Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.59 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: wl128x: Fix atomicity violation in fmc_send_cmd()
Atomicity violation occurs when the fmc_send_cmd() function is executed
simultaneously with the modification of the fmdev->resp_skb value.
Consider a scenario where, after passing the validity check within the
function, a non-null fmdev->resp_skb variable is assigned a null value.
This results in an invalid fmdev->resp_skb variable passing the validity
check. As seen in the later part of the function, skb = fmdev->resp_skb;
when the invalid fmdev->resp_skb passes the check, a null pointer
dereference error may occur at line 478, evt_hdr = (void *)skb->data;
To address this issue, it is recommended to include the validity check of
fmdev->resp_skb within the locked section of the function. This
modification ensures that the value of fmdev->resp_skb does not change
during the validation process, thereby maintaining its validity.
This possible bug is found by an experimental static analysis tool
developed by our team. This tool analyzes the locking APIs
to extract function pairs that can be concurrently executed, and then
analyzes the instructions in the paired functions to identify possible
concurrency bugs including data races and atomicity violations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: Fix dtl_access_lock to be a rw_semaphore
The dtl_access_lock needs to be a rw_sempahore, a sleeping lock, because
the code calls kmalloc() while holding it, which can sleep:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Mark raw_tp arguments with PTR_MAYBE_NULL
Arguments to a raw tracepoint are tagged as trusted, which carries the
semantics that the pointer will be non-NULL. However, in certain cases,
a raw tracepoint argument may end up being NULL. More context about this
issue is available in [0].
Thus, there is a discrepancy between the reality, that raw_tp arguments
can actually be NULL, and the verifier's knowledge, that they are never
NULL, causing explicit NULL checks to be deleted, and accesses to such
pointers potentially crashing the kernel.
To fix this, mark raw_tp arguments as PTR_MAYBE_NULL, and then special
case the dereference and pointer arithmetic to permit it, and allow
passing them into helpers/kfuncs; these exceptions are made for raw_tp
programs only. Ensure that we don't do this when ref_obj_id > 0, as in
that case this is an acquired object and doesn't need such adjustment.
The reason we do mask_raw_tp_trusted_reg logic is because other will
recheck in places whether the register is a trusted_reg, and then
consider our register as untrusted when detecting the presence of the
PTR_MAYBE_NULL flag.
To allow safe dereference, we enable PROBE_MEM marking when we see loads
into trusted pointers with PTR_MAYBE_NULL.
While trusted raw_tp arguments can also be passed into helpers or kfuncs
where such broken assumption may cause issues, a future patch set will
tackle their case separately, as PTR_TO_BTF_ID (without PTR_TRUSTED) can
already be passed into helpers and causes similar problems. Thus, they
are left alone for now.
It is possible that these checks also permit passing non-raw_tp args
that are trusted PTR_TO_BTF_ID with null marking. In such a case,
allowing dereference when pointer is NULL expands allowed behavior, so
won't regress existing programs, and the case of passing these into
helpers is the same as above and will be dealt with later.
Also update the failure case in tp_btf_nullable selftest to capture the
new behavior, as the verifier will no longer cause an error when
directly dereference a raw tracepoint argument marked as __nullable.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix looping of queued SG entries
The dwc3_request->num_queued_sgs is decremented on completion. If a
partially completed request is handled, then the
dwc3_request->num_queued_sgs no longer reflects the total number of
num_queued_sgs (it would be cleared).
Correctly check the number of request SG entries remained to be prepare
and queued. Failure to do this may cause null pointer dereference when
accessing non-existent SG entry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix recursive lock when verdict program return SK_PASS
When the stream_verdict program returns SK_PASS, it places the received skb
into its own receive queue, but a recursive lock eventually occurs, leading
to an operating system deadlock. This issue has been present since v6.9.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mfd: intel_soc_pmic_bxtwc: Use IRQ domain for USB Type-C device
While design wise the idea of converting the driver to use
the hierarchy of the IRQ chips is correct, the implementation
has (inherited) flaws. This was unveiled when platform_get_irq()
had started WARN() on IRQ 0 that is supposed to be a Linux
IRQ number (also known as vIRQ).
Rework the driver to respect IRQ domain when creating each MFD
device separately, as the domain is not the same for all of them.

The root cause is: on a fuzzed image, blkaddr in nat entry may be
corrupted, then it will cause system panic when using it in
f2fs_invalidate_blocks(), to avoid this, let's add sanity check on
nat blkaddr in truncate_node().

brd: defer automatic disk creation until module initialization succeeds
My colleague Wupeng found the following problems during fault injection:

loop_init() is calling loop_add() after __register_blkdev() succeeds and
is ignoring disk_add() failure from loop_add(), for loop_add() failure
is not fatal and successfully created disks are already visible to
bdev_open().
brd_init() is currently calling brd_alloc() before __register_blkdev()
succeeds and is releasing successfully created disks when brd_init()
returns an error. This can cause UAF for the latter two case:
case 1:
T1:
modprobe brd
brd_init
brd_alloc(0) // success
add_disk
disk_scan_partitions
bdev_file_open_by_dev // alloc file
fput // won't free until back to userspace
brd_alloc(1) // failed since mem alloc error inject
// error path for modprobe will release code segment
// back to userspace
__fput
blkdev_release
bdev_release
blkdev_put_whole
bdev->bd_disk->fops->release // fops is freed now, UAF!
case 2:
T1: T2:
modprobe brd
brd_init
brd_alloc(0) // success
open(/dev/ram0)
brd_alloc(1) // fail
// error path for modprobe
close(/dev/ram0)
...
/* UAF! */
bdev->bd_disk->fops->release
Fix this problem by following what loop_init() does. Besides,
reintroduce brd_devices_mutex to help serialize modifications to
brd_list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: epf-mhi: Avoid NULL dereference if DT lacks 'mmio'
If platform_get_resource_byname() fails and returns NULL because DT lacks
an 'mmio' property for the MHI endpoint, dereferencing res->start will
cause a NULL pointer access. Add a check to prevent it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: pcrypt - Call crypto layer directly when padata_do_parallel() return -EBUSY
Since commit 8f4f68e788c3 ("crypto: pcrypt - Fix hungtask for
PADATA_RESET"), the pcrypt encryption and decryption operations return
-EAGAIN when the CPU goes online or offline. In alg_test(), a WARN is
generated when pcrypt_aead_decrypt() or pcrypt_aead_encrypt() returns
-EAGAIN, the unnecessary panic will occur when panic_on_warn set 1.
Fix this issue by calling crypto layer directly without parallelization
in that case.
