Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.16.12 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Don't hold the layoutget locks across multiple RPC calls
When doing layoutget as part of the open() compound, we have to be
careful to release the layout locks before we can call any further RPC
calls, such as setattr(). The reason is that those calls could trigger
a recall, which could deadlock.

f2fs: avoid infinite loop to flush node pages
xfstests/generic/475 can give EIO all the time which give an infinite loop
to flush node page like below. Let's avoid it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: remove WARN_ON in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr
Syzbot triggers two WARNs in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr and
__is_bitmap_valid. For example, in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr,
if type is DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE or DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE_READ,
it invokes WARN_ON if blkaddr is not in the right range.
The call trace is as follows:
f2fs_get_node_info+0x45f/0x1070
read_node_page+0x577/0x1190
__get_node_page.part.0+0x9e/0x10e0

do_read_inode
f2fs_iget+0x2a5/0x58b0
f2fs_fill_super+0x3b39/0x7ca0
Fix these two WARNs by replacing WARN_ON with dump_stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: staging: rtl8192eu: Fix deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle
There is a deadlock in rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle(), which is shown below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| _set_timer()
rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle()| mod_timer()
spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | rtw_join_timeout_handler()
| _rtw_join_timeout_handler()
del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_bh() //(2)
(wait timer to stop) | ...
We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.
As a result, rtw_joinbss_event_prehandle() will block forever.
This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection of
spin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtain
the needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() to
spin_lock_irq() in _rtw_join_timeout_handler() in order to
prevent deadlock.

drivers: tty: serial: Fix deadlock in sa1100_set_termios()
There is a deadlock in sa1100_set_termios(), which is shown
below:
(Thread 1) | (Thread 2)
| sa1100_enable_ms()
sa1100_set_termios() | mod_timer()
spin_lock_irqsave() //(1) | (wait a time)
... | sa1100_timeout()

We hold sport->port.lock in position (1) of thread 1 and
use del_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handler
also need sport->port.lock in position (2) of thread 2. As a result,
sa1100_set_termios() will block forever.
This patch moves del_timer_sync() before spin_lock_irqsave()
in order to prevent the deadlock.
