Security Vulnerabilities

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: fix missing sev_decommission in sev_receive_start
DECOMMISSION the current SEV context if binding an ASID fails after
RECEIVE_START. Per AMD's SEV API, RECEIVE_START generates a new guest
context and thus needs to be paired with DECOMMISSION:
The RECEIVE_START command is the only command other than the LAUNCH_START
command that generates a new guest context and guest handle.
The missing DECOMMISSION can result in subsequent SEV launch failures,
as the firmware leaks memory and might not able to allocate more SEV
guest contexts in the future.
Note, LAUNCH_START suffered the same bug, but was previously fixed by
commit 934002cd660b ("KVM: SVM: Call SEV Guest Decommission if ASID
binding fails").
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Fix stack-out-of-bounds memory access from ioapic_write_indirect()

The problem appears to be that 'vcpu_bitmap' is allocated as a single long
on stack and it should really be KVM_MAX_VCPUS long. We also seem to clear
the lower 16 bits of it with bitmap_zero() for no particular reason (my
guess would be that 'bitmap' and 'vcpu_bitmap' variables in
kvm_bitmap_or_dest_vcpus() caused the confusion: while the later is indeed
16-bit long, the later should accommodate all possible vCPUs).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cma: Ensure rdma_addr_cancel() happens before issuing more requests
The FSM can run in a circle allowing rdma_resolve_ip() to be called twice
on the same id_priv. While this cannot happen without going through the
work, it violates the invariant that the same address resolution
background request cannot be active twice.
CPU 1 CPU 2
rdma_resolve_addr():
RDMA_CM_IDLE -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_QUERY
rdma_resolve_ip(addr_handler) #1
process_one_req(): for #1
addr_handler():
RDMA_CM_ADDR_QUERY -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND
mutex_unlock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);
[.. handler still running ..]
rdma_resolve_addr():
RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND -> RDMA_CM_ADDR_QUERY

rdma_destroy_id():
destroy_id_handler_unlock():
_destroy_id():
cma_cancel_operation():
rdma_addr_cancel()
// process_one_req() self removes it
spin_lock_bh(&lock);
cancel_delayed_work(&req->work);
if (!list_empty(&req->list)) == true
! rdma_addr_cancel() returns after process_on_req #1 is done
kfree(id_priv)
process_one_req(): for #2
addr_handler():
mutex_lock(&id_priv->handler_mutex);
!! Use after free on id_priv
rdma_addr_cancel() expects there to be one req on the list and only
cancels the first one. The self-removal behavior of the work only happens
after the handler has returned. This yields a situations where the
req_list can have two reqs for the same "handle" but rdma_addr_cancel()
only cancels the first one.
The second req remains active beyond rdma_destroy_id() and will
use-after-free id_priv once it inevitably triggers.
Fix this by remembering if the id_priv has called rdma_resolve_ip() and
always cancel before calling it again. This ensures the req_list never
gets more than one item in it and doesn't cost anything in the normal flow
that never uses this strange error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cma: Fix listener leak in rdma_cma_listen_on_all() failure
If cma_listen_on_all() fails it leaves the per-device ID still on the
listen_list but the state is not set to RDMA_CM_ADDR_BOUND.
When the cmid is eventually destroyed cma_cancel_listens() is not called
due to the wrong state, however the per-device IDs are still holding the
refcount preventing the ID from being destroyed, thus deadlocking:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (mlxreg-fan) Return non-zero value when fan current state is enforced from sysfs
Fan speed minimum can be enforced from sysfs. For example, setting
current fan speed to 20 is used to enforce fan speed to be at 100%
speed, 19 - to be not below 90% speed, etcetera. This feature provides
ability to limit fan speed according to some system wise
considerations, like absence of some replaceable units or high system
ambient temperature.
Request for changing fan minimum speed is configuration request and can
be set only through 'sysfs' write procedure. In this situation value of
argument 'state' is above nominal fan speed maximum.
Return non-zero code in this case to avoid
thermal_cooling_device_stats_update() call, because in this case
statistics update violates thermal statistics table range.
The issues is observed in case kernel is configured with option
CONFIG_THERMAL_STATISTICS.

Problem is that all get operations are lockless, so the commit_mutex
held by nft_rcv_nl_event() isn't enough to stop a parallel GET request
from doing read-accesses to the table object even after synchronize_rcu().
To avoid this, unlink the table first and store the table objects in
on-stack scratch space.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mac80211-hwsim: fix late beacon hrtimer handling
Thomas explained in https://lore.kernel.org/r/87mtoeb4hb.ffs@tglx
that our handling of the hrtimer here is wrong: If the timer fires
late (e.g. due to vCPU scheduling, as reported by Dmitry/syzbot)
then it tries to actually rearm the timer at the next deadline,
which might be in the past already:
1 2 3 N N+1
| | | ... | |
^ intended to fire here (1)
^ next deadline here (2)
^ actually fired here
The next time it fires, it's later, but will still try to schedule
for the next deadline (now 3), etc. until it catches up with N,
but that might take a long time, causing stalls etc.
Now, all of this is simulation, so we just have to fix it, but
note that the behaviour is wrong even per spec, since there's no
value then in sending all those beacons unaligned - they should be
aligned to the TBTT (1, 2, 3, ... in the picture), and if we're a
bit (or a lot) late, then just resume at that point.
Therefore, change the code to use hrtimer_forward_now() which will
ensure that the next firing of the timer would be at N+1 (in the
picture), i.e. the next interval point after the current time.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nexthop: Fix memory leaks in nexthop notification chain listeners
syzkaller discovered memory leaks [1] that can be reduced to the
following commands:
# ip nexthop add id 1 blackhole
# devlink dev reload pci/0000:06:00.0
As part of the reload flow, mlxsw will unregister its netdevs and then
unregister from the nexthop notification chain. Before unregistering
from the notification chain, mlxsw will receive delete notifications for
nexthop objects using netdevs registered by mlxsw or their uppers. mlxsw
will not receive notifications for nexthops using netdevs that are not
dismantled as part of the reload flow. For example, the blackhole
nexthop above that internally uses the loopback netdev as its nexthop
device.
One way to fix this problem is to have listeners flush their nexthop
tables after unregistering from the notification chain. This is
error-prone as evident by this patch and also not symmetric with the
registration path where a listener receives a dump of all the existing
nexthops.
Therefore, fix this problem by replaying delete notifications for the
listener being unregistered. This is symmetric to the registration path
and also consistent with the netdev notification chain.
The above means that unregister_nexthop_notifier(), like
register_nexthop_notifier(), will have to take RTNL in order to iterate
over the existing nexthops and that any callers of the function cannot
hold RTNL. This is true for mlxsw and netdevsim, but not for the VXLAN
driver. To avoid a deadlock, change the latter to unregister its nexthop
listener without holding RTNL, making it symmetric to the registration
path.
