Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.16.59 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: dt9812: fix DMA buffers on stack
USB transfer buffers are typically mapped for DMA and must not be
allocated on the stack or transfers will fail.
Allocate proper transfer buffers in the various command helpers and
return an error on short transfers instead of acting on random stack
data.
Note that this also fixes a stack info leak on systems where DMA is not
used as 32 bytes are always sent to the device regardless of how short
the command is.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: Fix out of bound access for corrupted isofs image
When isofs image is suitably corrupted isofs_read_inode() can read data
beyond the end of buffer. Sanity-check the directory entry length before
using it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: rtl8712: fix use-after-free in rtl8712_dl_fw
Syzbot reported use-after-free in rtl8712_dl_fw(). The problem was in
race condition between r871xu_dev_remove() ->ndo_open() callback.
It's easy to see from crash log, that driver accesses released firmware
in ->ndo_open() callback. It may happen, since driver was releasing
firmware _before_ unregistering netdev. Fix it by moving
unregister_netdev() before cleaning up resources.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released
SCSI host release is triggered when SCSI device is freed. We have to make
sure that the low-level device driver module won't be unloaded before SCSI
host instance is released because shost->hostt is required in the release
handler.
Make sure to put LLD module refcnt after SCSI device is released.
Fixes a kernel panic of 'BUG: unable to handle page fault for address'
reported by Changhui and Yi.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix a memory leak in an error path of qla2x00_process_els()
Commit 8c0eb596baa5 ("[SCSI] qla2xxx: Fix a memory leak in an error path of
qla2x00_process_els()"), intended to change:
bsg_job->request->msgcode == FC_BSG_HST_ELS_NOLOGIN
bsg_job->request->msgcode != FC_BSG_RPT_ELS
but changed it to:
bsg_job->request->msgcode == FC_BSG_RPT_ELS
instead.
Change the == to a != to avoid leaking the fcport structure or freeing
unallocated memory.

isdn: mISDN: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context
The driver can call card->isac.release() function from an atomic
context.
Fix this by calling this function after releasing the lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: mount fails with buffer overflow in strlen
Starting with kernel 5.11 built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE mouting an
ocfs2 filesystem with either o2cb or pcmk cluster stack fails with the
trace below. Problem seems to be that strings for cluster stack and
cluster name are not guaranteed to be null terminated in the disk
representation, while strlcpy assumes that the source string is always
null terminated. This causes a read outside of the source string
triggering the buffer overflow detection.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix memory leak in mlx5_core_destroy_cq() error path
Prior to this patch in case mlx5_core_destroy_cq() failed it returns
without completing all destroy operations and that leads to memory leak.
Instead, complete the destroy flow before return error.
Also move mlx5_debug_cq_remove() to the beginning of mlx5_core_destroy_cq()
to be symmetrical with mlx5_core_create_cq().
kmemleak complains on:

NFC: digital: fix possible memory leak in digital_in_send_sdd_req()
'skb' is allocated in digital_in_send_sdd_req(), but not free when
digital_in_send_cmd() failed, which will cause memory leak. Fix it
