| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: codel: bound the dropping loop per dequeue call
The CoDel control law schedules the next drop one interval/sqrt(count)
after the previous drop, using the configured interval
(codel_params.interval). For very small intervals the scheduled step
rounds down to zero, so the dropping loop in codel_dequeue() never
advances and drains the entire backlog under the qdisc lock in one
call - an unprivileged user can trigger a soft lockup this way.
Fix in the shared codel code used by both codel and fq_codel:
1. Make the control-law step at least 1 tick so the dropping loop
always moves forward.
2. Cap the dropping loop at CODEL_MAX_DROPS_PER_DEQUEUE (256) drops
per codel_dequeue() call, resyncing drop_next to now when the cap
is hit: the catch-up owed to the loop grows with the idle gap and
the backlog, which no interval threshold can bound. This is a
deliberate behaviour change after long idle gaps.
The cap applies to fq_codel (4b549a2ef4be) and the mac80211 TXQ path
(fixed interval, cap only).
The target sojourn delay (codel_params.target) is not validated: it
does not feed the control law, so a sub-tick value is aggressive
rather than deadlock-prone.
Conditions to recreate the bug:
- tc qdisc add dev lo root handle 1: tbf rate 1kbit burst 2kb limit 1000000
- tc qdisc add dev lo parent 1:1 handle 10: codel interval 2us target 1ms noecn limit 1000000 (same for fq_codel)
- unpatched kernel: tc accepts it; a UDP flood under the 1kbit tbf
soft-lockups (watchdog: BUG: soft lockup) while one
codel_dequeue() call drops the backlog under the qdisc lock
- patched kernel: same setup, at most 256 drops per dequeue call,
no soft lockup
Testing: claim reproducer and interval 2us/3us variants run clean;
tdc qdisc category passes (see the selftests patch). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb: 6fire: Avoid embedded URBs
The USB 6fire driver uses URBs embedded in different structs for PCM,
MIDI and communication, and this is basically a buggy implementation
nowadays; since a URB is managed with a refcount, this may lead to a
UAF when the URB is released asynchronously.
For addressing the problem, this patch converts those embedded URBs to
ones that are properly allocated via usb_alloc_urb(). The
pcm_urb.packets[] is gone, as it's allocated by usb_alloc_urb(), hence
it's found in urb.iso_frame_desc[] instead.
The conversions are rather straightforward; each embedded struct urb
is changed to a pointer, and its callers are updated accordingly.
The resource for those structs are released in the common destructor
functions (usb6fire_comm_free(), etc), which are called at both the
init error path and the disconnect.
No functional changes, only compile-tested. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/efa: Keep EQ resources alive while IRQ is registered
The completion IRQ handler accesses the EQ state and DMA buffer. Its IRQ was
registered before that state was initialized, while teardown released the
buffer before free_irq() synchronized the handler.
Initialize the EQ without arming it, register the IRQ, and then arm it.
Reverse the resource order during teardown by freeing the IRQ before
destroying the EQ. |
