In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vkms: Fix null-ptr-deref in vkms_release()
A null-ptr-deref is triggered when it tries to destroy the workqueue in
vkms->output.composer_workq in vkms_release().
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000118-0x000000000000011f]

The reason is that an OOM happened which triggers the destroy of the
workqueue, however, the workqueue is alloced in the later process,
thus a null-ptr-deref happened. A simple call graph is shown as below:
vkms_init()
vkms_create()
devm_drm_dev_alloc()
__devm_drm_dev_alloc()
devm_drm_dev_init()
devm_add_action_or_reset()
devm_add_action() # an error happened
devm_drm_dev_init_release()
drm_dev_put()
kref_put()
drm_dev_release()
vkms_release()
destroy_workqueue() # null-ptr-deref happened
vkms_modeset_init()
vkms_output_init()
vkms_crtc_init() # where the workqueue get allocated
Fix this by checking if composer_workq is NULL before passing it to
the destroy_workqueue() in vkms_release().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sched: sfb: fix null pointer access issue when sfb_init() fails
When the default qdisc is sfb, if the qdisc of dev_queue fails to be
inited during mqprio_init(), sfb_reset() is invoked to clear resources.
In this case, the q->qdisc is NULL, and it will cause gpf issue.
The process is as follows:
qdisc_create_dflt()
sfb_init()
tcf_block_get() --->failed, q->qdisc is NULL
...
qdisc_put()
...
sfb_reset()
qdisc_reset(q->qdisc) --->q->qdisc is NULL
ops = qdisc->ops
The following is the Call Trace information:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
brcmfmac: return error when getting invalid max_flowrings from dongle
When firmware hit trap at initialization, host will read abnormal
max_flowrings number from dongle, and it will cause kernel panic when
doing iowrite to initialize dongle ring.
To detect this error at early stage, we directly return error when getting
invalid max_flowrings(>256).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dp: fix aux-bus EP lifetime
Device-managed resources allocated post component bind must be tied to
the lifetime of the aggregate DRM device or they will not necessarily be
released when binding of the aggregate device is deferred.
This can lead resource leaks or failure to bind the aggregate device
when binding is later retried and a second attempt to allocate the
resources is made.
For the DP aux-bus, an attempt to populate the bus a second time will
simply fail ("DP AUX EP device already populated").
Fix this by tying the lifetime of the EP device to the DRM device rather
than DP controller platform device.

unregister operation in error handling path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: wmt-sdmmc: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory
that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel
crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path.
So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call
mmc_free_host(), besides, clk_disable_unprepare() also needs be called.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Enhance sanity check while generating attr_list
ni_create_attr_list uses WARN_ON to catch error cases while generating
attribute list, which only prints out stack trace and may not be enough.
This repalces them with more proper error handling flow.
