In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: Always check queue mode setting from configfs
Make sure to check device queue mode in the null_validate_conf() and
return error for NULL_Q_RQ as we don't allow legacy I/O path, without
this patch we get OOPs when queue mode is set to 1 from configfs,
following are repro steps :-
modprobe null_blk nr_devices=0
mkdir config/nullb/nullb0
echo 1 > config/nullb/nullb0/memory_backed
echo 4096 > config/nullb/nullb0/blocksize
echo 20480 > config/nullb/nullb0/size
echo 1 > config/nullb/nullb0/queue_mode
echo 1 > config/nullb/nullb0/power

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

The root cause is the same as commit 436901649731 ("bpf: cpumap: Fix memory
leak in cpu_map_update_elem"). The kthread is stopped prematurely by
kthread_stop() in cpu_map_kthread_stop(), and kthread() doesn't call
cpu_map_kthread_run() at all but XDP program has already queued some
frames or skbs into ptr_ring. So when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() checks
the ptr_ring, it will find it was not emptied and report a warning.
An alternative fix is to use __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() to drop these
pending frames or skbs when kthread_stop() returns -EINTR, but it may
confuse the user, because these frames or skbs have been handled
correctly by XDP program. So instead of dropping these frames or skbs,
just make sure the per-cpu kthread is running before
__cpu_map_entry_alloc() returns.
After apply the fix, the error handle for kthread_stop() will be
unnecessary because it will always return 0, so just remove it.

It is because that skb->len requires at least sizeof(struct qrtr_ctrl_pkt)
in qrtr_tx_resume(). And skb->len equals to size in qrtr_endpoint_post().
But size is less than sizeof(struct qrtr_ctrl_pkt) when qrtr_cb->type
equals to QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX in qrtr_endpoint_post() under the syzbot
scenario. This triggers the uninit variable access bug.
Add size check when qrtr_cb->type equals to QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX in
qrtr_endpoint_post() to fix the bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Check for NOT_READY flag state after locking
Currently the check for NOT_READY flag is performed before obtaining the
necessary lock. This opens a possibility for race condition when the flow
is concurrently removed from unready_flows list by the workqueue task,
which causes a double-removal from the list and a crash[0]. Fix the issue
by moving the flag check inside the section protected by
uplink_priv->unready_flows_lock mutex.

wifi: brcmfmac: ensure CLM version is null-terminated to prevent stack-out-of-bounds
Fix a stack-out-of-bounds read in brcmfmac that occurs
when 'buf' that is not null-terminated is passed as an argument of
strreplace() in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds(). This buffer is filled with
a CLM version string by memcpy() in brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get().
Ensure buf is null-terminated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: fix null deref on element insertion
There is no guarantee that rb_prev() will not return NULL in nft_rbtree_gc_elem():
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000003: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000018-0x000000000000001f]

Furthermore, there is a possible use-after-free while iterating,
'node' can be free'd so we need to cache the next value to use.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: qup: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path
Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this
case the dma resources are not released in the error path. this is never
retried later and so this is a permanent leak. To fix this, only skip
hardware disabling if waking the device fails.

allocated resources. Do it.
