In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ublk: check import_ubuf() return value import_ubuf() can fail if the address range (provided by the userspace ublk server) is outside the allowed user address space. Return that 0 bytes were copied if import_ubuf() fails rather than passing an uninitialized struct iov_iter to ublk_copy_user_pages().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: phonet: pep: do not write beyond optlen in getsockopt pep_getsockopt() clamps the reported length to the caller's buffer with min_t(), but then stores the value with put_user(val, (int __user *) optval), which always writes sizeof(int) bytes. A getsockopt() call with an optlen smaller than sizeof(int) thus reports the clamped length yet writes a full int, o…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: steam: Reject short reads Steam Controller FEATURE reports encode the size of the message in the message itself. Previously we were trusting that the size reported matched the size we actually read, leading to a potential issue with short reads. Instead, we should actually verify the length of the read.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: validate inline xattrs during inode block validation Patch series "ocfs2: validate xattr entry bounds", v7. This series validates OCFS2 xattr entry name/value bounds when xattr metadata is read and validated, before getxattr() or listxattr() can walk out-of-range entry arrays or offsets from corrupted metadata. This patch (of 2): ocfs2_validate_i…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2/cluster: keep heartbeat local node stable o2nm_node_local_store() handles local=0 by stopping o2net and setting cl_local_node to O2NM_INVALID_NODE_NUM, but it leaves cl_has_local set. That stale state makes o2nm_this_node() return 255, blocks a later local=1 attempt with -EBUSY, and can feed 255 to heartbeat users that call o2nm_this_node() dynamical…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-cgroup: skip dying blkg in blkcg_activate_policy() When switching IO schedulers on a block device, blkcg_activate_policy() can race with concurrent blkcg deletion, leading to a use-after-free in rcu_accelerate_cbs. T1: T2: blkg_destroy kill(&blkg->refcnt) …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: blk-cgroup: fix race between policy activation and blkg destruction When switching an IO scheduler on a block device, blkcg_activate_policy() allocates blkg_policy_data (pd) for all blkgs attached to the queue. However, blkcg_activate_policy() may race with concurrent blkcg deletion, leading to use-after-free and memory leak issues. The use-after-free occu…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: remoteproc: fix OOB read via signed offset in rsc_table_for_each_entry() table->offset[i] is a u32 from firmware, but was stored into a signed int. A crafted offset like 0xFFFFFFF0 becomes -16, placing hdr 16 bytes before the table buffer. The subsequent avail check was bypassed because the negative int was promoted to a large size_t in the expression "ta…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/omap: dsi: Do not copy isr table To be able to unregister stuff from isrs, the corresponding table was copied. Nobody seems to unregister stuff that way, so it does not help. But there are stack-allocated objects passed to these isrs giving chances of UAF of these objects if irqs are unregistered while they are handled, so better do not copy that table.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Invalidate RCU pointers after final spin unlock In a sleepable BPF program, a spin lock can provide the only RCU protection for a kptr. The final bpf_spin_unlock() ends that protection, but the verifier leaves the pointer valid. Another CPU can then free the object before the pointer is used. A capability-limited runtime PoC triggered a task_struct use…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fat: release buffer head after rebuilding parent fat_scan_logstart() leaves the matching directory entry's buffer head in sinfo.bh for the caller to release, just like fat_scan(). fat_rebuild_parent() uses the directory entry to rebuild the parent inode for the nostale_ro NFS export path, but does not release sinfo.bh after a successful scan. Release it o…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rapidio: clear mport->net when rio_add_net() fails rio_alloc_net() stores the newly allocated rio_net in mport->net before rio_scan_alloc_net() registers the device. If rio_add_net() fails, rio_scan_alloc_net() drops the device reference with put_device(), which releases the rio_net through the device release callback. However, mport->net is left pointing…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf, cgroup: Fix invalid storage access after __cgroup_bpf_attach failed A potential invalid storage access issue can occur after replacing a cgroup bpf prog. This occurs in the following scenario: 1. prog1 with storage is attached to a cgroup in multi-attach mode. 2. prog1 is replaced with prog2 using BPF_F_REPLACE in multi-attach mode, but fails midwa…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: PCI/sysfs: Add lockdown checks to legacy I/O and memory handlers Currently, the legacy I/O and memory sysfs handlers do not check security_locked_down(LOCKDOWN_PCI_ACCESS), leaving the legacy_io and legacy_mem files unprotected when the kernel is locked down. Commit eb627e17727e ("PCI: Lock down BAR access when the kernel is locked down") added the check t…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: validate external xattr entries when reading metadata ocfs2_validate_xattr_block() checks the xattr block header before the block reaches higher-level xattr users, but it does not verify that a non-indexed block's xh_count and entry offsets fit inside the block. Indexed buckets likewise reach list/get consumers after ECC without an entry-bounds chec…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: 9484/1: enable interrupts when unhandled user faults are triggered PREEMPT_RT requires interrupts to be enabled when sending signals. When do_DataAbort()/do_PrefetchAbort() triggers unhandled user faults, that is `inf->fn()` return a non-zero value, and the interrupts are not enabled within the hook function, force_sig_fault() will be called with inte…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: 9481/2: breakpoint: CFI breakpoints only on demand This removes the stub hw_breakpoint_cfi_handler() from ARM, making it not steal breakpoint type 0x03 (ARM_ENTRY_CFI_BREAKPOINT) unless CFI is actively used in the kernel. When not instrumenting with CFI, or when a breakpoint is issued in userspace, we fall through to return 1 from hw_breakpoint_pendin…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/erdma: Hold QP references for AE and CM processing AE QP fatal events and iWARP CM paths load QPs from dev->qp_xa and then use or reference them outside the xarray lock. erdma_destroy_qp() can drop the destroy-path reference and free QP resources while such a lookup is in flight. Add erdma_qp_get_by_qpn() to acquire a kref under the xarray lock with k…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/erdma: Hold CQ references when processing EQ events EQ handlers look up CQs from dev->cq_xa and invoke CQ completion or error callbacks outside the xarray lock. erdma_destroy_cq() can erase the CQ from the xarray and free its queue buffer and doorbell record while a previously scheduled EQ handler is still using the CQ. Add a CQ refcount and take a re…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ARM: 9483/1: select HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK Commit c6e61c06d606 ("ARM: 9463/1: Allow to enable RT") enabled PREEMPT_RT on ARM but did not select HAVE_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK. This leaves CONFIG_POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK disabled, so CPU timers expire in hard IRQ context. On PREEMPT_RT this makes run_posix_cpu_timers() take the sleeping sighand-…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: RDMA/srp: fix heap information leak on a truncated SRP_CRED_REQ srp_recv_done() passes wc->byte_len to srp_process_rsp(). It passes nothing to srp_process_cred_req() and srp_process_aer_req(), which read fixed-size fields from the receive buffer without checking that those fields were received. The buffer size is max_ti_iu_len, which comes from the login r…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: thermal: hwmon: Remove hwmon class device along with its parent The current code creates one hwmon device per thermal zone type and that device is registered under the first thermal zone of the given type. That turns out to be problematic when the thermal zone holding the hwmon device is removed. For example, say that there are two ACPI thermal zones on a…
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Check load-acquire src ptr type before the load check_atomic_load() calls check_load_mem() before atomic_ptr_type_ok(). For a load-acquire that fetches into its own source register (dst_reg == src_reg), check_load_mem() overwrites src_reg's type with the type of the loaded value, so the subsequent atomic_ptr_type_ok() no longer sees the source pointer …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/sun4i: crtc: Propagate layer initialization error sun4i_crtc_init() returns plain NULL when layer initialization fails, while all its other error paths return an error pointer. The only caller, sun4i_tcon_bind(), checks the result with IS_ERR() and happily continues with tcon->crtc set to NULL. sun4i_rgb_init() and sun4i_lvds_init() then dereference it …
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/sun4i: tcon: Drop TCON TOP device reference of_find_device_by_node() takes a device reference. Drop it after mux configuration succeeds.
