Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.7.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: kprobe: Fix potential null-ptr-deref on trace_array in kprobe_event_gen_test_exit()
When test_gen_kprobe_cmd() failed after kprobe_event_gen_cmd_end(), it
will goto delete, which will call kprobe_event_delete() and release the
corresponding resource. However, the trace_array in gen_kretprobe_test
will point to the invalid resource. Set gen_kretprobe_test to NULL
after called kprobe_event_delete() to prevent null-ptr-deref.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: kprobe: Fix potential null-ptr-deref on trace_event_file in kprobe_event_gen_test_exit()
When trace_get_event_file() failed, gen_kretprobe_test will be assigned
as the error code. If module kprobe_event_gen_test is removed now, the
null pointer dereference will happen in kprobe_event_gen_test_exit().
Check if gen_kprobe_test or gen_kretprobe_test is error code or NULL
before dereference them.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kprobes: Skip clearing aggrprobe's post_handler in kprobe-on-ftrace case
In __unregister_kprobe_top(), if the currently unregistered probe has
post_handler but other child probes of the aggrprobe do not have
post_handler, the post_handler of the aggrprobe is cleared. If this is
a ftrace-based probe, there is a problem. In later calls to
disarm_kprobe(), we will use kprobe_ftrace_ops because post_handler is
NULL. But we're armed with kprobe_ipmodify_ops. This triggers a WARN in
__disarm_kprobe_ftrace() and may even cause use-after-free:

For the kprobe-on-ftrace case, we keep the post_handler setting to
identify this aggrprobe armed with kprobe_ipmodify_ops. This way we
can disarm it correctly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: tcm_loop: Fix possible name leak in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus()
If device_register() fails in tcm_loop_setup_hba_bus(), the name allocated
by dev_set_name() need be freed. As comment of device_register() says, it
should use put_device() to give up the reference in the error path. So fix
this by calling put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup().
The 'tl_hba' will be freed in tcm_loop_release_adapter(), so it don't need
goto error label in this case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: sdhci-pci: Fix possible memory leak caused by missing pci_dev_put()
pci_get_device() will increase the reference count for the returned
pci_dev. We need to use pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count
before amd_probe() returns. There is no problem for the 'smbus_dev ==
NULL' branch because pci_dev_put() can also handle the NULL input
parameter case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm ioctl: fix misbehavior if list_versions races with module loading
__list_versions will first estimate the required space using the
"dm_target_iterate(list_version_get_needed, &needed)" call and then will
fill the space using the "dm_target_iterate(list_version_get_info,
&iter_info)" call. Each of these calls locks the targets using the
"down_read(&_lock)" and "up_read(&_lock)" calls, however between the first
and second "dm_target_iterate" there is no lock held and the target
modules can be loaded at this point, so the second "dm_target_iterate"
call may need more space than what was the first "dm_target_iterate"
returned.
The code tries to handle this overflow (see the beginning of
list_version_get_info), however this handling is incorrect.
The code sets "param->data_size = param->data_start + needed" and
"iter_info.end = (char *)vers+len" - "needed" is the size returned by the
first dm_target_iterate call; "len" is the size of the buffer allocated by
userspace.
"len" may be greater than "needed"; in this case, the code will write up
to "len" bytes into the buffer, however param->data_size is set to
"needed", so it may write data past the param->data_size value. The ioctl
interface copies only up to param->data_size into userspace, thus part of
the result will be truncated.
Fix this bug by setting "iter_info.end = (char *)vers + needed;" - this
guarantees that the second "dm_target_iterate" call will write only up to
the "needed" buffer and it will exit with "DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG" if it
overflows the "needed" space - in this case, userspace will allocate a
larger buffer and retry.
Note that there is also a bug in list_version_get_needed - we need to add
"strlen(tt->name) + 1" to the needed size, not "strlen(tt->name)".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Drop snd_BUG_ON() from snd_usbmidi_output_open()
snd_usbmidi_output_open() has a check of the NULL port with
snd_BUG_ON(). snd_BUG_ON() was used as this shouldn't have happened,
but in reality, the NULL port may be seen when the device gives an
invalid endpoint setup at the descriptor, hence the driver skips the
allocation. That is, the check itself is valid and snd_BUG_ON()
should be dropped from there. Otherwise it's confusing as if it were
a real bug, as recently syzbot stumbled on it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: cdg: allow tcp_cdg_release() to be called multiple times
Apparently, mptcp is able to call tcp_disconnect() on an already
disconnected flow. This is generally fine, unless current congestion
control is CDG, because it might trigger a double-free [1]
Instead of fixing MPTCP, and future bugs, we can make tcp_disconnect()
more resilient.

macvlan should enforce a minimal mtu of 68, even at link creation.
This patch avoids the current behavior (which could lead to crashes
in ipv6 stack if the link is brought up)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: fix use-after-free in ntfs_attr_find()
Patch series "ntfs: fix bugs about Attribute", v2.
This patchset fixes three bugs relative to Attribute in record:
Patch 1 adds a sanity check to ensure that, attrs_offset field in first
mft record loading from disk is within bounds.
Patch 2 moves the ATTR_RECORD's bounds checking earlier, to avoid
dereferencing ATTR_RECORD before checking this ATTR_RECORD is within
bounds.
Patch 3 adds an overflow checking to avoid possible forever loop in
ntfs_attr_find().
Without patch 1 and patch 2, the kernel triggersa KASAN use-after-free
detection as reported by Syzkaller.
Although one of patch 1 or patch 2 can fix this, we still need both of
them. Because patch 1 fixes the root cause, and patch 2 not only fixes
the direct cause, but also fixes the potential out-of-bounds bug.
This patch (of 3):

Kernel will loads $MFT/$DATA's first mft record in
ntfs_read_inode_mount().
Yet the problem is that after loading, kernel doesn't check whether
attrs_offset field is a valid value.
To be more specific, if attrs_offset field is larger than bytes_allocated
field, then it may trigger the out-of-bounds read bug(reported as
use-after-free bug) in ntfs_attr_find(), when kernel tries to access the
corresponding mft record's attribute.
This patch solves it by adding the sanity check between attrs_offset field
and bytes_allocated field, after loading the first mft record.
