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:
ASoC: fsl_mqs: move of_node_put() to the correct location
of_node_put() should have been done directly after
mqs_priv->regmap = syscon_node_to_regmap(gpr_np);
otherwise it creates a reference leak on the success path.
To fix this, of_node_put() is moved to the correct location, and change
all the gotos to direct returns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix i_disksize exceeding i_size problem in paritally written case
It is possible for i_disksize can exceed i_size, triggering a warning.
generic_perform_write
copied = iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(len) // copied < len
ext4_da_write_end
| ext4_update_i_disksize
| new_i_size = pos + copied;
| WRITE_ONCE(EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize, newsize) // update i_disksize
| generic_write_end
| copied = block_write_end(copied, len) // copied = 0
| if (unlikely(copied < len))
| if (!PageUptodate(page))
| copied = 0;
| if (pos + copied > inode->i_size) // return false
if (unlikely(copied == 0))
goto again;
if (unlikely(iov_iter_fault_in_readable(i, bytes))) {
status = -EFAULT;
break;
}
We get i_disksize greater than i_size here, which could trigger WARNING
check 'i_size_read(inode) < EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize' while doing dio:
ext4_dio_write_iter
iomap_dio_rw

Call Trace:

Fix it by updating 'copied' value before updating i_disksize just like
ext4_write_inline_data_end() does.

This is due to a mismatch between create and destroy interfaces, and

destroyed by kfree(), while will causing "new_eba_tbl->entries" not
freed.
Fix it by replacing kfree(new_eba_tbl) with
ubi_eba_destroy_table(new_eba_tbl)

The ACPI buffer memory (buf.pointer) should be freed. But the buffer
is also used after returning from acpi_get_dsd_graph().
Move the temporary variables buf to acpi_coresight_parse_graph(),
and free it before the function return to prevent memory leak.
