Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.19.115 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbnet: Run unregister_netdev() before unbind() again
Commit 2c9d6c2b871d ("usbnet: run unbind() before unregister_netdev()")
sought to fix a use-after-free on disconnect of USB Ethernet adapters.
It turns out that a different fix is necessary to address the issue:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/18b3541e5372bc9b9fc733d422f4e698c089077c.1650177997.git.lukas@wunner.de/
So the commit was not necessary.
The commit made binding and unbinding of USB Ethernet asymmetrical:
Before, usbnet_probe() first invoked the ->bind() callback and then
register_netdev(). usbnet_disconnect() mirrored that by first invoking
unregister_netdev() and then ->unbind().
Since the commit, the order in usbnet_disconnect() is reversed and no
longer mirrors usbnet_probe().
One consequence is that a PHY disconnected (and stopped) in ->unbind()
is afterwards stopped once more by unregister_netdev() as it closes the
netdev before unregistering. That necessitates a contortion in ->stop()
because the PHY may only be stopped if it hasn't already been
disconnected.
Reverting the commit allows making the call to phy_stop() unconditional
in ->stop().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath9k_htc: fix potential out of bounds access with invalid rxstatus->rs_keyix
The "rxstatus->rs_keyix" eventually gets passed to test_bit() so we need to
ensure that it is within the bitmap.
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/common.c:46 ath9k_cmn_rx_accept()
error: passing untrusted data 'rx_stats->rs_keyix' to 'test_bit()'

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Inhibit aborts if external loopback plug is inserted
After running a short external loopback test, when the external loopback is
removed and a normal cable inserted that is directly connected to a target
device, the system oops in the llpfc_set_rrq_active() routine.
When the loopback was inserted an FLOGI was transmit. As we're looped back,
we receive the FLOGI request. The FLOGI is ABTS'd as we recognize the same
wppn thus understand it's a loopback. However, as the ABTS sends address
information the port is not set to (fffffe), the ABTS is dropped on the
wire. A short 1 frame loopback test is run and completes before the ABTS
times out. The looback is unplugged and the new cable plugged in, and the
an FLOGI to the new device occurs and completes. Due to a mixup in ref
counting the completion of the new FLOGI releases the fabric ndlp. Then the
original ABTS completes and references the released ndlp generating the
oops.
Correct by no-op'ing the ABTS when in loopback mode (it will be dropped
anyway). Added a flag to track the mode to recognize when it should be
no-op'd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: elan: Fix potential double free in elan_input_configured
'input' is a managed resource allocated with devm_input_allocate_device(),
so there is no need to call input_free_device() explicitly or
there will be a double free.
According to the doc of devm_input_allocate_device():
* Managed input devices do not need to be explicitly unregistered or
* freed as it will be done automatically when owner device unbinds from
* its driver (or binding fails).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/mdp5: Return error code in mdp5_pipe_release when deadlock is detected
mdp5_get_global_state runs the risk of hitting a -EDEADLK when acquiring
the modeset lock, but currently mdp5_pipe_release doesn't check for if
an error is returned. Because of this, there is a possibility of
mdp5_pipe_release hitting a NULL dereference error.
To avoid this, let's have mdp5_pipe_release check if
mdp5_get_global_state returns an error and propogate that error.
Changes since v1:
- Separated declaration and initialization of *new_state to avoid
compiler warning
- Fixed some spelling mistakes in commit message
Changes since v2:
- Return 0 in case where hwpipe is NULL as this is considered normal
behavior
- Added 2nd patch in series to fix a similar NULL dereference issue in
mdp5_mixer_release

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/rockchip: vop: fix possible null-ptr-deref in vop_bind()
It will cause null-ptr-deref in resource_size(), if platform_get_resource()
returns NULL, move calling resource_size() after devm_ioremap_resource() that
will check 'res' to avoid null-ptr-deref.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: fix a NULL pointer dereference in nvme_alloc_admin_tags
In nvme_alloc_admin_tags, the admin_q can be set to an error (typically
-ENOMEM) if the blk_mq_init_queue call fails to set up the queue, which
is checked immediately after the call. However, when we return the error
message up the stack, to nvme_reset_work the error takes us to
nvme_remove_dead_ctrl()
nvme_dev_disable()
nvme_suspend_queue(&dev->queues[0]).
Here, we only check that the admin_q is non-NULL, rather than not
an error or NULL, and begin quiescing a queue that never existed, leading
to bad / NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: rt5645: Fix errorenous cleanup order
There is a logic error when removing rt5645 device as the function
rt5645_i2c_remove() first cancel the &rt5645->jack_detect_work and
delete the &rt5645->btn_check_timer latter. However, since the timer
handler rt5645_btn_check_callback() will re-queue the jack_detect_work,
this cleanup order is buggy.
That is, once the del_timer_sync in rt5645_i2c_remove is concurrently
run with the rt5645_btn_check_callback, the canceled jack_detect_work
will be rescheduled again, leading to possible use-after-free.
This patch fix the issue by placing the del_timer_sync function before
the cancel_delayed_work_sync.
