hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs
If coretemp_add_core() gets an error then pdata->core_data[indx]
is already NULL and has been kfreed. Don't pass that to
sysfs_remove_group() as that will crash in sysfs_remove_group().

tracing: Free buffers when a used dynamic event is removed
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Free buffers when a used dynamic event is removed
After 65536 dynamic events have been added and removed, the "type" field
of the event then uses the first type number that is available (not
currently used by other events). A type number is the identifier of the
binary blobs in the tracing ring buffer (known as events) to map them to
logic that can parse the binary blob.
The issue is that if a dynamic event (like a kprobe event) is traced and
is in the ring buffer, and then that event is removed (because it is
dynamic, which means it can be created and destroyed),
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: ops: Fix bounds check for _sx controls
For _sx controls the semantics of the max field is not the usual one, max
is the number of steps rather than the maximum value. This means that our

value.
iommu/vt-d: Fix PCI device refcount leak in dmar_dev_scope_init()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix PCI device refcount leak in dmar_dev_scope_init()
for_each_pci_dev() is implemented by pci_get_device(). The comment of
pci_get_device() says that it will increase the reference count for the
returned pci_dev and also decrease the reference count for the input
pci_dev @from if it is not NULL.
If we break for_each_pci_dev() loop with pdev not NULL, we need to call
pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count. Add the missing
pci_dev_put() for the error path to avoid reference count leak.

char: tpm: Protect tpm_pm_suspend with locks
Currently tpm transactions are executed unconditionally in
tpm_pm_suspend() function, which may lead to races with other tpm
accessors in the system.
Specifically, the hw_random tpm driver makes use of tpm_get_random(),
and this function is called in a loop from a kthread, which means it's
not frozen alongside userspace, and so can race with the work done

ALSA: seq: Fix function prototype mismatch in snd_seq_expand_var_event

With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),

mm/khugepaged: invoke MMU notifiers in shmem/file collapse paths
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/khugepaged: invoke MMU notifiers in shmem/file collapse paths
Any codepath that zaps page table entries must invoke MMU notifiers to
ensure that secondary MMUs (like KVM) don't keep accessing pages which
aren't mapped anymore. Secondary MMUs don't hold their own references to
pages that are mirrored over, so failing to notify them can lead to page
use-after-free.
I'm marking this as addressing an issue introduced in commit f3f0e1d2150b
("khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages"), but most of
the security impact of this only came in commit 27e1f8273113
memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_write_event_control()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_write_event_control()
memcg_write_event_control() accesses the dentry->d_name of the specified
control fd to route the write call. As a cgroup interface file can't be
renamed, it's safe to access d_name as long as the specified file is a
regular cgroup file. Also, as these cgroup interface files can't be
removed before the directory, it's safe to access the parent too.
Prior to 347c4a874710 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event->cft"), there was a
call to __file_cft() which verified that the specified file is a regular
cgroupfs file bef
media: v4l2-dv-timings.c: fix too strict blanking sanity checks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l2-dv-timings.c: fix too strict blanking sanity checks
Sanity checks were added to verify the v4l2_bt_timings blanking fields
in order to avoid integer overflows when userspace passes weird values.
But that assumed that userspace would correctly fill in the front porch,
backporch and sync values, but sometimes all you know is the total
blanking, which is then assigned to just one of these fields.
And that can fail with these checks.
So instead set a maximum for the total horizontal and vertical
blanking and check that each field remains below that.
That is stil

mm/gup: fix gup_pud_range() for dax
For dax pud, pud_huge() returns true on x86. So the function works as long

Commit 414fd080d125 ("mm/gup: fix gup_pmd_range() for dax") fixed
devmap-backed huge PMDs, but missed devmap-backed huge PUDs. Fix this as
well.

can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rcv_filter
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rcv_filter
Analogue to commit 8aa59e355949 ("can: af_can: fix NULL pointer
dereference in can_rx_register()") we need to check for a missing
initialization of ml_priv in the receive path of CAN frames.
Since commit 4e096a18867a ("net: introduce CAN specific pointer in the
struct net_device") the check for dev->type to be ARPHRD_CAN is not
sufficient anymore since bonding or tun netdevices claim to be CAN
devices but do not initialize ml_priv accordingly.

If we break for_each_pci_dev() loop with pdev not NULL, we need to call
