Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.112 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix the maximum cell name length
The kafs filesystem limits the maximum length of a cell to 256 bytes, but a
problem occurs if someone actually does that: kafs tries to create a
directory under /proc/net/afs/ with the name of the cell, but that fails
with a warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 9 at fs/proc/generic.c:405
because procfs limits the maximum filename length to 255.
However, the DNS limits the maximum lookup length and, by extension, the
maximum cell name, to 255 less two (length count and trailing NUL).
Fix this by limiting the maximum acceptable cellname length to 253. This
also allows us to be sure we can create the "/afs/.<cell>/" mountpoint too.
Further, split the YFS VL record cell name maximum to be the 256 allowed by
the protocol and ignore the record retrieved by YFSVL.GetCellName if it
exceeds 253.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched: sch_cake: add bounds checks to host bulk flow fairness counts
Even though we fixed a logic error in the commit cited below, syzbot
still managed to trigger an underflow of the per-host bulk flow
counters, leading to an out of bounds memory access.
To avoid any such logic errors causing out of bounds memory accesses,
this commit factors out all accesses to the per-host bulk flow counters
to a series of helpers that perform bounds-checking before any
increments and decrements. This also has the benefit of improving
readability by moving the conditional checks for the flow mode into
these helpers, instead of having them spread out throughout the
code (which was the cause of the original logic error).
As part of this change, the flow quantum calculation is consolidated
into a helper function, which means that the dithering applied to the
ost load scaling is now applied both in the DRR rotation and when a
sparse flow's quantum is first initiated. The only user-visible effect
of this is that the maximum packet size that can be sent while a flow
stays sparse will now vary with +/- one byte in some cases. This should
not make a noticeable difference in practice, and thus it's not worth
complicating the code to preserve the old behaviour.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack: clamp maximum hashtable size to INT_MAX
Use INT_MAX as maximum size for the conntrack hashtable. Otherwise, it
is possible to hit WARN_ON_ONCE in __kvmalloc_node_noprof() when
resizing hashtable because __GFP_NOWARN is unset. See:
0708a0afe291 ("mm: Consider __GFP_NOWARN flag for oversized kvmalloc() calls")
Note: hashtable resize is only possible from init_netns.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix kernel crash when 1588 is sent on HIP08 devices
Currently, HIP08 devices does not register the ptp devices, so the
hdev->ptp is NULL. But the tx process would still try to set hardware time
stamp info with SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP flag and cause a kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rds: sysctl: rds_tcp_{rcv,snd}buf: avoid using current->nsproxy
As mentioned in a previous commit of this series, using the 'net'
structure via 'current' is not recommended for different reasons:
- Inconsistency: getting info from the reader's/writer's netns vs only
from the opener's netns.
- current->nsproxy can be NULL in some cases, resulting in an 'Oops'
(null-ptr-deref), e.g. when the current task is exiting, as spotted by
syzbot [1] using acct(2).
The per-netns structure can be obtained from the table->data using
container_of(), then the 'net' one can be retrieved from the listen
socket (if available).

of this fix, to use '*data' everywhere 'net->sctp.probe_interval' is
