Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.19.115 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: ralink: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc
Because of the possible failure of the allocation, data->domains might
be NULL pointer and will cause the dereference of the NULL pointer
later.
Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM
without releasing data manually if fails, because the comment of the
devm_kmalloc() says "Memory allocated with this function is
automatically freed on driver detach.".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power/reset: arm-versatile: Fix refcount leak in versatile_reboot_probe
of_find_matching_node_and_match() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: VMX: Prevent RSB underflow before vmenter
On VMX, there are some balanced returns between the time the guest's
SPEC_CTRL value is written, and the vmenter.
Balanced returns (matched by a preceding call) are usually ok, but it's
at least theoretically possible an NMI with a deep call stack could
empty the RSB before one of the returns.
For maximum paranoia, don't allow *any* returns (balanced or otherwise)
between the SPEC_CTRL write and the vmenter.
[ bp: Fix 32-bit build. ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/speculation: Fill RSB on vmexit for IBRS
Prevent RSB underflow/poisoning attacks with RSB. While at it, add a
bunch of comments to attempt to document the current state of tribal
knowledge about RSB attacks and what exactly is being mitigated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: rt711-sdca: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when IO error
The initial settings will be written before the codec probe function.
But, the rt711->component doesn't be assigned yet.
If IO error happened during initial settings operations, it will cause the kernel panic.
This patch changed component->dev to slave->dev to fix this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_tcp_probe_threshold.
While reading sysctl_tcp_probe_threshold, it can be changed concurrently.
Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.
