Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.10.151 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mvpp2: sync RX data at the hardware packet offset
mvpp2 programs the RX queue packet offset, so hardware writes received
data at dma_addr + MVPP2_SKB_HEADROOM. The current CPU sync starts at
dma_addr and only covers rx_bytes + MVPP2_MH_SIZE bytes, which syncs the
unused headroom and misses the same number of bytes at the packet tail.
On non-coherent DMA systems this can leave the CPU reading stale cache
contents for the end of the received frame.
Use dma_sync_single_range_for_cpu() with MVPP2_SKB_HEADROOM as the range
offset so the sync covers the Marvell header and packet data actually
written by hardware.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_exthdr: fix register tracking for F_PRESENT flag
nft_exthdr_init() passes user-controlled priv->len to
nft_parse_register_store(), which marks that many bytes in the
register bitmap as initialized. However, when NFT_EXTHDR_F_PRESENT
is set, the eval paths write only 1 byte (nft_reg_store8) or
4 bytes (*dest = 0 on TCP/DCCP error path). When len > 4,
registers beyond the first are never written, retaining
uninitialized stack data from nft_regs.
Bail out if userspace requests too much data when F_PRESENT is set.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: x_tables: avoid leaking percpu counter pointers
The native and compat get-entries paths copy the fixed rule entry header
from the kernelized rule blob to userspace before overwriting the entry's
counter fields with a sanitized counter snapshot.
On SMP kernels, entry->counters.pcnt contains the percpu allocation
address used by x_tables rule counters. A caller can provide a userspace
buffer that faults during the initial fixed-header copy after pcnt has
been copied but before the later sanitized counter copy runs. The syscall
then returns -EFAULT while leaving the raw percpu pointer in userspace.
Copy only the fixed entry prefix before counters from the kernelized rule
blob, then copy the sanitized counter snapshot into the counter field.
Apply this ordering to the IPv4, IPv6, and ARP native and compat
get-entries implementations so a fault cannot expose the internal percpu
counter pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: revalidate bridge ports
ebt_redirect_tg() dereferences br_port_get_rcu() return without a
NULL check, causing a kernel panic when the bridge port has been
removed between the original hook invocation and an NFQUEUE
reinject.
A mere NULL check isn't sufficient, however. As sashiko review
points out userspace can not only remove the port from the bridge,
it could also place the device in a different virtual device, e.g.
macvlan.
If this happens, we must drop the packet, there is no way for us to
reinject it into the bridge path.
Switch to _upper API, we don't need the bridge port structure.
Also, this fix keeps another bug intact:
Both nfnetlink_log and nfnetlink_queue use CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER
too aggressive, which prevents certain logging features when queueing
in bridge family: NETFILTER_FAMILY_BRIDGE can be enabled while the old
CONFIG_BRIDGE_NETFILTER cruft is off.
Fixes tag is a common ancestor, this was always broken.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6_vti: fix incorrect tunnel matching in vti6_tnl_lookup()
In vti6_tnl_lookup(), when an exact match for a tunnel fails,
the code falls back to searching for wildcard tunnels:
- Tunnels matching the packet's local address, with any remote address
wildcard remote).
- Tunnels matching the packet's remote address, with any local address
(wildcard local).
However, vti6 stores all these different types of tunnels in the same
hash table (ip6n->tnls_r_l) prone to hash collisions.
The bug is that the fallback search loops in vti6_tnl_lookup() were
missing checks to ensure that the candidate tunnel actually has
a wildcard address.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: reject BR/EDR signaling packets over MTUsig
net/bluetooth/l2cap_core.c:l2cap_sig_channel() accepts BR/EDR
signaling packets up to the channel MTU and dispatches each command
without enforcing the signaling MTU (MTUsig). A Bluetooth BR/EDR peer
within radio range can send a fixed-channel CID 0x0001 packet that is
larger than MTUsig and contains many L2CAP_ECHO_REQ commands before
pairing. In a real-radio stock-kernel run, one 681-byte signaling
packet containing 168 zero-length ECHO_REQ commands made the target
transmit 168 ECHO_RSP frames over about 220 ms.
Impact: a Bluetooth BR/EDR peer within radio range, before pairing, can
force 168 ECHO_RSP frames from one 681-byte fixed-channel signaling
packet containing packed ECHO_REQ commands.
Define Linux's BR/EDR signaling MTU as the spec minimum of 48 bytes and
reject any larger signaling packet with one L2CAP_COMMAND_REJECT_RSP
carrying L2CAP_REJ_MTU_EXCEEDED before any command is dispatched.
The Bluetooth Core spec wording for MTUExceeded says the reject
identifier shall match the first request command in the packet, and
that packets containing only responses shall be silently discarded.
Linux intentionally deviates from that prescription: silently
discarding desynchronizes the peer because the remote stack never
learns its responses were dropped, and locating the first request
command requires walking command headers past MTUsig, i.e. processing
bytes from a packet we have already decided is too large to process.
We therefore always emit one reject and use the identifier from the
first command header, a single fixed-offset byte read.
The unrestricted BR/EDR signaling parser and ECHO_REQ response path both
trace to the initial git import; no later introducing commit is
available for a Fixes tag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_tunnel: fix use-after-free on object destroy
nft_tunnel_obj_destroy() calls metadata_dst_free() which directly
kfree()s the metadata_dst, ignoring the dst_entry refcount. Packets
that took a reference via dst_hold() in nft_tunnel_obj_eval() and
are still queued (e.g. in a netem qdisc) are left with a dangling
pointer. When these packets are eventually dequeued, dst_release()
operates on freed memory.
Replace metadata_dst_free() with dst_release() so the metadata_dst
is freed only after all references are dropped. The dst subsystem
already handles metadata_dst cleanup in dst_destroy() when
DST_METADATA is set.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: fix krealloc() memory leak
Don't just overwrite the original pointer passed to krealloc()
with its return value without checking latter:
MEM = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);
If krealloc() returns NULL, that erases the pointer
to the still allocated memory, hence leaks this memory.
Instead, use a temporary variable, check it's not NULL
and only then assign it to the original pointer:
TMP = krealloc(MEM, SZ, GFP);
if (!TMP) return;
MEM = TMP;
While on it, use krealloc_array().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in get_manuf_info()
get_manuf_info() reads le16_to_cpu(rom_desc->Size) bytes from the
device I2C EEPROM into a buffer allocated with kmalloc_obj(), which
is sizeof(struct edge_ti_manuf_descriptor) = 10 bytes.
The Size field comes from the device and is only validated (in
check_i2c_image()) to make sure the descriptor fits within
TI_MAX_I2C_SIZE (16384 bytes), not against the destination buffer size.
A malicious USB device can therefore set Size to any value up to 16377,
causing a heap overflow of up to 16367 bytes when plugged into a host
running this driver.
valid_csum() is called after read_rom() and also iterates
buffer[0..Size-1], compounding the out-of-bounds access.
Fix by rejecting descriptors with unexpected length before calling
read_rom().
[ johan: amend commit message; also check for short descriptors ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hv_netvsc: use kmap_local_page in netvsc_copy_to_send_buf
netvsc_copy_to_send_buf() copies page buffer entries into the VMBus
send buffer using phys_to_virt() on the entry PFN. Entries for the
RNDIS header and the skb linear data come from kmalloc'd memory and
are always in the kernel direct map, but entries for skb fragments
reference page cache or user pages, which on 32-bit x86 with
CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y can live above the LOWMEM boundary. For such a page
phys_to_virt() returns an address outside the direct map and the
subsequent memcpy() faults on the transmit softirq path, which is
fatal.
Map the pages with kmap_local_page() instead, handling two properties
of the page buffer entries:
- pb[i].pfn is a Hyper-V PFN at HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE (4K) granularity,
not a native PFN. Reconstruct the physical address first and derive
the native page from it, so the mapping stays correct where
PAGE_SIZE > HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE (e.g. arm64 with 64K pages).
- Since commit 41a6328b2c55 ("hv_netvsc: Preserve contiguous PFN
grouping in the page buffer array"), an entry describes a full
physically contiguous fragment and pb[i].len can exceed PAGE_SIZE,
while kmap_local_page() maps a single page. Copy page by page,
splitting at native page boundaries.
The copy path only handles packets smaller than the send section size
(6144 bytes by default); larger packets take the cp_partial path where
only the RNDIS header is copied. So entries here are bounded by the
section size and a copy is split at most once on 4K-page systems. On
!CONFIG_HIGHMEM configs kmap_local_page() folds to page_address() and
no mapping work is added.
