In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: scsi_dh_alua: Fix memleak for 'qdata' in alua_activate()
If alua_rtpg_queue() failed from alua_activate(), then 'qdata' is not
freed, which will cause following memleak:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix steering rules cleanup
vport's mc, uc and multicast rules are not deleted in teardown path when
EEH happens. Since the vport's promisc settings(uc, mc and all) in
firmware are reset after EEH, mlx5 driver will try to delete the above
rules in the initialization path. This cause kernel crash because these
software rules are no longer valid.
Fix by nullifying these rules right after delete to avoid accessing any dangling
pointers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: smsc95xx: Limit packet length to skb->len
Packet length retrieved from descriptor may be larger than
the actual socket buffer length. In such case the cloned
skb passed up the network stack will leak kernel memory contents.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm crypt: add cond_resched() to dmcrypt_write()
The loop in dmcrypt_write may be running for unbounded amount of time,
thus we need cond_resched() in it.
This commit fixes the following warning:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: intel-ish-hid: ipc: Fix potential use-after-free in work function
When a reset notify IPC message is received, the ISR schedules a work
function and passes the ISHTP device to it via a global pointer
ishtp_dev. If ish_probe() fails, the devm-managed device resources
including ishtp_dev are freed, but the work is not cancelled, causing a
use-after-free when the work function tries to access ishtp_dev. Use
devm_work_autocancel() instead, so that the work is automatically
cancelled if probe fails.

The command was completed in the abort path during driver unload with a
lock held, causing the warning in abort path. Hence complete the command
without any lock held.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure
Check alloc_precpu()'s return value and return an error from
dm_stats_init() if it fails. Update alloc_dev() to fail if
dm_stats_init() does.
Otherwise, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in dm_stats_cleanup()
even if dm-stats isn't being actively used.
