Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.0 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-debug: fix a possible deadlock on radix_lock
radix_lock() shouldn't be held while holding dma_hash_entry[idx].lock
otherwise, there's a possible deadlock scenario when
dma debug API is called holding rq_lock():
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
dma_free_attrs()
check_unmap() add_dma_entry() __schedule() //out
(A) rq_lock()
get_hash_bucket()
(A) dma_entry_hash
check_sync()
(A) radix_lock() (W) dma_entry_hash
dma_entry_free()
(W) radix_lock()
// CPU2's one
(W) rq_lock()
CPU1 situation can happen when it extending radix tree and
it tries to wake up kswapd via wake_all_kswapd().
CPU2 situation can happen while perf_event_task_sched_out()
(i.e. dma sync operation is called while deleting perf_event using
etm and etr tmc which are Arm Coresight hwtracing driver backends).
To remove this possible situation, call dma_entry_free() after
put_hash_bucket() in check_unmap().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Prevent tailcall infinite loop caused by freplace
There is a potential infinite loop issue that can occur when using a
combination of tail calls and freplace.
In an upcoming selftest, the attach target for entry_freplace of
tailcall_freplace.c is subprog_tc of tc_bpf2bpf.c, while the tail call in
entry_freplace leads to entry_tc. This results in an infinite loop:
entry_tc -> subprog_tc -> entry_freplace --tailcall-> entry_tc.
The problem arises because the tail_call_cnt in entry_freplace resets to
zero each time entry_freplace is executed, causing the tail call mechanism
to never terminate, eventually leading to a kernel panic.
To fix this issue, the solution is twofold:
1. Prevent updating a program extended by an freplace program to a
prog_array map.
2. Prevent extending a program that is already part of a prog_array map
with an freplace program.
This ensures that:
* If a program or its subprogram has been extended by an freplace program,
it can no longer be updated to a prog_array map.
* If a program has been added to a prog_array map, neither it nor its
subprograms can be extended by an freplace program.
Moreover, an extension program should not be tailcalled. As such, return
-EINVAL if the program has a type of BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT when adding it to a
prog_array map.
Additionally, fix a minor code style issue by replacing eight spaces with a
tab for proper formatting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to shrink read extent node in batches
We use rwlock to protect core structure data of extent tree during
its shrink, however, if there is a huge number of extent nodes in
extent tree, during shrink of extent tree, it may hold rwlock for
a very long time, which may trigger kernel hang issue.
This patch fixes to shrink read extent node in batches, so that,
critical region of the rwlock can be shrunk to avoid its extreme
long time hold.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_get_info() to avoid deadlock
A deadlock may happen since the i3c_master_register() acquires
&i3cbus->lock twice. See the log below.
Use i3cdev->desc->info instead of calling i3c_device_info() to
avoid acquiring the lock twice.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Mask ring interrupts before ring stop request
Bus cleanup path in DMA mode may trigger a RING_OP_STAT interrupt when
the ring is being stopped. Depending on timing between ring stop request
completion, interrupt handler removal and code execution this may lead
to a NULL pointer dereference in hci_dma_irq_handler() if it gets to run
after the io_data pointer is set to NULL in hci_dma_cleanup().
Prevent this my masking the ring interrupts before ring stop request.

MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Really fix PCIe port nodes for ls7a
Fix the dtc warnings:
arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:68.16-416.5: Warning (interrupt_provider): /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000: '#interrupt-cells' found, but node is not an interrupt provider

arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/loongson64g_4core_ls7a.dtb: Warning (interrupt_map): Failed prerequisite 'interrupt_provider'
And a runtime warning introduced in commit 045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on
deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells handling"):
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/of/base.c:106 of_bus_n_addr_cells+0x9c/0xe0
Missing '#address-cells' in /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000/pci_bridge@9,0
The fix is similar to commit d89a415ff8d5 ("MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Fix PCIe
port nodes for ls7a"), which has fixed the issue for ls2k (despite its
subject mentions ls7a).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: imx8m: Probe the SoC driver as platform driver
With driver_async_probe=* on kernel command line, the following trace is
produced because on i.MX8M Plus hardware because the soc-imx8m.c driver
calls of_clk_get_by_name() which returns -EPROBE_DEFER because the clock
driver is not yet probed. This was not detected during regular testing
without driver_async_probe.
Convert the SoC code to platform driver and instantiate a platform device
in its current device_initcall() to probe the platform driver. Rework
.soc_revision callback to always return valid error code and return SoC
revision via parameter. This way, if anything in the .soc_revision callback
return -EPROBE_DEFER, it gets propagated to .probe and the .probe will get
retried later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: add a sanity check for btrfs root in btrfs_search_slot()
Syzbot reports a null-ptr-deref in btrfs_search_slot().
The reproducer is using rescue=ibadroots, and the extent tree root is
corrupted thus the extent tree is NULL.
When scrub tries to search the extent tree to gather the needed extent
info, btrfs_search_slot() doesn't check if the target root is NULL or
not, resulting the null-ptr-deref.
Add sanity check for btrfs root before using it in btrfs_search_slot().
