Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.19.316 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memory bounds
Presently ima_get_kexec_buffer() doesn't check if the previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer lies outside the addressable memory range. This can result
in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the
ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel.
The panic is usually of the form below:
$ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G'

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: fix incorrect dev_tracker usage
While investigating a separate rose issue [1], and enabling
CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER=y, Bernard reported an orthogonal ax25 issue [2]
An ax25_dev can be used by one (or many) struct ax25_cb.
We thus need different dev_tracker, one per struct ax25_cb.
After this patch is applied, we are able to focus on rose.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: When HCI work queue is drained, only queue chained work
The HCI command, event, and data packet processing workqueue is drained
to avoid deadlock in commit
76727c02c1e1 ("Bluetooth: Call drain_workqueue() before resetting state").
There is another delayed work, which will queue command to this drained
workqueue. Which results in the following error report:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: revisit driver bind/unbind and callbacks
In the SoundWire probe, we store a pointer from the driver ops into
the 'slave' structure. This can lead to kernel oopses when unbinding
codec drivers, e.g. with the following sequence to remove machine
driver and codec driver.
/sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_sof_sdw
/sbin/modprobe -r snd_soc_rt711
The full details can be found in the BugLink below, for reference the
two following examples show different cases of driver ops/callbacks
being invoked after the driver .remove().

This was not detected earlier in Intel tests since the tests first
remove the parent PCI device and shut down the bus. The sequence
above is a corner case which keeps the bus operational but without a
driver bound.
While trying to solve this kernel oopses, it became clear that the
existing SoundWire bus does not deal well with the unbind case.
Commit 528be501b7d4a ("soundwire: sdw_slave: add probe_complete structure and new fields")
added a 'probed' status variable and a 'probe_complete'
struct completion. This status is however not reset on remove and
likewise the 'probe complete' is not re-initialized, so the
bind/unbind/bind test cases would fail. The timeout used before the
'update_status' callback was also a bad idea in hindsight, there
should really be no timing assumption as to if and when a driver is
bound to a device.
An initial draft was based on device_lock() and device_unlock() was
tested. This proved too complicated, with deadlocks created during the
suspend-resume sequences, which also use the same device_lock/unlock()
as the bind/unbind sequences. On a CometLake device, a bad DSDT/BIOS
caused spurious resumes and the use of device_lock() caused hangs
during suspend. After multiple weeks or testing and painful
reverse-engineering of deadlocks on different devices, we looked for
alternatives that did not interfere with the device core.
A bus notifier was used successfully to keep track of DRIVER_BOUND and
DRIVER_UNBIND events. This solved the bind-unbind-bind case in tests,
but it can still be defeated with a theoretical corner case where the
memory is freed by a .remove while the callback is in use. The
notifier only helps make sure the driver callbacks are valid, but not
that the memory allocated in probe remains valid while the callbacks
are invoked.
This patch suggests the introduction of a new 'sdw_dev_lock' mutex
protecting probe/remove and all driver callbacks. Since this mutex is
'local' to SoundWire only, it does not interfere with existing locks
and does not create deadlocks. In addition, this patch removes the
'probe_complete' completion, instead we directly invoke the
'update_status' from the probe routine. That removes any sort of
timing dependency and a much better support for the device/driver
model, the driver could be bound before the bus started, or eons after
the bus started and the hardware would be properly initialized in all
cases.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: dwc: Deallocate EPC memory on dw_pcie_ep_init() errors
If dw_pcie_ep_init() fails to perform any action after the EPC memory is
initialized and the MSI memory region is allocated, the latter parts won't
be undone thus causing a memory leak. Add a cleanup-on-error path to fix
these leaks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/qedr: Fix potential memory leak in __qedr_alloc_mr()
__qedr_alloc_mr() allocates a memory chunk for "mr->info.pbl_table" with
init_mr_info(). When rdma_alloc_tid() and rdma_register_tid() fail, "mr"
is released while "mr->info.pbl_table" is not released, which will lead
to a memory leak.
We should release the "mr->info.pbl_table" with qedr_free_pbl() when error
occurs to fix the memory leak.

RDMA/srpt: Fix a use-after-free
Change the LIO port members inside struct srpt_port from regular members
into pointers. Allocate the LIO port data structures from inside
srpt_make_tport() and free these from inside srpt_make_tport(). Keep
struct srpt_device as long as either an RDMA port or a LIO target port is
associated with it. This patch decouples the lifetime of struct srpt_port
(controlled by the RDMA core) and struct srpt_port_id (controlled by LIO).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: n_gsm: fix deadlock and link starvation in outgoing data path
The current implementation queues up new control and user packets as needed
and processes this queue down to the ldisc in the same code path.
That means that the upper and the lower layer are hard coupled in the code.
Due to this deadlocks can happen as seen below while transmitting data,
especially during ldisc congestion. Furthermore, the data channels starve
the control channel on high transmission load on the ldisc.
Introduce an additional control channel data queue to prevent timeouts and
link hangups during ldisc congestion. This is being processed before the
user channel data queue in gsm_data_kick(), i.e. with the highest priority.
Put the queue to ldisc data path into a workqueue and trigger it whenever
new data has been put into the transmission queue. Change
gsm_dlci_data_sweep() accordingly to fill up the transmission queue until
TX_THRESH_HI. This solves the locking issue, keeps latency low and provides
good performance on high data load.
Note that now all packets from a DLCI are removed from the internal queue
if the associated DLCI was closed. This ensures that no data is sent by the
introduced write task to an already closed DLCI.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: imx_rproc: Fix refcount leak in imx_rproc_addr_init
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not needed anymore.
This function has two paths missing of_node_put().
