  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: add EXT4_IGET_BAD flag to
    prevent unexpected bad inode There are many places that will get unhappy (and crash) when ext4_iget()
    returns a bad inode. However, if iget the boot loader inode, allows a bad inode to be returned, because
    the inode may not be initialized. This mechanism can be used to bypass some checks and cause panic. To
    solve this problem, we add a special iget flag EXT4_IGET_BAD. Only with this flag we'd be returning bad
    inode from ext4_iget(), otherwise we always return the error code if the inode is bad inode.(suggested by
    Jan Kara) (CVE-2022-50485)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: seqiv - Handle EBUSY correctly
    As it is seqiv only handles the special return value of EINPROGERSS, which means that in all other cases
    it will free data related to the request. However, as the caller of seqiv may specify MAY_BACKLOG, we also
    need to expect EBUSY and treat it in the same way. Otherwise backlogged requests will trigger a use-after-
    free. (CVE-2023-53373)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/radeon: free iio for atombios when
    driver shutdown Fix below kmemleak when unload radeon driver: unreferenced object 0xffff9f8608ede200 (size

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: processor: Check for null return
    of devm_kzalloc() in fch_misc_setup() devm_kzalloc() may fail, clk_data->name might be NULL and will cause
    a NULL pointer dereference later. [ rjw: Subject and changelog edits ] (CVE-2023-53483)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/swap: fix swap_info_struct race
    between swapoff and get_swap_pages() The si->lock must be held when deleting the si from the available
    list. Otherwise, another thread can re-add the si to the available list, which can lead to memory
    corruption. The only place we have found where this happens is in the swapoff path. This case can be
    described as below: core 0 core 1 swapoff del_from_avail_list(si) waiting try lock si->lock acquire
    swap_avail_lock and re-add si into swap_avail_head acquire si->lock but missing si already being added
    again, and continuing to clear SWP_WRITEOK, etc. It can be easily found that a massive warning messages
    can be triggered inside get_swap_pages() by some special cases, for example, we call madvise(MADV_PAGEOUT)
    on blocks of touched memory concurrently, meanwhile, run much swapon-swapoff operations (e.g. stress-ng-
    swap). However, in the worst case, panic can be caused by the above scene. In swapoff(), the memory used
    by si could be kept in swap_info[] after turning off a swap. This means memory corruption will not be
    caused immediately until allocated and reset for a new swap in the swapon path. A panic message caused:
