Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.137 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/probes: fix error check in parse_btf_field()
btf_find_struct_member() might return NULL or an error via the
ERR_PTR() macro. However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks
for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the
error up the stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix loop termination condition in gss_free_in_token_pages()
The in_token->pages[] array is not NULL terminated. This results in
the following KASAN splat:
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0x04a2013400000008-0x04a201340000000f]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dpu: Add callback function pointer check before its call
In dpu_core_irq_callback_handler() callback function pointer is compared to NULL,
but then callback function is unconditionally called by this pointer.
Fix this bug by adding conditional return.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: cpu5wdt.c: Fix use-after-free bug caused by cpu5wdt_trigger
When the cpu5wdt module is removing, the origin code uses del_timer() to
de-activate the timer. If the timer handler is running, del_timer() could
not stop it and will return directly. If the port region is released by
release_region() and then the timer handler cpu5wdt_trigger() calls outb()
to write into the region that is released, the use-after-free bug will
happen.
Change del_timer() to timer_shutdown_sync() in order that the timer handler
could be finished before the port region is released.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: fix null-ptr-dereference while configuring 'power' and 'submit_queues'
Writing 'power' and 'submit_queues' concurrently will trigger kernel
panic:
Test script:
modprobe null_blk nr_devices=0
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/nullb/nullb0
while true; do echo 1 > submit_queues; echo 4 > submit_queues; done &
while true; do echo 1 > power; echo 0 > power; done
Test result:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: HCI: Remove HCI_AMP support
Since BT_HS has been remove HCI_AMP controllers no longer has any use so
remove it along with the capability of creating AMP controllers.
Since we no longer need to differentiate between AMP and Primary
controllers, as only HCI_PRIMARY is left, this also remove
hdev->dev_type altogether.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix netif state handling
mlx5e_suspend cleans resources only if netif_device_present() returns
true. However, mlx5e_resume changes the state of netif, via
mlx5e_nic_enable, only if reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED.
In the below case, the above leads to NULL-ptr Oops[1] and memory
leaks:
mlx5e_probe
_mlx5e_resume
mlx5e_attach_netdev
mlx5e_nic_enable <-- netdev not reg, not calling netif_device_attach()
register_netdev <-- failed for some reason.
ERROR_FLOW:
_mlx5e_suspend <-- netif_device_present return false, resources aren't freed :(
Hence, clean resources in this case as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: move the EST lock to struct stmmac_priv
Reinitialize the whole EST structure would also reset the mutex
lock which is embedded in the EST structure, and then trigger
the following warning. To address this, move the lock to struct
stmmac_priv. We also need to reacquire the mutex lock when doing
this initialization.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Fix potential glock use-after-free on unmount
When a DLM lockspace is released and there ares still locks in that
lockspace, DLM will unlock those locks automatically. Commit
fb6791d100d1b started exploiting this behavior to speed up filesystem
unmount: gfs2 would simply free glocks it didn't want to unlock and then
release the lockspace. This didn't take the bast callbacks for
asynchronous lock contention notifications into account, which remain
active until until a lock is unlocked or its lockspace is released.
To prevent those callbacks from accessing deallocated objects, put the
glocks that should not be unlocked on the sd_dead_glocks list, release
the lockspace, and only then free those glocks.
As an additional measure, ignore unexpected ast and bast callbacks if
the receiving glock is dead.
