Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.136 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
amd/amdkfd: sync all devices to wait all processes being evicted
If there are more than one device doing reset in parallel, the first
device will call kfd_suspend_all_processes() to evict all processes
on all devices, this call takes time to finish. other device will
start reset and recover without waiting. if the process has not been
evicted before doing recover, it will be restored, then caused page
fault.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: guard against invalid STA ID on removal
Guard against invalid station IDs in iwl_mvm_mld_rm_sta_id as that would
result in out-of-bounds array accesses. This prevents issues should the
driver get into a bad state during error handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: read txq->read_ptr under lock
If we read txq->read_ptr without lock, we can read the same
value twice, then obtain the lock, and reclaim from there
to two different places, but crucially reclaim the same
entry twice, resulting in the WARN_ONCE() a little later.
Fix that by reading txq->read_ptr under lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: Fix uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb()
KMSAN reported uninit-value access in __ip_make_skb() [1]. __ip_make_skb()
tests HDRINCL to know if the skb has icmphdr. However, HDRINCL can cause a
race condition. If calling setsockopt(2) with IP_HDRINCL changes HDRINCL
while __ip_make_skb() is running, the function will access icmphdr in the
skb even if it is not included. This causes the issue reported by KMSAN.
Check FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH on fl4->flowi4_flags instead of testing HDRINCL
on the socket.
Also, fl4->fl4_icmp_type and fl4->fl4_icmp_code are not initialized. These
are union in struct flowi4 and are implicitly initialized by
flowi4_init_output(), but we should not rely on specific union layout.
Initialize these explicitly in raw_sendmsg().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hv_netvsc: Don't free decrypted memory
In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an
error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to
take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security
issues.
The netvsc driver could free decrypted/shared pages if
set_memory_decrypted() fails. Check the decrypted field in the gpadl
to decide whether to free the memory.

VMBus code could free decrypted pages if set_memory_encrypted()/decrypted()
fails. Leak the pages if this happens.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpiolib: cdev: Fix use after free in lineinfo_changed_notify
The use-after-free issue occurs as follows: when the GPIO chip device file
is being closed by invoking gpio_chrdev_release(), watched_lines is freed
by bitmap_free(), but the unregistration of lineinfo_changed_nb notifier
chain failed due to waiting write rwsem. Additionally, one of the GPIO
chip's lines is also in the release process and holds the notifier chain's
read rwsem. Consequently, a race condition leads to the use-after-free of
watched_lines.
Here is the typical stack when issue happened:
[free]
gpio_chrdev_release()
--> bitmap_free(cdev->watched_lines) <-- freed
--> blocking_notifier_chain_unregister()
--> down_write(&nh->rwsem) <-- waiting rwsem
--> __down_write_common()
--> rwsem_down_write_slowpath()
--> schedule_preempt_disabled()
--> schedule()
[use]
st54spi_gpio_dev_release()
--> gpio_free()
--> gpiod_free()
--> gpiod_free_commit()
--> gpiod_line_state_notify()
--> blocking_notifier_call_chain()
--> down_read(&nh->rwsem); <-- held rwsem
--> notifier_call_chain()
--> lineinfo_changed_notify()
--> test_bit(xxxx, cdev->watched_lines) <-- use after free
The side effect of the use-after-free issue is that a GPIO line event is
being generated for userspace where it shouldn't. However, since the chrdev
is being closed, userspace won't have the chance to read that event anyway.
To fix the issue, call the bitmap_free() function after the unregistration
of lineinfo_changed_nb notifier chain.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: Fix potential uninit-value access in __ip6_make_skb()
As it was done in commit fc1092f51567 ("ipv4: Fix uninit-value access in
__ip_make_skb()") for IPv4, check FLOWI_FLAG_KNOWN_NH on fl6->flowi6_flags
instead of testing HDRINCL on the socket to avoid a race condition which
causes uninit-value access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
maple_tree: fix mas_empty_area_rev() null pointer dereference
Currently the code calls mas_start() followed by mas_data_end() if the
maple state is MA_START, but mas_start() may return with the maple state
node == NULL. This will lead to a null pointer dereference when checking
information in the NULL node, which is done in mas_data_end().
Avoid setting the offset if there is no node by waiting until after the
maple state is checked for an empty or single entry state.
A user could trigger the events to cause a kernel oops by unmapping all
vmas to produce an empty maple tree, then mapping a vma that would cause
the scenario described above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/userfaultfd: reset ptes when close() for wr-protected ones
Userfaultfd unregister includes a step to remove wr-protect bits from all
the relevant pgtable entries, but that only covered an explicit
UFFDIO_UNREGISTER ioctl, not a close() on the userfaultfd itself. Cover
that too. This fixes a WARN trace.
The only user visible side effect is the user can observe leftover
wr-protect bits even if the user close()ed on an userfaultfd when
releasing the last reference of it. However hopefully that should be
harmless, and nothing bad should happen even if so.
This change is now more important after the recent page-table-check
patch we merged in mm-unstable (446dd9ad37d0 ("mm/page_table_check:
support userfault wr-protect entries")), as we'll do sanity check on
uffd-wp bits without vma context. So it's better if we can 100%
guarantee no uffd-wp bit leftovers, to make sure each report will be
valid.
