In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: fix error recovery leading to data corruption on ESE devices
Extent Space Efficient (ESE) or thin provisioned volumes need to be
formatted on demand during usual IO processing.
The dasd_ese_needs_format function checks for error codes that signal
the non existence of a proper track format.
The check for incorrect length is to imprecise since other error cases
leading to transport of insufficient data also have this flag set.
This might lead to data corruption in certain error cases for example
during a storage server warmstart.
Fix by removing the check for incorrect length and replacing by
explicitly checking for invalid track format in transport mode.
Also remove the check for file protected since this is not a valid
ESE handling case.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: xhci: Check for xhci->interrupters being allocated in xhci_mem_clearup()
If xhci_mem_init() fails, it calls into xhci_mem_cleanup() to mop
up the damage. If it fails early enough, before xhci->interrupters
is allocated but after xhci->max_interrupters has been set, which
happens in most (all?) cases, things get uglier, as xhci_mem_cleanup()
unconditionally derefences xhci->interrupters. With prejudice.
Gate the interrupt freeing loop with a check on xhci->interrupters
being non-NULL.
Found while debugging a DMA allocation issue that led the XHCI driver
on this exact path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: mmc_test: Fix NULL dereference on allocation failure
If the "test->highmem = alloc_pages()" allocation fails then calling
__free_pages(test->highmem) will result in a NULL dereference. Also
change the error code to -ENOMEM instead of returning success.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: tegra: Do not mark ACPI devices as irq safe
On ACPI machines, the tegra i2c module encounters an issue due to a
mutex being called inside a spinlock. This leads to the following bug:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:585
...
Call trace:
__might_sleep
__mutex_lock_common
mutex_lock_nested
acpi_subsys_runtime_resume
rpm_resume
tegra_i2c_xfer
The problem arises because during __pm_runtime_resume(), the spinlock
&dev->power.lock is acquired before rpm_resume() is called. Later,
rpm_resume() invokes acpi_subsys_runtime_resume(), which relies on
mutexes, triggering the error.
To address this issue, devices on ACPI are now marked as not IRQ-safe,
considering the dependency of acpi_subsys_runtime_resume() on mutexes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: cope with large MAX_SKB_FRAGS
Sabrina reports that the igb driver does not cope well with large
MAX_SKB_FRAG values: setting MAX_SKB_FRAG to 45 causes payload
corruption on TX.
An easy reproducer is to run ssh to connect to the machine. With
MAX_SKB_FRAGS=17 it works, with MAX_SKB_FRAGS=45 it fails. This has
been reported originally in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2265320
The root cause of the issue is that the driver does not take into
account properly the (possibly large) shared info size when selecting
the ring layout, and will try to fit two packets inside the same 4K
page even when the 1st fraglist will trump over the 2nd head.
Address the issue by checking if 2K buffers are insufficient.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: cfg80211: Handle SSID based pmksa deletion
wpa_supplicant 2.11 sends since 1efdba5fdc2c ("Handle PMKSA flush in the
driver for SAE/OWE offload cases") SSID based PMKSA del commands.
brcmfmac is not prepared and tries to dereference the NULL bssid and
pmkid pointers in cfg80211_pmksa. PMKID_V3 operations support SSID based
updates so copy the SSID.
Audition versions 24.4.1, 23.6.6 and earlier are affected by an out-of-bounds read vulnerability that could lead to disclosure of sensitive memory. An attacker could leverage this vulnerability to bypass mitigations such as ASLR. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.
COMFAST CF-XR11 V2.7.2 has a command injection vulnerability in function sub_424CB4. Attackers can send POST request messages to /usr/bin/webmgnt and inject commands into parameter iface.
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Discussion section of Perfex CRM v1.1.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Content parameter.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: pm: only decrement add_addr_accepted for MPJ req
Adding the following warning ...
WARN_ON_ONCE(msk->pm.add_addr_accepted == 0)
... before decrementing the add_addr_accepted counter helped to find a
bug when running the "remove single subflow" subtest from the
mptcp_join.sh selftest.
Removing a 'subflow' endpoint will first trigger a RM_ADDR, then the
subflow closure. Before this patch, and upon the reception of the
RM_ADDR, the other peer will then try to decrement this
add_addr_accepted. That's not correct because the attached subflows have
not been created upon the reception of an ADD_ADDR.
A way to solve that is to decrement the counter only if the attached
subflow was an MP_JOIN to a remote id that was not 0, and initiated by
the host receiving the RM_ADDR.
