Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.12 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK in imprecise unwinding stack mode
When CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is unset, the stack unwinding function
walk_stackframe randomly reads the stack and then, when KASAN is enabled,
it can lead to the following backtrace:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: fix struct pid leaks in OOB support
syzbot reported struct pid leak [1].
Issue is that queue_oob() calls maybe_add_creds() which potentially
holds a reference on a pid.
But skb->destructor is not set (either directly or by calling
unix_scm_to_skb())
This means that subsequent kfree_skb() or consume_skb() would leak
this reference.
In this fix, I chose to fully support scm even for the OOB message.

When unregistering a net device, unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
sets the device's reg_state to NETREG_UNREGISTERING, calls notifiers
with NETDEV_UNREGISTER, and adds the device to the todo list.
Later on, devices in the todo list are processed by netdev_run_todo().
netdev_run_todo() waits devices' reference count become 1 while
rebdoadcasting NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification.
When cfusbl_device_notify() is called with NETDEV_UNREGISTER multiple
times, the parent device might be freed. This could cause UAF.
Processing NETDEV_UNREGISTER multiple times also causes inbalance of
reference count for the module.
This patch fixes the issue by accepting only first NETDEV_UNREGISTER
notification.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: s390: Fix use-after-free of PCI resources with per-function hotplug
On s390 PCI functions may be hotplugged individually even when they
belong to a multi-function device. In particular on an SR-IOV device VFs
may be removed and later re-added.
In commit a50297cf8235 ("s390/pci: separate zbus creation from
scanning") it was missed however that struct pci_bus and struct
zpci_bus's resource list retained a reference to the PCI functions MMIO
resources even though those resources are released and freed on
hot-unplug. These stale resources may subsequently be claimed when the
PCI function re-appears resulting in use-after-free.
One idea of fixing this use-after-free in s390 specific code that was
investigated was to simply keep resources around from the moment a PCI
function first appeared until the whole virtual PCI bus created for
a multi-function device disappears. The problem with this however is
that due to the requirement of artificial MMIO addreesses (address
cookies) extra logic is then needed to keep the address cookies
compatible on re-plug. At the same time the MMIO resources semantically
belong to the PCI function so tying their lifecycle to the function
seems more logical.
Instead a simpler approach is to remove the resources of an individually
hot-unplugged PCI function from the PCI bus's resource list while
keeping the resources of other PCI functions on the PCI bus untouched.
This is done by introducing pci_bus_remove_resource() to remove an
individual resource. Similarly the resource also needs to be removed
from the struct zpci_bus's resource list. It turns out however, that
there is really no need to add the MMIO resources to the struct
zpci_bus's resource list at all and instead we can simply use the
zpci_bar_struct's resource pointer directly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix NULL pointer access in mpt3sas_transport_port_add()
Port is allocated by sas_port_alloc_num() and rphy is allocated by either
sas_end_device_alloc() or sas_expander_alloc(), all of which may return
NULL. So we need to check the rphy to avoid possible NULL pointer access.
If sas_rphy_add() returned with failure, rphy is set to NULL. We would
access the rphy in the following lines which would also result NULL pointer
access.
