Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.52 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qedi: Fix a possible memory leak in qedi_alloc_and_init_sb()
Hook "qedi_ops->common->sb_init = qed_sb_init" does not release the DMA
memory sb_virt when it fails. Add dma_free_coherent() to free it. This
is the same way as qedr_alloc_mem_sb() and qede_alloc_mem_sb().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: release nexthop on device removal
The CI is hitting some aperiodic hangup at device removal time in the
pmtu.sh self-test:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth_A-R1 to become free. Usage count = 6

While the first suspect is the dst_cache, explicitly tracking the dst
owing the last device reference via probes proved such dst is held by
the nexthop in the originating fib6_info.
Similar to commit f5b51fe804ec ("ipv6: route: purge exception on
removal"), we need to explicitly release the originating fib info when
disconnecting a to-be-removed device from a live ipv6 dst: move the
fib6_info cleanup into ip6_dst_ifdown().
Tested running:
./pmtu.sh cleanup_ipv6_exception
in a tight loop for more than 400 iterations with no spat, running an
unpatched kernel I observed a splat every ~10 iterations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: caam - Fix the pointer passed to caam_qi_shutdown()
The type of the last parameter given to devm_add_action_or_reset() is
"struct caam_drv_private *", but in caam_qi_shutdown(), it is casted to
"struct device *".
Pass the correct parameter to devm_add_action_or_reset() so that the
resources are released as expected.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: Initialize cfid->tcon before performing network ops
Avoid leaking a tcon ref when a lease break races with opening the
cached directory. Processing the leak break might take a reference to
the tcon in cached_dir_lease_break() and then fail to release the ref in
cached_dir_offload_close, since cfid->tcon is still NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: check if __rtc_read_time was successful in rtc_timer_do_work()
If the __rtc_read_time call fails,, the struct rtc_time tm; may contain
uninitialized data, or an illegal date/time read from the RTC hardware.
When calling rtc_tm_to_ktime later, the result may be a very large value
(possibly KTIME_MAX). If there are periodic timers in rtc->timerqueue,
they will continually expire, may causing kernel softlockup.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/mlx5: Fix an unwind issue in mlx5vf_add_migration_pages()
Fix an unwind issue in mlx5vf_add_migration_pages().
If a set of pages is allocated but fails to be added to the SG table,
they need to be freed to prevent a memory leak.
Any pages successfully added to the SG table will be freed as part of
mlx5vf_free_data_buffer().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Fix reset_method_store() memory leak
In reset_method_store(), a string is allocated via kstrndup() and assigned
to the local "options". options is then used in with strsep() to find
spaces:
while ((name = strsep(&options, " ")) != NULL) {
If there are no remaining spaces, then options is set to NULL by strsep(),
so the subsequent kfree(options) doesn't free the memory allocated via
kstrndup().
Fix by using a separate tmp_options to iterate with strsep() so options is
preserved.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Several fixes to bpf_msg_pop_data
Several fixes to bpf_msg_pop_data,
1. In sk_msg_shift_left, we should put_page
2. if (len == 0), return early is better
3. pop the entire sk_msg (last == msg->sg.size) should be supported
4. Fix for the value of variable "a"
5. In sk_msg_shift_left, after shifting, i has already pointed to the next
element. Addtional sk_msg_iter_var_next may result in BUG.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix cpu stuck caused by printings during reset
During reset, cmd to destroy resources such as qp, cq, and mr may fail,
and error logs will be printed. When a large number of resources are
destroyed, there will be lots of printings, and it may lead to a cpu
stuck.
Delete some unnecessary printings and replace other printing functions
in these paths with the ratelimited version.
