In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: annotate data-races around kcm->rx_psock
kcm->rx_psock can be read locklessly in kcm_rfree().
Annotate the read and writes accordingly.
We do the same for kcm->rx_wait in the following patch.
syzbot reported:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/drivers/hisi: Drop second sensor hi3660
The commit 74c8e6bffbe1 ("driver core: Add __alloc_size hint to devm
allocators") exposes a panic "BRK handler: Fatal exception" on the
hi3660_thermal_probe funciton.
This is because the function allocates memory for only one
sensors array entry, but tries to fill up a second one.
Fix this by removing the unneeded second access.
nfsd: call op_release, even when op_func returns an error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: call op_release, even when op_func returns an error
For ops with "trivial" replies, nfsd4_encode_operation will shortcut
most of the encoding work and skip to just marshalling up the status.
One of the things it skips is calling op_release. This could cause a
memory leak in the layoutget codepath if there is an error at an
inopportune time.
Have the compound processing engine always call op_release, even when
op_func sets an error in op->status. With this change, we also need
nfsd4_block_get_device_info_scsi to set the gd_device pointer to NULL
on error to avoid a do
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/mdp5: Add check for kzalloc
As kzalloc may fail and return NULL pointer,
it should be better to check the return value
in order to avoid the NULL pointer dereference.

phy: hisilicon: Fix an out of bounds check in hisi_inno_phy_probe()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: hisilicon: Fix an out of bounds check in hisi_inno_phy_probe()
The size of array 'priv->ports[]' is INNO_PHY_PORT_NUM.
In the for loop, 'i' is used as the index for array 'priv->ports[]'
with a check (i > INNO_PHY_PORT_NUM) which indicates that
INNO_PHY_PORT_NUM is allowed value for 'i' in the same loop.
This > comparison needs to be changed to >=, otherwise it potentially leads
to an out of bounds write on the next iteration through the loop

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Make sure mwifiex_process_mgmt_packet,

spi: imx: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: imx: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path
Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this
case the dma resources are not released in the error path. this is never
retried later and so this is a permanent leak. To fix this, only skip
hardware disabling if waking the device fails.
ext4: Fix function prototype mismatch for ext4_feat_ktype
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: Fix function prototype mismatch for ext4_feat_ktype
With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed.
ext4_feat_ktype was setting the "release" handler to "kfree", which
doesn't have a matching function prototype. Add a simple wrapper
with the correct prototype.
This was fou
drm/msm/dsi: Add missing check for alloc_ordered_workqueue
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

NULL pointer and cause NULL pointer dereference.

jfs: jfs_dmap: Validate db_l2nbperpage while mounting
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: jfs_dmap: Validate db_l2nbperpage while mounting
In jfs_dmap.c at line 381, BLKTODMAP is used to get a logical block
number inside dbFree(). db_l2nbperpage, which is the log2 number of
blocks per page, is passed as an argument to BLKTODMAP which uses it
for shifting.
Syzbot reported a shift out-of-bounds crash because db_l2nbperpage is
too big. This happens because the large value is set without any
validation in dbMount() at line 181.
Thus, make sure that db_l2nbperpage is correct while mounting.
Max number of blocks per page = Page size / Min block size
=> log2(Ma
media: az6007: Fix null-ptr-deref in az6007_i2c_xfer()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: az6007: Fix null-ptr-deref in az6007_i2c_xfer()
In az6007_i2c_xfer, msg is controlled by user. When msg[i].buf
is null and msg[i].len is zero, former checks on msg[i].buf would be
passed. Malicious data finally reach az6007_i2c_xfer. If accessing
msg[i].buf[0] without sanity check, null ptr deref would happen.
We add check on msg[i].len to prevent crash.

media: netup_unidvb: fix use-after-free at del_timer()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: netup_unidvb: fix use-after-free at del_timer()
When Universal DVB card is detaching, netup_unidvb_dma_fini()
uses del_timer() to stop dma->timeout timer. But when timer
handler netup_unidvb_dma_timeout() is running, del_timer()
could not stop it. As a result, the use-after-free bug could
happen. The process is shown below:
(cleanup routine) | (timer routine)
| mod_timer(&dev->tx_sim_timer, ..)
netup_unidvb_finidev() | (wait a time)
