staging: rtl8723bs: fix null dereference in find_network

[ Upstream commit 41460a19654c32d39fd0e3a3671cd8d4b7b8479f ] The variable pwlan has the possibility of being NULL when passed into rtw_free_network_nolock() which would later dereference the variable.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix memory leak on failure path

2026-03-04T12:20:16Z

[ Upstream commit abe850d82c8cb72d28700673678724e779b1826e ] cfg80211_inform_bss_frame() may return NULL on failure. In that case, the allocated buffer 'buf' is not freed and the function returns early, leading to potential memory leak. Fix this by ensuring that 'buf' is freed on both success and failure paths.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix missing status update on sdio_alloc_irq() failure

2026-03-04T12:20:15Z

[ Upstream commit 618b4aec12faabc7579a6b0df046842d798a4c7c ] The return value of sdio_alloc_irq() was not stored in status. If sdio_alloc_irq() fails after rtw_drv_register_netdev() succeeds, status remains _SUCCESS and the error path skips resource cleanup, while rtw_drv_init() still returns success. Store the return value of sdio_alloc_irq() in status and reuse the existing error handling which relies on status.

staging: greybus: lights: avoid NULL deref

2026-03-04T12:19:46Z

[ Upstream commit efcffd9a6ad8d190651498d5eda53bfc7cf683a7 ] gb_lights_light_config() stores channel_count before allocating the channels array. If kcalloc() fails, gb_lights_release() iterates the non-zero count and dereferences light->channels, which is NULL. Allocate channels first and only then publish channels_count so the cleanup path can't walk a NULL pointer.

timers: Get rid of del_singleshot_timer_sync()

2026-02-11T12:35:27Z

[ Upstream commit 9a5a305686971f4be10c6d7251c8348d74b3e014 ] del_singleshot_timer_sync() used to be an optimization for deleting timers which are not rearmed from the timer callback function. This optimization turned out to be broken and got mapped to del_timer_sync() about 17 years ago. Get rid of the undocumented indirection and use del_timer_sync() directly. No functional change.

iio: adc: ad7280a: handle spi_setup() errors in probe()

[ Upstream commit 6b39824ac4c15783787e6434449772bfb2e31214 ] The probe() function ignored the return value of spi_setup(), leaving SPI configuration failures undetected. If spi_setup() fails, the driver should stop initialization and propagate the error to the caller. Add proper error handling: check the return value of spi_setup() and return it on failure.

media: verisilicon: Protect G2 HEVC decoder against invalid DPB index

2026-01-19T12:10:09Z

[ Upstream commit 47825b1646a6a9eca0f90baa3d4f98947c2add96 ] Fix the Hantro G2 HEVC decoder so that we use DPB index 0 whenever a ninvalid index is received from user space. This protects the hardware from doing faulty memory access which then leads to bus errors. To be noted that when a reference is missing, userspace such as GStreamer passes an invalid DPB index of 255. This issue was found by seeking to a CRA picture using GStreamer. The framework is currently missing the code to skip over RASL pictures placed after the CRA. This situation can also occur while doing live streaming over lossy transport.

staging: rtl8723bs: fix out-of-bounds read in OnBeacon ESR IE parsing

2026-01-19T12:09:22Z

commit 502ddcc405b69fa92e0add6c1714d654504f6fd7 upstream. The Extended Supported Rates (ESR) IE handling in OnBeacon accessed *(p + 1 + ielen) and *(p + 2 + ielen) without verifying that these offsets lie within the received frame buffer. A malformed beacon with an ESR IE positioned at the end of the buffer could cause an out-of-bounds read, potentially triggering a kernel panic. Add a boundary check to ensure that the ESR IE body and the subsequent bytes are within the limits of the frame before attempting to access them. This prevents OOB reads caused by malformed beacon frames. Signed-off-by: Navaneeth K Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman
