Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.30.9 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: check the inode number is not the invalid value of zero
Syskiller has produced an out of bounds access in fill_meta_index().
That out of bounds access is ultimately caused because the inode
has an inode number with the invalid value of zero, which was not checked.
The reason this causes the out of bounds access is due to following
sequence of events:
1. Fill_meta_index() is called to allocate (via empty_meta_index())
and fill a metadata index. It however suffers a data read error
and aborts, invalidating the newly returned empty metadata index.
It does this by setting the inode number of the index to zero,
which means unused (zero is not a valid inode number).
2. When fill_meta_index() is subsequently called again on another
read operation, locate_meta_index() returns the previous index
because it matches the inode number of 0. Because this index
has been returned it is expected to have been filled, and because
it hasn't been, an out of bounds access is performed.
This patch adds a sanity check which checks that the inode number
is not zero when the inode is created and returns -EINVAL if it is.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: fix UAF in direct writes
In production we have been hitting the following warning consistently
------------[ cut here ]------------
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 17 PID: 1800359 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0x9c/0xe0

This is because we're completing the nfs_direct_request twice in a row.
The source of this is when we have our commit requests to submit, we
process them and send them off, and then in the completion path for the
commit requests we have
if (nfs_commit_end(cinfo.mds))
nfs_direct_write_complete(dreq);
However since we're submitting asynchronous requests we sometimes have
one that completes before we submit the next one, so we end up calling
complete on the nfs_direct_request twice.
The only other place we use nfs_generic_commit_list() is in
__nfs_commit_inode, which wraps this call in a
nfs_commit_begin();
nfs_commit_end();
Which is a common pattern for this style of completion handling, one
that is also repeated in the direct code with get_dreq()/put_dreq()
calls around where we process events as well as in the completion paths.
Fix this by using the same pattern for the commit requests.
Before with my 200 node rocksdb stress running this warning would pop
every 10ish minutes. With my patch the stress test has been running for
several hours without popping.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-raid456, md/raid456: fix a deadlock for dm-raid456 while io concurrent with reshape
For raid456, if reshape is still in progress, then IO across reshape
position will wait for reshape to make progress. However, for dm-raid,
in following cases reshape will never make progress hence IO will hang:
1) the array is read-only;
2) MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is set;
3) MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set;
After commit c467e97f079f ("md/raid6: use valid sector values to determine
if an I/O should wait on the reshape") fix the problem that IO across
reshape position doesn't wait for reshape, the dm-raid test
shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh start to hang:

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0xc6/0x230
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6c/0x74
This is because reshape can't make progress.
For md/raid, the problem doesn't exist because register new sync_thread
doesn't rely on the IO to be done any more:
1) If array is read-only, it can switch to read-write by ioctl/sysfs;
2) md/raid never set MD_RECOVERY_WAIT;
3) If MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set, mddev_suspend() doesn't hold
'reconfig_mutex', hence it can be cleared and reshape can continue by
sysfs api 'sync_action'.
However, I'm not sure yet how to avoid the problem in dm-raid yet. This
patch on the one hand make sure raid_message() can't change
sync_thread() through raid_message() after presuspend(), on the other
hand detect the above 3 cases before wait for IO do be done in
dm_suspend(), and let dm-raid requeue those IO.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: prevent kernel bug at submit_bh_wbc()
Fix a bug where nilfs_get_block() returns a successful status when
searching and inserting the specified block both fail inconsistently. If
this inconsistent behavior is not due to a previously fixed bug, then an
unexpected race is occurring, so return a temporary error -EAGAIN instead.
This prevents callers such as __block_write_begin_int() from requesting a
read into a buffer that is not mapped, which would cause the BUG_ON check
for the BH_Mapped flag in submit_bh_wbc() to fail.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/zcrypt: fix reference counting on zcrypt card objects
Tests with hot-plugging crytpo cards on KVM guests with debug
kernel build revealed an use after free for the load field of
the struct zcrypt_card. The reason was an incorrect reference
handling of the zcrypt card object which could lead to a free
of the zcrypt card object while it was still in use.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: iaa - Fix nr_cpus < nr_iaa case
If nr_cpus < nr_iaa, the calculated cpus_per_iaa will be 0, which
causes a divide-by-0 in rebalance_wq_table().
Make sure cpus_per_iaa is 1 in that case, and also in the nr_iaa == 0
case, even though cpus_per_iaa is never used if nr_iaa == 0, for
paranoia.

If we have no VBT, or the VBT didn't declare the encoder

Instead of oopsing just bail early.
We won't be able to tell whether the port is DP++ or not,

The system was under memory stress where driver was not able to allocate an
SRB to carry out error recovery of cable pull. The failure to flush causes
upper layer to start modifying scsi_cmnd. When the system frees up some
memory, the subsequent cable pull trigger another command flush. At this
point the driver access a null pointer when attempting to DMA unmap the
SGL.
Add a check to make sure commands are flush back on session tear down to
prevent the null pointer access.
