Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.1.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Increase array size of dummy_boolean
[WHY]
dml2_core_shared_mode_support and dml_core_mode_support access the third
element of dummy_boolean, i.e. hw_debug5 = &s->dummy_boolean[2], when
dummy_boolean has size of 2. Any assignment to hw_debug5 causes an
OVERRUN.
[HOW]
Increase dummy_boolean's array size to 3.
This fixes 2 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Deallocate DML memory if allocation fails
[Why]
When DC state create DML memory allocation fails, memory is not
deallocated subsequently, resulting in uninitialized structure
that is not NULL.
[How]
Deallocate memory if DML memory allocation fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Limit the number of concurrent async COPY operations
Nothing appears to limit the number of concurrent async COPY
operations that clients can start. In addition, AFAICT each async
COPY can copy an unlimited number of 4MB chunks, so can run for a
long time. Thus IMO async COPY can become a DoS vector.
Add a restriction mechanism that bounds the number of concurrent
background COPY operations. Start simple and try to be fair -- this
patch implements a per-namespace limit.
An async COPY request that occurs while this limit is exceeded gets
NFS4ERR_DELAY. The requesting client can choose to send the request
again after a delay or fall back to a traditional read/write style
copy.
If there is need to make the mechanism more sophisticated, we can
visit that in future patches.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: reserve space for inline xattr before attaching reflink tree
One of our customers reported a crash and a corrupted ocfs2 filesystem.
The crash was due to the detection of corruption. Upon troubleshooting,
the fsck -fn output showed the below corruption
[EXTENT_LIST_FREE] Extent list in owner 33080590 claims 230 as the next free chain record,
but fsck believes the largest valid value is 227. Clamp the next record value? n
The stat output from the debugfs.ocfs2 showed the following corruption
where the "Next Free Rec:" had overshot the "Count:" in the root metadata
block.

The issue was in the reflink workfow while reserving space for inline
xattr. The problematic function is ocfs2_reflink_xattr_inline(). By the
time this function is called the reflink tree is already recreated at the
destination inode from the source inode. At this point, this function
reserves space for inline xattrs at the destination inode without even
checking if there is space at the root metadata block. It simply reduces
the l_count from 243 to 227 thereby making space of 256 bytes for inline
xattr whereas the inode already has extents beyond this index (in this
case up to 230), thereby causing corruption.
The fix for this is to reserve space for inline metadata at the destination
inode before the reflink tree gets recreated. The customer has verified the
fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: stop waiting for space when jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns error
In __jbd2_log_wait_for_space(), we might call jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()
to recover some journal space. But if an error occurs while executing
jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() (e.g., an EIO), we don't stop waiting for free
space right away, we try other branches, and if j_committing_transaction
is NULL (i.e., the tid is 0), we will get the following complain:
============================================
JBD2: I/O error when updating journal superblock for sdd-8.
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: needed 256 blocks and only had 217 space available
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: no way to get more journal space in sdd-8
------------[ cut here ]------------

============================================
So only if jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns 1, i.e., there is nothing to
clean up at the moment, continue to try to reclaim free space in other ways.
Note that this fix relies on commit 6f6a6fda2945 ("jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt
when updating journal superblock fails") to make jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail
return the correct error code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount
Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super
The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer,
which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should
guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi).
When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3,
where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing
a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function
that ultimately re-arms the timer,
leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called.
Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: check null return of ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED() in acpi_db_convert_to_package()
ACPICA commit 4d4547cf13cca820ff7e0f859ba83e1a610b9fd0
ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED() may fail, elements might be NULL and will cause
NULL pointer dereference later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: cancel dqi_sync_work before freeing oinfo
ocfs2_global_read_info() will initialize and schedule dqi_sync_work at the
end, if error occurs after successfully reading global quota, it will
trigger the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_* enabled:
ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object: 00000000d8b0ce28 object type: timer_list hint: qsync_work_fn+0x0/0x16c
This reports that there is an active delayed work when freeing oinfo in
error handling, so cancel dqi_sync_work first. BTW, return status instead
of -1 when .read_file_info fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix index out of bounds in DCN30 color transformation
This commit addresses a potential index out of bounds issue in the
`cm3_helper_translate_curve_to_hw_format` function in the DCN30 color
management module. The issue could occur when the index 'i' exceeds the
number of transfer function points (TRANSFER_FUNC_POINTS).
The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the
transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, the function returns
false to indicate an error.
