Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix locking usage for tcon fields
We used to use the cifs_tcp_ses_lock to protect a lot of objects
that are not just the server, ses or tcon lists. We later introduced
srv_lock, ses_lock and tc_lock to protect fields within the
corresponding structs. This was done to provide a more granular
protection and avoid unnecessary serialization.
There were still a couple of uses of cifs_tcp_ses_lock to provide
tcon fields. In this patch, I've replaced them with tc_lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: Drop the lock in skb_may_tx_timestamp()
skb_may_tx_timestamp() may acquire sock::sk_callback_lock. The lock must
not be taken in IRQ context, only softirq is okay. A few drivers receive
the timestamp via a dedicated interrupt and complete the TX timestamp
from that handler. This will lead to a deadlock if the lock is already
write-locked on the same CPU.
Taking the lock can be avoided. The socket (pointed by the skb) will
remain valid until the skb is released. The ->sk_socket and ->file
member will be set to NULL once the user closes the socket which may
happen before the timestamp arrives.
If we happen to observe the pointer while the socket is closing but
before the pointer is set to NULL then we may use it because both
pointer (and the file's cred member) are RCU freed.
Drop the lock. Use READ_ONCE() to obtain the individual pointer. Add a
matching WRITE_ONCE() where the pointer are cleared.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: iris: gen2: Add sanity check for session stop
In iris_kill_session, inst->state is set to IRIS_INST_ERROR and
session_close is executed, which will kfree(inst_hfi_gen2->packet).
If stop_streaming is called afterward, it will cause a crash.
Add a NULL check for inst_hfi_gen2->packet before sendling STOP packet
to firmware to fix that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: i2c/tw9903: Fix potential memory leak in tw9903_probe()
In one of the error paths in tw9903_probe(), the memory allocated in
v4l2_ctrl_handler_init() and v4l2_ctrl_new_std() is not freed. Fix that
by calling v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() on the handler in that error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: cpsw_new: Fix potential unregister of netdev that has not been registered yet
If an error occurs during register_netdev() for the first MAC in
cpsw_register_ports(), even though cpsw->slaves[0].ndev is set to NULL,
cpsw->slaves[1].ndev would remain unchanged. This could later cause
cpsw_unregister_ports() to attempt unregistering the second MAC.
To address this, add a check for ndev->reg_state before calling
unregister_netdev(). With this change, setting cpsw->slaves[i].ndev
to NULL becomes unnecessary and can be removed accordingly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: serialize sequence allocation under concurrent TLB invalidations
With concurrent TLB invalidations, completion wait randomly gets timed out
because cmd_sem_val was incremented outside the IOMMU spinlock, allowing
CMD_COMPL_WAIT commands to be queued out of sequence and breaking the
ordering assumption in wait_on_sem().
Move the cmd_sem_val increment under iommu->lock so completion sequence
allocation is serialized with command queuing.
And remove the unnecessary return.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipmi: ipmb: initialise event handler read bytes
IPMB doesn't use i2c reads, but the handler needs to set a value.
Otherwise an i2c read will return an uninitialised value from the bus
driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: verisilicon: AV1: Fix tile info buffer size
Each tile info is composed of: row_sb, col_sb, start_pos
and end_pos (4 bytes each). So the total required memory
is AV1_MAX_TILES * 16 bytes.
Use the correct #define to allocate the buffer and avoid
writing tile info in non-allocated memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mtk-mdp: Fix error handling in probe function
Add mtk_mdp_unregister_m2m_device() on the error handling path to prevent
resource leak.
Add check for the return value of vpu_get_plat_device() to prevent null
pointer dereference. And 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:
net: do not pass flow_id to set_rps_cpu()
Blamed commit made the assumption that the RPS table for each receive
queue would have the same size, and that it would not change.
Compute flow_id in set_rps_cpu(), do not assume we can use the value
computed by get_rps_cpu(). Otherwise we risk out-of-bound access
and/or crashes.
