Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.7.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Fix an illegal memory access
In the kfd_wait_on_events() function, the kfd_event_waiter structure is
allocated by alloc_event_waiters(), but the event field of the waiter
structure is not initialized; When copy_from_user() fails in the
kfd_wait_on_events() function, it will enter exception handling to
release the previously allocated memory of the waiter structure;
Due to the event field of the waiters structure being accessed
in the free_waiters() function, this results in illegal memory access
and system crash, here is the crash log:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: use the workqueue to destroy unaccepted sockets
Christoph reported a UaF at token lookup time after having
refactored the passive socket initialization part:

We need to properly clean-up all the paired MPTCP-level
resources and be sure to release the msk last, even when
the unaccepted subflow is destroyed by the TCP internals
via inet_child_forget().
We can re-use the existing MPTCP_WORK_CLOSE_SUBFLOW infra,
explicitly checking that for the critical scenario: the
closed subflow is the MPC one, the msk is not accepted and
eventually going through full cleanup.
With such change, __mptcp_destroy_sock() is always called
on msk sockets, even on accepted ones. We don't need anymore
to transiently drop one sk reference at msk clone time.
Please note this commit depends on the parent one:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix ttm_bo calltrace warning in psp_hw_fini
The call trace occurs when the amdgpu is removed after
the mode1 reset. During mode1 reset, from suspend to resume,
there is no need to reinitialize the ta firmware buffer
which caused the bo pin_count increase redundantly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix invalid address access in lookup_rec() when index is 0
KASAN reported follow problem:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in lookup_rec
Read of size 8 at addr ffff000199270ff0 by task modprobe
CPU: 2 Comm: modprobe
Call trace:
kasan_report
__asan_load8
lookup_rec
ftrace_location
arch_check_ftrace_location
check_kprobe_address_safe
register_kprobe
When checking pg->records[pg->index - 1].ip in lookup_rec(), it can get a
pg which is newly added to ftrace_pages_start in ftrace_process_locs().
Before the first pg->index++, index is 0 and accessing pg->records[-1].ip
will cause this problem.
Don't check the ip when pg->index is 0.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix steering rules cleanup
vport's mc, uc and multicast rules are not deleted in teardown path when
EEH happens. Since the vport's promisc settings(uc, mc and all) in
firmware are reset after EEH, mlx5 driver will try to delete the above
rules in the initialization path. This cause kernel crash because these
software rules are no longer valid.
Fix by nullifying these rules right after delete to avoid accessing any dangling
pointers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: smsc95xx: Limit packet length to skb->len
Packet length retrieved from descriptor may be larger than
the actual socket buffer length. In such case the cloned
skb passed up the network stack will leak kernel memory contents.
