Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.121 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm80xx: Set phy->enable_completion only when we wait for it
pm8001_phy_control() populates the enable_completion pointer with a stack
address, sends a PHY_LINK_RESET / PHY_HARD_RESET, waits 300 ms, and
returns. The problem arises when a phy control response comes late. After
300 ms the pm8001_phy_control() function returns and the passed
enable_completion stack address is no longer valid. Late phy control
response invokes complete() on a dangling enable_completion pointer which
leads to a kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Disable DMCUB timeout for DCN35
[Why]
DMCUB can intermittently take longer than expected to process commands.
Old ASIC policy was to continue while logging a diagnostic error - which
works fine for ASIC without IPS, but with IPS this could lead to a race
condition where we attempt to access DCN state while it's inaccessible,
leading to a system hang when the NIU port is not disabled or register
accesses that timeout and the display configuration in an undefined
state.
[How]
We need to investigate why these accesses take longer than expected, but
for now we should disable the timeout on DCN35 to avoid this race
condition. Since the waits happen only at lower interrupt levels the
risk of taking too long at higher IRQ and causing a system watchdog
timeout are minimal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: stm32/cryp - call finalize with bh disabled
The finalize operation in interrupt mode produce a produces a spinlock
recursion warning. The reason is the fact that BH must be disabled
during this process.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7921: fix NULL pointer access in mt7921_ipv6_addr_change
When disabling wifi mt7921_ipv6_addr_change() is called as a notifier.
At this point mvif->phy is already NULL so we cannot use it here.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbnet: ipheth: do not stop RX on failing RX callback
RX callbacks can fail for multiple reasons:
* Payload too short
* Payload formatted incorrecly (e.g. bad NCM framing)
* Lack of memory
None of these should cause the driver to seize up.
Make such failures non-critical and continue processing further
incoming URBs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: soc-acpi-intel-lnl-match: add missing empty item
There is no links_num in struct snd_soc_acpi_mach {}, and we test
!link->num_adr as a condition to end the loop in hda_sdw_machine_select().
So an empty item in struct snd_soc_acpi_link_adr array is required.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: don't BUG_ON on ENOMEM from btrfs_lookup_extent_info() in walk_down_proc()
We handle errors here properly, ENOMEM isn't fatal, return the error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Handle mailbox timeouts in lpfc_get_sfp_info
The MBX_TIMEOUT return code is not handled in lpfc_get_sfp_info and the
routine unconditionally frees submitted mailbox commands regardless of
return status. The issue is that for MBX_TIMEOUT cases, when firmware
returns SFP information at a later time, that same mailbox memory region
references previously freed memory in its cmpl routine.
Fix by adding checks for the MBX_TIMEOUT return code. During mailbox
resource cleanup, check the mbox flag to make sure that the wait did not
timeout. If the MBOX_WAKE flag is not set, then do not free the resources
because it will be freed when firmware completes the mailbox at a later
time in its cmpl routine.
Also, increase the timeout from 30 to 60 seconds to accommodate boot
scripts requiring longer timeouts.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Remove SCSI host only if added
If host tries to remove ufshcd driver from a UFS device it would cause a
kernel panic if ufshcd_async_scan fails during ufshcd_probe_hba before
adding a SCSI host with scsi_add_host and MCQ is enabled since SCSI host
has been defered after MCQ configuration introduced by commit 0cab4023ec7b
("scsi: ufs: core: Defer adding host to SCSI if MCQ is supported").
To guarantee that SCSI host is removed only if it has been added, set the
scsi_host_added flag to true after adding a SCSI host and check whether it
is set or not before removing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix firmware crash due to invalid peer nss
Currently, if the access point receives an association
request containing an Extended HE Capabilities Information
Element with an invalid MCS-NSS, it triggers a firmware
crash.
This issue arises when EHT-PHY capabilities shows support
for a bandwidth and MCS-NSS set for that particular
bandwidth is filled by zeros and due to this, driver obtains
peer_nss as 0 and sending this value to firmware causes
crash.
Address this issue by implementing a validation step for
the peer_nss value before passing it to the firmware. If
the value is greater than zero, proceed with forwarding
it to the firmware. However, if the value is invalid,
reject the association request to prevent potential
firmware crashes.
