Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.4.172 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Assign normalized_pix_clk when color depth = 14
[WHY & HOW]
A warning message "WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 459 at ... /dc_resource.c:3397
calculate_phy_pix_clks+0xef/0x100 [amdgpu]" occurs because the
display_color_depth == COLOR_DEPTH_141414 is not handled. This is
observed in Radeon RX 6600 XT.
It is fixed by assigning pix_clk * (14 * 3) / 24 - same as the rests.
Also fixes the indentation in get_norm_pix_clk.
(cherry picked from commit 274a87eb389f58eddcbc5659ab0b180b37e92775)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla1280: Fix kernel oops when debug level > 2
A null dereference or oops exception will eventually occur when qla1280.c
driver is compiled with DEBUG_QLA1280 enabled and ql_debug_level > 2. I
think its clear from the code that the intention here is sg_dma_len(s) not
length of sg_next(s) when printing the debug info.

This happens due to the malformed report items sent by the emulated device
which results in a report, that has no fields, being added to the report list.
Due to this appleir_input_configured() is never called, hidinput_connect()
fails which results in the HID_CLAIMED_INPUT flag is not being set. However,
it does not make appleir_probe() fail and lets the event callback to be
called without the associated input device.
Thus, add a check for the HID_CLAIMED_INPUT flag and leave the event hook
early if the driver didn't claim any input_dev for some reason. Moreover,
some other hid drivers accessing input_dev in their event callbacks do have
similar checks, too.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: fix an API misues when rio_add_net() fails
rio_add_net() calls device_register() and fails when device_register()
fails. Thus, put_device() should be used rather than kfree(). Add
"mport->net = NULL;" to avoid a use after free issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: add check for rio_add_net() in rio_scan_alloc_net()
The return value of rio_add_net() should be checked. If it fails,
put_device() should be called to free the memory and give up the reference
initialized in rio_add_net().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in resource_build_scaling_params
Null pointer dereference issue could occur when pipe_ctx->plane_state
is null. The fix adds a check to ensure 'pipe_ctx->plane_state' is not
null before accessing. This prevents a null pointer dereference.
Found by code review.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: do not use skb_get() before dev_queue_xmit()
syzbot is able to crash hosts [1], using llc and devices
not supporting IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING.
In this case, e1000 driver calls eth_skb_pad(), while
the skb is shared.
Simply replace skb_get() by skb_clone() in net/llc/llc_s_ac.c
Note that e1000 driver might have an issue with pktgen,
because it does not clear IFF_TX_SKB_SHARING, this is an
orthogonal change.
We need to audit other skb_get() uses in net/llc.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: gso: fix ownership in __udp_gso_segment
In __udp_gso_segment the skb destructor is removed before segmenting the
skb but the socket reference is kept as-is. This is an issue if the
original skb is later orphaned as we can hit the following bug:
kernel BUG at ./include/linux/skbuff.h:3312! (skb_orphan)
RIP: 0010:ip_rcv_core+0x8b2/0xca0

__napi_poll.constprop.0+0xa1/0x370
net_rx_action+0x925/0xe50
The above can happen following a sequence of events when using
OpenVSwitch, when an OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE action precedes an
OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT action:
1. OVS_ACTION_ATTR_USERSPACE is handled (in do_execute_actions): the skb
goes through queue_gso_packets and then __udp_gso_segment, where its
destructor is removed.
2. The segments' data are copied and sent to userspace.
3. OVS_ACTION_ATTR_OUTPUT is handled (in do_execute_actions) and the
same original skb is sent to its path.
4. If it later hits skb_orphan, we hit the bug.
Fix this by also removing the reference to the socket in
__udp_gso_segment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-tcp: fix potential memory corruption in nvme_tcp_recv_pdu()
nvme_tcp_recv_pdu() doesn't check the validity of the header length.
When header digests are enabled, a target might send a packet with an
invalid header length (e.g. 255), causing nvme_tcp_verify_hdgst()
to access memory outside the allocated area and cause memory corruptions
by overwriting it with the calculated digest.
Fix this by rejecting packets with an unexpected header length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: intel-ish-hid: Fix use-after-free issue in ishtp_hid_remove()
The system can experience a random crash a few minutes after the driver is
removed. This issue occurs due to improper handling of memory freeing in
the ishtp_hid_remove() function.
The function currently frees the `driver_data` directly within the loop
that destroys the HID devices, which can lead to accessing freed memory.
Specifically, `hid_destroy_device()` uses `driver_data` when it calls
`hid_ishtp_set_feature()` to power off the sensor, so freeing
`driver_data` beforehand can result in accessing invalid memory.
This patch resolves the issue by storing the `driver_data` in a temporary
variable before calling `hid_destroy_device()`, and then freeing the
`driver_data` after the device is destroyed.
