In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

nfsd: fix RELEASE_LOCKOWNER (CVE-2024-26629)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: disallow anonymous set with timeout flag (CVE-2024-26642)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: mark set as dead when unbinding anonymous set with timeout (CVE-2024-26643)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

af_unix: Fix garbage collector racing against connect() (CVE-2024-26923)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

netfilter: nf_tables: release mutex after nft_gc_seq_end from abort path

The commit mutex should not be released during the critical section
between nft_gc_seq_begin() and nft_gc_seq_end(), otherwise, async GC
worker could collect expired objects and get the released commit lock
within the same GC sequence.

nf_tables_module_autoload() temporarily releases the mutex to load
module dependencies, then it goes back to replay the transaction again.
Move it at the end of the abort phase after nft_gc_seq_end() is called. (CVE-2024-26925)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

PCI/PM: Drain runtime-idle callbacks before driver removal (CVE-2024-35809)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ACPI: CPPC: Use access_width over bit_width for system memory accesses (CVE-2024-35995)
