Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.8.17 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: dwc: Deallocate EPC memory on dw_pcie_ep_init() errors
If dw_pcie_ep_init() fails to perform any action after the EPC memory is
initialized and the MSI memory region is allocated, the latter parts won't
be undone thus causing a memory leak. Add a cleanup-on-error path to fix
these leaks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix potential deadlock in __driver_attach
In __driver_attach function, There are also AA deadlock problem,
like the commit b232b02bf3c2 ("driver core: fix deadlock in
__device_attach").
stack like commit b232b02bf3c2 ("driver core: fix deadlock in
__device_attach").
list below:
In __driver_attach function, The lock holding logic is as follows:
...
__driver_attach
if (driver_allows_async_probing(drv))
device_lock(dev) // get lock dev
async_schedule_dev(__driver_attach_async_helper, dev); // func
async_schedule_node
async_schedule_node_domain(func)
entry = kzalloc(sizeof(struct async_entry), GFP_ATOMIC);
/* when fail or work limit, sync to execute func, but
__driver_attach_async_helper will get lock dev as
will, which will lead to A-A deadlock. */
if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK) {
func;
else
queue_work_node(node, system_unbound_wq, &entry->work)
device_unlock(dev)
As above show, when it is allowed to do async probes, because of
out of memory or work limit, async work is not be allowed, to do
sync execute instead. it will lead to A-A deadlock because of
__driver_attach_async_helper getting lock dev.
Reproduce:
and it can be reproduce by make the condition
(if (!entry || atomic_read(&entry_count) > MAX_WORK)) untenable, like
below:

To fix the deadlock, move the async_schedule_dev outside device_lock,
as we can see, in async_schedule_node_domain, the parameter of
queue_work_node is system_unbound_wq, so it can accept concurrent
operations. which will also not change the code logic, and will
not lead to deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdns3: change place of 'priv_ep' assignment in cdns3_gadget_ep_dequeue(), cdns3_gadget_ep_enable()
If 'ep' is NULL, result of ep_to_cdns3_ep(ep) is invalid pointer
and its dereference with priv_ep->cdns3_dev may cause panic.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hfi1: fix potential memory leak in setup_base_ctxt()
setup_base_ctxt() allocates a memory chunk for uctxt->groups with
hfi1_alloc_ctxt_rcv_groups(). When init_user_ctxt() fails, uctxt->groups
is not released, which will lead to a memory leak.
We should release the uctxt->groups with hfi1_free_ctxt_rcv_groups()
when init_user_ctxt() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/siw: Fix duplicated reported IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY event
If siw_recv_mpa_rr returns -EAGAIN, it means that the MPA reply hasn't
been received completely, and should not report IW_CM_EVENT_CONNECT_REPLY
in this case. This may trigger a call trace in iw_cm. A simple way to
trigger this:
server: ib_send_lat
client: ib_send_lat -R <server_ip>
The call trace looks like this:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/qedr: Fix potential memory leak in __qedr_alloc_mr()
__qedr_alloc_mr() allocates a memory chunk for "mr->info.pbl_table" with
init_mr_info(). When rdma_alloc_tid() and rdma_register_tid() fail, "mr"
is released while "mr->info.pbl_table" is not released, which will lead
to a memory leak.
We should release the "mr->info.pbl_table" with qedr_free_pbl() when error
occurs to fix the memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: aspeed-vhub: Fix refcount leak bug in ast_vhub_init_desc()
We should call of_node_put() for the reference returned by
of_get_child_by_name() which has increased the refcount.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memstick/ms_block: Fix a memory leak
'erased_blocks_bitmap' is never freed. As it is allocated at the same time
as 'used_blocks_bitmap', it is likely that it should be freed also at the
same time.
Add the corresponding bitmap_free() in msb_data_clear().
