  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4: Don't hold the layoutget locks
    across multiple RPC calls When doing layoutget as part of the open() compound, we have to be careful to
    release the layout locks before we can call any further RPC calls, such as setattr(). The reason is that
    those calls could trigger a recall, which could deadlock. (CVE-2022-49316)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ftrace: Fix NULL pointer dereference
    in is_ftrace_trampoline when ftrace is dead ftrace_startup does not remove ops from ftrace_ops_list when
    ftrace_startup_enable fails: register_ftrace_function ftrace_startup __register_ftrace_function ...
    add_ftrace_ops(&ftrace_ops_list, ops) ... ... ftrace_startup_enable // if ftrace failed to modify,
    ftrace_disabled is set to 1 ... return 0 // ops is in the ftrace_ops_list. When ftrace_disabled = 1,
    unregister_ftrace_function simply returns without doing anything: unregister_ftrace_function
    ftrace_shutdown if (unlikely(ftrace_disabled)) return -ENODEV; // return here,
    __unregister_ftrace_function is not executed, // as a result, ops is still in the ftrace_ops_list
    __unregister_ftrace_function ... If ops is dynamically allocated, it will be free later, in this case,
    is_ftrace_trampoline accesses NULL pointer: is_ftrace_trampoline ftrace_ops_trampoline
    do_for_each_ftrace_op(op, ftrace_ops_list) // OOPS! op may be NULL! Syzkaller reports as follows: [

    Therefore, when ftrace_startup_enable fails, we need to rollback registration process and remove ops from
    ftrace_ops_list. (CVE-2022-49977)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: NFSv4/pnfs: Fix a use-after-free bug
    in open If someone cancels the open RPC call, then we must not try to free either the open slot or the
    layoutget operation arguments, since they are likely still in use by the hung RPC call. (CVE-2022-50072)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: locking/csd_lock: Change csdlock_debug
    from early_param to __setup The csdlock_debug kernel-boot parameter is parsed by the early_param()
    function csdlock_debug(). If set, csdlock_debug() invokes static_branch_enable() to enable csd_lock_wait
    feature, which triggers a panic on arm64 for kernels built with CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y and
    CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n. With CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP=n, __nr_to_section is called in
    static_key_enable() and returns NULL, resulting in a NULL dereference because mem_section is initialized
    only later in sparse_init(). This is also a problem for powerpc because early_param() functions are
    invoked earlier than jump_label_init(), also resulting in static_key_enable() failures. These failures
    cause the warning static key 'xxx' used before call to jump_label_init(). Thus, early_param is too early
    for csd_lock_wait to run static_branch_enable(), so changes it to __setup to fix these. (CVE-2022-50091)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/khugepaged: fix ->anon_vma race If
    an ->anon_vma is attached to the VMA, collapse_and_free_pmd() requires it to be locked. Page table
    traversal is allowed under any one of the mmap lock, the anon_vma lock (if the VMA is associated with an
    anon_vma), and the mapping lock (if the VMA is associated with a mapping); and so to be able to remove
    page tables, we must hold all three of them. retract_page_tables() bails out if an ->anon_vma is attached,
    but does this check before holding the mmap lock (as the comment above the check explains). If we racily
    merged an existing ->anon_vma (shared with a child process) from a neighboring VMA, subsequent rmap
    traversals on pages belonging to the child will be able to see the page tables that we are concurrently
    removing while assuming that nothing else can access them. Repeat the ->anon_vma check once we hold the
    mmap lock to ensure that there really is no concurrent page table access. Hitting this bug causes a
    lockdep warning in collapse_and_free_pmd(), in the line
    lockdep_assert_held_write(&vma->anon_vma->root->rwsem). It can also lead to use-after-free access.
    (CVE-2023-52935)
