Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.4.99 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: upper bound check of tree index in dbAllocAG
When computing the tree index in dbAllocAG, we never check if we are
out of bounds realative to the size of the stree.
This could happen in a scenario where the filesystem metadata are
corrupted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: Regular file corruption check
The reproducer builds a corrupted file on disk with a negative i_size value.
Add a check when opening this file to avoid subsequent operation failures.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: bfa: Double-free fix
When the bfad_im_probe() function fails during initialization, the memory
pointed to by bfad->im is freed without setting bfad->im to NULL.
Subsequently, during driver uninstallation, when the state machine enters
the bfad_sm_stopping state and calls the bfad_im_probe_undo() function,
it attempts to free the memory pointed to by bfad->im again, thereby
triggering a double-free vulnerability.
Set bfad->im to NULL if probing fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libiscsi: Initialize iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is allocated
In case of an ib_fast_reg_mr allocation failure during iSER setup, the
machine hits a panic because iscsi_conn->dd_data is initialized
unconditionally, even when no memory is allocated (dd_size == 0). This
leads invalid pointer dereference during connection teardown.
Fix by setting iscsi_conn->dd_data only if memory is actually allocated.
Panic trace:
------------

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: fix potential buffer overflow in do_register_framebuffer()
The current implementation may lead to buffer overflow when:
1. Unregistration creates NULL gaps in registered_fb[]
2. All array slots become occupied despite num_registered_fb < FB_MAX
3. The registration loop exceeds array bounds
Add boundary check to prevent registered_fb[FB_MAX] access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-frontends: w7090p: fix null-ptr-deref in w7090p_tuner_write_serpar and w7090p_tuner_read_serpar
In w7090p_tuner_write_serpar, msg is controlled by user. When msg[0].buf is null and msg[0].len is zero, former checks on msg[0].buf would be passed. If accessing msg[0].buf[2] without sanity check, null pointer deref would happen. We add
check on msg[0].len to prevent crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: Fix vmalloc out-of-bounds write in fast_imageblit
This issue triggers when a userspace program does an ioctl
FBIOPUT_CON2FBMAP by passing console number and frame buffer number.
Ideally this maps console to frame buffer and updates the screen if
console is visible.
As part of mapping it has to do resize of console according to frame
buffer info. if this resize fails and returns from vc_do_resize() and
continues further. At this point console and new frame buffer are mapped
and sets display vars. Despite failure still it continue to proceed
updating the screen at later stages where vc_data is related to previous
frame buffer and frame buffer info and display vars are mapped to new
frame buffer and eventully leading to out-of-bounds write in
fast_imageblit(). This bheviour is excepted only when fg_console is
equal to requested console which is a visible console and updates screen
with invalid struct references in fbcon_putcs().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Fix 1-byte out-of-bounds read in uvc_parse_format()
The buffer length check before calling uvc_parse_format() only ensured
that the buffer has at least 3 bytes (buflen > 2), buf the function
accesses buffer[3], requiring at least 4 bytes.
This can lead to an out-of-bounds read if the buffer has exactly 3 bytes.
Fix it by checking that the buffer has at least 4 bytes in
uvc_parse_format().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: appletalk: Fix use-after-free in AARP proxy probe
The AARP proxyâprobe routine (aarp_proxy_probe_network) sends a probe,
releases the aarp_lock, sleeps, then re-acquires the lock. During that
window an expire timer thread (__aarp_expire_timer) can remove and
kfree() the same entry, leading to a use-after-free.
race condition:
cpu 0 | cpu 1
atalk_sendmsg() | atif_proxy_probe_device()
aarp_send_ddp() | aarp_proxy_probe_network()
mod_timer() | lock(aarp_lock) // LOCK!!
timeout around 200ms | alloc(aarp_entry)
and then call | proxies[hash] = aarp_entry
aarp_expire_timeout() | aarp_send_probe()

lock(aarp_lock) // LOCK!! | msleep(100);
__aarp_expire_timer(&proxies[ct]) |
