Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.19.321 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix missing key size check for L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ
This adds a check for encryption key size upon receiving
L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ which is required by L2CAP/LE/CFC/BV-15-C which
expects L2CAP_CR_LE_BAD_KEY_SIZE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: cx23885: Add missing unmap in snd_cx23885_hw_params()
In error path, add cx23885_alsa_dma_unmap() to release the
resource acquired by cx23885_alsa_dma_map().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: check return value of con2fb_acquire_newinfo()
If fbcon_open() fails when called from con2fb_acquire_newinfo() then
info->fbcon_par pointer remains NULL which is later dereferenced.
Add check for return value of the function con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to
avoid it.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore: ram_core: fix incorrect success return when vmap() fails
In persistent_ram_vmap(), vmap() may return NULL on failure.
If offset is non-zero, adding offset_in_page(start) causes the function
to return a non-NULL pointer even though the mapping failed.
persistent_ram_buffer_map() therefore incorrectly returns success.
Subsequent access to prz->buffer may dereference an invalid address
and cause crashes.
Add proper NULL checking for vmap() failures.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: validate length in dlm_search_rsb_tree
The len parameter in dlm_dump_rsb_name() is not validated and comes
from network messages. When it exceeds DLM_RESNAME_MAXLEN, it can
cause out-of-bounds write in dlm_search_rsb_tree().
Add length validation to prevent potential buffer overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: mixer: oss: Add card disconnect checkpoints
ALSA OSS mixer layer calls the kcontrol ops rather individually, and
pending calls might be not always caught at disconnecting the device.
For avoiding the potential UAF scenarios, add sanity checks of the
card disconnection at each entry point of OSS mixer accesses. The
rwsem is taken just before that check, hence the rest context should
be covered by that properly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: nlink overflow in jfs_rename
If nlink is maximal for a directory (-1) and inside that directory you
perform a rename for some child directory (not moving from the parent),
then the nlink of the first directory is first incremented and later
decremented. Normally this is fine, but when nlink = -1 this causes a
wrap around to 0, and then drop_nlink issues a warning.
After applying the patch syzbot no longer issues any warnings. I also
ran some basic fs tests to look for any regressions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rpmsg: core: fix race in driver_override_show() and use core helper
The driver_override_show function reads the driver_override string
without holding the device_lock. However, the store function modifies
and frees the string while holding the device_lock. This creates a race
condition where the string can be freed by the store function while
being read by the show function, leading to a use-after-free.
To fix this, replace the rpmsg_string_attr macro with explicit show and
store functions. The new driver_override_store uses the standard
driver_set_override helper. Since the introduction of
driver_set_override, the comments in include/linux/rpmsg.h have stated
that this helper must be used to set or clear driver_override, but the
implementation was not updated until now.
Because driver_set_override modifies and frees the string while holding
the device_lock, the new driver_override_show now correctly holds the
device_lock during the read operation to prevent the race.
Additionally, since rpmsg_string_attr has only ever been used for
driver_override, removing the macro simplifies the code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memory: mtk-smi: fix device leak on larb probe
Make sure to drop the reference taken when looking up the SMI device
during larb probe on late probe failure (e.g. probe deferral) and on
driver unbind.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wl1251: validate packet IDs before indexing tx_frames
wl1251_tx_packet_cb() uses the firmware completion ID directly to index
the fixed 16-entry wl->tx_frames[] array. The ID is a raw u8 from the
completion block, and the callback does not currently verify that it
fits the array before dereferencing it.
Reject completion IDs that fall outside wl->tx_frames[] and keep the
existing NULL check in the same guard. This keeps the fix local to the
trust boundary and avoids touching the rest of the completion flow.
