Debian: Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: nv04: Fix out of bounds access
When Output Resource (dcb->or) value is assigned in
fabricate_dcb_output(), there may be out of bounds access to
dac_users array in case dcb->or is zero because ffs(dcb->or) is
used as index there.
The 'or' argument of fabricate_dcb_output() must be interpreted as a
number of bit to set, not value.
Utilize macros from 'enum nouveau_or' in calls instead of hardcoding.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial/pmac_zilog: Remove flawed mitigation for rx irq flood
The mitigation was intended to stop the irq completely. That may be
better than a hard lock-up but it turns out that you get a crash anyway
if you're using pmac_zilog as a serial console:
ttyPZ0: pmz: rx irq flood !
BUG: spinlock recursion on CPU#0, swapper/0
That's because the pr_err() call in pmz_receive_chars() results in
pmz_console_write() attempting to lock a spinlock already locked in
pmz_interrupt(). With CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK=y, this produces a fatal
BUG splat. The spinlock in question is the one in struct uart_port.
Even when it's not fatal, the serial port rx function ceases to work.
Also, the iteration limit doesn't play nicely with QEMU, as can be
seen in the bug report linked below.
A web search for other reports of the error message "pmz: rx irq flood"
didn't produce anything. So I don't think this code is needed any more.
Remove it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix OOB in nilfs_set_de_type
The size of the nilfs_type_by_mode array in the fs/nilfs2/dir.c file is
defined as "S_IFMT >> S_SHIFT", but the nilfs_set_de_type() function,
which uses this array, specifies the index to read from the array in the
same way as "(mode & S_IFMT) >> S_SHIFT".
static void nilfs_set_de_type(struct nilfs_dir_entry *de, struct inode
*inode)
{
umode_t mode = inode->i_mode;
de->file_type = nilfs_type_by_mode[(mode & S_IFMT)>>S_SHIFT]; // oob
}
However, when the index is determined this way, an out-of-bounds (OOB)
error occurs by referring to an index that is 1 larger than the array size
when the condition "mode & S_IFMT == S_IFMT" is satisfied. Therefore, a
patch to resize the nilfs_type_by_mode array should be applied to prevent
OOB errors.

Adding any sort of useful debug usually makes it go away, so I hand
wrote the function in a line, and debugged the asm.
Every so often pt->memory->ptrs is NULL. This ptrs ptr is set in
the nv50_instobj_acquire called from nvkm_kmap.
If Thread A and Thread B both get to nv50_instobj_acquire around
the same time, and Thread A hits the refcount_set line, and in
lockstep thread B succeeds at refcount_inc_not_zero, there is a
chance the ptrs value won't have been stored since refcount_set
is unordered. Force a memory barrier here, I picked smp_mb, since
we want it on all CPUs and it's write followed by a read.
v2: use paired smp_rmb/smp_wmb.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - resolve race condition during AER recovery
During the PCI AER system's error recovery process, the kernel driver
may encounter a race condition with freeing the reset_data structure's
memory. If the device restart will take more than 10 seconds the function
scheduling that restart will exit due to a timeout, and the reset_data
structure will be freed. However, this data structure is used for
completion notification after the restart is completed, which leads
to a UAF bug.
This results in a KFENCE bug notice.
BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in adf_device_reset_worker+0x38/0xa0 [intel_qat]
Use-after-free read at 0x00000000bc56fddf (in kfence-#142):
adf_device_reset_worker+0x38/0xa0 [intel_qat]
process_one_work+0x173/0x340
To resolve this race condition, the memory associated to the container
of the work_struct is freed on the worker if the timeout expired,
otherwise on the function that schedules the worker.
The timeout detection can be done by checking if the caller is
still waiting for completion or not by using completion_done() function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: Always flush async #PF workqueue when vCPU is being destroyed
Always flush the per-vCPU async #PF workqueue when a vCPU is clearing its
completion queue, e.g. when a VM and all its vCPUs is being destroyed.
KVM must ensure that none of its workqueue callbacks is running when the
last reference to the KVM _module_ is put. Gifting a reference to the
associated VM prevents the workqueue callback from dereferencing freed
vCPU/VM memory, but does not prevent the KVM module from being unloaded
before the callback completes.
Drop the misguided VM refcount gifting, as calling kvm_put_kvm() from
async_pf_execute() if kvm_put_kvm() flushes the async #PF workqueue will
result in deadlock. async_pf_execute() can't return until kvm_put_kvm()
finishes, and kvm_put_kvm() can't return until async_pf_execute() finishes:

If kvm_clear_async_pf_completion_queue() actually flushes the workqueue,
then there's no need to gift async_pf_execute() a reference because all
invocations of async_pf_execute() will be forced to complete before the
vCPU and its VM are destroyed/freed. And that in turn fixes the module
unloading bug as __fput() won't do module_put() on the last vCPU reference
until the vCPU has been freed, e.g. if closing the vCPU file also puts the
last reference to the KVM module.
Note that kvm_check_async_pf_completion() may also take the work item off
the completion queue and so also needs to flush the work queue, as the
work will not be seen by kvm_clear_async_pf_completion_queue(). Waiting
on the workqueue could theoretically delay a vCPU due to waiting for the
work to complete, but that's a very, very small chance, and likely a very
small delay. kvm_arch_async_page_present_queued() unconditionally makes a
new request, i.e. will effectively delay entering the guest, so the
remaining work is really just:
trace_kvm_async_pf_completed(addr, cr2_or_gpa);
__kvm_vcpu_wake_up(vcpu);
mmput(mm);
and mmput() can't drop the last reference to the page tables if the vCPU is
still alive, i.e. the vCPU won't get stuck tearing down page tables.
Add a helper to do the flushing, specifically to deal with "wakeup all"
work items, as they aren't actually work items, i.e. are never placed in a
workqueue. Trying to flush a bogus workqueue entry rightly makes
__flush_work() complain (kudos to whoever added that sanity check).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fat: fix uninitialized field in nostale filehandles
When fat_encode_fh_nostale() encodes file handle without a parent it
stores only first 10 bytes of the file handle. However the length of the
file handle must be a multiple of 4 so the file handle is actually 12
bytes long and the last two bytes remain uninitialized. This is not
great at we potentially leak uninitialized information with the handle
to userspace. Properly initialize the full handle length.

This is because we're completing the nfs_direct_request twice in a row.
The source of this is when we have our commit requests to submit, we
process them and send them off, and then in the completion path for the
commit requests we have
if (nfs_commit_end(cinfo.mds))
nfs_direct_write_complete(dreq);
However since we're submitting asynchronous requests we sometimes have
one that completes before we submit the next one, so we end up calling
complete on the nfs_direct_request twice.
The only other place we use nfs_generic_commit_list() is in
__nfs_commit_inode, which wraps this call in a
nfs_commit_begin();
nfs_commit_end();
Which is a common pattern for this style of completion handling, one
that is also repeated in the direct code with get_dreq()/put_dreq()
calls around where we process events as well as in the completion paths.
Fix this by using the same pattern for the commit requests.
Before with my 200 node rocksdb stress running this warning would pop
every 10ish minutes. With my patch the stress test has been running for
several hours without popping.
