Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.0.9 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: Fix potential memleak in dasd_eckd_init()
`dasd_reserve_req` is allocated before `dasd_vol_info_req`, and it
also needs to be freed before the error returns, just like the other
cases in this function.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
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:
platform/chrome: cros_usbpd_notify: Fix error handling in cros_usbpd_notify_init()
The following WARNING message was given when rmmod cros_usbpd_notify:

RIP: 0033:0x7f333fe9b1b7
The reason is that the cros_usbpd_notify_init() does not check the return
value of platform_driver_register(), and the cros_usbpd_notify can
install successfully even if platform_driver_register() failed.
Fix by checking the return value of platform_driver_register() and
unregister cros_usbpd_notify_plat_driver when it failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
MIPS: vpe-mt: fix possible memory leak while module exiting
Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
it need be freed when module exiting, call put_device() to give up
reference, so that it can be freed in kobject_cleanup() when the
refcount hit to 0. The vpe_device is static, so remove kfree() from
vpe_device_release().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/52xx: Fix a resource leak in an error handling path
The error handling path of mpc52xx_lpbfifo_probe() has a request_irq()
that is not balanced by a corresponding free_irq().
Add the missing call, as already done in the remove function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mt76: mt7915: Fix PCI device refcount leak in mt7915_pci_init_hif2()
As comment of pci_get_device() says, it returns a pci_device with its
refcount increased. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the
refcount. Save the return value of pci_get_device() and call
pci_dev_put() to decrease the refcount.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpiolib: cdev: fix NULL-pointer dereferences
There are several places where we can crash the kernel by requesting
lines, unbinding the GPIO device, then calling any of the system calls
relevant to the GPIO character device's annonymous file descriptors:
ioctl(), read(), poll().
While I observed it with the GPIO simulator, it will also happen for any
of the GPIO devices that can be hot-unplugged - for instance any HID GPIO
expander (e.g. CP2112).
This affects both v1 and v2 uAPI.
This fixes it partially by checking if gdev->chip is not NULL but it
doesn't entirely remedy the situation as we still have a race condition
in which another thread can remove the device after the check.
