Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.3.5 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Wrap dcn301_calculate_wm_and_dlg for FPU.
Mirrors the logic for dcn30. Cue lots of WARNs and some
kernel panics without this fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: runtime: avoid EFIv2 runtime services on Apple x86 machines
Aditya reports [0] that his recent MacbookPro crashes in the firmware
when using the variable services at runtime. The culprit appears to be a
call to QueryVariableInfo(), which we did not use to call on Apple x86
machines in the past as they only upgraded from EFI v1.10 to EFI v2.40
firmware fairly recently, and QueryVariableInfo() (along with
UpdateCapsule() et al) was added in EFI v2.00.
The only runtime service introduced in EFI v2.00 that we actually use in
Linux is QueryVariableInfo(), as the capsule based ones are optional,
generally not used at runtime (all the LVFS/fwupd firmware update
infrastructure uses helper EFI programs that invoke capsule update at
boot time, not runtime), and not implemented by Apple machines in the
first place. QueryVariableInfo() is used to 'safely' set variables,
i.e., only when there is enough space. This prevents machines with buggy
firmwares from corrupting their NVRAMs when they run out of space.
Given that Apple machines have been using EFI v1.10 services only for
the longest time (the EFI v2.0 spec was released in 2006, and Linux
support for the newly introduced runtime services was added in 2011, but
the MacbookPro12,1 released in 2015 still claims to be EFI v1.10 only),
let's avoid the EFI v2.0 ones on all Apple x86 machines.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix information leakage in /proc/net/ptype
In one net namespace, after creating a packet socket without binding
it to a device, users in other net namespaces can observe the new
`packet_type` added by this packet socket by reading `/proc/net/ptype`
file. This is minor information leakage as packet socket is
namespace aware.
Add a net pointer in `packet_type` to keep the net namespace of
of corresponding packet socket. In `ptype_seq_show`, this net pointer
must be checked when it is not NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: bnx2fc: Flush destroy_work queue before calling bnx2fc_interface_put()
The bnx2fc_destroy() functions are removing the interface before calling
destroy_work. This results multiple WARNings from sysfs_remove_group() as
the controller rport device attributes are removed too early.
Replace the fcoe_port's destroy_work queue. It's not needed.
The problem is easily reproducible with the following steps.
Example:
$ dmesg -w &
$ systemctl enable --now fcoe
$ fipvlan -s -c ens2f1
$ fcoeadm -d ens2f1.802

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix wrong offset in bio_truncate()
bio_truncate() clears the buffer outside of last block of bdev, however
current bio_truncate() is using the wrong offset of page. So it can
return the uninitialized data.
This happened when both of truncated/corrupted FS and userspace (via
bdev) are trying to read the last of bdev.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: avoid scanning potential huge holes
When using devm_request_free_mem_region() and devm_memremap_pages() to
add ZONE_DEVICE memory, if requested free mem region's end pfn were
huge(e.g., 0x400000000), the node_end_pfn() will be also huge (see
move_pfn_range_to_zone()). Thus it creates a huge hole between
node_start_pfn() and node_end_pfn().
We found on some AMD APUs, amdkfd requested such a free mem region and
created a huge hole. In such a case, following code snippet was just
doing busy test_bit() looping on the huge hole.
for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn++) {
struct page *page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);
if (!page)
continue;
...
}
So we got a soft lockup:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix use-after-free after failure to create a snapshot
At ioctl.c:create_snapshot(), we allocate a pending snapshot structure and
then attach it to the transaction's list of pending snapshots. After that
we call btrfs_commit_transaction(), and if that returns an error we jump
to 'fail' label, where we kfree() the pending snapshot structure. This can
result in a later use-after-free of the pending snapshot:
1) We allocated the pending snapshot and added it to the transaction's
list of pending snapshots;
2) We call btrfs_commit_transaction(), and it fails either at the first
call to btrfs_run_delayed_refs() or btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups().
In both cases, we don't abort the transaction and we release our
transaction handle. We jump to the 'fail' label and free the pending
snapshot structure. We return with the pending snapshot still in the
transaction's list;
3) Another task commits the transaction. This time there's no error at
all, and then during the transaction commit it accesses a pointer
to the pending snapshot structure that the snapshot creation task
has already freed, resulting in a user-after-free.
This issue could actually be detected by smatch, which produced the
following warning:
fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:843 create_snapshot() warn: '&pending_snapshot->list' not removed from list
So fix this by not having the snapshot creation ioctl directly add the
pending snapshot to the transaction's list. Instead add the pending
snapshot to the transaction handle, and then at btrfs_commit_transaction()
we add the snapshot to the list only when we can guarantee that any error
returned after that point will result in a transaction abort, in which
case the ioctl code can safely free the pending snapshot and no one can
access it anymore.
