Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.6.8 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Add cond_resched() to ftrace_graph_set_hash()
When the kernel contains a large number of functions that can be traced,
the loop in ftrace_graph_set_hash() may take a lot of time to execute.
This may trigger the softlockup watchdog.
Add cond_resched() within the loop to allow the kernel to remain
responsive even when processing a large number of functions.
This matches the cond_resched() that is used in other locations of the
code that iterates over all functions that can be traced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
objtool, media: dib8000: Prevent divide-by-zero in dib8000_set_dds()
If dib8000_set_dds()'s call to dib8000_read32() returns zero, the result
is a divide-by-zero. Prevent that from happening.
Fixes the following warning with an UBSAN kernel:
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dib8000.o: warning: objtool: dib8000_tune() falls through to next function dib8096p_cfg_DibRx()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Fix potential buffer overflow in parse_ivrs_acpihid
There is a string parsing logic error which can lead to an overflow of hid
or uid buffers. Comparing ACPIID_LEN against a total string length doesn't
take into account the lengths of individual hid and uid buffers so the
check is insufficient in some cases. For example if the length of hid
string is 4 and the length of the uid string is 260, the length of str
will be equal to ACPIID_LEN + 1 but uid string will overflow uid buffer
which size is 256.
The same applies to the hid string with length 13 and uid string with
length 250.
Check the length of hid and uid strings separately to prevent
buffer overflow.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: Fix WARN_ON in nouveau_fence_context_kill()
Nouveau is mostly designed in a way that it's expected that fences only
ever get signaled through nouveau_fence_signal(). However, in at least
one other place, nouveau_fence_done(), can signal fences, too. If that
happens (race) a signaled fence remains in the pending list for a while,
until it gets removed by nouveau_fence_update().
Should nouveau_fence_context_kill() run in the meantime, this would be
a bug because the function would attempt to set an error code on an
already signaled fence.
Have nouveau_fence_context_kill() check for a fence being signaled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sch_htb: make htb_qlen_notify() idempotent
htb_qlen_notify() always deactivates the HTB class and in fact could
trigger a warning if it is already deactivated. Therefore, it is not
idempotent and not friendly to its callers, like fq_codel_dequeue().
Let's make it idempotent to ease qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() callers'
life.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: drr: Fix double list add in class with netem as child qdisc
As described in Gerrard's report [1], there are use cases where a netem
child qdisc will make the parent qdisc's enqueue callback reentrant.
In the case of drr, there won't be a UAF, but the code will add the same
classifier to the list twice, which will cause memory corruption.
In addition to checking for qlen being zero, this patch checks whether the
class was already added to the active_list (cl_is_active) before adding
to the list to cover for the reentrant case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: Fix race condition in AF_XDP generic RX path
Move rx_lock from xsk_socket to xsk_buff_pool.
Fix synchronization for shared umem mode in
generic RX path where multiple sockets share
single xsk_buff_pool.
RX queue is exclusive to xsk_socket, while FILL
queue can be shared between multiple sockets.
This could result in race condition where two
CPU cores access RX path of two different sockets
sharing the same umem.
Protect both queues by acquiring spinlock in shared
xsk_buff_pool.
Lock contention may be minimized in the future by some
per-thread FQ buffering.
It's safe and necessary to move spin_lock_bh(rx_lock)
after xsk_rcv_check():
* xs->pool and spinlock_init is synchronized by
xsk_bind() -> xsk_is_bound() memory barriers.
* xsk_rcv_check() may return true at the moment
of xsk_release() or xsk_unbind_dev(),
however this will not cause any data races or
race conditions. xsk_unbind_dev() removes xdp
socket from all maps and waits for completion
of all outstanding rx operations. Packets in
RX path will either complete safely or drop.

It has been reported that trace_seq_to_buffer() tries to copy more data
than PAGE_SIZE to buf. Therefore, to prevent this, we should use the
smaller of trace_seq_used(&iter->seq) and PAGE_SIZE as an argument.

net: lan743x: Fix memleak issue when GSO enabled
Always map the `skb` to the LS descriptor. Previously skb was
mapped to EXT descriptor when the number of fragments is zero with
GSO enabled. Mapping the skb to EXT descriptor prevents it from
