In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/MCE/AMD: Fix memory leak when threshold_create_bank() fails
In mce_threshold_create_device(), if threshold_create_bank() fails, the
previously allocated threshold banks array @bp will be leaked because
the call to mce_threshold_remove_device() will not free it.
This happens because mce_threshold_remove_device() fetches the pointer
through the threshold_banks per-CPU variable but bp is written there
only after the bank creation is successful, and not before, when
threshold_create_bank() fails.
Add a helper which unwinds all the bank creation work previously done
and pass into it the previously allocated threshold banks array for
freeing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: provide block_invalidate_folio to fix memory leak
The ntfs3 filesystem lacks the 'invalidate_folio' method and it causes
memory leak. If you write to the filesystem and then unmount it, the
cached written data are not freed and they are permanently leaked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: isp1760: Fix out-of-bounds array access
Running the driver through kasan gives an interesting splat:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in isp1760_register+0x180/0x70c
Read of size 20 at addr f1db2e64 by task swapper/0/1
(...)
isp1760_register from isp1760_plat_probe+0x1d8/0x220
(...)
This happens because the loop reading the regmap fields for the
different ISP1760 variants look like this:
for (i = 0; i < HC_FIELD_MAX; i++) { ... }
Meaning it expects the arrays to be at least HC_FIELD_MAX - 1 long.
However the arrays isp1760_hc_reg_fields[], isp1763_hc_reg_fields[],
isp1763_hc_volatile_ranges[] and isp1763_dc_volatile_ranges[] are
dynamically sized during compilation.
Fix this by putting an empty assignment to the [HC_FIELD_MAX]
and [DC_FIELD_MAX] array member at the end of each array.
This will make the array one member longer than it needs to be,
but avoids the risk of overwriting whatever is inside
[HC_FIELD_MAX - 1] and is simple and intuitive to read. Also
add comments explaining what is going on.

Reason is mhi_deassert_dev_wake() from mhi_device_put() is called
but mhi_assert_dev_wake() from __mhi_device_get_sync() is not called
in progress of recovery. Commit 8e0559921f9a ("bus: mhi: core:
Skip device wake in error or shutdown state") add check for the
pm_state of mhi in __mhi_device_get_sync(), and the pm_state is not
the normal state untill recovery is completed, so it leads the
dev_wake is not 0 and above warning print in mhi_pm_disable_transition()
while checking mhi_cntrl->dev_wake.
Add check in ath11k_pci_write32()/ath11k_pci_read32() to skip call
mhi_device_put() if mhi_device_get_sync() does not really do wake,
then the warning gone.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: implement ->free_disk
Ensure that the lo_device which is stored in the gendisk private
data is valid until the gendisk is freed. Currently the loop driver
uses a lot of effort to make sure a device is not freed when it is
still in use, but to to fix a potential deadlock this will be relaxed
a bit soon.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath11k: Change max no of active probe SSID and BSSID to fw capability
The maximum number of SSIDs in a for active probe requests is currently
reported as 16 (WLAN_SCAN_PARAMS_MAX_SSID) when registering the driver.
The scan_req_params structure only has the capacity to hold 10 SSIDs.
This leads to a buffer overflow which can be triggered from
wpa_supplicant in userspace. When copying the SSIDs into the
scan_req_params structure in the ath11k_mac_op_hw_scan route, it can
overwrite the extraie pointer.
Firmware supports 16 ssid * 4 bssid, for each ssid 4 bssid combo probe
request will be sent, so totally 64 probe requests supported. So
set both max ssid and bssid to 16 and 4 respectively. Remove the
redundant macros of ssid and bssid.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Protect memory leak for NPIV ports sending PLOGI_RJT
There is a potential memory leak in lpfc_ignore_els_cmpl() and
lpfc_els_rsp_reject() that was allocated from NPIV PLOGI_RJT
(lpfc_rcv_plogi()'s login_mbox).
Check if cmdiocb->context_un.mbox was allocated in lpfc_ignore_els_cmpl(),
and then free it back to phba->mbox_mem_pool along with mbox->ctx_buf for
service parameters.
For lpfc_els_rsp_reject() failure, free both the ctx_buf for service
parameters and the login_mbox.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix null pointer dereference after failing to issue FLOGI and PLOGI
If lpfc_issue_els_flogi() fails and returns non-zero status, the node
reference count is decremented to trigger the release of the nodelist
structure. However, if there is a prior registration or dev-loss-evt work
pending, the node may be released prematurely. When dev-loss-evt
completes, the released node is referenced causing a use-after-free null
pointer dereference.
Similarly, when processing non-zero ELS PLOGI completion status in
lpfc_cmpl_els_plogi(), the ndlp flags are checked for a transport
registration before triggering node removal. If dev-loss-evt work is
pending, the node may be released prematurely and a subsequent call to
lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler() results in a use after free ndlp dereference.
Add test for pending dev-loss before decrementing the node reference count
for FLOGI, PLOGI, PRLI, and ADISC handling.
