| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Fix bad pointer dereference when ehandler kthread is invalid
Commit 66a834d09293 ("scsi: core: Fix error handling of scsi_host_alloc()")
changed the allocation logic to call put_device() to perform host cleanup
with the assumption that IDA removal and stopping the kthread would
properly be performed in scsi_host_dev_release(). However, in the unlikely
case that the error handler thread fails to spawn, shost->ehandler is set
to ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM).
The error handler cleanup code in scsi_host_dev_release() will call
kthread_stop() if shost->ehandler != NULL which will always be the case
whether the kthread was successfully spawned or not. In the case that it
failed to spawn this has the nasty side effect of trying to dereference an
invalid pointer when kthread_stop() is called. The following splat provides
an example of this behavior in the wild:
scsi host11: error handler thread failed to spawn, error = -4

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arch_topology: Avoid use-after-free for scale_freq_data
Currently topology_scale_freq_tick() (which gets called from
scheduler_tick()) may end up using a pointer to "struct
scale_freq_data", which was previously cleared by
topology_clear_scale_freq_source(), as there is no protection in place
here. The users of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() though needs a
guarantee that the previously cleared scale_freq_data isn't used
anymore, so they can free the related resources.
Since topology_scale_freq_tick() is called from scheduler tick, we don't
want to add locking in there. Use the RCU update mechanism instead
(which is already used by the scheduler's utilization update path) to
guarantee race free updates here.
synchronize_rcu() makes sure that all RCU critical sections that started
before it is called, will finish before it returns. And so the callers
of topology_clear_scale_freq_source() don't need to worry about their
callback getting called anymore. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memory: fsl_ifc: fix leak of private memory on probe failure
On probe error the driver should free the memory allocated for private
structure. Fix this by using resource-managed allocation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: CPPC: Fix potential memleak in cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init
It's a classic example of memleak, we allocate something, we fail and
never free the resources.
Make sure we free all resources on policy ->init() failures. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: Fix dereference of null pointer flow
In the case where chain->flags & NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD is false then
nft_flow_rule_create is not called and flow is NULL. The subsequent
error handling execution via label err_destroy_flow_rule will lead
to a null pointer dereference on flow when calling nft_flow_rule_destroy.
Since the error path to err_destroy_flow_rule has to cater for null
and non-null flows, only call nft_flow_rule_destroy if flow is non-null
to fix this issue.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: qcom/emac: fix UAF in emac_remove
adpt is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using adpt after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ti: fix UAF in tlan_remove_one
priv is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using priv after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fddi: fix UAF in fza_probe
fp is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using fp after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() after error message.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: Fix use-after-free error during reset
Cleans the next descriptor to watch (next_to_watch) when cleaning the
TX ring.
Failure to do so can cause invalid memory accesses. If igc_poll() runs
while the controller is being reset this can lead to the driver try to
free a skb that was already freed.

add uring_lock to protect 'hash_map'. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: ngene: Fix out-of-bounds bug in ngene_command_config_free_buf()
Fix an 11-year old bug in ngene_command_config_free_buf() while
addressing the following warnings caught with -Warray-bounds:
arch/alpha/include/asm/string.h:22:16: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [12, 16] from the object at 'com' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'config' with type 'unsigned char' at offset 10 [-Warray-bounds]
arch/x86/include/asm/string_32.h:182:25: warning: '__builtin_memcpy' offset [12, 16] from the object at 'com' is out of the bounds of referenced subobject 'config' with type 'unsigned char' at offset 10 [-Warray-bounds]
The problem is that the original code is trying to copy 6 bytes of
data into a one-byte size member _config_ of the wrong structue
FW_CONFIGURE_BUFFERS, in a single call to memcpy(). This causes a
legitimate compiler warning because memcpy() overruns the length
of &com.cmd.ConfigureBuffers.config. It seems that the right
structure is FW_CONFIGURE_FREE_BUFFERS, instead, because it contains
6 more members apart from the header _hdr_. Also, the name of
the function ngene_command_config_free_buf() suggests that the actual
intention is to ConfigureFreeBuffers, instead of ConfigureBuffers
(which takes place in the function ngene_command_config_buf(), above).
Fix this by enclosing those 6 members of struct FW_CONFIGURE_FREE_BUFFERS
into new struct config, and use &com.cmd.ConfigureFreeBuffers.config as
the destination address, instead of &com.cmd.ConfigureBuffers.config,
when calling memcpy().
This also helps with the ongoing efforts to globally enable
-Warray-bounds and get us closer to being able to tighten the
FORTIFY_SOURCE routines on memcpy(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: auxiliary bus: Fix memory leak when driver_register() fail
If driver_register() returns with error we need to free the memory
allocated for auxdrv->driver.name before returning from
__auxiliary_driver_register() |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: mhi: core: Validate channel ID when processing command completions
MHI reads the channel ID from the event ring element sent by the
device which can be any value between 0 and 255. In order to
prevent any out of bound accesses, add a check against the maximum
number of channels supported by the controller and those channels
not configured yet so as to skip processing of that event ring
element. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: misc: brcmstb-usb-pinmap: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: mhi: pci_generic: Fix possible use-after-free in mhi_pci_remove()
This driver's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function
does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the
timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function
has finished, which would result in a use-after-free.
Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler
has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Do not blindly read the ip address in ftrace_bug()
It was reported that a bug on arm64 caused a bad ip address to be used for
updating into a nop in ftrace_init(), but the error path (rightfully)
returned -EINVAL and not -EFAULT, as the bug caused more than one error to
occur. But because -EINVAL was returned, the ftrace_bug() tried to report
what was at the location of the ip address, and read it directly. This
caused the machine to panic, as the ip was not pointing to a valid memory
address.
Instead, read the ip address with copy_from_kernel_nofault() to safely
access the memory, and if it faults, report that the address faulted,
otherwise report what was in that location. |
