In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtw88: Fix array overrun in rtw_get_tx_power_params()
Using a kernel with the Undefined Behaviour Sanity Checker (UBSAN) enabled, the
following array overrun is logged:

The statement where an array is being overrun is shown in the following snippet:
if (rate <= DESC_RATE11M)
tx_power = pwr_idx_2g->cck_base[group];
else
====> tx_power = pwr_idx_2g->bw40_base[group];
The associated arrays are defined in main.h as follows:
struct rtw_2g_txpwr_idx {
u8 cck_base[6];
u8 bw40_base[5];
struct rtw_2g_1s_pwr_idx_diff ht_1s_diff;
struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_2s_diff;
struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_3s_diff;
struct rtw_2g_ns_pwr_idx_diff ht_4s_diff;
};
The problem arises because the value of group is 5 for channel 14. The trivial
increase in the dimension of bw40_base fails as this struct must match the layout of
efuse. The fix is to add the rate as an argument to rtw_get_channel_group() and set
the group for channel 14 to 4 if rate <= DESC_RATE11M.
This patch fixes commit fa6dfe6bff24 ("rtw88: resolve order of tx power setting routines")
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
async_xor: increase src_offs when dropping destination page
Now we support sharing one page if PAGE_SIZE is not equal stripe size. To
support this, it needs to support calculating xor value with different
offsets for each r5dev. One offset array is used to record those offsets.
In RMW mode, parity page is used as a source page. It sets
ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DST before calculating xor value in ops_run_prexor5.
So it needs to add src_list and src_offs at the same time. Now it only
needs src_list. So the xor value which is calculated is wrong. It can
cause data corruption problem.
I can reproduce this problem 100% on a POWER8 machine. The steps are:
mdadm -CR /dev/md0 -l5 -n3 /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 --size=3G
mkfs.xfs /dev/md0
mount /dev/md0 /mnt/test
mount: /mnt/test: mount(2) system call failed: Structure needs cleaning.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc/tegra: regulators: Fix locking up when voltage-spread is out of range
Fix voltage coupler lockup which happens when voltage-spread is out
of range due to a bug in the code. The max-spread requirement shall be
accounted when CPU regulator doesn't have consumers. This problem is
observed on Tegra30 Ouya game console once system-wide DVFS is enabled
in a device-tree.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/nfc: fix use-after-free llcp_sock_bind/connect
Commits 8a4cd82d ("nfc: fix refcount leak in llcp_sock_connect()")
and c33b1cc62 ("nfc: fix refcount leak in llcp_sock_bind()")
fixed a refcount leak bug in bind/connect but introduced a
use-after-free if the same local is assigned to 2 different sockets.
This can be triggered by the following simple program:
int sock1 = socket( AF_NFC, SOCK_STREAM, NFC_SOCKPROTO_LLCP );
int sock2 = socket( AF_NFC, SOCK_STREAM, NFC_SOCKPROTO_LLCP );
memset( &addr, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_nfc_llcp) );
addr.sa_family = AF_NFC;
addr.nfc_protocol = NFC_PROTO_NFC_DEP;
bind( sock1, (struct sockaddr*) &addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_nfc_llcp) )
bind( sock2, (struct sockaddr*) &addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr_nfc_llcp) )
close(sock1);
close(sock2);
Fix this by assigning NULL to llcp_sock->local after calling
nfc_llcp_local_put.
This addresses CVE-2021-23134.
dp-golang is a Puppet module for Go installations. Prior to 1.2.7, dp-golang could install files — including the compiler binary — with the wrong ownership when Puppet was run as root and the installed package was On macOS: Go version 1.4.3 through 1.21rc3, inclusive, go1.4-bootstrap-20170518.tar.gz, or go1.4-bootstrap-20170531.tar.gz. The user and group specified in Puppet code were ignored for files within the archive. dp-puppet version 1.2.7 will recreate installations if the owner or group of any file or directory within that installation does not match the requested owner or group
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: Fix use-after-free with devm_spi_alloc_*
We can't rely on the contents of the devres list during
spi_unregister_controller(), as the list is already torn down at the
time we perform devres_find() for devm_spi_release_controller. This
causes devices registered with devm_spi_alloc_{master,slave}() to be
mistakenly identified as legacy, non-devm managed devices and have their
reference counters decremented below 0.

Instead, determine the devm allocation state as a flag on the
controller which is guaranteed to be stable during cleanup.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
m68k: mvme147,mvme16x: Don't wipe PCC timer config bits
Don't clear the timer 1 configuration bits when clearing the interrupt flag
and counter overflow. As Michael reported, "This results in no timer
interrupts being delivered after the first. Initialization then hangs
in calibrate_delay as the jiffies counter is not updated."
On mvme16x, enable the timer after requesting the irq, consistent with
mvme147.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: stream: fix memory leak in stream config error path
When stream config is failed, master runtime will release all
slave runtime in the slave_rt_list, but slave runtime is not
added to the list at this time. This patch frees slave runtime
in the config error path to fix the memory leak.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: qcom: Put child node before return
Put child node before return to fix potential reference count leak.
Generally, the reference count of child is incremented and decremented
automatically in the macro for_each_available_child_of_node() and should
be decremented manually if the loop is broken in loop body.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: require write permissions for locking and badblock ioctls
MEMLOCK, MEMUNLOCK and OTPLOCK modify protection bits. Thus require
write permission. Depending on the hardware MEMLOCK might even be
write-once, e.g. for SPI-NOR flashes with their WP# tied to GND. OTPLOCK
is always write-once.
MEMSETBADBLOCK modifies the bad block table.
