Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.18.10 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
reset: gpio: suppress bind attributes in sysfs
This is a special device that's created dynamically and is supposed to
stay in memory forever. We also currently don't have a devlink between
it and the actual reset consumer. Suppress sysfs bind attributes so that
user-space can't unbind the device because - as of now - it will cause a
use-after-free splat from any user that puts the reset control handle.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm6: fix uninitialized saddr in xfrm6_get_saddr()
xfrm6_get_saddr() does not check the return value of
ipv6_dev_get_saddr(). When ipv6_dev_get_saddr() fails to find a suitable
source address (returns -EADDRNOTAVAIL), saddr->in6 is left
uninitialized, but xfrm6_get_saddr() still returns 0 (success).
This causes the caller xfrm_tmpl_resolve_one() to use the uninitialized
address in xfrm_state_find(), triggering KMSAN warning:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: magicmouse: Do not crash on missing msc->input
Fake USB devices can send their own report descriptors for which the
input_mapping() hook does not get called. In this case, msc->input stays NULL,
leading to a crash at a later time.
Detect this condition in the input_configured() hook and reject the device.
This is not supposed to happen with actual magic mouse devices, but can be
provoked by imposing as a magic mouse USB device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix shift-out-of-bounds for 0 mw lut
Number of MW LUTs depends on NTB configuration and can be set to zero,
in such scenario rounddown_pow_of_two will cause undefined behaviour and
should not be performed.
This patch ensures that rounddown_pow_of_two is called on valid value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: iris: gen1: Destroy internal buffers after FW releases
After the firmware releases internal buffers, the driver was not
destroying them. This left stale allocations that were no longer used,
especially across resolution changes where new buffers are allocated per
the updated requirements. As a result, memory was wasted until session
close.
Destroy internal buffers once the release response is received from the
firmware.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: core: Add locking around 'mfd_of_node_list'
Manipulating a list in the kernel isn't safe without some sort of
mutual exclusion. Add a mutex any time we access / modify
'mfd_of_node_list' to prevent possible crashes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential kernel oops when probe fails
When probe of the sdio brcmfmac device fails for some reasons (i.e.
missing firmware), the sdiodev->bus is set to error instead of NULL, thus
the cleanup later in brcmf_sdio_remove() tries to free resources via
invalid bus pointer. This happens because sdiodev->bus is set 2 times:
first in brcmf_sdio_probe() and second time in brcmf_sdiod_probe(). Fix
this by chaning the brcmf_sdio_probe() function to return the error code
and set sdio->bus only there.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: imx_rproc: Fix invalid loaded resource table detection
imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() may incorrectly report a loaded
resource table even when the current firmware does not provide one.
When the device tree contains a "rsc-table" entry, priv->rsc_table is
non-NULL and denotes where a resource table would be located if one is
present in memory. However, when the current firmware has no resource
table, rproc->table_ptr is NULL. The function still returns
priv->rsc_table, and the remoteproc core interprets this as a valid loaded
resource table.
Fix this by returning NULL from imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() when
there is no resource table for the current firmware (i.e. when
rproc->table_ptr is NULL). This aligns the function's semantics with the
remoteproc core: a loaded resource table is only reported when a valid
table_ptr exists.
With this change, starting firmware without a resource table no longer
triggers a crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Flush dev-IOTLB only when PCIe device is accessible in scalable mode
Commit 4fc82cd907ac ("iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation
request when device is disconnected") relies on
pci_dev_is_disconnected() to skip ATS invalidation for
safely-removed devices, but it does not cover link-down caused
by faults, which can still hard-lock the system.
For example, if a VM fails to connect to the PCIe device,
"virsh destroy" is executed to release resources and isolate
the fault, but a hard-lockup occurs while releasing the group fd.
Call Trace:

qi_flush_dev_iotlb

Although pci_device_is_present() is slower than
pci_dev_is_disconnected(), it still takes only ~70 µs on a
ConnectX-5 (8 GT/s, x2) and becomes even faster as PCIe speed
and width increase.
Besides, devtlb_invalidation_with_pasid() is called only in the
paths below, which are far less frequent than memory map/unmap.
1. mm-struct release
2. {attach,release}_dev
3. set/remove PASID
4. dirty-tracking setup
The gain in system stability far outweighs the negligible cost
of using pci_device_is_present() instead of pci_dev_is_disconnected()
to decide when to skip ATS invalidation, especially under GDR
high-load conditions.
