In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: minimal: fix potential memory leak in mlxsw_m_linecards_init
The line cards array is not freed in the error path of
mlxsw_m_linecards_init(), which can lead to a memory leak. Fix by
freeing the array in the error path, thereby making the error path
identical to mlxsw_m_linecards_fini().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: qcom: Fix potential memory leak
Function dwc3_qcom_probe() allocates memory for resource structure
which is pointed by parent_res pointer. This memory is not
freed. This leads to memory leak. Use stack memory to prevent
memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-buf/dma-resv: Stop leaking on krealloc() failure
Currently dma_resv_get_fences() will leak the previously
allocated array if the fence iteration got restarted and
the krealloc_array() fails.
Free the old array by hand, and make sure we still clear
the returned *fences so the caller won't end up accessing
freed memory. Some (but not all) of the callers of
dma_resv_get_fences() seem to still trawl through the
array even when dma_resv_get_fences() failed. And let's
zero out *num_fences as well for good measure.

Add a simple check that avoids incrementing a pointer by zero, but
otherwise behaves as before. Note that our findings are against ACPICA
20221020, but the same code exists on master.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: don't allow to overwrite ENDPOINT0 attributes
A bad USB device is able to construct a service connection response
message with target endpoint being ENDPOINT0 which is reserved for
HTC_CTRL_RSVD_SVC and should not be modified to be used for any other
services.
Reject such service connection responses.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skbuff: Fix a race between coalescing and releasing SKBs
Commit 1effe8ca4e34 ("skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment
recycling") allowed coalescing to proceed with non page pool page and page
pool page when @from is cloned, i.e.
to->pp_recycle --> false
from->pp_recycle --> true
skb_cloned(from) --> true
However, it actually requires skb_cloned(@from) to hold true until
coalescing finishes in this situation. If the other cloned SKB is
released while the merging is in process, from_shinfo->nr_frags will be
set to 0 toward the end of the function, causing the increment of frag
page _refcount to be unexpectedly skipped resulting in inconsistent
reference counts. Later when SKB(@to) is released, it frees the page
directly even though the page pool page is still in use, leading to
use-after-free or double-free errors. So it should be prohibited.
The double-free error message below prompted us to investigate:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails
If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() needs
be freed. As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used
to decrease the reference count in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: hv: Fix a crash in hv_pci_restore_msi_msg() during hibernation
When a Linux VM with an assigned PCI device runs on Hyper-V, if the PCI
device driver is not loaded yet (i.e. MSI-X/MSI is not enabled on the
device yet), doing a VM hibernation triggers a panic in
hv_pci_restore_msi_msg() -> msi_lock_descs(&pdev->dev), because
pdev->dev.msi.data is still NULL.
Avoid the panic by checking if MSI-X/MSI is enabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250: Reinit port->pm on port specific driver unbind
When we unbind a serial port hardware specific 8250 driver, the generic
serial8250 driver takes over the port. After that we see an oops about 10
seconds later. This can produce the following at least on some TI SoCs:
Unhandled fault: imprecise external abort (0x1406)
Internal error: : 1406 [#1] SMP ARM
Turns out that we may still have the serial port hardware specific driver
port->pm in use, and serial8250_pm() tries to call it after the port
specific driver is gone:
serial8250_pm [8250_base] from uart_change_pm+0x54/0x8c [serial_base]
uart_change_pm [serial_base] from uart_hangup+0x154/0x198 [serial_base]
uart_hangup [serial_base] from __tty_hangup.part.0+0x328/0x37c
__tty_hangup.part.0 from disassociate_ctty+0x154/0x20c
disassociate_ctty from do_exit+0x744/0xaac
do_exit from do_group_exit+0x40/0x8c
do_group_exit from __wake_up_parent+0x0/0x1c
Let's fix the issue by calling serial8250_set_defaults() in
serial8250_unregister_port(). This will set the port back to using
the serial8250 default functions, and sets the port->pm to point to
serial8250_pm.
