Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.311 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Fix multiple LUN_RESET handling
This fixes a bug where an initiator thinks a LUN_RESET has cleaned up
running commands when it hasn't. The bug was added in commit 51ec502a3266
("target: Delete tmr from list before processing").
The problem occurs when:
1. We have N I/O cmds running in the target layer spread over 2 sessions.
2. The initiator sends a LUN_RESET for each session.
3. session1's LUN_RESET loops over all the running commands from both
sessions and moves them to its local drain_task_list.
4. session2's LUN_RESET does not see the LUN_RESET from session1 because
the commit above has it remove itself. session2 also does not see any
commands since the other reset moved them off the state lists.
5. sessions2's LUN_RESET will then complete with a successful response.
6. sessions2's inititor believes the running commands on its session are
now cleaned up due to the successful response and cleans up the running
commands from its side. It then restarts them.
7. The commands do eventually complete on the backend and the target
starts to return aborted task statuses for them. The initiator will
either throw a invalid ITT error or might accidentally lookup a new
task if the ITT has been reallocated already.
Fix the bug by reverting the patch, and serialize the execution of
LUN_RESETs and Preempt and Aborts.
Also prevent us from waiting on LUN_RESETs in core_tmr_drain_tmr_list,
because it turns out the original patch fixed a bug that was not
mentioned. For LUN_RESET1 core_tmr_drain_tmr_list can see a second
LUN_RESET and wait on it. Then the second reset will run
core_tmr_drain_tmr_list and see the first reset and wait on it resulting in
a deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: mvebu: fix irq domain leak
Uwe Kleine-König pointed out we still have one resource leak in the mvebu
driver triggered on driver detach. Let's address it with a custom devm
action.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: qup: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path
Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this
case the dma resources are not released in the error path. this is never
retried later and so this is a permanent leak. To fix this, only skip
hardware disabling if waking the device fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext2: Check block size validity during mount
Check that log of block size stored in the superblock has sensible
value. Otherwise the shift computing the block size can overflow leading
to undefined behavior.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_vti: fix potential slab-use-after-free in decode_session6
When ip_vti device is set to the qdisc of the sfb type, the cb field
of the sent skb may be modified during enqueuing. Then,
slab-use-after-free may occur when ip_vti device sends IPv6 packets.
As commit f855691975bb ("xfrm6: Fix the nexthdr offset in
_decode_session6.") showed, xfrm_decode_session was originally intended
only for the receive path. IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is not set during
transmission. Therefore, set the cb field in the skb to 0 before
sending packets.

This bug is caused by the fact that usbnet trusts the bulk endpoint
addresses its probe routine receives in the driver_info structure, and
it does not check to see that these endpoints actually exist and have
the expected type and directions.
The fix is simply to add such a check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: reject auth/assoc to AP with our address
If the AP uses our own address as its MLD address or BSSID, then
clearly something's wrong. Reject such connections so we don't
try and fail later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: rawnand: brcmnand: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in oob write
When the oob buffer length is not in multiple of words, the oob write
function does out-of-bounds read on the oob source buffer at the last
iteration. Fix that by always checking length limit on the oob buffer
read and fill with 0xff when reaching the end of the buffer to the oob
registers.
