In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/rtas: Prevent Spectre v1 gadget construction in sys_rtas()
Smatch warns:
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:1932 __do_sys_rtas() warn: potential
spectre issue 'args.args' [r] (local cap)
The 'nargs' and 'nret' locals come directly from a user-supplied
buffer and are used as indexes into a small stack-based array and as
inputs to copy_to_user() after they are subject to bounds checks.
Use array_index_nospec() after the bounds checks to clamp these values
for speculative execution.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Run DC_LOG_DC after checking link->link_enc
[WHAT]
The DC_LOG_DC should be run after link->link_enc is checked, not before.
This fixes 1 REVERSE_INULL issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Avoid excessive partition lengths
Avoid mounting filesystems where the partition would overflow the
32-bits used for block number. Also refuse to mount filesystems where
the partition length is so large we cannot safely index bits in a
block bitmap.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check UnboundedRequestEnabled's value
CalculateSwathAndDETConfiguration_params_st's UnboundedRequestEnabled
is a pointer (i.e. dml_bool_t *UnboundedRequestEnabled), and thus
if (p->UnboundedRequestEnabled) checks its address, not bool value.
This fixes 1 REVERSE_INULL issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix missing cleanup on rollforward recovery error
In an error injection test of a routine for mount-time recovery, KASAN
found a use-after-free bug.
It turned out that if data recovery was performed using partial logs
created by dsync writes, but an error occurred before starting the log
writer to create a recovered checkpoint, the inodes whose data had been
recovered were left in the ns_dirty_files list of the nilfs object and
were not freed.
Fix this issue by cleaning up inodes that have read the recovery data if
the recovery routine fails midway before the log writer starts.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: don't BUG_ON() when 0 reference count at btrfs_lookup_extent_info()
Instead of doing a BUG_ON() handle the error by returning -EUCLEAN,
aborting the transaction and logging an error message.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: Do not return unused priv in mwifiex_get_priv_by_id()
mwifiex_get_priv_by_id() returns the priv pointer corresponding to
the bss_num and bss_type, but without checking if the priv is actually
currently in use.
Unused priv pointers do not have a wiphy attached to them which can
lead to NULL pointer dereferences further down the callstack. Fix
this by returning only used priv pointers which have priv->bss_mode
set to something else than NL80211_IFTYPE_UNSPECIFIED.
Said NULL pointer dereference happened when an Accesspoint was started
with wpa_supplicant -i mlan0 with this config:
network={
ssid="somessid"
mode=2
frequency=2412
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK WPA-PSK-SHA256
proto=RSN
group=CCMP
pairwise=CCMP
psk="12345678"
}
When waiting for the AP to be established, interrupting wpa_supplicant
with <ctrl-c> and starting it again this happens:
