Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.137 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Guard stack limits against 32bit overflow
This patch promotes the arithmetic around checking stack bounds to be
done in the 64-bit domain, instead of the current 32bit. The arithmetic
implies adding together a 64-bit register with a int offset. The
register was checked to be below 1<<29 when it was variable, but not
when it was fixed. The offset either comes from an instruction (in which
case it is 16 bit), from another register (in which case the caller
checked it to be below 1<<29 [1]), or from the size of an argument to a
kfunc (in which case it can be a u32 [2]). Between the register being
inconsistently checked to be below 1<<29, and the offset being up to an
u32, it appears that we were open to overflowing the `int`s which were
currently used for arithmetic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/dm-raid: don't call md_reap_sync_thread() directly
Currently md_reap_sync_thread() is called from raid_message() directly
without holding 'reconfig_mutex', this is definitely unsafe because
md_reap_sync_thread() can change many fields that is protected by
'reconfig_mutex'.
However, hold 'reconfig_mutex' here is still problematic because this
will cause deadlock, for example, commit 130443d60b1b ("md: refactor
idle/frozen_sync_thread() to fix deadlock").
Fix this problem by using stop_sync_thread() to unregister sync_thread,
like md/raid did.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Prevent crash when disable stream
[Why]
Disabling stream encoder invokes a function that no longer exists.
[How]
Check if the function declaration is NULL in disable stream encoder.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix hang/underflow when transitioning to ODM4:1
[Why]
Under some circumstances, disabling an OPTC and attempting to reclaim
its OPP(s) for a different OPTC could cause a hang/underflow due to OPPs
not being properly disconnected from the disabled OPTC.
[How]
Ensure that all OPPs are unassigned from an OPTC when it gets disabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-raid: really frozen sync_thread during suspend
1) commit f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread") remove
MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN from __md_stop_writes() and doesn't realize that
dm-raid relies on __md_stop_writes() to frozen sync_thread
indirectly. Fix this problem by adding MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN in
md_stop_writes(), and since stop_sync_thread() is only used for
dm-raid in this case, also move stop_sync_thread() to
md_stop_writes().
2) The flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN doesn't mean that sync thread is frozen,
it only prevent new sync_thread to start, and it can't stop the
running sync thread; In order to frozen sync_thread, after seting the
flag, stop_sync_thread() should be used.
3) The flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN doesn't mean that writes are stopped, use
it as condition for md_stop_writes() in raid_postsuspend() doesn't
look correct. Consider that reentrant stop_sync_thread() do nothing,
always call md_stop_writes() in raid_postsuspend().
4) raid_message can set/clear the flag MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN at anytime,
and if MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is cleared while the array is suspended,
new sync_thread can start unexpected. Fix this by disallow
raid_message() to change sync_thread status during suspend.
Note that after commit f52f5c71f3d4 ("md: fix stopping sync thread"), the
test shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh start to hang in stop_sync_thread(),
and with previous fixes, the test won't hang there anymore, however, the
test will still fail and complain that ext4 is corrupted. And with this
patch, the test won't hang due to stop_sync_thread() or fail due to ext4
is corrupted anymore. However, there is still a deadlock related to
dm-raid456 that will be fixed in following patches.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix deadlock with fiemap and extent locking
While working on the patchset to remove extent locking I got a lockdep
splat with fiemap and pagefaulting with my new extent lock replacement
lock.
This deadlock exists with our normal code, we just don't have lockdep
annotations with the extent locking so we've never noticed it.
Since we're copying the fiemap extent to user space on every iteration
we have the chance of pagefaulting. Because we hold the extent lock for
the entire range we could mkwrite into a range in the file that we have
mmap'ed. This would deadlock with the following stack trace
[<0>] lock_extent+0x28d/0x2f0
[<0>] btrfs_page_mkwrite+0x273/0x8a0

[<0>] fiemap_fill_next_extent+0xc8/0x120
[<0>] emit_fiemap_extent+0x4d/0xa0
[<0>] extent_fiemap+0x7f8/0xad0
[<0>] btrfs_fiemap+0x49/0x80
[<0>] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x3e1/0xb50
[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x94/0x1a0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76
I wrote an fstest to reproduce this deadlock without my replacement lock
and verified that the deadlock exists with our existing locking.
To fix this simply don't take the extent lock for the entire duration of
the fiemap. This is safe in general because we keep track of where we
are when we're searching the tree, so if an ordered extent updates in
the middle of our fiemap call we'll still emit the correct extents
because we know what offset we were on before.
The only place we maintain the lock is searching delalloc. Since the
delalloc stuff can change during writeback we want to lock the extent
range so we have a consistent view of delalloc at the time we're
checking to see if we need to set the delalloc flag.
With this patch applied we no longer deadlock with my testcase.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: create sysfs nodes as driver's default device attribute group
The DisplayPort driver's sysfs nodes may be present to the userspace before
typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe. This means that
a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by deferencing dp->hpd in
hpd_show or dp->lock in pin_assignment_show, as dev_get_drvdata() returns
NULL in those cases.
Remove manual sysfs node creation in favor of adding attribute group as
default for devices bound to the driver. The ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro is
not used here otherwise the path to the sysfs nodes is no longer compliant
with the ABI.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: dw-edma: eDMA: Add sync read before starting the DMA transfer in remote setup
The Linked list element and pointer are not stored in the same memory as
the eDMA controller register. If the doorbell register is toggled before
the full write of the linked list a race condition error will occur.
In remote setup we can only use a readl to the memory to assure the full
write has occurred.

Use the release_domain mechanism to fix it. The scalable mode context
entry which is not part of release domain should be cleared in
release_device().
