Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.156 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: add NULL check in automount_fullpath
page is checked for null in __build_path_from_dentry_optional_prefix
when tcon->origin_fullpath is not set. However, the check is missing when
it is set.
Add a check to prevent a potential NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: clear the dst when changing skb protocol
A not-so-careful NAT46 BPF program can crash the kernel
if it indiscriminately flips ingress packets from v4 to v6:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000000
ip6_rcv_core (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:190:20)
ipv6_rcv (net/ipv6/ip6_input.c:306:8)
process_backlog (net/core/dev.c:6186:4)

dev_loopback_xmit (net/core/dev.c:4015:2)
ip_mc_finish_output (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:363:8)
NF_HOOK (./include/linux/netfilter.h:314:9)
ip_mc_output (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:400:5)
dst_output (./include/net/dst.h:459:9)
ip_local_out (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:130:9)
ip_send_skb (net/ipv4/ip_output.c:1496:8)
udp_send_skb (net/ipv4/udp.c:1040:8)
udp_sendmsg (net/ipv4/udp.c:1328:10)
The output interface has a 4->6 program attached at ingress.
We try to loop the multicast skb back to the sending socket.
Ingress BPF runs as part of netif_rx(), pushes a valid v6 hdr
and changes skb->protocol to v6. We enter ip6_rcv_core which
tries to use skb_dst(). But the dst is still an IPv4 one left
after IPv4 mcast output.
Clear the dst in all BPF helpers which change the protocol.
Try to preserve metadata dsts, those may carry non-routing
metadata.

This issue happens when the file descriptor is closed before the jobs
submitted by it are completed. When the job completes, we update the
global GPU stats and the per-fd GPU stats, which are exposed through
fdinfo. If the file descriptor was closed, then the struct `v3d_file_priv`
and its stats were already freed and we can't update the per-fd stats.
Therefore, if the file descriptor was already closed, don't u

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: prevent overflow in lookup table allocation
When calculating the lookup table size, ensure the following
multiplication does not overflow:
- desc->field_len[] maximum value is U8_MAX multiplied by
NFT_PIPAPO_GROUPS_PER_BYTE(f) that can be 2, worst case.
- NFT_PIPAPO_BUCKETS(f->bb) is 2^8, worst case.
- sizeof(unsigned long), from sizeof(*f->lt), lt in
struct nft_pipapo_field.
Then, use check_mul_overflow() to multiply by bucket size and then use
check_add_overflow() to the alignment for avx2 (if needed). Finally, add
lt_size_check_overflow() helper and use it to consolidate this.
While at it, replace leftover allocation using the GFP_KERNEL to
GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT for consistency, in pipapo_resize().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: limit swapping tables for devices with zone write plugs
dm_revalidate_zones() only allowed new or previously unzoned devices to
call blk_revalidate_disk_zones(). If the device was already zoned,
disk->nr_zones would always equal md->nr_zones, so dm_revalidate_zones()
returned without doing any work. This would make the zoned settings for
the device not match the new table. If the device had zone write plug
resources, it could run into errors like bdev_zone_is_seq() reading
invalid memory because disk->conv_zones_bitmap was the wrong size.
If the device doesn't have any zone write plug resources, calling
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will always correctly update device. If
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() fails, it can still overwrite or clear the
current disk->nr_zones value. In this case, DM must restore the previous
value of disk->nr_zones, so that the zoned settings will continue to
match the previous value that it fell back to.
If the device already has zone write plug resources,
blk_revalidate_disk_zones() will not correctly update them, if it is
called for arbitrary zoned device changes. Since there is not much need
for this ability, the easiest solution is to disallow any table reloads
that change the zoned settings, for devices that already have zone plug
resources. Specifically, if a device already has zone plug resources
allocated, it can only switch to another zoned table that also emulates
zone append. Also, it cannot change the device size or the zone size. A
device can switch to an error target.
