In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
leds: class: Protect brightness_show() with led_cdev->led_access mutex
There is NULL pointer issue observed if from Process A where hid device
being added which results in adding a led_cdev addition and later a
another call to access of led_cdev attribute from Process B can result
in NULL pointer issue.
Use mutex led_cdev->led_access to protect access to led->cdev and its
attribute inside brightness_show() and max_brightness_show() and also
update the comment for mutex that it should be used to protect the led
class device fields.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: Avoid list corruption when removing a slab from the full list
Boot with slub_debug=UFPZ.
If allocated object failed in alloc_consistency_checks, all objects of
the slab will be marked as used, and then the slab will be removed from
the partial list.
When an object belonging to the slab got freed later, the remove_full()
function is called. Because the slab is neither on the partial list nor
on the full list, it eventually lead to a list corruption (actually a
list poison being detected).
So we need to mark and isolate the slab page with metadata corruption,
do not put it back in circulation.
Because the debug caches avoid all the fastpaths, reusing the frozen bit
to mark slab page with metadata corruption seems to be fine.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovl: Filter invalid inodes with missing lookup function
Add a check to the ovl_dentry_weird() function to prevent the
processing of directory inodes that lack the lookup function.
This is important because such inodes can cause errors in overlayfs
when passed to the lowerstack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfsplus: don't query the device logical block size multiple times
Devices block sizes may change. One of these cases is a loop device by
using ioctl LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE.
While this may cause other issues like IO being rejected, in the case of
hfsplus, it will allocate a block by using that size and potentially write
out-of-bounds when hfsplus_read_wrapper calls hfsplus_submit_bio and the
latter function reads a different io_size.
Using a new min_io_size initally set to sb_min_blocksize works for the
purposes of the original fix, since it will be set to the max between
HFSPLUS_SECTOR_SIZE and the first seen logical block size. We still use the
max between HFSPLUS_SECTOR_SIZE and min_io_size in case the latter is not
initialized.
Tested by mounting an hfsplus filesystem with loop block sizes 512, 1024
and 4096.
The produced KASAN report before the fix looks like this:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: Fix memcpy() field-spanning write warning in mwifiex_config_scan()
Replace one-element array with a flexible-array member in `struct
mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params` to fix the following warning
on a MT8173 Chromebook (mt8173-elm-hana):
[ 356.775250] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 356.784543] memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 6) of single field "wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid" at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 (size 1)
[ 356.813403] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 742 at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 mwifiex_scan_networks+0x4fc/0xf28 [mwifiex]
The "(size 6)" above is exactly the length of the SSID of the network
this device was connected to. The source of the warning looks like:
ssid_len = user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid_len;
[...]
memcpy(wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid,
user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid, ssid_len);
There is a #define WILDCARD_SSID_TLV_MAX_SIZE that uses sizeof() on this
struct, but it already didn't account for the size of the one-element
array, so it doesn't need to be changed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: 6fire: Release resources at card release
The current 6fire code tries to release the resources right after the
call of usb6fire_chip_abort(). But at this moment, the card object
might be still in use (as we're calling snd_card_free_when_closed()).
For avoid potential UAFs, move the release of resources to the card's
private_free instead of the manual call of usb6fire_chip_destroy() at
the USB disconnect callback.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: Use snd_card_free_when_closed() at disconnection
The USB disconnect callback is supposed to be short and not too-long
waiting. OTOH, the current code uses snd_card_free() at
disconnection, but this waits for the close of all used fds, hence it
can take long. It eventually blocks the upper layer USB ioctls, which
may trigger a soft lockup.
An easy workaround is to replace snd_card_free() with
snd_card_free_when_closed(). This variant returns immediately while
the release of resources is done asynchronously by the card device
release at the last close.
This patch also splits the code to the disconnect and the free phases;
the former is called immediately at the USB disconnect callback while
the latter is called from the card destructor.

The loop of us122l->mmap_count check is dropped as well. The check is
useless for the asynchronous operation with *_when_closed().
