Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.12 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm stats: check for and propagate alloc_percpu failure
Check alloc_precpu()'s return value and return an error from
dm_stats_init() if it fails. Update alloc_dev() to fail if
dm_stats_init() does.
Otherwise, a NULL pointer dereference will occur in dm_stats_cleanup()
even if dm-stats isn't being actively used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_audio: don't let userspace block driver unbind
In the unbind callback for f_uac1 and f_uac2, a call to snd_card_free()
via g_audio_cleanup() will disconnect the card and then wait for all
resources to be released, which happens when the refcount falls to zero.
Since userspace can keep the refcount incremented by not closing the
relevant file descriptor, the call to unbind may block indefinitely.
This can cause a deadlock during reboot, as evidenced by the following
blocked task observed on my machine:
task:reboot state:D stack:0 pid:2827 ppid:569 flags:0x0000000c

...
The issue can also be observed by opening the card with arecord and
then stopping the process through the shell before unbinding:
# arecord -D hw:UAC2Gadget -f S32_LE -c 2 -r 48000 /dev/null
Recording WAVE '/dev/null' : Signed 32 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo
^Z[1]+ Stopped arecord -D hw:UAC2Gadget -f S32_LE -c 2 -r 48000 /dev/null
# echo gadget.0 > /sys/bus/gadget/drivers/configfs-gadget/unbind
(observe that the unbind command never finishes)
Fix the problem by using snd_card_free_when_closed() instead, which will
still disconnect the card as desired, but defer the task of freeing the
resources to the core once userspace closes its file descriptor.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix race condition in hci_cmd_sync_clear
There is a potential race condition in hci_cmd_sync_work and
hci_cmd_sync_clear, and could lead to use-after-free. For instance,
hci_cmd_sync_work is added to the 'req_workqueue' after cancel_work_sync
The entry of 'cmd_sync_work_list' may be freed in hci_cmd_sync_clear, and
causing kernel panic when it is used in 'hci_cmd_sync_work'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tee: amdtee: fix race condition in amdtee_open_session
There is a potential race condition in amdtee_open_session that may
lead to use-after-free. For instance, in amdtee_open_session() after
sess->sess_mask is set, and before setting:
sess->session_info[i] = session_info;
if amdtee_close_session() closes this same session, then 'sess' data
structure will be released, causing kernel panic when 'sess' is
accessed within amdtee_open_session().
The solution is to set the bit sess->sess_mask as the last step in
amdtee_open_session().

tcpm_send_vdm(port, USB_SID_PD, CMD_DISCOVER_IDENT, NULL, 0);
tcpm_queue_vdm(port, header, data, count);
port->vdm_state = VDM_STATE_READY;
vdm_state_machine_work(work);
<-- received discover_identity from partner
vdm_run_state_machine(port);
port->vdm_state = VDM_STATE_SEND_MESSAGE;

tcpm_pd_data_request(port, msg);
tcpm_handle_vdm_request(port, msg->payload, cnt);
tcpm_queue_vdm(port, response[0], &response[1], rlen - 1);
--> WARN_ON(port->vdm_state > VDM_STATE_DONE);
For this case, the state machine could still send out discover
identity message later if we skip current discover_identity message.
So we should handle the received message firstly and override the pending
discover_identity message without warning in this case. Then, a delayed
send_discover work will send discover_identity message again.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: ucsi: Fix NULL pointer deref in ucsi_connector_change()
When ucsi_init() fails, ucsi->connector is NULL, yet in case of
ucsi_acpi we may still get events which cause the ucs_acpi code to call
ucsi_connector_change(), which then derefs the NULL ucsi->connector
pointer.
Fix this by not setting ucsi->ntfy inside ucsi_init() until ucsi_init()
has succeeded, so that ucsi_connector_change() ignores the events
because UCSI_ENABLE_NTFY_CONNECTOR_CHANGE is not set in the ntfy mask.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: VMX: Do _all_ initialization before exposing /dev/kvm to userspace
Call kvm_init() only after _all_ setup is complete, as kvm_init() exposes
/dev/kvm to userspace and thus allows userspace to create VMs (and call
other ioctls). E.g. KVM will encounter a NULL pointer when attempting to
add a vCPU to the per-CPU loaded_vmcss_on_cpu list if userspace is able to
create a VM before vmx_init() configures said list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel-infoleak in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy()
The ioctl helper function nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy(), which exchanges a
metadata array to/from user space, may copy uninitialized buffer regions
to user space memory for read-only ioctl commands NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO
and NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO.
This can occur when the element size of the user space metadata given by
the v_size member of the argument nilfs_argv structure is larger than the
size of the metadata element (nilfs_suinfo structure or nilfs_cpinfo
structure) on the file system side.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Bad drive in topology results kernel crash
When the SAS Transport Layer support is enabled and a device exposed to
the OS by the driver fails INQUIRY commands, the driver frees up the memory
allocated for an internal HBA port data structure. However, in some places,
the reference to the freed memory is not cleared. When the firmware sends
the Device Info change event for the same device again, the freed memory is
accessed and that leads to memory corruption and OS crash.
