 - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iommu/mediatek: fix use-after-free on
 probe deferral The driver is dropping the references taken to the larb devices during probe after
 successful lookup as well as on errors. This can potentially lead to a use-after-free in case a larb
 device has not yet been bound to its driver so that the iommu driver probe defers. Fix this by keeping the
