In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mISDN: fix possible use-after-free in HFC_cleanup()
This module's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function
does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the
timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function
has finished, which would result in a use-after-free.
Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler
has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: common: usb-conn-gpio: fix NULL pointer dereference of charger
When power on system with OTG cable, IDDIG's interrupt arises before
the charger registration, it will cause a NULL pointer dereference,
fix the issue by registering the power supply before requesting
IDDIG/VBUS irq.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usx2y: Don't call free_pages_exact() with NULL address
Unlike some other functions, we can't pass NULL pointer to
free_pages_exact(). Add a proper NULL check for avoiding possible
Oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: alcor_pci: fix null-ptr-deref when there is no PCI bridge
There is an issue with the ASPM(optional) capability checking function.
A device might be attached to root complex directly, in this case,
bus->self(bridge) will be NULL, thus priv->parent_pdev is NULL.
Since alcor_pci_init_check_aspm(priv->parent_pdev) checks the PCI link's
ASPM capability and populate parent_cap_off, which will be used later by
alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() to dynamically turn on/off device, what we can do
here is to avoid checking the capability if we are on the root complex.
This will make pdev_cap_off 0 and alcor_pci_aspm_ctrl() will simply
return when bring called, effectively disable ASPM for the device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc/libmasm/module: Fix two use after free in ibmasm_init_one
In ibmasm_init_one, it calls ibmasm_init_remote_input_dev().
Inside ibmasm_init_remote_input_dev, mouse_dev and keybd_dev are
allocated by input_allocate_device(), and assigned to
sp->remote.mouse_dev and sp->remote.keybd_dev respectively.
In the err_free_devices error branch of ibmasm_init_one,
mouse_dev and keybd_dev are freed by input_free_device(), and return
error. Then the execution runs into error_send_message error branch
of ibmasm_init_one, where ibmasm_free_remote_input_dev(sp) is called
to unregister the freed sp->remote.mouse_dev and sp->remote.keybd_dev.
My patch add a "error_init_remote" label to handle the error of
ibmasm_init_remote_input_dev(), to avoid the uaf bugs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to avoid racing on fsync_entry_slab by multi filesystem instances
As syzbot reported, there is an use-after-free issue during f2fs recovery:
Use-after-free write at 0xffff88823bc16040 (in kfence-#10):

The root cause is multi f2fs filesystem instances can race on accessing
global fsync_entry_slab pointer, result in use-after-free issue of slab
cache, fixes to init/destroy this slab cache only once during module
init/destroy procedure to avoid this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-core: explicitly clear ioctl input data
As seen from a recent syzbot bug report, mistakes in the compat ioctl
implementation can lead to uninitialized kernel stack data getting used
as input for driver ioctl handlers.
The reported bug is now fixed, but it's possible that other related
bugs are still present or get added in the future. As the drivers need
to check user input already, the possible impact is fairly low, but it
might still cause an information leak.
To be on the safe side, always clear the entire ioctl buffer before
calling the conversion handler functions that are meant to initialize
them.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix possible UAF when remounting r/o a mmp-protected file system
After commit 618f003199c6 ("ext4: fix memory leak in
ext4_fill_super"), after the file system is remounted read-only, there
is a race where the kmmpd thread can exit, causing sbi->s_mmp_tsk to
point at freed memory, which the call to ext4_stop_mmpd() can trip
over.
Fix this by only allowing kmmpd() to exit when it is stopped via
ext4_stop_mmpd().
