Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.93 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: don't ignore the return code of svc_proc_register()
Currently, nfsd_proc_stat_init() ignores the return value of
svc_proc_register(). If the procfile creation fails, then the kernel
will WARN when it tries to remove the entry later.
Fix nfsd_proc_stat_init() to return the same type of pointer as
svc_proc_register(), and fix up nfsd_net_init() to check that and fail
the nfsd_net construction if it occurs.
svc_proc_register() can fail if the dentry can't be allocated, or if an
identical dentry already exists. The second case is pretty unlikely in
the nfsd_net construction codepath, so if this happens, return -ENOMEM.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: streamzap: fix race between device disconnection and urb callback
Syzkaller has reported a general protection fault at function
ir_raw_event_store_with_filter(). This crash is caused by a NULL pointer
dereference of dev->raw pointer, even though it is checked for NULL in
the same function, which means there is a race condition. It occurs due
to the incorrect order of actions in the streamzap_disconnect() function:
rc_unregister_device() is called before usb_kill_urb(). The dev->raw
pointer is freed and set to NULL in rc_unregister_device(), and only
after that usb_kill_urb() waits for in-progress requests to finish.
If rc_unregister_device() is called while streamzap_callback() handler is
not finished, this can lead to accessing freed resources. Thus
rc_unregister_device() should be called after usb_kill_urb().
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: vimc: skip .s_stream() for stopped entities
Syzbot reported [1] a warning prompted by a check in call_s_stream()
that checks whether .s_stream() operation is warranted for unstarted
or stopped subdevs.
Add a simple fix in vimc_streamer_pipeline_terminate() ensuring that
entities skip a call to .s_stream() unless they have been previously
properly started.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: Don't call NULL in do_compat_alignment_fixup()
do_alignment_t32_to_handler() only fixes up alignment faults for
specific instructions; it returns NULL otherwise (e.g. LDREX). When
that's the case, signal to the caller that it needs to proceed with the
regular alignment fault handling (i.e. SIGBUS). Without this patch, the
kernel panics:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/ASPM: Fix link state exit during switch upstream function removal
Before 456d8aa37d0f ("PCI/ASPM: Disable ASPM on MFD function removal to
avoid use-after-free"), we would free the ASPM link only after the last
function on the bus pertaining to the given link was removed.
That was too late. If function 0 is removed before sibling function,
link->downstream would point to free'd memory after.
After above change, we freed the ASPM parent link state upon any function
removal on the bus pertaining to a given link.
That is too early. If the link is to a PCIe switch with MFD on the upstream
port, then removing functions other than 0 first would free a link which
still remains parent_link to the remaining downstream ports.
The resulting GPFs are especially frequent during hot-unplug, because
pciehp removes devices on the link bus in reverse order.
On that switch, function 0 is the virtual P2P bridge to the internal bus.
Free exactly when function 0 is removed -- before the parent link is
obsolete, but after all subordinate links are gone.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: add check read-only before truncation in jfs_truncate_nolock()
Added a check for "read-only" mode in the `jfs_truncate_nolock`
function to avoid errors related to writing to a read-only
filesystem.
Call stack:
block_write_begin() {
jfs_write_failed() {
jfs_truncate() {
jfs_truncate_nolock() {
txEnd() {
...
log = JFS_SBI(tblk->sb)->log;
// (log == NULL)
If the `isReadOnly(ip)` condition is triggered in
`jfs_truncate_nolock`, the function execution will stop, and no
further data modification will occur. Instead, the `xtTruncate`
function will be called with the "COMMIT_WMAP" flag, preventing
modifications in "read-only" mode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: add srng->lock for ath11k_hal_srng_* in monitor mode
ath11k_hal_srng_* should be used with srng->lock to protect srng data.
For ath11k_dp_rx_mon_dest_process() and ath11k_dp_full_mon_process_rx(),
they use ath11k_hal_srng_* for many times but never call srng->lock.
So when running (full) monitor mode, warning will occur:
RIP: 0010:ath11k_hal_srng_dst_peek+0x18/0x30 [ath11k]
Call Trace:
? ath11k_hal_srng_dst_peek+0x18/0x30 [ath11k]

So add srng->lock for them to avoid such warnings.
Inorder to fetch the srng->lock, should change srng's definition from
'void' to 'struct hal_srng'. And initialize them elsewhere to prevent
one line of code from being too long. This is consistent with other ring
process functions, such as ath11k_dp_process_rx().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix RCU stall while reaping monitor destination ring
While processing the monitor destination ring, MSDUs are reaped from the
link descriptor based on the corresponding buf_id.
However, sometimes the driver cannot obtain a valid buffer corresponding
to the buf_id received from the hardware. This causes an infinite loop
in the destination processing, resulting in a kernel crash.
kernel log:
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data msdu_pop: invalid buf_id 309
ath11k_pci 0000:58:00.0: data dp_rx_monitor_link_desc_return failed
Fix this by skipping the problematic buf_id and reaping the next entry,
replacing the break with the next MSDU processing.
