In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: fix region locking in hash types
Region locking introduced in v5.6-rc4 contained three macros to handle
the region locks: ahash_bucket_start(), ahash_bucket_end() which gave
back the start and end hash bucket values belonging to a given region
lock and ahash_region() which should give back the region lock belonging
to a given hash bucket. The latter was incorrect which can lead to a
race condition between the garbage collector and adding new elements
when a hash type of set is defined with timeouts.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: Fix unsafe attribute parsing in output_userspace()
This patch replaces the manual Netlink attribute iteration in
output_userspace() with nla_for_each_nested(), which ensures that only
well-formed attributes are processed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: displayport: Fix NULL pointer access
This patch ensures that the UCSI driver waits for all pending tasks in the
ucsi_displayport_work workqueue to finish executing before proceeding with
the partner removal.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: Flush gso_skb list too during ->change()
Previously, when reducing a qdisc's limit via the ->change() operation, only
the main skb queue was trimmed, potentially leaving packets in the gso_skb
list. This could result in NULL pointer dereference when we only check
sch->limit against sch->q.qlen.
This patch introduces a new helper, qdisc_dequeue_internal(), which ensures
both the gso_skb list and the main queue are properly flushed when trimming
excess packets. All relevant qdiscs (codel, fq, fq_codel, fq_pie, hhf, pie)
are updated to use this helper in their ->change() routines.
GStreamer H265 Codec Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GStreamer. Interaction with this library is required to exploit this vulnerability but attack vectors may vary depending on the implementation.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of H265 slice headers. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a fixed-length stack-based buffer. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-26596.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qibfs: fix _another_ leak
failure to allocate inode => leaked dentry...
this one had been there since the initial merge; to be fair,
if we are that far OOM, the odds of failing at that particular
allocation are low...
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: wdm: close race between wdm_open and wdm_wwan_port_stop
Clearing WDM_WWAN_IN_USE must be the last action or
we can open a chardev whose URBs are still poisoned
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: leds: fix memory leak
A network restart test on a router led to an out-of-memory condition,
which was traced to a memory leak in the PHY LED trigger code.
The root cause is misuse of the devm API. The registration function
(phy_led_triggers_register) is called from phy_attach_direct, not
phy_probe, and the unregister function (phy_led_triggers_unregister)
is called from phy_detach, not phy_remove. This means the register and
unregister functions can be called multiple times for the same PHY
device, but devm-allocated memory is not freed until the driver is
unbound.
This also prevents kmemleak from detecting the leak, as the devm API
internally stores the allocated pointer.
Fix this by replacing devm_kzalloc/devm_kcalloc with standard
kzalloc/kcalloc, and add the corresponding kfree calls in the unregister
path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcm80211: fmac: Add error handling for brcmf_usb_dl_writeimage()
The function brcmf_usb_dl_writeimage() calls the function
brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() but dose not check its return value. The
'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized if the
function brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails. It is dangerous to use
uninitialized variables in the conditions.
Add error handling for brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() to jump to error
handling path if the brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails and the
'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized.
Improve the error message to report more detailed error
information.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Fix double SIGFPE crash
Camm noticed that on parisc a SIGFPE exception will crash an application with
a second SIGFPE in the signal handler. Dave analyzed it, and it happens
because glibc uses a double-word floating-point store to atomically update
function descriptors. As a result of lazy binding, we hit a floating-point
store in fpe_func almost immediately.
When the T bit is set, an assist exception trap occurs when when the
co-processor encounters *any* floating-point instruction except for a double
store of register %fr0. The latter cancels all pending traps. Let's fix this
by clearing the Trap (T) bit in the FP status register before returning to the
signal handler in userspace.
The issue can be reproduced with this test program:
root@parisc:~# cat fpe.c
static void fpe_func(int sig, siginfo_t *i, void *v) {
sigset_t set;
sigemptyset(&set);
sigaddset(&set, SIGFPE);
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL);
printf("GOT signal %d with si_code %ld\n", sig, i->si_code);
}
int main() {
struct sigaction action = {
.sa_sigaction = fpe_func,
.sa_flags = SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO };
sigaction(SIGFPE, &action, 0);
feenableexcept(FE_OVERFLOW);
return printf("%lf\n",1.7976931348623158E308*1.7976931348623158E308);
