In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: smscufx: fix error handling code in ufx_usb_probe
The current error handling code in ufx_usb_probe have many unmatching
issues, e.g., missing ufx_free_usb_list, destroy_modedb label should
only include framebuffer_release, fb_dealloc_cmap only matches
fb_alloc_cmap.
My local syzkaller reports a memory leak bug:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: initialize locks earlier in f2fs_fill_super()
syzbot is reporting lockdep warning at f2fs_handle_error() [1], for
spin_lock(&sbi->error_lock) is called before spin_lock_init() is called.
For safe locking in error handling, move initialization of locks (and
obvious structures) in f2fs_fill_super() to immediately after memory
allocation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: allow exp not to be removed in nf_ct_find_expectation
Currently nf_conntrack_in() calling nf_ct_find_expectation() will
remove the exp from the hash table. However, in some scenario, we
expect the exp not to be removed when the created ct will not be
confirmed, like in OVS and TC conntrack in the following patches.
This patch allows exp not to be removed by setting IPS_CONFIRMED
in the status of the tmpl.

If drop_monitor is built as a kernel module, syzkaller may have time
to send a netlink NET_DM_CMD_START message during the module loading.
This will call the net_dm_monitor_start() function that uses
a spinlock that has not yet been initialized.
To fix this, let's place resource initialization above the registration
of a generic netlink family.
Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
acct: perform last write from workqueue
In [1] it was reported that the acct(2) system call can be used to
trigger NULL deref in cases where it is set to write to a file that
triggers an internal lookup. This can e.g., happen when pointing acc(2)
to /sys/power/resume. At the point the where the write to this file
happens the calling task has already exited and called exit_fs(). A
lookup will thus trigger a NULL-deref when accessing current->fs.
Reorganize the code so that the the final write happens from the
workqueue but with the caller's credentials. This preserves the
(strange) permission model and has almost no regression risk.
This api should stop to exist though.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Avoid use of NULL after WARN_ON_ONCE
There is a WARN_ON_ONCE to catch an unlikely situation when
domain_remove_dev_pasid can't find the `pasid`. In case it nevertheless
happens we must avoid using a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: skip dumping tnc tree when zroot is null
Clearing slab cache will free all znode in memory and make
c->zroot.znode = NULL, then dumping tnc tree will access
c->zroot.znode which cause null pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix race at SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC
There is a small race window at snd_pcm_oss_sync() that is called from
OSS PCM SNDCTL_DSP_SYNC ioctl; namely the function calls
snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() at first, then takes the params_lock mutex
for the rest. When the stream is set up again by another thread
between them, it leads to inconsistency, and may result in unexpected
results such as NULL dereference of OSS buffer as a fuzzer spotted
recently.
The fix is simply to cover snd_pcm_oss_make_ready() call into the same
params_lock mutex with snd_pcm_oss_make_ready_locked() variant.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: clear acl_access/acl_default after releasing them
If getting acl_default fails, acl_access and acl_default will be released
simultaneously. However, acl_access will still retain a pointer pointing
to the released posix_acl, which will trigger a WARNING in
nfs3svc_release_getacl like this:
