Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.108 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: avoid buffer overflow attach in smu_sys_set_pp_table()
It malicious user provides a small pptable through sysfs and then
a bigger pptable, it may cause buffer overflow attack in function
smu_sys_set_pp_table().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: fix panic during interface removal
Reference counting is used to ensure that
batadv_hardif_neigh_node and batadv_hard_iface
are not freed before/during
batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update work is
finished.
But there isn't a guarantee that the hard if will
remain associated with a soft interface up until
the work is finished.
This fixes a crash triggered by reboot that looks
like this:
Call trace:
batadv_v_mesh_free+0xd0/0x4dc [batman_adv]
batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update+0x1c/0xa4
process_one_work+0x178/0x398
worker_thread+0x2e8/0x4d0
kthread+0xd8/0xdc
ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20
(the batadv_v_mesh_free call is misleading,
and does not actually happen)
I was able to make the issue happen more reliably
by changing hardif_neigh->bat_v.metric_work work
to be delayed work. This allowed me to track down
and confirm the fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ndisc: use RCU protection in ndisc_alloc_skb()
ndisc_alloc_skb() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.
Add RCU protection to avoid possible UAF.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: use RCU protection in ip6_default_advmss()
ip6_default_advmss() needs rcu protection to make
sure the net structure it reads does not disappear.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv6: fix dst ref loops in rpl, seg6 and ioam6 lwtunnels
Some lwtunnels have a dst cache for post-transformation dst.
If the packet destination did not change we may end up recording
a reference to the lwtunnel in its own cache, and the lwtunnel
state will never be freed.
Discovered by the ioam6.sh test, kmemleak was recently fixed
to catch per-cpu memory leaks. I'm not sure if rpl and seg6
can actually hit this, but in principle I don't see why not.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
partitions: mac: fix handling of bogus partition table
Fix several issues in partition probing:
- The bailout for a bad partoffset must use put_dev_sector(), since the
preceding read_part_sector() succeeded.
- If the partition table claims a silly sector size like 0xfff bytes
(which results in partition table entries straddling sector boundaries),
bail out instead of accessing out-of-bounds memory.
- We must not assume that the partition table contains proper NUL
termination - use strnlen() and strncmp() instead of strlen() and
strcmp().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: add RCU protection to mld_newpack()
mld_newpack() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.
Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.
Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk
socket under RCU protection.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: mcast: extend RCU protection in igmp6_send()
igmp6_send() can be called without RTNL or RCU being held.
Extend RCU protection so that we can safely fetch the net pointer
and avoid a potential UAF.
Note that we no longer can use sock_alloc_send_skb() because
ipv6.igmp_sk uses GFP_KERNEL allocations which can sleep.
Instead use alloc_skb() and charge the net->ipv6.igmp_sk

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ndisc: extend RCU protection in ndisc_send_skb()
ndisc_send_skb() can be called without RTNL or RCU held.
Acquire rcu_read_lock() earlier, so that we can use dev_net_rcu()
and avoid a potential UAF.
