Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.6.19 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: fix a NULL pointer dereference in nvme_alloc_admin_tags
In nvme_alloc_admin_tags, the admin_q can be set to an error (typically
-ENOMEM) if the blk_mq_init_queue call fails to set up the queue, which
is checked immediately after the call. However, when we return the error
message up the stack, to nvme_reset_work the error takes us to
nvme_remove_dead_ctrl()
nvme_dev_disable()
nvme_suspend_queue(&dev->queues[0]).
Here, we only check that the admin_q is non-NULL, rather than not
an error or NULL, and begin quiescing a queue that never existed, leading
to bad / NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: rt5645: Fix errorenous cleanup order
There is a logic error when removing rt5645 device as the function
rt5645_i2c_remove() first cancel the &rt5645->jack_detect_work and
delete the &rt5645->btn_check_timer latter. However, since the timer
handler rt5645_btn_check_callback() will re-queue the jack_detect_work,
this cleanup order is buggy.
That is, once the del_timer_sync in rt5645_i2c_remove is concurrently
run with the rt5645_btn_check_callback, the canceled jack_detect_work
will be rescheduled again, leading to possible use-after-free.
This patch fix the issue by placing the del_timer_sync function before
the cancel_delayed_work_sync.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: rawnand: cadence: fix possible null-ptr-deref in cadence_nand_dt_probe()
It will cause null-ptr-deref when using 'res', if platform_get_resource()
returns NULL, so move using 'res' after devm_ioremap_resource() that
will check it to avoid null-ptr-deref.
And use devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() to simplify code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/hdmi: check return value after calling platform_get_resource_byname()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource_byname() returns NULL,
we need check the return value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: mediatek: vcodec: prevent kernel crash when rmmod mtk-vcodec-dec.ko
If the driver support subdev mode, the parameter "dev->pm.dev" will be
NULL in mtk_vcodec_dec_remove. Kernel will crash when try to rmmod
mtk-vcodec-dec.ko.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: remove two BUG() from skb_checksum_help()
I have a syzbot report that managed to get a crash in skb_checksum_help()
If syzbot can trigger these BUG(), it makes sense to replace
them with more friendly WARN_ON_ONCE() since skb_checksum_help()
can instead return an error code.
Note that syzbot will still crash there, until real bug is fixed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Check for null pointer of pointer substream before dereferencing it
Pointer substream is being dereferenced on the assignment of pointer card
before substream is being null checked with the macro PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK.
Although PCM_RUNTIME_CHECK calls BUG_ON, it still is useful to perform the
the pointer check before card is assigned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pvrusb2: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in pvr2_i2c_core_init
Syzbot reported that -1 is used as array index. The problem was in
missing validation check.
hdw->unit_number is initialized with -1 and then if init table walk fails
this value remains unchanged. Since code blindly uses this member for
array indexing adding sanity check is the easiest fix for that.
hdw->workpoll initialization moved upper to prevent warning in
__flush_work.

ASoC: mxs-saif: Fix refcount leak in mxs_saif_probe
