In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: davinci: Fix clk use after free
The remove function first frees the clks and only then calls
cpufreq_unregister_driver(). If one of the cpufreq callbacks is called
just before cpufreq_unregister_driver() is run, the freed clks might be
used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: unmap and remove csa_va properly
Root PD BO should be reserved before unmap and remove
a bo_va from VM otherwise lockdep will complain.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: DR, fix memory leak in mlx5dr_cmd_create_reformat_ctx
when mlx5_cmd_exec failed in mlx5dr_cmd_create_reformat_ctx, the memory
pointed by 'in' is not released, which will cause memory leak. Move memory
release after mlx5_cmd_exec.

This occurs when logical inode resolution takes a tree mod log sequence
number, and then while backref walking hits a rewind on a busy node
which has the following sequence of tree mod log operations (numbers
filled in from a specific example, but they are somewhat arbitrary)
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 532
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 531
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 530
...
REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING slot 0
REMOVE slot 455
REMOVE slot 454
REMOVE slot 453
...
REMOVE slot 0
ADD slot 455
ADD slot 454
ADD slot 453
...
ADD slot 0
MOVE src slot 0 -> dst slot 456 nritems 533
REMOVE slot 455
REMOVE slot 454
REMOVE slot 453
...
REMOVE slot 0
When this sequence gets applied via btrfs_tree_mod_log_rewind, it
allocates a fresh rewind eb, and first inserts the correct key info for
the 533 elements, then overwrites the first 456 of them, then decrements
the count by 456 via the add ops, then rewinds the move by doing a
memmove from 456:988->0:532. We have never written anything past 532,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/rxe: Fix incomplete state save in rxe_requester
If a send packet is dropped by the IP layer in rxe_requester()
the call to rxe_xmit_packet() can fail with err == -EAGAIN.
To recover, the state of the wqe is restored to the state before
the packet was sent so it can be resent. However, the routines
that save and restore the state miss a significnt part of the
variable state in the wqe, the dma struct which is used to process
through the sge table. And, the state is not saved before the packet
is built which modifies the dma struct.
Under heavy stress testing with many QPs on a fast node sending
large messages to a slow node dropped packets are observed and
the resent packets are corrupted because the dma struct was not
restored. This patch fixes this behavior and allows the test cases
to succeed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: fix use-after-free on probe deferral
The bridge counter was never reset when tearing down the DRM device so
that stale pointers to deallocated structures would be accessed on the
next tear down (e.g. after a second late bind deferral).
Given enough bridges and a few probe deferrals this could currently also
lead to data beyond the bridge array being corrupted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qed: Don't collect too many protection override GRC elements
In the protection override dump path, the firmware can return far too
many GRC elements, resulting in attempting to write past the end of the
previously-kmalloc'ed dump buffer.
This will result in a kernel panic with reason:
BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ADDRESS
where "ADDRESS" is just past the end of the protection override dump
buffer. The start address of the buffer is:
p_hwfn->cdev->dbg_features[DBG_FEATURE_PROTECTION_OVERRIDE].dump_buf
and the size of the buffer is buf_size in the same data structure.
The panic can be arrived at from either the qede Ethernet driver path:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: virtio_uml: Fix use-after-free after put_device in probe
When register_virtio_device() fails in virtio_uml_probe(),
the code sets vu_dev->registered = 1 even though
the device was not successfully registered.
This can lead to use-after-free or other issues.
