Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.136 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix log recovery buffer allocation for the legacy h_size fixup
Commit a70f9fe52daa ("xfs: detect and handle invalid iclog size set by
mkfs") added a fixup for incorrect h_size values used for the initial
umount record in old xfsprogs versions. Later commit 0c771b99d6c9
("xfs: clean up calculation of LR header blocks") cleaned up the log
reover buffer calculation, but stoped using the fixed up h_size value
to size the log recovery buffer, which can lead to an out of bounds
access when the incorrect h_size does not come from the old mkfs
tool, but a fuzzer.
Fix this by open coding xlog_logrec_hblks and taking the fixed h_size
into account for this calculation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: ipc4-topology: Fix input format query of process modules without base extension
If a process module does not have base config extension then the same
format applies to all of it's inputs and the process->base_config_ext is
NULL, causing NULL dereference when specifically crafted topology and
sequences used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: WARN on vNMI + NMI window iff NMIs are outright masked
When requesting an NMI window, WARN on vNMI support being enabled if and
only if NMIs are actually masked, i.e. if the vCPU is already handling an
NMI. KVM's ABI for NMIs that arrive simultanesouly (from KVM's point of
view) is to inject one NMI and pend the other. When using vNMI, KVM pends
the second NMI simply by setting V_NMI_PENDING, and lets the CPU do the
rest (hardware automatically sets V_NMI_BLOCKING when an NMI is injected).
However, if KVM can't immediately inject an NMI, e.g. because the vCPU is
in an STI shadow or is running with GIF=0, then KVM will request an NMI
window and trigger the WARN (but still function correctly).
Whether or not the GIF=0 case makes sense is debatable, as the intent of
KVM's behavior is to provide functionality that is as close to real
hardware as possible. E.g. if two NMIs are sent in quick succession, the
probability of both NMIs arriving in an STI shadow is infinitesimally low
on real hardware, but significantly larger in a virtual environment, e.g.
if the vCPU is preempted in the STI shadow. For GIF=0, the argument isn't
as clear cut, because the window where two NMIs can collide is much larger
in bare metal (though still small).
That said, KVM should not have divergent behavior for the GIF=0 case based
on whether or not vNMI support is enabled. And KVM has allowed
simultaneous NMIs with GIF=0 for over a decade, since commit 7460fb4a3400
("KVM: Fix simultaneous NMIs"). I.e. KVM's GIF=0 handling shouldn't be
modified without a *really* good reason to do so, and if KVM's behavior
were to be modified, it should be done irrespective of vNMI support.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l: async: Properly re-initialise notifier entry in unregister
The notifier_entry of a notifier is not re-initialised after unregistering
the notifier. This leads to dangling pointers being left there so use
list_del_init() to return the notifier_entry an empty list.

The IPv6 implementation in the Linux kernel before 6.3 has a net/ipv6/route.c max_size threshold that can be consumed easily, e.g., leading to a denial of service (network is unreachable errors) when IPv6 packets are sent in a loop via a raw socket.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/probes: fix error check in parse_btf_field()
btf_find_struct_member() might return NULL or an error via the
ERR_PTR() macro. However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks
for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the
error up the stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix loop termination condition in gss_free_in_token_pages()
The in_token->pages[] array is not NULL terminated. This results in
the following KASAN splat:
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0x04a2013400000008-0x04a201340000000f]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dpu: Add callback function pointer check before its call
In dpu_core_irq_callback_handler() callback function pointer is compared to NULL,
but then callback function is unconditionally called by this pointer.
Fix this bug by adding conditional return.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
watchdog: cpu5wdt.c: Fix use-after-free bug caused by cpu5wdt_trigger
When the cpu5wdt module is removing, the origin code uses del_timer() to
de-activate the timer. If the timer handler is running, del_timer() could
not stop it and will return directly. If the port region is released by
release_region() and then the timer handler cpu5wdt_trigger() calls outb()
to write into the region that is released, the use-after-free bug will
happen.
Change del_timer() to timer_shutdown_sync() in order that the timer handler
could be finished before the port region is released.
