Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.0.17 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: remove a BUG_ON in ext4_mb_release_group_pa()
If a malicious fuzzer overwrites the ext4 superblock while it is
mounted such that the s_first_data_block is set to a very large
number, the calculation of the block group can underflow, and trigger
a BUG_ON check. Change this to be an ext4_warning so that we don't
crash the kernel.

ext4: fix leaking uninitialized memory in fast-commit journal
When space at the end of fast-commit journal blocks is unused, make sure
to zero it out so that uninitialized memory is not leaked to disk.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix resolving backrefs for inline extent followed by prealloc
If a file consists of an inline extent followed by a regular or prealloc
extent, then a legitimate attempt to resolve a logical address in the
non-inline region will result in add_all_parents reading the invalid
offset field of the inline extent. If the inline extent item is placed
in the leaf eb s.t. it is the first item, attempting to access the
offset field will not only be meaningless, it will go past the end of
the eb and cause this panic:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Validate the box size for the snooped cursor
Invalid userspace dma surface copies could potentially overflow
the memcpy from the surface to the snooped image leading to crashes.
To fix it the dimensions of the copybox have to be validated
against the expected size of the snooped cursor.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Lag, fix failure to cancel delayed bond work
Commit 0d4e8ed139d8 ("net/mlx5: Lag, avoid lockdep warnings")
accidentally removed a call to cancel delayed bond work thus it may
cause queued delay to expire and fall on an already destroyed work
queue.
Fix by restoring the call cancel_delayed_work_sync() before
destroying the workqueue.
This prevents call trace such as this:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't set up encryption key during jbd2 transaction
Commit a80f7fcf1867 ("ext4: fixup ext4_fc_track_* functions' signature")
extended the scope of the transaction in ext4_unlink() too far, making
it include the call to ext4_find_entry(). However, ext4_find_entry()
can deadlock when called from within a transaction because it may need
to set up the directory's encryption key.
Fix this by restoring the transaction to its original scope.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: imx_dsp_rproc: Add mutex protection for workqueue
The workqueue may execute late even after remoteproc is stopped or
stopping, some resources (rpmsg device and endpoint) have been
released in rproc_stop_subdevices(), then rproc_vq_interrupt()
accessing these resources will cause kennel dump.
Call trace:

Add mutex protection in imx_dsp_rproc_vq_work(), if the state is
not running, then just skip calling rproc_vq_interrupt().
Also the flush workqueue operation can't be added in rproc stop
for the same reason. The call sequence is
rproc_shutdown
-> rproc_stop
->rproc_stop_subdevices
->rproc->ops->stop()
->imx_dsp_rproc_stop
->flush_work
-> rproc_vq_interrupt
The resource needed by rproc_vq_interrupt has been released in
rproc_stop_subdevices, so flush_work is not safe to be called in
imx_dsp_rproc_stop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix off-by-one errors in fast-commit block filling
Due to several different off-by-one errors, or perhaps due to a late
change in design that wasn't fully reflected in the code that was
actually merged, there are several very strange constraints on how
fast-commit blocks are filled with tlv entries:
- tlvs must start at least 10 bytes before the end of the block, even
though the minimum tlv length is 8. Otherwise, the replay code will
ignore them. (BUG: ext4_fc_reserve_space() could violate this
requirement if called with a len of blocksize - 9 or blocksize - 8.
Fortunately, this doesn't seem to happen currently.)
- tlvs must end at least 1 byte before the end of the block. Otherwise
the replay code will consider them to be invalid. This quirk
contributed to a bug (fixed by an earlier commit) where uninitialized
memory was being leaked to disk in the last byte of blocks.
Also, strangely these constraints don't apply to the replay code in
e2fsprogs, which will accept any tlvs in the blocks (with no bounds
checks at all, but that is a separate issue...).
Given that this all seems to be a bug, let's fix it by just filling
blocks with tlv entries in the natural way.
Note that old kernels will be unable to replay fast-commit journals
created by kernels that have this commit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix race condition validating r_parent before applying state
Add validation to ensure the cached parent directory inode matches the
directory info in MDS replies. This prevents client-side race conditions
where concurrent operations (e.g. rename) cause r_parent to become stale
between request initiation and reply processing, which could lead to
applying state changes to incorrect directory inodes.
[ idryomov: folded a kerneldoc fixup and a follow-up fix from Alex to
move CEPH_CAP_PIN reference when r_parent is updated:
When the parent directory lock is not held, req->r_parent can become
stale and is updated to point to the correct inode. However, the
associated CEPH_CAP_PIN reference was not being adjusted. The
CEPH_CAP_PIN is a reference on an inode that is tracked for
accounting purposes. Moving this pin is important to keep the
accounting balanced. When the pin was not moved from the old parent
to the new one, it created two problems: The reference on the old,
stale parent was never released, causing a reference leak.
A reference for the new parent was never acquired, creating the risk
of a reference underflow later in ceph_mdsc_release_request(). This
patch corrects the logic by releasing the pin from the old parent and
acquiring it for the new parent when r_parent is switched. This
ensures reference accounting stays balanced. ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pcmcia: Add error handling for add_interval() in do_validate_mem()
In the do_validate_mem(), the call to add_interval() does not
handle errors. If kmalloc() fails in add_interval(), it could
result in a null pointer being inserted into the linked list,
leading to illegal memory access when sub_interval() is called
next.
This patch adds an error handling for the add_interval(). If
add_interval() returns an error, the function will return early
with the error code.
