Security Vulnerabilities

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
greybus: Fix use-after-free bug in gb_interface_release due to race condition.
In gb_interface_create, &intf->mode_switch_completion is bound with
gb_interface_mode_switch_work. Then it will be started by
gb_interface_request_mode_switch. Here is the relevant code.
if (!queue_work(system_long_wq, &intf->mode_switch_work)) {
...
}
If we call gb_interface_release to make cleanup, there may be an
unfinished work. This function will call kfree to free the object
"intf". However, if gb_interface_mode_switch_work is scheduled to
run after kfree, it may cause use-after-free error as
gb_interface_mode_switch_work will use the object "intf".
The possible execution flow that may lead to the issue is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| gb_interface_create
| gb_interface_request_mode_switch
gb_interface_release |
kfree(intf) (free) |
| gb_interface_mode_switch_work
| mutex_lock(&intf->mutex) (use)
Fix it by canceling the work before kfree.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: zoned: fix use-after-free due to race with dev replace
While loading a zone's info during creation of a block group, we can race
with a device replace operation and then trigger a use-after-free on the
device that was just replaced (source device of the replace operation).
This happens because at btrfs_load_zone_info() we extract a device from
the chunk map into a local variable and then use the device while not
under the protection of the device replace rwsem. So if there's a device
replace operation happening when we extract the device and that device
is the source of the replace operation, we will trigger a use-after-free
if before we finish using the device the replace operation finishes and
frees the device.
Fix this by enlarging the critical section under the protection of the
device replace rwsem so that all uses of the device are done inside the
critical section.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mst: Fix NULL pointer dereference at drm_dp_add_payload_part2
[Why]
Commit:
- commit 5aa1dfcdf0a4 ("drm/mst: Refactor the flow for payload allocation/removement")
accidently overwrite the commit
- commit 54d217406afe ("drm: use mgr->dev in drm_dbg_kms in drm_dp_add_payload_part2")
which cause regression.
[How]
Recover the original NULL fix and remove the unnecessary input parameter 'state' for
drm_dp_add_payload_part2().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_inner: validate mandatory meta and payload
Check for mandatory netlink attributes in payload and meta expression
when used embedded from the inner expression, otherwise NULL pointer
dereference is possible from userspace.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
liquidio: Adjust a NULL pointer handling path in lio_vf_rep_copy_packet
In lio_vf_rep_copy_packet() pg_info->page is compared to a NULL value,
but then it is unconditionally passed to skb_add_rx_frag() which looks
strange and could lead to null pointer dereference.
lio_vf_rep_copy_packet() call trace looks like:
octeon_droq_process_packets
octeon_droq_fast_process_packets
octeon_droq_dispatch_pkt
octeon_create_recv_info
...search in the dispatch_list...
->disp_fn(rdisp->rinfo, ...)
lio_vf_rep_pkt_recv(struct octeon_recv_info *recv_info, ...)
In this path there is no code which sets pg_info->page to NULL.
So this check looks unneeded and doesn't solve potential problem.
But I guess the author had reason to add a check and I have no such card
and can't do real test.
In addition, the code in the function liquidio_push_packet() in
liquidio/lio_core.c does exactly the same.
Based on this, I consider the most acceptable compromise solution to
adjust this issue by moving skb_add_rx_frag() into conditional scope.

The default configuration of XSLTResourceStream.java is vulnerable to remote code execution via XSLT injection when processing input from an untrusted source without validation.
Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 10.1.0, 9.18.0 or 8.16.0, which fix this issue.
The MStore API – Create Native Android & iOS Apps On The Cloud plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authentication bypass in all versions up to, and including, 4.14.7. This is due to insufficient verification on the 'phone' parameter of the 'firebase_sms_login' and 'firebase_sms_login_v2' functions. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing user on the site, such as an administrator, if they have access to the email address or phone number. Additionally, if a new email address is supplied, a new user account is created with the default role, even if registration is disabled.
The Wallet for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to SQL Injection via the 'search[value]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.4 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
The ContentLock WordPress plugin through 1.0.3 does not have CSRF check in place when adding emails, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin perform such action via a CSRF attack
The ContentLock WordPress plugin through 1.0.3 does not have CSRF check in place when deleting groups or emails, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin remove them via a CSRF attack
