In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/base/node.c: fix compaction sysfs file leak
Compaction sysfs file is created via compaction_register_node in
register_node. But we forgot to remove it in unregister_node. Thus
compaction sysfs file is leaked. Using compaction_unregister_node to fix
this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hfi1: Prevent panic when SDMA is disabled
If the hfi1 module is loaded with HFI1_CAP_SDMA off, a call to
hfi1_write_iter() will dereference a NULL pointer and panic. A typical
stack frame is:
sdma_select_user_engine [hfi1]
hfi1_user_sdma_process_request [hfi1]
hfi1_write_iter [hfi1]
do_iter_readv_writev
do_iter_write
vfs_writev
do_writev
do_syscall_64
The fix is to test for SDMA in hfi1_write_iter() and fail the I/O with
EINVAL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: gpio-keys - cancel delayed work only in case of GPIO
gpio_keys module can either accept gpios or interrupts. The module
initializes delayed work in case of gpios only and is only used if
debounce timer is not used, so make sure cancel_delayed_work_sync()
is called only when its gpio-backed and debounce_use_hrtimer is false.
This fixes the issue seen below when the gpio_keys module is unloaded and
an interrupt pin is used instead of GPIO:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Avoid pci_dev_lock() AB/BA deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store()
The sysfs sriov_numvfs_store() path acquires the device lock before the
config space access lock:
sriov_numvfs_store
device_lock # A (1) acquire device lock
sriov_configure
vfio_pci_sriov_configure # (for example)
vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure
pci_disable_sriov
sriov_disable
pci_cfg_access_lock
pci_wait_cfg # B (4) wait for dev->block_cfg_access == 0
Previously, pci_dev_lock() acquired the config space access lock before the
device lock:
pci_dev_lock
pci_cfg_access_lock
dev->block_cfg_access = 1 # B (2) set dev->block_cfg_access = 1
device_lock # A (3) wait for device lock
Any path that uses pci_dev_lock(), e.g., pci_reset_function(), may
deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store() if the operations occur in the sequence
(1) (2) (3) (4).
Avoid the deadlock by reversing the order in pci_dev_lock() so it acquires
the device lock before the config space access lock, the same as the
sriov_numvfs_store() path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: fix use-after-free in chanctx code
In ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_context(), when we have an
old context and the new context's replace_state is set to
IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACE_NONE, we free the old context
in ieee80211_vif_use_reserved_reassign(). Therefore, we
cannot check the old_ctx anymore, so we should set it to
NULL after this point.
However, since the new_ctx replace state is clearly not
IEEE80211_CHANCTX_REPLACES_OTHER, we're not going to do
anything else in this function and can just return to
avoid accessing the freed old_ctx.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: annotate races around sk->sk_bound_dev_if
UDP sendmsg() is lockless, and reads sk->sk_bound_dev_if while
this field can be changed by another thread.
Adds minimal annotations to avoid KCSAN splats for UDP.
Following patches will add more annotations to potential lockless readers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: fix plock invalid read
This patch fixes an invalid read showed by KASAN. A unlock will allocate a
"struct plock_op" and a followed send_op() will append it to a global
send_list data structure. In some cases a followed dev_read() moves it
to recv_list and dev_write() will cast it to "struct plock_xop" and access
fields which are only available in those structures. At this point an
invalid read happens by accessing those fields.
To fix this issue the "callback" field is moved to "struct plock_op" to
indicate that a cast to "plock_xop" is allowed and does the additional
"plock_xop" handling if set.
Example of the KASAN output which showed the invalid read:
