In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: reject duplicate device on updates
A chain/flowtable update with duplicated devices in the same batch is
possible. Unfortunately, netdev event path only removes the first
device that is found, leaving unregistered the hook of the duplicated
device.
Check if a duplicated device exists in the transaction batch, bail out
with EEXIST in such case.
WARNING is hit when unregistering the hook:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: No more self recovery
When a node withdraws and it turns out that it is the only node that has
the filesystem mounted, gfs2 currently tries to replay the local journal
to bring the filesystem back into a consistent state. Not only is that
a very bad idea, it has also never worked because gfs2_recover_func()
will refuse to do anything during a withdraw.
However, before even getting to this point, gfs2_recover_func()
dereferences sdp->sd_jdesc->jd_inode. This was a use-after-free before
commit 04133b607a78 ("gfs2: Prevent double iput for journal on error")
and is a NULL pointer dereference since then.
Simply get rid of self recovery to fix that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
[ceph] parse_longname(): strrchr() expects NUL-terminated string
... and parse_longname() is not guaranteed that. That's the reason
why it uses kmemdup_nul() to build the argument for kstrtou64();
the problem is, kstrtou64() is not the only thing that need it.
Just get a NUL-terminated copy of the entire thing and be done
with that...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: stm32: Check for cfg availability in stm32_spi_probe
The stm32_spi_probe function now includes a check to ensure that the
pointer returned by of_device_get_match_data is not NULL before
accessing its members. This resolves a warning where a potential NULL
pointer dereference could occur when accessing cfg->has_device_mode.
Before accessing the 'has_device_mode' member, we verify that 'cfg' is
not NULL. If 'cfg' is NULL, an error message is logged.
This change ensures that the driver does not attempt to access
configuration data if it is not available, thus preventing a potential
system crash due to a NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Disable migration in nf_hook_run_bpf().
syzbot reported that the netfilter bpf prog can be called without
migration disabled in xmit path.
Then the assertion in __bpf_prog_run() fails, triggering the splat
below. [0]
Let's use bpf_prog_run_pin_on_cpu() in nf_hook_run_bpf().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: Add missing lock in cfg80211_check_and_end_cac()
Callers of wdev_chandef() must hold the wiphy mutex.
But the worker cfg80211_propagate_cac_done_wk() never takes the lock.
Which triggers the warning below with the mesh_peer_connected_dfs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: avoid NULL dereference when RX problematic packet on unsupported 6 GHz band
With a quite rare chance, RX report might be problematic to make SW think
a packet is received on 6 GHz band even if the chip does not support 6 GHz
band actually. Since SW won't initialize stuffs for unsupported bands, NULL
dereference will happen then in the sequence, rtw89_vif_rx_stats_iter() ->
rtw89_core_cancel_6ghz_probe_tx(). So, add a check to avoid it.
The following is a crash log for this case.

rv: Use strings in da monitors tracepoints
Using DA monitors tracepoints with KASAN enabled triggers the following
warning:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in do_trace_event_raw_event_event_da_monitor+0xd6/0x1a0

trace_event_sncid+0x163/0x200
[...]
The buggy address belongs to the variable:
automaton_snep+0x4e0/0x5e0
This is caused by the tracepoints reading 32 bytes __array instead of
__string from the automata definition. Such strings are literals and
reading 32 bytes ends up in out of bound memory accesses (e.g. the next
automaton's data in this case).
The error is harmless as, while printing the string, we stop at the null
terminator, but it should still be fixed.
Use the __string facilities while defining the tracepoints to avoid
reading out of bound memory.

RIP: 0010:new_curseg+0x70f/0x720
The root cause of we run out-of-space is: in f2fs_map_blocks(), f2fs may
trigger foreground gc only if it allocates any physical block, it will be
a little bit later when there is multiple threads writing data w/
aio/dio/bufio method in parallel, since we always use OPU in lfs mode, so
f2fs_map_blocks() does block allocations aggressively.
In order to fix this issue, let's give a chance to trigger foreground
gc in prior to block allocation in f2fs_map_blocks().
