In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Ensure array index tg_inst won't be -1
[WHY & HOW]
tg_inst will be a negative if timing_generator_count equals 0, which
should be checked before used.
This fixes 2 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix qgroup reserve leaks in cow_file_range
In the buffered write path, the dirty page owns the qgroup reserve until
it creates an ordered_extent.
Therefore, any errors that occur before the ordered_extent is created
must free that reservation, or else the space is leaked. The fstest
generic/475 exercises various IO error paths, and is able to trigger
errors in cow_file_range where we fail to get to allocating the ordered
extent. Note that because we *do* clear delalloc, we are likely to
remove the inode from the delalloc list, so the inodes/pages to not have
invalidate/launder called on them in the commit abort path.
This results in failures at the unmount stage of the test that look like:
BTRFS: error (device dm-8 state EA) in cleanup_transaction:2018: errno=-5 IO failure
BTRFS: error (device dm-8 state EA) in btrfs_replace_file_extents:2416: errno=-5 IO failure
BTRFS warning (device dm-8 state EA): qgroup 0/5 has unreleased space, type 0 rsv 28672

BTRFS error (device dm-8 state EA): qgroup reserved space leaked
Cases 2 and 3 in the out_reserve path both pertain to this type of leak
and must free the reserved qgroup data. Because it is already an error
path, I opted not to handle the possible errors in
btrfs_free_qgroup_data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Skip wbscl_set_scaler_filter if filter is null
Callers can pass null in filter (i.e. from returned from the function
wbscl_get_filter_coeffs_16p) and a null check is added to ensure that is
not the case.
This fixes 4 NULL_RETURNS issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver: iio: add missing checks on iio_info's callback access
Some callbacks from iio_info structure are accessed without any check, so
if a driver doesn't implement them trying to access the corresponding
sysfs entries produce a kernel oops such as:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: altera-msgdma: properly free descriptor in msgdma_free_descriptor
Remove list_del call in msgdma_chan_desc_cleanup, this should be the role
of msgdma_free_descriptor. In consequence replace list_add_tail with
list_move_tail in msgdma_free_descriptor.
This fixes the path:
msgdma_free_chan_resources -> msgdma_free_descriptors ->
msgdma_free_desc_list -> msgdma_free_descriptor
which does not correctly free the descriptors as first nodes were not
removed from the list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: SHAMPO, Fix incorrect page release
Under the following conditions:
1) No skb created yet
2) header_size == 0 (no SHAMPO header)
3) header_index + 1 % MLX5E_SHAMPO_WQ_HEADER_PER_PAGE == 0 (this is the
last page fragment of a SHAMPO header page)
a new skb is formed with a page that is NOT a SHAMPO header page (it
is a regular data page). Further down in the same function
(mlx5e_handle_rx_cqe_mpwrq_shampo()), a SHAMPO header page from
header_index is released. This is wrong and it leads to SHAMPO header
pages being released more than once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: Fix null pointer dereference in trace
ucsi_register_altmode checks IS_ERR for the alt pointer and treats
NULL as valid. When CONFIG_TYPEC_DP_ALTMODE is not enabled,
ucsi_register_displayport returns NULL which causes a NULL pointer
dereference in trace. Rather than return NULL, call
typec_port_register_altmode to register DisplayPort alternate mode
as a non-controllable mode when CONFIG_TYPEC_DP_ALTMODE is not enabled.
