In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix use-after-free in session logoff
The sess->user object can currently be in use by another thread, for
example if another connection has sent a session setup request to
bind to the session being free'd. The handler for that connection could
be in the smb2_sess_setup function which makes use of sess->user.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/qcom-mpm: Prevent crash when trying to handle non-wake GPIOs
On Qualcomm chipsets not all GPIOs are wakeup capable. Those GPIOs do not
have a corresponding MPM pin and should not be handled inside the MPM
driver. The IRQ domain hierarchy is always applied, so it's required to
explicitly disconnect the hierarchy for those. The pinctrl-msm driver marks
these with GPIO_NO_WAKE_IRQ. qcom-pdc has a check for this, but
irq-qcom-mpm is currently missing the check. This is causing crashes when
setting up interrupts for non-wake GPIOs:

Fix this by copying the check for GPIO_NO_WAKE_IRQ from qcom-pdc.c, so that
MPM is removed entirely from the hierarchy for non-wake GPIOs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix slab-use-after-free in hdcp
The HDCP code in amdgpu_dm_hdcp.c copies pointers to amdgpu_dm_connector
objects without incrementing the kref reference counts. When using a
USB-C dock, and the dock is unplugged, the corresponding
amdgpu_dm_connector objects are freed, creating dangling pointers in the
HDCP code. When the dock is plugged back, the dangling pointers are
dereferenced, resulting in a slab-use-after-free:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Balance device refcount when destroying devices
Using device_find_child() to lookup the proper SCMI device to destroy
causes an unbalance in device refcount, since device_find_child() calls an
implicit get_device(): this, in turns, inhibits the call of the provided
release methods upon devices destruction.
As a consequence, one of the structures that is not freed properly upon
destruction is the internal struct device_private dev->p populated by the
drivers subsystem core.
KMemleak detects this situation since loading/unloding some SCMI driver
causes related devices to be created/destroyed without calling any
device_release method.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: inftlcore: Add error check for inftl_read_oob()
In INFTL_findwriteunit(), the return value of inftl_read_oob()
need to be checked. A proper implementation can be
found in INFTL_deleteblock(). The status will be set as
SECTOR_IGNORE to break from the while-loop correctly
if the inftl_read_oob() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: hfsc: Fix a UAF vulnerability in class with netem as child qdisc
As described in Gerrard's report [1], we have a UAF case when an hfsc class
has a netem child qdisc. The crux of the issue is that hfsc is assuming
that checking for cl->qdisc->q.qlen == 0 guarantees that it hasn't inserted
the class in the vttree or eltree (which is not true for the netem
duplicate case).
This patch checks the n_active class variable to make sure that the code
won't insert the class in the vttree or eltree twice, catering for the
reentrant case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix WARN_ON(!ctx) in __free_event() for partial init
Move the get_ctx(child_ctx) call and the child_event->ctx assignment to
occur immediately after the child event is allocated. Ensure that
child_event->ctx is non-NULL before any subsequent error path within
inherit_event calls free_event(), satisfying the assumptions of the
cleanup code.
Details:
There's no clear Fixes tag, because this bug is a side-effect of
multiple interacting commits over time (up to 15 years old), not
a single regression.
The code initially incremented refcount then assigned context
immediately after the child_event was created. Later, an early
validity check for child_event was added before the
refcount/assignment. Even later, a WARN_ON_ONCE() cleanup check was
added, assuming event->ctx is valid if the pmu_ctx is valid.
The problem is that the WARN_ON_ONCE() could trigger after the initial
check passed but before child_event->ctx was assigned, violating its
precondition. The solution is to assign child_event->ctx right after
its initial validation. This ensures the context exists for any
subsequent checks or cleanup routines, resolving the WARN_ON_ONCE().
To resolve it, defer the refcount update and child_event->ctx assignment
directly after child_event->pmu_ctx is set but before checking if the
parent event is orphaned. The cleanup routine depends on
event->pmu_ctx being non-NULL before it verifies event->ctx is
non-NULL. This also maintains the author's original intent of passing
in child_ctx to find_get_pmu_context before its refcount/assignment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
9p/net: fix improper handling of bogus negative read/write replies
In p9_client_write() and p9_client_read_once(), if the server
incorrectly replies with success but a negative write/read count then we
would consider written (negative) <= rsize (positive) because both
variables were signed.
Make variables unsigned to avoid this problem.
The reproducer linked below now fails with the following error instead
of a null pointer deref:
9pnet: bogus RWRITE count (4294967295 > 3)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: work around sched_yield not yielding in time-travel mode
sched_yield by a userspace may not actually cause scheduling in
time-travel mode as no time has passed. In the case seen it appears to
be a badly implemented userspace spinlock in ASAN. Unfortunately, with
time-travel it causes an extreme slowdown or even deadlock depending on
the kernel configuration (CONFIG_UML_MAX_USERSPACE_ITERATIONS).
Work around it by accounting time to the process whenever it executes a
sched_yield syscall.
