Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: caif: hold tty->link reference in ldisc_open and ser_release
A reproducer triggers a KASAN slab-use-after-free in pty_write_room()
when caif_serial's TX path calls tty_write_room(). The faulting access
is on tty->link->port.
Hold an extra kref on tty->link for the lifetime of the caif_serial line
discipline: get it in ldisc_open() and drop it in ser_release(), and
also drop it on the ldisc_open() error path.
With this change applied, the reproducer no longer triggers the UAF in
my testing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: soc-core: flush delayed work before removing DAIs and widgets
When a sound card is unbound while a PCM stream is open, a
use-after-free can occur in snd_soc_dapm_stream_event(), called from
the close_delayed_work workqueue handler.
During unbind, snd_soc_unbind_card() flushes delayed work and then
calls soc_cleanup_card_resources(). Inside cleanup,
snd_card_disconnect_sync() releases all PCM file descriptors, and
the resulting PCM close path can call snd_soc_dapm_stream_stop()
which schedules new delayed work with a pmdown_time timer delay.
Since this happens after the flush in snd_soc_unbind_card(), the
new work is not caught. soc_remove_link_components() then frees
DAPM widgets before this work fires, leading to the use-after-free.
The existing flush in soc_free_pcm_runtime() also cannot help as it
runs after soc_remove_link_components() has already freed the widgets.
Add a flush in soc_cleanup_card_resources() after
snd_card_disconnect_sync() (after which no new PCM closes can
schedule further delayed work) and before soc_remove_link_dais()
and soc_remove_link_components() (which tear down the structures the
delayed work accesses).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: rockchip-sfc: Fix double-free in remove() callback
The driver uses devm_spi_register_controller() for registration, which
automatically unregisters the controller via devm cleanup when the
device is removed. The manual call to spi_unregister_controller() in
the remove() callback can lead to a double-free.
And to make sure controller is unregistered before DMA buffer is
unmapped, switch to use spi_register_controller() in probe().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: amlogic: spifc-a4: Fix DMA mapping error handling
Fix three bugs in aml_sfc_dma_buffer_setup() error paths:
1. Unnecessary goto: When the first DMA mapping (sfc->daddr) fails,
nothing needs cleanup. Use direct return instead of goto.
2. Double-unmap bug: When info DMA mapping failed, the code would
unmap sfc->daddr inline, then fall through to out_map_data which
would unmap it again, causing a double-unmap.
3. Wrong unmap size: The out_map_info label used datalen instead of
infolen when unmapping sfc->iaddr, which could lead to incorrect
DMA sync behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
accel/amdxdna: Fix runtime suspend deadlock when there is pending job
The runtime suspend callback drains the running job workqueue before
suspending the device. If a job is still executing and calls
pm_runtime_resume_and_get(), it can deadlock with the runtime suspend
path.
Fix this by moving pm_runtime_resume_and_get() from the job execution
routine to the job submission routine, ensuring the device is resumed
before the job is queued and avoiding the deadlock during runtime
suspend.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: fix PTP use-after-free during reset
Commit 7c01dbfc8a1c5f ("iavf: periodically cache PHC time") introduced a
worker to cache PHC time, but failed to stop it during reset or disable.
This creates a race condition where `iavf_reset_task()` or
`iavf_disable_vf()` free adapter resources (AQ) while the worker is still
running. If the worker triggers `iavf_queue_ptp_cmd()` during teardown, it
accesses freed memory/locks, leading to a crash.
Fix this by calling `iavf_ptp_release()` before tearing down the adapter.
This ensures `ptp_clock_unregister()` synchronously cancels the worker and
cleans up the chardev before the backing resources are destroyed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: Fix race bug in nvme_poll_irqdisable()
In the following scenario, pdev can be disabled between (1) and (3) by
(2). This sets pdev->msix_enabled = 0. Then, pci_irq_vector() will
return MSI-X IRQ(>15) for (1) whereas return INTx IRQ(<=15) for (2).
This causes IRQ warning because it tries to enable INTx IRQ that has
never been disabled before.
To fix this, save IRQ number into a local variable and ensure
disable_irq() and enable_irq() operate on the same IRQ number. Even if
pci_free_irq_vectors() frees the IRQ concurrently, disable_irq() and
enable_irq() on a stale IRQ number is still valid and safe, and the
depth accounting reamins balanced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in nvme_dbbuf_set
dev->online_queues is a count incremented in nvme_init_queue. Thus,
valid indices are 0 through dev->online_queues − 1.
This patch fixes the loop condition to ensure the index stays within the
valid range. Index 0 is excluded because it is the admin queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlink_cthelper: fix OOB read in nfnl_cthelper_dump_table()
nfnl_cthelper_dump_table() has a 'goto restart' that jumps to a label
inside the for loop body. When the "last" helper saved in cb->args[1]
is deleted between dump rounds, every entry fails the (cur != last)
check, so cb->args[1] is never cleared. The for loop finishes with
cb->args[0] == nf_ct_helper_hsize, and the 'goto restart' jumps back
into the loop body bypassing the bounds check, causing an 8-byte
out-of-bounds read on nf_ct_helper_hash[nf_ct_helper_hsize].
The 'goto restart' block was meant to re-traverse the current bucket
when "last" is no longer found, but it was placed after the for loop
instead of inside it. Move the block into the for loop body so that
the restart only occurs while cb->args[0] is still within bounds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: fix entry leak in bridge verdict error path
nfqnl_recv_verdict() calls find_dequeue_entry() to remove the queue
entry from the queue data structures, taking ownership of the entry.
For PF_BRIDGE packets, it then calls nfqa_parse_bridge() to parse VLAN
attributes. If nfqa_parse_bridge() returns an error (e.g. NFQA_VLAN
present but NFQA_VLAN_TCI missing), the function returns immediately
without freeing the dequeued entry or its sk_buff.
This leaks the nf_queue_entry, its associated sk_buff, and all held
references (net_device refcounts, struct net refcount). Repeated
triggering exhausts kernel memory.
Fix this by dropping the entry via nfqnl_reinject() with NF_DROP verdict
on the error path, consistent with other error handling in this file.
