Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.4.297 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Make it so that a waiting process can be aborted
When sendmsg() creates an rxrpc call, it queues it to wait for a connection
and channel to be assigned and then waits before it can start shovelling
data as the encrypted DATA packet content includes a summary of the
connection parameters.
However, sendmsg() may get interrupted before a connection gets assigned
and further sendmsg() calls will fail with EBUSY until an assignment is
made.
Fix this so that the call can at least be aborted without failing on
EBUSY. We have to be careful here as sendmsg() mustn't be allowed to start
the call timer if the call doesn't yet have a connection assigned as an
oops may follow shortly thereafter.

wifi: mac80211_hwsim: Fix possible NULL dereference
In a call to mac80211_hwsim_select_tx_link() the sta pointer might
be NULL, thus need to check that it is not NULL before accessing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: x_tables: fix percpu counter block leak on error path when creating new netns
Here is the stack where we allocate percpu counter block:
+-< __alloc_percpu
+-< xt_percpu_counter_alloc
+-< find_check_entry # {arp,ip,ip6}_tables.c
+-< translate_table
And it can be leaked on this code path:
+-> ip6t_register_table
+-> translate_table # allocates percpu counter block
+-> xt_register_table # fails
there is no freeing of the counter block on xt_register_table fail.
Note: xt_percpu_counter_free should be called to free it like we do in
do_replace through cleanup_entry helper (or in __ip6t_unregister_table).
Probability of hitting this error path is low AFAICS (xt_register_table
can only return ENOMEM here, as it is not replacing anything, as we are
creating new netns, and it is hard to imagine that all previous
allocations succeeded and after that one in xt_register_table failed).
But it's worth fixing even the rare leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/bnxt_re: wraparound mbox producer index
Driver is not handling the wraparound of the mbox producer index correctly.
Currently the wraparound happens once u32 max is reached.
Bit 31 of the producer index register is special and should be set
only once for the first command. Because the producer index overflow
setting bit31 after a long time, FW goes to initialization sequence
and this causes FW hang.
Fix is to wraparound the mbox producer index once it reaches u16 max.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
9p: set req refcount to zero to avoid uninitialized usage
When a new request is allocated, the refcount will be zero if it is
reused, but if the request is newly allocated from slab, it is not fully
initialized before being added to idr.
If the p9_read_work got a response before the refcount initiated. It will
use a uninitialized req, which will result in a bad request data struct.
Here is the logs from syzbot.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: tables: FPDT: Don't call acpi_os_map_memory() on invalid phys address
On a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600 model) there is a FPDT table
which contains invalid physical addresses, with high bits set which fall
outside the range of the CPU-s supported physical address range.
Calling acpi_os_map_memory() on such an invalid phys address leads to
the below WARN_ON in ioremap triggering resulting in an oops/stacktrace.
Add code to verify the physical address before calling acpi_os_map_memory()
to fix / avoid the oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix potential out of bound read in ext4_fc_replay_scan()
For scan loop must ensure that at least EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN space. If remain
space less than EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN which will lead to out of bound read
when mounting corrupt file system image.
ADD_RANGE/HEAD/TAIL is needed to add extra check when do journal scan, as this
three tags will read data during scan, tag length couldn't less than data length
which will read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix extent map use-after-free when handling missing device in read_one_chunk
Store the error code before freeing the extent_map. Though it's
reference counted structure, in that function it's the first and last
allocation so this would lead to a potential use-after-free.
The error can happen eg. when chunk is stored on a missing device and
the degraded mount option is missing.
