Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.124 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix double free of TCP_Server_Info::hostname
When shutting down the server in cifs_put_tcp_session(), cifsd thread
might be reconnecting to multiple DFS targets before it realizes it
should exit the loop, so @server->hostname can't be freed as long as
cifsd thread isn't done. Otherwise the following can happen:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Clear port select structure when fail to create
Clear the port select structure on error so no stale values left after
definers are destroyed. That's because the mlx5_lag_destroy_definers()
always try to destroy all lag definers in the tt_map, so in the flow
below lag definers get double-destroyed and cause kernel crash:
mlx5_lag_port_sel_create()
mlx5_lag_create_definers()
mlx5_lag_create_definer() <- Failed on tt 1
mlx5_lag_destroy_definers() <- definers[tt=0] gets destroyed
mlx5_lag_port_sel_create()
mlx5_lag_create_definers()
mlx5_lag_create_definer() <- Failed on tt 0
mlx5_lag_destroy_definers() <- definers[tt=0] gets double-destroyed

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fec: handle page_pool_dev_alloc_pages error
The fec_enet_update_cbd function calls page_pool_dev_alloc_pages but did
not handle the case when it returned NULL. There was a WARN_ON(!new_page)
but it would still proceed to use the NULL pointer and then crash.
This case does seem somewhat rare but when the system is under memory
pressure it can happen. One case where I can duplicate this with some
frequency is when writing over a smbd share to a SATA HDD attached to an
imx6q.
Setting /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes to higher values also seems to solve
the problem for my test case. But it still seems wrong that the fec driver
ignores the memory allocation error and can crash.
This commit handles the allocation error by dropping the current packet.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gtp: Destroy device along with udp socket's netns dismantle.
gtp_newlink() links the device to a list in dev_net(dev) instead of
src_net, where a udp tunnel socket is created.
Even when src_net is removed, the device stays alive on dev_net(dev).
Then, removing src_net triggers the splat below. [0]
In this example, gtp0 is created in ns2, and the udp socket is created
in ns1.
ip netns add ns1
ip netns add ns2
ip -n ns1 link add netns ns2 name gtp0 type gtp role sgsn
ip netns del ns1
Let's link the device to the socket's netns instead.
Now, gtp_net_exit_batch_rtnl() needs another netdev iteration to remove
all gtp devices in the netns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filemap: avoid truncating 64-bit offset to 32 bits
On 32-bit kernels, folio_seek_hole_data() was inadvertently truncating a
64-bit value to 32 bits, leading to a possible infinite loop when writing
to an xfs filesystem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: prevent null-ptr-deref in vsock_*[has_data|has_space]
Recent reports have shown how we sometimes call vsock_*_has_data()
when a vsock socket has been de-assigned from a transport (see attached
links), but we shouldn't.
Previous commits should have solved the real problems, but we may have
more in the future, so to avoid null-ptr-deref, we can return 0
(no space, no data available) but with a warning.
This way the code should continue to run in a nearly consistent state
and have a warning that allows us to debug future problems.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iomap: avoid avoid truncating 64-bit offset to 32 bits
on 32-bit kernels, iomap_write_delalloc_scan() was inadvertently using a
32-bit position due to folio_next_index() returning an unsigned long.
This could lead to an infinite loop when writing to an xfs filesystem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pmdomain: imx8mp-blk-ctrl: add missing loop break condition
Currently imx8mp_blk_ctrl_remove() will continue the for loop
until an out-of-bounds exception occurs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm thin: make get_first_thin use rcu-safe list first function
The documentation in rculist.h explains the absence of list_empty_rcu()
and cautions programmers against relying on a list_empty() ->
list_first() sequence in RCU safe code. This is because each of these
functions performs its own READ_ONCE() of the list head. This can lead
to a situation where the list_empty() sees a valid list entry, but the
subsequent list_first() sees a different view of list head state after a
modification.
In the case of dm-thin, this author had a production box crash from a GP
fault in the process_deferred_bios path. This function saw a valid list
head in get_first_thin() but when it subsequently dereferenced that and
turned it into a thin_c, it got the inside of the struct pool, since the
list was now empty and referring to itself. The kernel on which this
occurred printed both a warning about a refcount_t being saturated, and
a UBSAN error for an out-of-bounds cpuid access in the queued spinlock,
prior to the fault itself. When the resulting kdump was examined, it
was possible to see another thread patiently waiting in thin_dtr's
synchronize_rcu.
The thin_dtr call managed to pull the thin_c out of the active thins
list (and have it be the last entry in the active_thins list) at just
the wrong moment which lead to this crash.
Fortunately, the fix here is straight forward. Switch get_first_thin()
function to use list_first_or_null_rcu() which performs just a single
READ_ONCE() and returns NULL if the list is already empty.
This was run against the devicemapper test suite's thin-provisioning
suites for delete and suspend and no regressions were observed.
