Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.12.69 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4, ipv6: Fix handling of transhdrlen in __ip{,6}_append_data()
Including the transhdrlen in length is a problem when the packet is
partially filled (e.g. something like send(MSG_MORE) happened previously)
when appending to an IPv4 or IPv6 packet as we don't want to repeat the
transport header or account for it twice. This can happen under some
circumstances, such as splicing into an L2TP socket.
The symptom observed is a warning in __ip6_append_data():
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5042 at net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1800 __ip6_append_data.isra.0+0x1be8/0x47f0 net/ipv6/ip6_output.c:1800
that occurs when MSG_SPLICE_PAGES is used to append more data to an already
partially occupied skbuff. The warning occurs when 'copy' is larger than
the amount of data in the message iterator. This is because the requested
length includes the transport header length when it shouldn't. This can be
triggered by, for example:
sfd = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_L2TP);
bind(sfd, ...); // ::1
connect(sfd, ...); // ::1 port 7
send(sfd, buffer, 4100, MSG_MORE);
sendfile(sfd, dfd, NULL, 1024);
Fix this by only adding transhdrlen into the length if the write queue is
empty in l2tp_ip6_sendmsg(), analogously to how UDP does things.
l2tp_ip_sendmsg() looks like it won't suffer from this problem as it builds
the UDP packet itself.

This issue is caused because usbnet_read_cmd() reads less bytes than requested
(zero byte in the reproducer). In this case, 'buf' is not properly filled.
This patch fixes the issue by returning -ENODATA if usbnet_read_cmd() reads
less bytes than requested.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: Fix a memory corruption issue
A few lines above, space is kzalloc()'ed for:
sizeof(struct iwl_nvm_data) +
sizeof(struct ieee80211_channel) +
sizeof(struct ieee80211_rate)
'mvm->nvm_data' is a 'struct iwl_nvm_data', so it is fine.
At the end of this structure, there is the 'channels' flex array.
Each element is of type 'struct ieee80211_channel'.
So only 1 element is allocated in this array.
When doing:
mvm->nvm_data->bands[0].channels = mvm->nvm_data->channels;
We point at the first element of the 'channels' flex array.
So this is fine.
However, when doing:
mvm->nvm_data->bands[0].bitrates =
(void *)((u8 *)mvm->nvm_data->channels + 1);
because of the "(u8 *)" cast, we add only 1 to the address of the beginning
of the flex array.
It is likely that we want point at the 'struct ieee80211_rate' allocated
just after.
Remove the spurious casting so that the pointer arithmetic works as
expected.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: drop messages from MDS when unmounting
When unmounting all the dirty buffers will be flushed and after
the last osd request is finished the last reference of the i_count
will be released. Then it will flush the dirty cap/snap to MDSs,
and the unmounting won't wait the possible acks, which will ihold
the inodes when updating the metadata locally but makes no sense
any more, of this. This will make the evict_inodes() to skip these
inodes.
If encrypt is enabled the kernel generate a warning when removing
the encrypt keys when the skipped inodes still hold the keyring:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Do not attempt to read past "commit"
When iterating over the ring buffer while the ring buffer is active, the
writer can corrupt the reader. There's barriers to help detect this and
handle it, but that code missed the case where the last event was at the
very end of the page and has only 4 bytes left.
The checks to detect the corruption by the writer to reads needs to see the
length of the event. If the length in the first 4 bytes is zero then the
length is stored in the second 4 bytes. But if the writer is in the process
of updating that code, there's a small window where the length in the first
4 bytes could be zero even though the length is only 4 bytes. That will
cause rb_event_length() to read the next 4 bytes which could happen to be off the
allocated page.
To protect against this, fail immediately if the next event pointer is
less than 8 bytes from the end of the commit (last byte of data), as all
events must be a minimum of 8 bytes anyway.

net: nfc: fix races in nfc_llcp_sock_get() and nfc_llcp_sock_get_sn()
Sili Luo reported a race in nfc_llcp_sock_get(), leading to UAF.
Getting a reference on the socket found in a lookup while
holding a lock should happen before releasing the lock.
nfc_llcp_sock_get_sn() has a similar problem.
Finally nfc_llcp_recv_snl() needs to make sure the socket
found by nfc_llcp_sock_from_sn() does not disappear.

The reason is early memblock_reserve() in memblock_init() set node id to
MAX_NUMNODES, making NODE_DATA(nid) a NULL dereference in the call chain
reserve_bootmem_region() -> init_reserved_page(). After memblock_init(),
those late calls of memblock_reserve() operate on subregions of memblock
.memory regions. As a result, these reserved regions will be set to the
correct node at the first iteration of memmap_init_reserved_pages().
So set all reserved memblocks on Node#0 at initialization can avoid this
panic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: assert requested protocol is valid
The protocol is used in a bit mask to determine if the protocol is
supported. Assert the provided protocol is less than the maximum
defined so it doesn't potentially perform a shift-out-of-bounds and
provide a clearer error for undefined protocols vs unsupported ones.
