Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.16.12 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/task_stack: fix object_is_on_stack() for KASAN tagged pointers
When CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS and CONFIG_KASAN_STACK are enabled, the
object_is_on_stack() function may produce incorrect results due to the
presence of tags in the obj pointer, while the stack pointer does not have
tags. This discrepancy can lead to incorrect stack object detection and
subsequently trigger warnings if CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS is also enabled.
Example of the warning:
ODEBUG: object 3eff800082ea7bb0 is NOT on stack ffff800082ea0000, but annotated.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/CPU/AMD: Clear virtualized VMLOAD/VMSAVE on Zen4 client
A number of Zen4 client SoCs advertise the ability to use virtualized
VMLOAD/VMSAVE, but using these instructions is reported to be a cause
of a random host reboot.
These instructions aren't intended to be advertised on Zen4 client
so clear the capability.

At some point, the IEEE ID identification for the replay check in the
AMD EDID was added. However, this check causes the following
out-of-bounds issues when using KASAN:

[ 27.821268] ==================================================================
This is caused because the ID extraction happens outside of the range of
the edid lenght. This commit addresses this issue by considering the
amd_vsdb_block size.

When 'ioctl(OCFS2_IOC_GROUP_ADD, ...)' has failed for the particular
inode in 'ocfs2_verify_group_and_input()', corresponding buffer head
remains cached and subsequent call to the same 'ioctl()' for the same
inode issues the BUG() in 'ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate()' (trying
to cache the same buffer head of that inode). Fix this by uncaching
the buffer head with 'ocfs2_remove_from_cache()' on error path in
'ocfs2_group_add()'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: Fix uninitialized value issue in from_kuid and from_kgid
ocfs2_setattr() uses attr->ia_mode, attr->ia_uid and attr->ia_gid in
a trace point even though ATTR_MODE, ATTR_UID and ATTR_GID aren't set.
Initialize all fields of newattrs to avoid uninitialized variables, by
checking if ATTR_MODE, ATTR_UID, ATTR_GID are initialized, otherwise 0.

bpf: Check validity of link->type in bpf_link_show_fdinfo()
If a newly-added link type doesn't invoke BPF_LINK_TYPE(), accessing
bpf_link_type_strs[link->type] may result in an out-of-bounds access.
To spot such missed invocations early in the future, checking the
validity of link->type in bpf_link_show_fdinfo() and emitting a warning
when such invocations are missed.
