In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext2: Check block size validity during mount
Check that log of block size stored in the superblock has sensible
value. Otherwise the shift computing the block size can overflow leading
to undefined behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: fix integer overflow in nl80211_parse_mbssid_elems()
nl80211_parse_mbssid_elems() uses a u8 variable num_elems to count the
number of MBSSID elements in the nested netlink attribute attrs, which can
lead to an integer overflow if a user of the nl80211 interface specifies
256 or more elements in the corresponding attribute in userspace. The
integer overflow can lead to a heap buffer overflow as num_elems determines
the size of the trailing array in elems, and this array is thereafter
written to for each element in attrs.
Note that this vulnerability only affects devices with the
wiphy->mbssid_max_interfaces member set for the wireless physical device
struct in the device driver, and can only be triggered by a process with
CAP_NET_ADMIN capabilities.
Fix this by checking for a maximum of 255 elements in attrs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Make intel_get_crtc_new_encoder() less oopsy
The point of the WARN was to print something, not oops
straight up. Currently that is precisely what happens
if we can't find the connector for the crtc in the atomic
state. Get the dev pointer from the atomic state instead
of the potentially NULL encoder to avoid that.
(cherry picked from commit 3b6692357f70498f617ea1b31a0378070a0acf1c)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: imx: scu: use _safe list iterator to avoid a use after free
This loop is freeing "clk" so it needs to use list_for_each_entry_safe().
Otherwise it dereferences a freed variable to get the next item on the
loop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: rs9: Fix suspend/resume
Disabling the cache in commit 2ff4ba9e3702 ("clk: rs9: Fix I2C accessors")
without removing cache synchronization in resume path results in a
kernel panic as map->cache_ops is unset, due to REGCACHE_NONE.
Enable flat cache again to support resume again. num_reg_defaults_raw
is necessary to read the cache defaults from hardware. Some registers
are strapped in hardware and cannot be provided in software.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu-tasks: Avoid pr_info() with spin lock in cblist_init_generic()
pr_info() is called with rtp->cbs_gbl_lock spin lock locked. Because
pr_info() calls printk() that might sleep, this will result in BUG

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_vti: fix potential slab-use-after-free in decode_session6
When ip_vti device is set to the qdisc of the sfb type, the cb field
of the sent skb may be modified during enqueuing. Then,
slab-use-after-free may occur when ip_vti device sends IPv6 packets.
As commit f855691975bb ("xfrm6: Fix the nexthdr offset in
_decode_session6.") showed, xfrm_decode_session was originally intended
only for the receive path. IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is not set during
transmission. Therefore, set the cb field in the skb to 0 before
sending packets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if they have referenced variables
Hist triggers can have referenced variables without having direct
variables fields. This can be the case if referenced variables are added
for trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not
have field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into
consideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove
hist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug
that is easily reproducable like so
$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing
$ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' >> synthetic_events
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:onmatch(raw_syscalls.sys_enter).synthetic_sys_enter($comm, id)' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo '!hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
