Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.324 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dcb: choose correct policy to parse DCB_ATTR_BCN
The dcbnl_bcn_setcfg uses erroneous policy to parse tb[DCB_ATTR_BCN],
which is introduced in commit 859ee3c43812 ("DCB: Add support for DCB
BCN"). Please see the comment in below code
static int dcbnl_bcn_setcfg(...)
{
...
ret = nla_parse_nested_deprecated(..., dcbnl_pfc_up_nest, .. )
// !!! dcbnl_pfc_up_nest for attributes
// DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_0 to DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_ALL in enum dcbnl_pfc_up_attrs
...
for (i = DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0; i <= DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7; i++) {
// !!! DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0 to DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7 in enum dcbnl_bcn_attrs
...
value_byte = nla_get_u8(data[i]);
...
}
...
for (i = DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0; i <= DCB_BCN_ATTR_RI; i++) {
// !!! DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0 to DCB_BCN_ATTR_RI in enum dcbnl_bcn_attrs
...
value_int = nla_get_u32(data[i]);
...
}
...
}
That is, the nla_parse_nested_deprecated uses dcbnl_pfc_up_nest
attributes to parse nlattr defined in dcbnl_pfc_up_attrs. But the
following access code fetch each nlattr as dcbnl_bcn_attrs attributes.
By looking up the associated nla_policy for dcbnl_bcn_attrs. We can find
the beginning part of these two policies are "same".
static const struct nla_policy dcbnl_pfc_up_nest[...] = {
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_0] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_1] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_2] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_3] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_4] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_5] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_6] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_7] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_PFC_UP_ATTR_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
};
static const struct nla_policy dcbnl_bcn_nest[...] = {
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_0] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_1] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_2] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_3] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_4] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_5] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_6] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_7] = {.type = NLA_U8},
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_RP_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
// from here is somewhat different
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0] = {.type = NLA_U32},
...
[DCB_BCN_ATTR_ALL] = {.type = NLA_FLAG},
};
Therefore, the current code is buggy and this
nla_parse_nested_deprecated could overflow the dcbnl_pfc_up_nest and use
the adjacent nla_policy to parse attributes from DCB_BCN_ATTR_BCNA_0.
Hence use the correct policy dcbnl_bcn_nest to parse the nested
tb[DCB_ATTR_BCN] TLV.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: disable dma rx/tx use flags in lpuart_dma_shutdown
lpuart_dma_shutdown tears down lpuart dma, but lpuart_flush_buffer can
still occur which in turn tries to access dma apis if lpuart_dma_tx_use
flag is true. At this point since dma is torn down, these dma apis can
abort. Set lpuart_dma_tx_use and the corresponding rx flag
lpuart_dma_rx_use to false in lpuart_dma_shutdown so that dmas are not
accessed after they are relinquished.
Otherwise, when try to kill btattach, kernel may panic. This patch may
fix this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix race between quota enable and quota rescan ioctl
When enabling quotas, at btrfs_quota_enable(), after committing the
transaction, we change fs_info->quota_root to point to the quota root we
created and set BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED at fs_info->flags. Then we try
to start the qgroup rescan worker, first by initializing it with a call
to qgroup_rescan_init() - however if that fails we end up freeing the
quota root but we leave fs_info->quota_root still pointing to it, this
can later result in a use-after-free somewhere else.
We have previously set the flags BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED and
BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_ON, so we can only fail with -EINPROGRESS at
btrfs_quota_enable(), which is possible if someone already called the
quota rescan ioctl, and therefore started the rescan worker.
So fix this by ignoring an -EINPROGRESS and asserting we can't get any
other error.
