Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.15.119 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: qcom: fix storing port config out-of-bounds
The 'qcom_swrm_ctrl->pconfig' has size of QCOM_SDW_MAX_PORTS (14),
however we index it starting from 1, not 0, to match real port numbers.
This can lead to writing port config past 'pconfig' bounds and
overwriting next member of 'qcom_swrm_ctrl' struct. Reported also by
smatch:
drivers/soundwire/qcom.c:1269 qcom_swrm_get_port_config() error: buffer overflow 'ctrl->pconfig' 14 <= 14

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
FS: JFS: Fix null-ptr-deref Read in txBegin
Syzkaller reported an issue where txBegin may be called
on a superblock in a read-only mounted filesystem which leads
to NULL pointer deref. This could be solved by checking if
the filesystem is read-only before calling txBegin, and returning
with appropiate error code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: wait interruptibly for request completions on exit
WHen the ring exits, cleanup is done and the final cancelation and
waiting on completions is done by io_ring_exit_work. That function is
invoked by kworker, which doesn't take any signals. Because of that, it
doesn't really matter if we wait for completions in TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE
or TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state. However, it does matter to the hung task
detection checker!
Normally we expect cancelations and completions to happen rather
quickly. Some test cases, however, will exit the ring and park the
owning task stopped (eg via SIGSTOP). If the owning task needs to run
task_work to complete requests, then io_ring_exit_work won't make any
progress until the task is runnable again. Hence io_ring_exit_work can
trigger the hung task detection, which is particularly problematic if
panic-on-hung-task is enabled.
As the ring exit doesn't take signals to begin with, have it wait
interruptibly rather than uninterruptibly. io_uring has a separate
stuck-exit warning that triggers independently anyway, so we're not
really missing anything by making this switch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla4xxx: Add length check when parsing nlattrs
There are three places that qla4xxx parses nlattrs:
- qla4xxx_set_chap_entry()
- qla4xxx_iface_set_param()
- qla4xxx_sysfs_ddb_set_param()
and each of them directly converts the nlattr to specific pointer of
structure without length checking. This could be dangerous as those
attributes are not validated and a malformed nlattr (e.g., length 0) could
result in an OOB read that leaks heap dirty data.
Add the nla_len check before accessing the nlattr data and return EINVAL if
the length check fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: multitouch: Correct devm device reference for hidinput input_dev name
Reference the HID device rather than the input device for the devm
allocation of the input_dev name. Referencing the input_dev would lead to a
use-after-free when the input_dev was unregistered and subsequently fires a
uevent that depends on the name. At the point of firing the uevent, the
name would be freed by devres management.
Use devm_kasprintf to simplify the logic for allocating memory and
formatting the input_dev name string.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix null ndlp ptr dereference in abnormal exit path for GFT_ID
An error case exit from lpfc_cmpl_ct_cmd_gft_id() results in a call to
lpfc_nlp_put() with a null pointer to a nodelist structure.
Changed lpfc_cmpl_ct_cmd_gft_id() to initialize nodelist pointer upon
entry.
