Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.10.5 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: out of bounds read in mtk_hwlro_get_fdir_entry()
The "fsp->location" variable comes from user via ethtool_get_rxnfc().
Check that it is valid to prevent an out of bounds read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: dmi-sysfs: Fix memory leak in dmi_sysfs_register_handle
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fix this issue by calling kobject_put().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix deadlock in __device_attach
In __device_attach function, The lock holding logic is as follows:
...
__device_attach
device_lock(dev) // get lock dev
async_schedule_dev(__device_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
__device_attach_async_helper will get lock dev as
well, 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 shown above, when it is allowed to do async probes, because of
out of memory or work limit, async work is not allowed, to do
sync execute instead. it will lead to A-A deadlock because of
__device_attach_async_helper getting lock dev.
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:
tcp: tcp_rtx_synack() can be called from process context
Laurent reported the enclosed report [1]
This bug triggers with following coditions:
0) Kernel built with CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT=y
1) A new passive FastOpen TCP socket is created.
This FO socket waits for an ACK coming from client to be a complete
ESTABLISHED one.
2) A socket operation on this socket goes through lock_sock()
release_sock() dance.
3) While the socket is owned by the user in step 2),
a retransmit of the SYN is received and stored in socket backlog.
4) At release_sock() time, the socket backlog is processed while
in process context.
5) A SYNACK packet is cooked in response of the SYN retransmit.
6) -> tcp_rtx_synack() is called in process context.
Before blamed commit, tcp_rtx_synack() was always called from BH handler,
from a timer handler.
Fix this by using TCP_INC_STATS() & NET_INC_STATS()
which do not assume caller is in non preemptible context.

watchdog: ts4800_wdt: Fix refcount leak in ts4800_wdt_probe
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
Add missing of_node_put() in some error paths.

The root cause is: ckpt.valid_block_count is inconsistent with SIT table,
stat info indicates filesystem has free blocks, but SIT table indicates
filesystem has no free segment.
So that during garbage colloection, it triggers panic when LFS allocator
fails to find free segment.
This patch tries to fix this issue by checking consistency in between
ckpt.valid_block_count and block accounted from SIT.

f2fs: fix to do sanity check for inline inode
Yanming reported a kernel bug in Bugzilla kernel [1], which can be
reproduced. The bug message is:
The kernel message is shown below:
kernel BUG at fs/inode.c:611!
Call Trace:
evict+0x282/0x4e0
__dentry_kill+0x2b2/0x4d0

do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90
[1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215895
The bug is due to fuzzed inode has both inline_data and encrypted flags.
During f2fs_evict_inode(), as the inode was deleted by rename(), it
will cause inline data conversion due to conflicting flags. The page
cache will be polluted and the panic will be triggered in clear_inode().
Try fixing the bug by doing more sanity checks for inline data inode in
sanity_check_inode().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to do sanity check on block address in f2fs_do_zero_range()
As Yanming reported in bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215894
I have encountered a bug in F2FS file system in kernel v5.17.
I have uploaded the system call sequence as case.c, and a fuzzed image can
be found in google net disk
The kernel should enable CONFIG_KASAN=y and CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE=y. You can
reproduce the bug by running the following commands:
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/segment.c:2291!
Call Trace:
f2fs_invalidate_blocks+0x193/0x2d0
f2fs_fallocate+0x2593/0x4a70
vfs_fallocate+0x2a5/0xac0
ksys_fallocate+0x35/0x70
__x64_sys_fallocate+0x8e/0xf0
do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae
The root cause is, after image was fuzzed, block mapping info in inode
will be inconsistent with SIT table, so in f2fs_fallocate(), it will cause
panic when updating SIT with invalid blkaddr.
Let's fix the issue by adding sanity check on block address before updating
SIT table with it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid cycles in directory h-tree
A maliciously corrupted filesystem can contain cycles in the h-tree
stored inside a directory. That can easily lead to the kernel corrupting
tree nodes that were already verified under its hands while doing a node
split and consequently accessing unallocated memory. Fix the problem by
verifying traversed block numbers are unique.
