qmp-usbc: fix NULL-deref on runtime suspend
Commit 413db06c05e7 ("phy: qcom-qmp-usb: clean up probe initialisation")
removed most users of the platform device driver data from the
qcom-qmp-usb driver, but mistakenly also removed the initialisation
despite the data still being used in the runtime PM callbacks. This bug
was later reproduced when the driver was copied to create the qmp-usbc
driver.
Restore the driver data initialisation at probe to avoid a NULL-pointer
dereference on runtime suspend.
Apparently no one uses runtime PM, which currently needs to be enabled
manually through sysfs, with these drivers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Initialize struct nfsd4_copy earlier
Ensure the refcount and async_copies fields are initialized early.
cleanup_async_copy() will reference these fields if an error occurs
in nfsd4_copy(). If they are not correctly initialized, at the very
least, a refcount underflow occurs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl/port: Fix use-after-free, permit out-of-order decoder shutdown
In support of investigating an initialization failure report [1],
cxl_test was updated to register mock memory-devices after the mock
root-port/bus device had been registered. That led to cxl_test crashing
with a use-after-free bug with the following signature:

At 1) a region has been established with 2 endpoint decoders (7.0 and
14.0). Those endpoints share a common switch-decoder in the topology
(3.0). At teardown, 2), decoder14.0 is the first to be removed and hits
the "out of order reset case" in the switch decoder. The effect though
is that region3 cleanup is aborted leaving it in-tact and
referencing decoder14.0. At 3) the second attempt to teardown region3
trips over the stale decoder14.0 object which has long since been
deleted.
The fix here is to recognize that the CXL specification places no
mandate on in-order shutdown of switch-decoders, the driver enforces
in-order allocation, and hardware enforces in-order commit. So, rather
than fail and leave objects dangling, always remove them.
In support of making cxl_region_decode_reset() always succeed,
cxl_region_invalidate_memregion() failures are turned into warnings.
Crashing the kernel is ok there since system integrity is at risk if
caches cannot be managed around physical address mutation events like
CXL region destruction.
A new device_for_each_child_reverse_from() is added to cleanup
port->commit_end after all dependent decoders have been disabled. In
other words if decoders are allocated 0->1->2 and disabled 1->2->0 then
port->commit_end only decrements from 2 after 2 has been disabled, and
it decrements all the way to zero since 1 was disabled previously.

This happens because the loop variable still gets incremented by one so
max becomes 3 instead of 2, and this makes the second loop read past the
the array declared on the stack.
Fix this by assigning to max directly in the loop body.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential deadlock with newly created symlinks
Syzbot reported that page_symlink(), called by nilfs_symlink(), triggers
memory reclamation involving the filesystem layer, which can result in
circular lock dependencies among the reader/writer semaphore
nilfs->ns_segctor_sem, s_writers percpu_rwsem (intwrite) and the
fs_reclaim pseudo lock.
This is because after commit 21fc61c73c39 ("don't put symlink bodies in
pagecache into highmem"), the gfp flags of the page cache for symbolic
links are overwritten to GFP_KERNEL via inode_nohighmem().
This is not a problem for symlinks read from the backing device, because
the __GFP_FS flag is dropped after inode_nohighmem() is called. However,
when a new symlink is created with nilfs_symlink(), the gfp flags remain
overwritten to GFP_KERNEL. Then, memory allocation called from
page_symlink() etc. triggers memory reclamation including the FS layer,
which may call nilfs_evict_inode() or nilfs_dirty_inode(). And these can
cause a deadlock if they are called while nilfs->ns_segctor_sem is held:
Fix this issue by dropping the __GFP_FS flag from the page cache GFP flags
of newly created symlinks in the same way that nilfs_new_inode() and
__nilfs_read_inode() do, as a workaround until we adopt nofs allocation
scope consistently or improve the locking constraints.
