Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.323 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
genirq/ipi: Fix NULL pointer deref in irq_data_get_affinity_mask()
If ipi_send_{mask|single}() is called with an invalid interrupt number, all
the local variables there will be NULL. ipi_send_verify() which is invoked
from these functions does verify its 'data' parameter, resulting in a
kernel oops in irq_data_get_affinity_mask() as the passed NULL pointer gets
dereferenced.
Add a missing NULL pointer check in ipi_send_verify()...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the SVACE static
analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack: dccp: copy entire header to stack buffer, not just basic one
Eric Dumazet says:
nf_conntrack_dccp_packet() has an unique:
dh = skb_header_pointer(skb, dataoff, sizeof(_dh), &_dh);
And nothing more is 'pulled' from the packet, depending on the content.
dh->dccph_doff, and/or dh->dccph_x ...)
So dccp_ack_seq() is happily reading stuff past the _dh buffer.
BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds in nf_conntrack_dccp_packet+0x1134/0x11c0
Read of size 4 at addr ffff000128f66e0c by task syz-executor.2/29371
[..]
Fix this by increasing the stack buffer to also include room for
the extra sequence numbers and all the known dccp packet type headers,
then pull again after the initial validation of the basic header.
While at it, mark packets invalid that lack 48bit sequence bit but
where RFC says the type MUST use them.
Compile tested only.
v2: first skb_header_pointer() now needs to adjust the size to
only pull the generic header. (Eric)
Heads-up: I intend to remove dccp conntrack support later this year.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: chipidea: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211_hwsim: drop short frames
While technically some control frames like ACK are shorter and
end after Address 1, such frames shouldn't be forwarded through
wmediumd or similar userspace, so require the full 3-address
header to avoid accessing invalid memory if shorter frames are
passed in.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc: Don't try to copy PPR for task with NULL pt_regs
powerpc sets up PF_KTHREAD and PF_IO_WORKER with a NULL pt_regs, which
from my (arguably very short) checking is not commonly done for other
archs. This is fine, except when PF_IO_WORKER's have been created and
the task does something that causes a coredump to be generated. Then we
get this crash:
Kernel attempted to read user page (160) - exploit attempt? (uid: 1000)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev/ep93xx-fb: Do not assign to struct fb_info.dev
Do not assing the Linux device to struct fb_info.dev. The call to
register_framebuffer() initializes the field to the fbdev device.
Drivers should not override its value.
Fixes a bug where the driver incorrectly decreases the hardware
device's reference counter and leaks the fbdev device.

Acctually, blocks per group is 64, but block bitmap indicate at least has
128 blocks. Now, ext4_validate_block_bitmap() didn't check invalid block's
bitmap if set.

not set".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: iscsi: Fix a race condition between login_work and the login thread
In case a malicious initiator sends some random data immediately after a
login PDU; the iscsi_target_sk_data_ready() callback will schedule the
login_work and, at the same time, the negotiation may end without clearing
the LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU flag (because no additional PDU exchanges are
required to complete the login).
The login has been completed but the login_work function will find the
LOGIN_FLAGS_INITIAL_PDU flag set and will never stop from rescheduling
itself; at this point, if the initiator drops the connection, the
iscsit_conn structure will be freed, login_work will dereference a released
socket structure and the kernel crashes.
