Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.13.4 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ionic: catch failure from devlink_alloc
Add a check for NULL on the alloc return. If devlink_alloc() fails and
we try to use devlink_priv() on the NULL return, the kernel gets very
unhappy and panics. With this fix, the driver load will still fail,
but at least it won't panic the kernel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/gfx: disable gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq only when enabling legacy gfx ras
gfx9 cp_ecc_error_irq is only enabled when legacy gfx ras is assert.
So in gfx_v9_0_hw_fini, interrupt disablement for cp_ecc_error_irq
should be executed under such condition, otherwise, an amdgpu_irq_put
calltrace will occur.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: improve error handling from ext4_dirhash()
The ext4_dirhash() will *almost* never fail, especially when the hash
tree feature was first introduced. However, with the addition of
support of encrypted, casefolded file names, that function can most
certainly fail today.
So make sure the callers of ext4_dirhash() properly check for
failures, and reflect the errors back up to their callers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/MCE/AMD: Use an u64 for bank_map
Thee maximum number of MCA banks is 64 (MAX_NR_BANKS), see
a0bc32b3cacf ("x86/mce: Increase maximum number of banks to 64").
However, the bank_map which contains a bitfield of which banks to
initialize is of type unsigned int and that overflows when those bit
numbers are >= 32, leading to UBSAN complaining correctly:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/amd.c:1365:38
shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
Change the bank_map to a u64 and use the proper BIT_ULL() macro when
modifying bits in there.

usb: xhci: tegra: fix sleep in atomic call
When we set the dual-role port to Host mode, we observed the following

The function tegra_xusb_padctl_get_usb3_companion eventually calls
tegra_xusb_find_port and this in turn calls kasprintf which might sleep
and so cannot be called from an atomic context.
Fix this by moving the call to tegra_xusb_padctl_get_usb3_companion to
the tegra_xhci_id_work function where it is really needed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iw_cxgb4: Fix potential NULL dereference in c4iw_fill_res_cm_id_entry()
This condition needs to match the previous "if (epcp->state == LISTEN) {"
exactly to avoid a NULL dereference of either "listen_ep" or "ep". The
problem is that "epcp" has been re-assigned so just testing
"if (epcp->state == LISTEN) {" a second time is not sufficient.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmvnic: Do not reset dql stats on NON_FATAL err
All ibmvnic resets, make a call to netdev_tx_reset_queue() when
re-opening the device. netdev_tx_reset_queue() resets the num_queued
and num_completed byte counters. These stats are used in Byte Queue
Limit (BQL) algorithms. The difference between these two stats tracks
the number of bytes currently sitting on the physical NIC. ibmvnic
increases the number of queued bytes though calls to
netdev_tx_sent_queue() in the drivers xmit function. When, VIOS reports
that it is done transmitting bytes, the ibmvnic device increases the
number of completed bytes through calls to netdev_tx_completed_queue().
It is important to note that the driver batches its transmit calls and
num_queued is increased every time that an skb is added to the next
batch, not necessarily when the batch is sent to VIOS for transmission.
Unlike other reset types, a NON FATAL reset will not flush the sub crq
tx buffers. Therefore, it is possible for the batched skb array to be
partially full. So if there is call to netdev_tx_reset_queue() when
re-opening the device, the value of num_queued (0) would not account
for the skb's that are currently batched. Eventually, when the batch
is sent to VIOS, the call to netdev_tx_completed_queue() would increase
num_completed to a value greater than the num_queued. This causes a
BUG_ON crash:
ibmvnic 30000002: Firmware reports error, cause: adapter problem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soundwire: qcom: fix storing port config out-of-bounds
The 'qcom_swrm_ctrl->pconfig' has size of QCOM_SDW_MAX_PORTS (14),
however we index it starting from 1, not 0, to match real port numbers.
This can lead to writing port config past 'pconfig' bounds and
overwriting next member of 'qcom_swrm_ctrl' struct. Reported also by
smatch:
drivers/soundwire/qcom.c:1269 qcom_swrm_get_port_config() error: buffer overflow 'ctrl->pconfig' 14 <= 14

The problem is that the ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error in the
loop which in the alloc_wbufs(), then the wbuf->buf and wbuf->inodes
that were successfully alloced before are not freed.
Fix it by adding error hanging path in alloc_wbufs() which frees
the memory alloced before when ubifs_wbuf_init() returns an error.
