Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.32.23 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: reject auth/assoc to AP with our address
If the AP uses our own address as its MLD address or BSSID, then
clearly something's wrong. Reject such connections so we don't
try and fail later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix shift-out-of-bounds/overflow in nilfs_sb2_bad_offset()
Patch series "nilfs2: fix UBSAN shift-out-of-bounds warnings on mount
time".
The first patch fixes a bug reported by syzbot, and the second one fixes
the remaining bug of the same kind. Although they are triggered by the
same super block data anomaly, I divided it into the above two because the
details of the issues and how to fix it are different.
Both are required to eliminate the shift-out-of-bounds issues at mount
time.
This patch (of 2):
If the block size exponent information written in an on-disk superblock is
corrupted, nilfs_sb2_bad_offset helper function can trigger
shift-out-of-bounds warning followed by a kernel panic (if panic_on_warn
is set):
shift exponent 38983 is too large for 64-bit type 'unsigned long long'
Call Trace:

...
In addition, since nilfs_sb2_bad_offset() performs multiplication without
considering the upper bound, the computation may overflow if the disk
layout parameters are not normal.
This fixes these issues by inserting preliminary sanity checks for those
parameters and by converting the comparison from one involving
multiplication and left bit-shifting to one using division and right
bit-shifting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
macintosh: fix possible memory leak in macio_add_one_device()
Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically. It
needs to be freed when of_device_register() fails. Call put_device() to
give up the reference that's taken in device_initialize(), so that it
can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount hits 0.
macio device is freed in macio_release_dev(), so the kfree() can be
removed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Do not bother merging very long extents
When merging very long extents we try to push as much length as possible
to the first extent. However this is unnecessarily complicated and not
really worth the trouble. Furthermore there was a bug in the logic
resulting in corrupting extents in the file as syzbot reproducer shows.
So just don't bother with the merging of extents that are too long
together.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
start_kernel: Add __no_stack_protector function attribute
Back during the discussion of
commit a9a3ed1eff36 ("x86: Fix early boot crash on gcc-10, third try")
we discussed the need for a function attribute to control the omission
of stack protectors on a per-function basis; at the time Clang had
support for no_stack_protector but GCC did not. This was fixed in
gcc-11. Now that the function attribute is available, let's start using
it.
Callers of boot_init_stack_canary need to use this function attribute
unless they're compiled with -fno-stack-protector, otherwise the canary
stored in the stack slot of the caller will differ upon the call to
boot_init_stack_canary. This will lead to a call to __stack_chk_fail()
then panic.

The bug occurs when the dbAllocDmapLev()function attempts to access
dp->tree.stree[leafidx + LEAFIND] while the leafidx value is negative.
To rectify this, the patch introduces a safeguard within the
dbAllocDmapLev() function. A check has been added to verify if leafidx is
negative. If it is, the function immediately returns an I/O error, preventing
any further execution that could potentially cause harm.
Tested via syzbot.
