Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.12.69 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/fixmap: Fix VM debug warning on unmap
Unmapping a fixmap entry is done by calling __set_fixmap()
with FIXMAP_PAGE_CLEAR as flags.
Today, powerpc __set_fixmap() calls map_kernel_page().
map_kernel_page() is not happy when called a second time
for the same page.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sunrpc: fix reference count leaks in rpc_sysfs_xprt_state_change
The refcount leak issues take place in an error handling path. When the
3rd argument buf doesn't match with "offline", "online" or "remove", the
function simply returns -EINVAL and forgets to decrease the reference
count of a rpc_xprt object and a rpc_xprt_switch object increased by
rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt() and
rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt_switch(), causing reference count leaks of
both unused objects.
Fix this issue by jumping to the error handling path labelled with
out_put when buf matches none of "offline", "online" or "remove".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xprtrdma: fix pointer derefs in error cases of rpcrdma_ep_create
If there are failures then we must not leave the non-NULL pointers with
the error value, otherwise `rpcrdma_ep_destroy` gets confused and tries
free them, resulting in an Oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/sqpoll: work around a potential audit memory leak
kmemleak complains that there's a memory leak related to connect
handling:
unreferenced object 0xffff0001093bdf00 (size 128):
comm "iou-sqp-455", pid 457, jiffies 4294894164

[<00000000d999b491>] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20
which can can happen if:
1) The command type does something on the prep side that triggers an
audit call.
2) The thread hasn't done any operations before this that triggered
an audit call inside ->issue(), where we have audit_uring_entry()
and audit_uring_exit().
Work around this by issuing a blanket NOP operation before the SQPOLL
does anything.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: hisilicon/sec - Fix memory leak for sec resource release
The AIV is one of the SEC resources. When releasing resources,
it need to release the AIV resources at the same time.
Otherwise, memory leakage occurs.
The aiv resource release is added to the sec resource release
function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netpoll: Fix race condition in netpoll_owner_active
KCSAN detected a race condition in netpoll:
BUG: KCSAN: data-race in net_rx_action / netpoll_send_skb
write (marked) to 0xffff8881164168b0 of 4 bytes by interrupt on cpu 10:
net_rx_action (./include/linux/netpoll.h:90 net/core/dev.c:6712 net/core/dev.c:6822)
<snip>
read to 0xffff8881164168b0 of 4 bytes by task 1 on cpu 2:
netpoll_send_skb (net/core/netpoll.c:319 net/core/netpoll.c:345 net/core/netpoll.c:393)
netpoll_send_udp (net/core/netpoll.c:?)
<snip>
value changed: 0x0000000a -> 0xffffffff
This happens because netpoll_owner_active() needs to check if the
current CPU is the owner of the lock, touching napi->poll_owner
non atomically. The ->poll_owner field contains the current CPU holding
the lock.
Use an atomic read to check if the poll owner is the current CPU.
