Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.35.2 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: slab-out-of-bounds read in brcmf_get_assoc_ies()
Fix a slab-out-of-bounds read that occurs in kmemdup() called from
brcmf_get_assoc_ies().
The bug could occur when assoc_info->req_len, data from a URB provided
by a USB device, is bigger than the size of buffer which is defined as
WL_EXTRA_BUF_MAX.
Add the size check for req_len/resp_len of assoc_info.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: jfs: fix shift-out-of-bounds in dbDiscardAG
This should be applied to most URSAN bugs found recently by syzbot,
by guarding the dbMount. As syzbot feeding rubbish into the bmap

According to commit "vfs: parse: deal with zero length string value",
kernel will set the param->string to null pointer in vfs_parse_fs_string()
if fs string has zero length.
Yet the problem is that, hugetlbfs_parse_param() will dereference the
param->string, without checking whether it is a null pointer. To be more
specific, if hugetlbfs_parse_param() parses an illegal mount parameter,
such as "size=,", kernel will constructs struct fs_parameter with null
pointer in vfs_parse_fs_string(), then passes this struct fs_parameter to
hugetlbfs_parse_param(), which triggers the above null-ptr-deref bug.
This patch solves it by adding sanity check on param->string
in hugetlbfs_parse_param().

jbd2: fix potential use-after-free in jbd2_fc_wait_bufs
In 'jbd2_fc_wait_bufs' use 'bh' after put buffer head reference count
which may lead to use-after-free.
So judge buffer if uptodate before put buffer head reference count.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: Fix hung when signal interrupts nbd_start_device_ioctl()
syzbot reported hung task [1]. The following program is a simplified
version of the reproducer:
int main(void)
{
int sv[2], fd;
if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sv) < 0)
return 1;
if ((fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 0)) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, 0x81) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, sv[0]) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT) < 0)
return 1;
return 0;
}
When signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl() waiting the condition
atomic_read(&config->recv_threads) == 0, the task can hung because it
waits the completion of the inflight IOs.
This patch fixes the issue by clearing queue, not just shutdown, when
signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl().

This happens because sata_pmp_init_links() initialize link->pmp up to
SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS while em_priv is declared as 8 elements array.
I can't find the maximum Enclosure Management ports specified in AHCI
spec v1.3.1, but "12.2.1 LED message type" states that "Port Multiplier
Information" can utilize 4 bits, which implies it can support up to 16
ports. Hence, use SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS as EM_MAX_SLOTS to resolve the
issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: tables: FPDT: Don't call acpi_os_map_memory() on invalid phys address
On a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600 model) there is a FPDT table
which contains invalid physical addresses, with high bits set which fall
outside the range of the CPU-s supported physical address range.
Calling acpi_os_map_memory() on such an invalid phys address leads to
the below WARN_ON in ioremap triggering resulting in an oops/stacktrace.
Add code to verify the physical address before calling acpi_os_map_memory()
to fix / avoid the oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix potential out of bound read in ext4_fc_replay_scan()
For scan loop must ensure that at least EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN space. If remain
space less than EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN which will lead to out of bound read
when mounting corrupt file system image.
ADD_RANGE/HEAD/TAIL is needed to add extra check when do journal scan, as this
three tags will read data during scan, tag length couldn't less than data length
which will read.

wifi: ath9k: verify the expected usb_endpoints are present
The bug arises when a USB device claims to be an ATH9K but doesn't
have the expected endpoints. (In this case there was an interrupt
endpoint where the driver expected a bulk endpoint.) The kernel
needs to be able to handle such devices without getting an internal error.
