Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.4.172 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: use get_random_u32 instead of prandom
bh might occur while updating per-cpu rnd_state from user context,
ie. local_out path.
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: nginx/2725
caller is nft_ng_random_eval+0x24/0x54 [nft_numgen]
Call Trace:
check_preemption_disabled+0xde/0xe0
nft_ng_random_eval+0x24/0x54 [nft_numgen]
Use the random driver instead, this also avoids need for local prandom
state. Moreover, prandom now uses the random driver since d4150779e60f
("random32: use real rng for non-deterministic randomness").
Based on earlier patch from Pablo Neira.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/slub: add missing TID updates on slab deactivation
The fastpath in slab_alloc_node() assumes that c->slab is stable as long as
the TID stays the same. However, two places in __slab_alloc() currently
don't update the TID when deactivating the CPU slab.
If multiple operations race the right way, this could lead to an object
getting lost; or, in an even more unlikely situation, it could even lead to
an object being freed onto the wrong slab's freelist, messing up the
`inuse` counter and eventually causing a page to be freed to the page
allocator while it still contains slab objects.
(I haven't actually tested these cases though, this is just based on
looking at the code. Writing testcases for this stuff seems like it'd be
a pain...)
The race leading to state inconsistency is (all operations on the same CPU
and kmem_cache):
- task A: begin do_slab_free():
- read TID
- read pcpu freelist (==NULL)
- check `slab == c->slab` (true)
- [PREEMPT A->B]
- task B: begin slab_alloc_node():
- fastpath fails (`c->freelist` is NULL)
- enter __slab_alloc()
- slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption)
- enter ___slab_alloc()
- take local_lock_irqsave()
- read c->freelist as NULL
- get_freelist() returns NULL
- write `c->slab = NULL`
- drop local_unlock_irqrestore()
- goto new_slab
- slub_percpu_partial() is NULL
- get_partial() returns NULL
- slub_put_cpu_ptr() (enables preemption)
- [PREEMPT B->A]
- task A: finish do_slab_free():
- this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() succeeds()
- [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab==NULL, c->freelist!=NULL]
From there, the object on c->freelist will get lost if task B is allowed to
continue from here: It will proceed to the retry_load_slab label,
set c->slab, then jump to load_freelist, which clobbers c->freelist.
But if we instead continue as follows, we get worse corruption:
- task A: run __slab_free() on object from other struct slab:
- CPU_PARTIAL_FREE case (slab was on no list, is now on pcpu partial)
- task A: run slab_alloc_node() with NUMA node constraint:
- fastpath fails (c->slab is NULL)
- call __slab_alloc()
- slub_get_cpu_ptr() (disables preemption)
- enter ___slab_alloc()
- c->slab is NULL: goto new_slab
- slub_percpu_partial() is non-NULL
- set c->slab to slub_percpu_partial(c)
- [CORRUPT STATE: c->slab points to slab-1, c->freelist has objects
from slab-2]
- goto redo
- node_match() fails
- goto deactivate_slab
- existing c->freelist is passed into deactivate_slab()
- inuse count of slab-1 is decremented to account for object from
slab-2
At this point, the inuse count of slab-1 is 1 lower than it should be.
This means that if we free all allocated objects in slab-1 except for one,
SLUB will think that slab-1 is completely unused, and may free its page,
leading to use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_net: fix xdp_rxq_info bug after suspend/resume
The following sequence currently causes a driver bug warning
when using virtio_net:
# ip link set eth0 up
# echo mem > /sys/power/state (or e.g. # rtcwake -s 10 -m mem)
<resume>
# ip link set eth0 down
Missing register, driver bug
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 375 at net/core/xdp.c:138 xdp_rxq_info_unreg+0x58/0x60
Call trace:
xdp_rxq_info_unreg+0x58/0x60
virtnet_close+0x58/0xac

__dev_change_flags+0xd8/0x210
dev_change_flags+0x24/0x64
do_setlink+0x230/0xdd0
...
This happens because virtnet_freeze() frees the receive_queue
completely (including struct xdp_rxq_info) but does not call
xdp_rxq_info_unreg(). Similarly, virtnet_restore() sets up the
receive_queue again but does not call xdp_rxq_info_reg().
Actually, parts of virtnet_freeze_down() and virtnet_restore_up()
are almost identical to virtnet_close() and virtnet_open(): only
the calls to xdp_rxq_info_(un)reg() are missing. This means that
we can fix this easily and avoid such problems in the future by
just calling virtnet_close()/open() from the freeze/restore handlers.
Aside from adding the missing xdp_rxq_info calls the only difference
is that the refill work is only cancelled if netif_running(). However,
this should not make any functional difference since the refill work
should only be active if the network interface is actually up.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tun: unlink NAPI from device on destruction
Syzbot found a race between tun file and device destruction.
NAPIs live in struct tun_file which can get destroyed before
the netdev so we have to del them explicitly. The current
code is missing deleting the NAPI if the queue was detached
first.

dm raid: fix KASAN warning in raid5_add_disks
There's a KASAN warning in raid5_add_disk when running the LVM testsuite.
The warning happens in the test
lvconvert-raid-reshape-linear_to_raid6-single-type.sh. We fix the warning
by verifying that rdev->saved_raid_disk is within limits.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm raid: fix accesses beyond end of raid member array
On dm-raid table load (using raid_ctr), dm-raid allocates an array
rs->devs[rs->raid_disks] for the raid device members. rs->raid_disks
is defined by the number of raid metadata and image tupples passed
into the target's constructor.
In the case of RAID layout changes being requested, that number can be
different from the current number of members for existing raid sets as
defined in their superblocks. Example RAID layout changes include:
- raid1 legs being added/removed
- raid4/5/6/10 number of stripes changed (stripe reshaping)
- takeover to higher raid level (e.g. raid5 -> raid6)
When accessing array members, rs->raid_disks must be used in control
loops instead of the potentially larger value in rs->md.raid_disks.
Otherwise it will cause memory access beyond the end of the rs->devs
array.
Fix this by changing code that is prone to out-of-bounds access.
Also fix validate_raid_redundancy() to validate all devices that are
added. Also, use braces to help clean up raid_iterate_devices().
The out-of-bounds memory accesses was discovered using KASAN.
This commit was verified to pass all LVM2 RAID tests (with KASAN
enabled).
