Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Drivers: vmbus: Check for channel allocation before looking up relids
relid2channel() assumes vmbus channel array to be allocated when called.
However, in cases such as kdump/kexec, not all relids will be reset by the host.
When the second kernel boots and if the guest receives a vmbus interrupt during
vmbus driver initialization before vmbus_connect() is called, before it finishes,
or if it fails, the vmbus interrupt service routine is called which in turn calls
relid2channel() and can cause a null pointer dereference.
Print a warning and error out in relid2channel() for a channel id that's invalid
in the second kernel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: mediatek: mt8183: Add back SSPM related clocks
This reverts commit 860690a93ef23b567f781c1b631623e27190f101.
On the MT8183, the SSPM related clocks were removed claiming a lack of
usage. This however causes some issues when the driver was converted to
the new simple-probe mechanism. This mechanism allocates enough space
for all the clocks defined in the clock driver, not the highest index
in the DT binding. This leads to out-of-bound writes if their are holes
in the DT binding or the driver (due to deprecated or unimplemented
clocks). These errors can go unnoticed and cause memory corruption,
leading to crashes in unrelated areas, or nothing at all. KASAN will
detect them.
Add the SSPM related clocks back to the MT8183 clock driver to fully
implement the DT binding. The SSPM clocks are for the power management
co-processor, and should never be turned off. They are marked as such.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: fix a possible null-pointer dereference due to data race in snd_hdac_regmap_sync()
The variable codec->regmap is often protected by the lock
codec->regmap_lock when is accessed. However, it is accessed without
holding the lock when is accessed in snd_hdac_regmap_sync():
if (codec->regmap)
In my opinion, this may be a harmful race, because if codec->regmap is
set to NULL right after the condition is checked, a null-pointer
dereference can occur in the called function regcache_sync():
map->lock(map->lock_arg); --> Line 360 in drivers/base/regmap/regcache.c
To fix this possible null-pointer dereference caused by data race, the
mutex_lock coverage is extended to protect the if statement as well as the
function call to regcache_sync().
[ Note: the lack of the regmap_lock itself is harmless for the current
codec driver implementations, as snd_hdac_regmap_sync() is only for
PM runtime resume that is prohibited during the codec probe.
But the change makes the whole code more consistent, so it's merged
as is -- tiwai ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: Free memory for tmpfile name
When opening a ubifs tmpfile on an encrypted directory, function
fscrypt_setup_filename allocates memory for the name that is to be
stored in the directory entry, but after the name has been copied to the
directory entry inode, the memory is not freed.
When running kmemleak on it we see that it is registered as a leak. The
report below is triggered by a simple program 'tmpfile' just opening a
tmpfile:
unreferenced object 0xffff88810178f380 (size 32):
comm "tmpfile", pid 509, jiffies 4294934744 (age 1524.742s)
backtrace:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: vmw_balloon: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at
once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: imx: clk-imxrt1050: fix memory leak in imxrt1050_clocks_probe
Use devm_of_iomap() instead of of_iomap() to automatically
handle the unused ioremap region. If any error occurs, regions allocated by
kzalloc() will leak, but using devm_kzalloc() instead will automatically
free the memory using devm_kfree().
Also, fix error handling of hws by adding unregister_hws label, which
unregisters remaining hws when iomap failed.
