Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.2.5 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: Revert atm_account_tx() if copy_from_iter_full() fails.
In vcc_sendmsg(), we account skb->truesize to sk->sk_wmem_alloc by
atm_account_tx().
It is expected to be reverted by atm_pop_raw() later called by
vcc->dev->ops->send(vcc, skb).
However, vcc_sendmsg() misses the same revert when copy_from_iter_full()
fails, and then we will leak a socket.
Let's factorise the revert part as atm_return_tx() and call it in
the failure path.
Note that the corresponding sk_wmem_alloc operation can be found in
alloc_tx() as of the blamed commit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: sch_sfq: reject invalid perturb period
Gerrard Tai reported that SFQ perturb_period has no range check yet,
and this can be used to trigger a race condition fixed in a separate patch.
We want to make sure ctl->perturb_period * HZ will not overflow
and is positive.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: check that raw node were preallocated before writing summary
Syzkaller detected a kernel bug in jffs2_link_node_ref, caused by fault
injection in jffs2_prealloc_raw_node_refs. jffs2_sum_write_sumnode doesn't
check return value of jffs2_prealloc_raw_node_refs and simply lets any
error propagate into jffs2_sum_write_data, which eventually calls
jffs2_link_node_ref in order to link the summary to an expectedly allocated
node.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: atmtcp: Free invalid length skb in atmtcp_c_send().
syzbot reported the splat below. [0]
vcc_sendmsg() copies data passed from userspace to skb and passes
it to vcc->dev->ops->send().
atmtcp_c_send() accesses skb->data as struct atmtcp_hdr after
checking if skb->len is 0, but it's not enough.
Also, when skb->len == 0, skb and sk (vcc) were leaked because
dev_kfree_skb() is not called and sk_wmem_alloc adjustment is missing
to revert atm_account_tx() in vcc_sendmsg(), which is expected
to be done in atm_pop_raw().
Let's properly free skb with an invalid length in atmtcp_c_send().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atm: fix /proc/net/atm/lec handling
/proc/net/atm/lec must ensure safety against dev_lec[] changes.
It appears it had dev_put() calls without prior dev_hold(),
leading to imbalance and UAF.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sch_hfsc: make hfsc_qlen_notify() idempotent
hfsc_qlen_notify() is not idempotent either and not friendly
to its callers, like fq_codel_dequeue(). Let's make it idempotent
to ease qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() callers' life:
1. update_vf() decreases cl->cl_nactive, so we can check whether it is
non-zero before calling it.
2. eltree_remove() always removes RB node cl->el_node, but we can use
RB_EMPTY_NODE() + RB_CLEAR_NODE() to make it safe.

thunderbolt: Do not double dequeue a configuration request
Some of our devices crash in tb_cfg_request_dequeue():
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122
CPU: 6 PID: 91007 Comm: kworker/6:2 Tainted: G U W 6.6.65

The circumstances are unclear, however, the theory is that
tb_cfg_request_work() can be scheduled twice for a request:
first time via frame.callback from ring_work() and second
time from tb_cfg_request(). Both times kworkers will execute
tb_cfg_request_dequeue(), which results in double list_del()
from the ctl->request_queue (the list poison deference hints
at it: 0xdead000000000122).
Do not dequeue requests that don't have TB_CFG_REQUEST_ACTIVE
bit set.

The reason is: in fuzzed image, sbi->total_valid_block_count is
inconsistent w/ mapped blocks indexed by inode, so, we should
not trigger panic for such case, instead, let's print log and
set fsck flag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: Abort software beacon handling if disabled
A malicious USB device can send a WMI_SWBA_EVENTID event from an
ath9k_htc-managed device before beaconing has been enabled. This causes
a device-by-zero error in the driver, leading to either a crash or an
out of bounds read.
Prevent this by aborting the handling in ath9k_htc_swba() if beacons are
not enabled.
