In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: mma8452: use the correct logic to get mma8452_data
The original logic to get mma8452_data is wrong, the *dev point to
the device belong to iio_dev. we can't use this dev to find the
correct i2c_client. The original logic happen to work because it
finally use dev->driver_data to get iio_dev. Here use the API
to_i2c_client() is wrong and make reader confuse. To correct the
logic, it should be like this
struct mma8452_data *data = iio_priv(dev_get_drvdata(dev));
But after commit 8b7651f25962 ("iio: iio_device_alloc(): Remove
unnecessary self drvdata"), the upper logic also can't work.
When try to show the avialable scale in userspace, will meet kernel
dump, kernel handle NULL pointer dereference.
So use dev_to_iio_dev() to correct the logic.
Dual fixes tags as the second reflects when the bug was exposed, whilst
the first reflects when the original bug was introduced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent prealloc proc writes
We have no protection against concurrent PCM buffer preallocation
changes via proc files, and it may potentially lead to UAF or some
weird problem. This patch applies the PCM open_mutex to the proc
write operation for avoiding the racy proc writes and the PCM stream
open (and further operations).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uaccess: fix integer overflow on access_ok()
Three architectures check the end of a user access against the
address limit without taking a possible overflow into account.
Passing a negative length or another overflow in here returns
success when it should not.
Use the most common correct implementation here, which optimizes
for a constant 'size' argument, and turns the common case into a
single comparison.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent hw_params and hw_free calls
Currently we have neither proper check nor protection against the
concurrent calls of PCM hw_params and hw_free ioctls, which may result
in a UAF. Since the existing PCM stream lock can't be used for
protecting the whole ioctl operations, we need a new mutex to protect
those racy calls.
This patch introduced a new mutex, runtime->buffer_mutex, and applies
it to both hw_params and hw_free ioctl code paths. Along with it, the
both functions are slightly modified (the mmap_count check is moved
into the state-check block) for code simplicity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: m_can: m_can_tx_handler(): fix use after free of skb
can_put_echo_skb() will clone skb then free the skb. Move the
can_put_echo_skb() for the m_can version 3.0.x directly before the
start of the xmit in hardware, similar to the 3.1.x branch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: prevent integer overflow on 32 bit systems
On a 32 bit system, the "len * sizeof(*p)" operation can have an
integer overflow.
