Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.0.11 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: hid-pl: handle probe errors

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm6: fix uninitialized saddr in xfrm6_get_saddr()
xfrm6_get_saddr() does not check the return value of
ipv6_dev_get_saddr(). When ipv6_dev_get_saddr() fails to find a suitable
source address (returns -EADDRNOTAVAIL), saddr->in6 is left
uninitialized, but xfrm6_get_saddr() still returns 0 (success).
This causes the caller xfrm_tmpl_resolve_one() to use the uninitialized
address in xfrm_state_find(), triggering KMSAN warning:

Fix by checking the return value of ipv6_dev_get_saddr() and propagating
the error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: magicmouse: Do not crash on missing msc->input
Fake USB devices can send their own report descriptors for which the
input_mapping() hook does not get called. In this case, msc->input stays NULL,
leading to a crash at a later time.
Detect this condition in the input_configured() hook and reject the device.
This is not supposed to happen with actual magic mouse devices, but can be
provoked by imposing as a magic mouse USB device.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntb: ntb_hw_switchtec: Fix shift-out-of-bounds for 0 mw lut
Number of MW LUTs depends on NTB configuration and can be set to zero,
in such scenario rounddown_pow_of_two will cause undefined behaviour and
should not be performed.
This patch ensures that rounddown_pow_of_two is called on valid value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-verity: correctly handle dm_bufio_client_create() failure
If either of the calls to dm_bufio_client_create() in verity_fec_ctr()
fails, then dm_bufio_client_destroy() is later called with an ERR_PTR()
argument. That causes a crash. Fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix missing key size check for L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ
This adds a check for encryption key size upon receiving
L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ which is required by L2CAP/LE/CFC/BV-15-C which
expects L2CAP_CR_LE_BAD_KEY_SIZE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: cx23885: Add missing unmap in snd_cx23885_hw_params()
In error path, add cx23885_alsa_dma_unmap() to release the
resource acquired by cx23885_alsa_dma_map().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: check return value of con2fb_acquire_newinfo()
If fbcon_open() fails when called from con2fb_acquire_newinfo() then
info->fbcon_par pointer remains NULL which is later dereferenced.
Add check for return value of the function con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to
avoid it.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore: ram_core: fix incorrect success return when vmap() fails
In persistent_ram_vmap(), vmap() may return NULL on failure.
If offset is non-zero, adding offset_in_page(start) causes the function
to return a non-NULL pointer even though the mapping failed.
persistent_ram_buffer_map() therefore incorrectly returns success.
Subsequent access to prz->buffer may dereference an invalid address
and cause crashes.
Add proper NULL checking for vmap() failures.
