Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.1.111 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: Prevent copying of nlink with value 0 from disk inode
syzbot report a deadlock in diFree. [1]
When calling "ioctl$LOOP_SET_STATUS64", the offset value passed in is 4,
which does not match the mounted loop device, causing the mapping of the
mounted loop device to be invalidated.
When creating the directory and creating the inode of iag in diReadSpecial(),
read the page of fixed disk inode (AIT) in raw mode in read_metapage(), the
metapage data it returns is corrupted, which causes the nlink value of 0 to be
assigned to the iag inode when executing copy_from_dinode(), which ultimately
causes a deadlock when entering diFree().
To avoid this, first check the nlink value of dinode before setting iag inode.

=====================================================
The reason is that imap is not properly initialized after memory
allocation. It will cause the snprintf() function to write uninitialized
data into linebuf within hex_dump_to_buffer().
Fix this by using kzalloc instead of kmalloc to clear its content at the
beginning in diMount().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Acquire SRCU in KVM_GET_MP_STATE to protect guest memory accesses
Acquire a lock on kvm->srcu when userspace is getting MP state to handle a
rather extreme edge case where "accepting" APIC events, i.e. processing
pending INIT or SIPI, can trigger accesses to guest memory. If the vCPU
is in L2 with INIT *and* a TRIPLE_FAULT request pending, then getting MP
state will trigger a nested VM-Exit by way of ->check_nested_events(), and
emuating the nested VM-Exit can access guest memory.
The splat was originally hit by syzkaller on a Google-internal kernel, and
reproduced on an upstream kernel by hacking the triple_fault_event_test
selftest to stuff a pending INIT, store an MSR on VM-Exit (to generate a
memory access on VMX), and do vcpu_mp_state_get() to trigger the scenario.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HSI: ssi_protocol: Fix use after free vulnerability in ssi_protocol Driver Due to Race Condition
In the ssi_protocol_probe() function, &ssi->work is bound with
ssip_xmit_work(), In ssip_pn_setup(), the ssip_pn_xmit() function
within the ssip_pn_ops structure is capable of starting the
work.
If we remove the module which will call ssi_protocol_remove()
to make a cleanup, it will free ssi through kfree(ssi),
while the work mentioned above will be used. The sequence
of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| ssip_xmit_work
ssi_protocol_remove |
kfree(ssi); |
| struct hsi_client *cl = ssi->cl;
| // use ssi
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding
with the cleanup in ssi_protocol_remove().

ksmbd: fix null pointer dereference in alloc_preauth_hash()
The Client send malformed smb2 negotiate request. ksmbd return error
response. Subsequently, the client can send smb2 session setup even

Access psid->sub_auth[psid->num_subauth - 1] without checking

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: put dl_stid if fail to queue dl_recall
Before calling nfsd4_run_cb to queue dl_recall to the callback_wq, we
increment the reference count of dl_stid.
We expect that after the corresponding work_struct is processed, the
reference count of dl_stid will be decremented through the callback
function nfsd4_cb_recall_release.
However, if the call to nfsd4_run_cb fails, the incremented reference
count of dl_stid will not be decremented correspondingly, leading to the
following nfs4_stid leak:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: don't ignore the return code of svc_proc_register()
Currently, nfsd_proc_stat_init() ignores the return value of
svc_proc_register(). If the procfile creation fails, then the kernel
will WARN when it tries to remove the entry later.
Fix nfsd_proc_stat_init() to return the same type of pointer as
svc_proc_register(), and fix up nfsd_net_init() to check that and fail
the nfsd_net construction if it occurs.
svc_proc_register() can fail if the dentry can't be allocated, or if an
identical dentry already exists. The second case is pretty unlikely in
the nfsd_net construction codepath, so if this happens, return -ENOMEM.
