Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/irdma: avoid invalid read in irdma_net_event
irdma_net_event() should not dereference anything from "neigh" (alias
"ptr") until it has checked that the event is NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE.
Other events come with different structures pointed to by "ptr" and they
may be smaller than struct neighbour.
Move the read of neigh->dev under the NETEVENT_NEIGH_UPDATE case.
The bug is mostly harmless, but it triggers KASAN on debug kernels:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_alloc: change all pageblocks migrate type on coalescing
When a page is freed it coalesces with a buddy into a higher order page
while possible. When the buddy page migrate type differs, it is expected
to be updated to match the one of the page being freed.
However, only the first pageblock of the buddy page is updated, while the
rest of the pageblocks are left unchanged.
That causes warnings in later expand() and other code paths (like below),
since an inconsistency between migration type of the list containing the
page and the page-owned pageblocks migration types is introduced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid5: fix possible null-pointer dereferences in raid5_store_group_thread_cnt()
The variable mddev->private is first assigned to conf and then checked:
conf = mddev->private;
if (!conf) ...
If conf is NULL, then mddev->private is also NULL. In this case,
null-pointer dereferences can occur when calling raid5_quiesce():
raid5_quiesce(mddev, true);
raid5_quiesce(mddev, false);
since mddev->private is assigned to conf again in raid5_quiesce(), and conf
is dereferenced in several places, for example:
conf->quiesce = 0;
wake_up(&conf->wait_for_quiescent);
To fix this issue, the function should unlock mddev and return before
invoking raid5_quiesce() when conf is NULL, following the existing pattern
in raid5_change_consistency_policy().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: adv7842: Avoid possible out-of-bounds array accesses in adv7842_cp_log_status()
It's possible for cp_read() and hdmi_read() to return -EIO. Those
values are further used as indexes for accessing arrays.
Fix that by checking return values where it's needed.

octeontx2-pf: fix "UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds error"
This patch ensures that the RX ring size (rx_pending) is not
set below the permitted length. This avoids UBSAN
shift-out-of-bounds errors when users passes small or zero
ring sizes via ethtool -G.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area
*** Bug description ***
When I tested kexec with the latest kernel, I ran into the following warning:
[ 40.712410] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 40.712576] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1562 at kernel/kexec_core.c:1001 kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198

[...]
[ 40.855423] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
*** How to reproduce ***
This bug is only triggered when the kexec target address is allocated in
the CMA area. If no CMA area is reserved in the kernel, use the "cma="
option in the kernel command line to reserve one.
*** Root cause ***
The commit 07d24902977e ("kexec: enable CMA based contiguous
allocation") allocates the kexec target address directly on the CMA area
to avoid copying during the jump. In this case, there is no IND_SOURCE
for the kexec segment. But the current implementation of
kimage_map_segment() assumes that IND_SOURCE pages exist and map them
into a contiguous virtual address by vmap().
*** Solution ***
If IMA segment is allocated in the CMA area, use its page_address()
directly.

drm/tilcdc: Fix removal actions in case of failed probe
The drm_kms_helper_poll_fini() and drm_atomic_helper_shutdown() helpers
should only be called when the device has been successfully registered.
Currently, these functions are called unconditionally in tilcdc_fini(),
which causes warnings during probe deferral scenarios.

Fix this by rewriting the failed probe cleanup path using the standard
goto error handling pattern, which ensures that cleanup functions are
only called on successfully initialized resources. Additionally, remove
the now-unnecessary is_registered flag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix string copying in parse_apply_sb_mount_options()
strscpy_pad() can't be used to copy a non-NUL-term string into a NUL-term
string of possibly bigger size. Commit 0efc5990bca5 ("string.h: Introduce
memtostr() and memtostr_pad()") provides additional information in that
regard. So if this happens, the following warning is observed:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/a6xx: move preempt_prepare_postamble after error check
Move the call to preempt_prepare_postamble() after verifying that
preempt_postamble_ptr is valid. If preempt_postamble_ptr is NULL,
dereferencing it in preempt_prepare_postamble() would lead to a crash.
This change avoids calling the preparation function when the
postamble allocation has failed, preventing potential NULL pointer
dereference and ensuring proper error handling.
