Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.18.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: qcom: gfx3d: add parent to parent request map
After commit d228ece36345 ("clk: divider: remove round_rate() in favor
of determine_rate()") determining GFX3D clock rate crashes, because the
passed parent map doesn't provide the expected best_parent_hw clock
(with the roundd_rate path before the offending commit the
best_parent_hw was ignored).
Set the field in parent_req in addition to setting it in the req,
fixing the crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: reject userspace cifs.spnego descriptions
cifs.spnego key descriptions contain authority-bearing fields such as
pid, uid, creduid, and upcall_target that cifs.upcall treats as
kernel-originating inputs. However, userspace can also create keys of
this type through request_key(2) or add_key(2), allowing those fields to
be supplied without CIFS origin.
Only accept cifs.spnego descriptions while CIFS is using its private
spnego_cred to request the key.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: media: atomisp: Disallow all private IOCTLs
Disallow all private IOCTLs. These aren't quite as safe as one could
assume of IOCTL handlers; disable them for now. Instead of removing the
code, return in the beginning of the function if cmd is non-zero in order
to keep static checkers happy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: fix integer overflow on buff_pos
Fixing an integer overflow present in batadv_iv_ogm_send_to_if. The size
check is done using the int type in batadv_iv_ogm_aggr_packet whereas the
buff_pos variable uses the s16 type. This could lead to an out-of-bound
read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix data race at accessing runtime.oss.trigger
Currently the runtime.oss.trigger field may be accessed concurrently
without protection, which may lead to the data race. And, in this
case, it may lead to more severe problem because it's a bit field; as
writing the data, it may overwrite other bit fields as well, which
confuses the operation completely, as spotted by fuzzing.
Fix it by covering runtime.oss.trigger bit fled also with the existing
params_lock mutex in both snd_pcm_oss_get_trigger() and
snd_pcm_oss_poll().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix btrfs_ioctl_space_info() slot_count TOCTOU which can lead to info-leak
btrfs_ioctl_space_info() has a TOCTOU race between two passes over the
block group RAID type lists. The first pass counts entries to determine
the allocation size, then the second pass fills the buffer. The
groups_sem rwlock is released between passes, allowing concurrent block
group removal to reduce the entry count.
When the second pass fills fewer entries than the first pass counted,
copy_to_user() copies the full alloc_size bytes including trailing
uninitialized kmalloc bytes to userspace.
Fix by copying only total_spaces entries (the actually-filled count from
the second pass) instead of alloc_size bytes, and switch to kzalloc so
any future copy size mismatch cannot leak heap data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix missing last_unlink_trans update when removing a directory
When removing a directory we are not updating its last_unlink_trans field,
which can result in incorrect fsync behaviour in case some one fsyncs the
directory after it was removed because it's holding a file descriptor on
it.
Example scenario:
mkdir /mnt/dir1
mkdir /mnt/dir1/dir2
mkdir /mnt/dir3
sync -f /mnt
# Do some change to the directory and fsync it.
chmod 700 /mnt/dir1
xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir1
# Move dir2 out of dir1 so that dir1 becomes empty.
mv /mnt/dir1/dir2 /mnt/dir3/
open fd on /mnt/dir1
call rmdir(2) on path "/mnt/dir1"
fsync fd
<trigger power failure>

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix divide-by-zero in setup_geo() with zero far_copies
setup_geo() extracts near_copies (nc) and far_copies (fc) from the
user-provided layout parameter without checking for zero. When fc=0
with the "improved" far set layout selected, 'geo->far_set_size =
disks / fc' triggers a divide-by-zero.
Validate nc and fc immediately after extraction, returning -1 if
either is zero.
