In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd/display: fix mapping to non-allocated address [Why] There is an issue mapping non-allocated location of memory. It would allocate gpio registers from an array out of bounds. [How] Patch correct numbers of bounds for using.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: extcon: Modify extcon device to be     created after driver data is set Currently, someone can invoke the sysfs such as state_show()     intermittently before dev_set_drvdata() is done. And it can be a cause of kernel Oops because of edev is     Null at that time. So modified the driver registration to after setting drviver data. - Oops's backtrace.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tick/nohz: unexport __init-annotated     tick_nohz_full_setup() EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is     freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a     freed symbol may end up with kernel panic. modpost used to detect it, but it had been broken for a decade.
    Commit 28438794aba4 (modpost: fix section mismatch check for exported init/exit sections) fixed it so     modpost started to warn it again, then this showed up: MODPOST vmlinux.symvers WARNING: modpost:
    vmlinux.o(___ksymtab_gpl+tick_nohz_full_setup+0x0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable
    __ksymtab_tick_nohz_full_setup to the function .init.text:tick_nohz_full_setup() The symbol     tick_nohz_full_setup is exported and annotated __init Fix this by removing the __init annotation of     tick_nohz_full_setup or drop the export. Drop the export because tick_nohz_full_setup() is only called     from the built-in code in kernel/sched/isolation.c. (CVE-2022-49675)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer     deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo() In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of     ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer, there's going to be a kernel oops     as the 'pi' local variable won't get reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to     '&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good... Found by Linux Verification Center     (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static analysis tool. (CVE-2022-49731)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bridge: switchdev: Fix memory leaks     when changing VLAN protocol The bridge driver can offload VLANs to the underlying hardware either via     switchdev or the 8021q driver. When the former is used, the VLAN is marked in the bridge driver with the     'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV' private flag. To avoid the memory leaks mentioned in the cited commit, the     bridge driver will try to delete a VLAN via the 8021q driver if the VLAN is not marked with the previously     mentioned flag. When the VLAN protocol of the bridge changes, switchdev drivers are notified via the     'SWITCHDEV_ATTR_ID_BRIDGE_VLAN_PROTOCOL' attribute, but the 8021q driver is also called to add the     existing VLANs with the new protocol and delete them with the old protocol. In case the VLANs were     offloaded via switchdev, the above behavior is both redundant and buggy. Redundant because the VLANs are     already programmed in hardware and drivers that support VLAN protocol change (currently only mlx5) change     the protocol upon the switchdev attribute notification. Buggy because the 8021q driver is called despite     these VLANs being marked with 'BR_VLFLAG_ADDED_BY_SWITCHDEV'. This leads to memory leaks [1] when the     VLANs are deleted. Fix by not calling the 8021q driver for VLANs that were already programmed via     switchdev.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: capabilities: fix potential memleak on     error path from vfs_getxattr_alloc() In cap_inode_getsecurity(), we will use vfs_getxattr_alloc() to     complete the memory allocation of tmpbuf, if we have completed the memory allocation of tmpbuf, but failed     to call handler->get(...), there will be a memleak in below logic: |-- ret =     (int)vfs_getxattr_alloc(mnt_userns, ...) | /* ^^^ alloc for tmpbuf */ |-- value = krealloc(*xattr_value,     error + 1, flags) | /* ^^^ alloc memory */ |-- error = handler->get(handler, ...) | /* error! */ |--
    *xattr_value = value | /* xattr_value is &tmpbuf (memory leak!) */ So we will try to free(tmpbuf) after     vfs_getxattr_alloc() fails to fix it. [PM: subject line and backtrace tweaks] (CVE-2022-49890)
