Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.6.19 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-sff: Ensure that we cannot write outside the allocated buffer
reveliofuzzing reported that a SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl with out_len
set to 0xd42, SCSI command set to ATA_16 PASS-THROUGH, ATA command set to
ATA_NOP, and protocol set to ATA_PROT_PIO, can cause ata_pio_sector() to
write outside the allocated buffer, overwriting random memory.
While a ATA device is supposed to abort a ATA_NOP command, there does seem
to be a bug either in libata-sff or QEMU, where either this status is not
set, or the status is cleared before read by ata_sff_hsm_move().
Anyway, that is most likely a separate bug.
Looking at __atapi_pio_bytes(), it already has a safety check to ensure
that __atapi_pio_bytes() cannot write outside the allocated buffer.
Add a similar check to ata_pio_sector(), such that also ata_pio_sector()
cannot write outside the allocated buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: int3472: Check for adev == NULL
Not all devices have an ACPI companion fwnode, so adev might be NULL. This
can e.g. (theoretically) happen when a user manually binds one of
the int3472 drivers to another i2c/platform device through sysfs.
Add a check for adev not being set and return -ENODEV in that case to
avoid a possible NULL pointer deref in skl_int3472_get_acpi_buffer().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda-dai: Ensure DAI widget is valid during params
Each cpu DAI should associate with a widget. However, the topology might
not create the right number of DAI widgets for aggregated amps. And it
will cause NULL pointer deference.
Check that the DAI widget associated with the CPU DAI is valid to prevent
NULL pointer deference due to missing DAI widgets in topologies with
aggregated amps.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
safesetid: check size of policy writes
syzbot attempts to write a buffer with a large size to a sysfs entry
with writes handled by handle_policy_update(), triggering a warning
in kmalloc.
Check the size specified for write buffers before allocating.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
printk: Fix signed integer overflow when defining LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX
Shifting 1 << 31 on a 32-bit int causes signed integer overflow, which
leads to undefined behavior. To prevent this, cast 1 to u32 before
performing the shift, ensuring well-defined behavior.
This change explicitly avoids any potential overflow by ensuring that
the shift occurs on an unsigned 32-bit integer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: handle a symlink read error correctly
Patch series "Convert ocfs2 to use folios".
Mark did a conversion of ocfs2 to use folios and sent it to me as a
giant patch for review ;-)
So I've redone it as individual patches, and credited Mark for the patches
where his code is substantially the same. It's not a bad way to do it;
his patch had some bugs and my patches had some bugs. Hopefully all our
bugs were different from each other. And hopefully Mark likes all the
changes I made to his code!
This patch (of 23):
If we can't read the buffer, be sure to unlock the page before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Remove dangling pointers
When an async control is written, we copy a pointer to the file handle
that started the operation. That pointer will be used when the device is
done. Which could be anytime in the future.
If the user closes that file descriptor, its structure will be freed,
and there will be one dangling pointer per pending async control, that
the driver will try to use.
Clean all the dangling pointers during release().
To avoid adding a performance penalty in the most common case (no async
operation), a counter has been introduced with some logic to make sure
that it is properly handled.

The above transcript shows that ACPI pointed a 16 MiB buffer for the log

Address the bug by moving from devm_kmalloc() to devm_add_action() and
kvmalloc() and devm_add_action().
