Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix sync handling in amdgpu_dma_buf_move_notify
Invalidating a dmabuf will impact other users of the shared BO.
In the scenario where process A moves the BO, it needs to inform
process B about the move and process B will need to update its
page table.
The commit fixes a synchronisation bug caused by the use of the
ticket: it made amdgpu_vm_handle_moved behave as if updating
the page table immediately was correct but in this case it's not.
An example is the following scenario, with 2 GPUs and glxgears
running on GPU0 and Xorg running on GPU1, on a system where P2P
PCI isn't supported:
glxgears:
export linear buffer from GPU0 and import using GPU1
submit frame rendering to GPU0
submit tiled->linear blit
Xorg:
copy of linear buffer
The sequence of jobs would be:
drm_sched_job_run # GPU0, frame rendering
drm_sched_job_queue # GPU0, blit
drm_sched_job_done # GPU0, frame rendering
drm_sched_job_run # GPU0, blit
move linear buffer for GPU1 access #
amdgpu_dma_buf_move_notify -> update pt # GPU0
It this point the blit job on GPU0 is still running and would
likely produce a page fault.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: spidev: fix lock inversion between spi_lock and buf_lock
The spidev driver previously used two mutexes, spi_lock and buf_lock,
but acquired them in different orders depending on the code path:
write()/read(): buf_lock -> spi_lock
ioctl(): spi_lock -> buf_lock
This AB-BA locking pattern triggers lockdep warnings and can
cause real deadlocks:
WARNING: possible circular locking dependency detected
spidev_ioctl() -> mutex_lock(&spidev->buf_lock)
spidev_sync_write() -> mutex_lock(&spidev->spi_lock)
*** DEADLOCK ***
The issue is reproducible with a simple userspace program that
performs write() and SPI_IOC_WR_MAX_SPEED_HZ ioctl() calls from
separate threads on the same spidev file descriptor.
Fix this by simplifying the locking model and removing the lock
inversion entirely. spidev_sync() no longer performs any locking,
and all callers serialize access using spi_lock.
buf_lock is removed since its functionality is fully covered by
spi_lock, eliminating the possibility of lock ordering issues.
This removes the lock inversion and prevents deadlocks without
changing userspace ABI or behaviour.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/fair: Fix zero_vruntime tracking fix
John reported that stress-ng-yield could make his machine unhappy and
managed to bisect it to commit b3d99f43c72b ("sched/fair: Fix
zero_vruntime tracking").
The combination of yield and that commit was specific enough to
hypothesize the following scenario:
Suppose we have 2 runnable tasks, both doing yield. Then one will be
eligible and one will not be, because the average position must be in
between these two entities.
Therefore, the runnable task will be eligible, and be promoted a full
slice (all the tasks do is yield after all). This causes it to jump over
the other task and now the other task is eligible and current is no
longer. So we schedule.
Since we are runnable, there is no {de,en}queue. All we have is the
__{en,de}queue_entity() from {put_prev,set_next}_task(). But per the
fingered commit, those two no longer move zero_vruntime.
All that moves zero_vruntime are tick and full {de,en}queue.
This means, that if the two tasks playing leapfrog can reach the
critical speed to reach the overflow point inside one tick's worth of
time, we're up a creek.
Additionally, when multiple cgroups are involved, there is no guarantee
the tick will in fact hit every cgroup in a timely manner. Statistically
speaking it will, but that same statistics does not rule out the
possibility of one cgroup not getting a tick for a significant amount of
time -- however unlikely.
Therefore, just like with the yield() case, force an update at the end
of every slice. This ensures the update is never more than a single
slice behind and the whole thing is within 2 lag bounds as per the
comment on entity_key().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc/tegra: pmc: Fix unsafe generic_handle_irq() call
Currently, when resuming from system suspend on Tegra platforms,
the following warning is observed:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 14459 at kernel/irq/irqdesc.c:666
Call trace:
handle_irq_desc+0x20/0x58 (P)
tegra186_pmc_wake_syscore_resume+0xe4/0x15c
syscore_resume+0x3c/0xb8
suspend_devices_and_enter+0x510/0x540
pm_suspend+0x16c/0x1d8
The warning occurs because generic_handle_irq() is being called from
a non-interrupt context which is considered as unsafe.
Fix this warning by deferring generic_handle_irq() call to an IRQ work
which gets executed in hard IRQ context where generic_handle_irq()
can be called safely.
When PREEMPT_RT kernels are used, regular IRQ work (initialized with
init_irq_work) is deferred to run in per-CPU kthreads in preemptible
context rather than hard IRQ context. Hence, use the IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD
variant so that with PREEMPT_RT kernels, the IRQ work is processed in
hardirq context instead of being deferred to a thread which is required
for calling generic_handle_irq().
On non-PREEMPT_RT kernels, both init_irq_work() and IRQ_WORK_INIT_HARD()
execute in IRQ context, so this change has no functional impact for
standard kernel configurations.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: i2c: ov5647: Initialize subdev before controls
In ov5647_init_controls() we call v4l2_get_subdevdata, but it is
initialized by v4l2_i2c_subdev_init() in the probe, which currently
happens after init_controls(). This can result in a segfault if the
error condition is hit, and we try to access i2c_client, so fix the
order.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: processor: Fix NULL-pointer dereference in acpi_processor_errata_piix4()
In acpi_processor_errata_piix4(), the pointer dev is first assigned an IDE
device and then reassigned an ISA device:
dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB, ...);
dev = pci_get_subsys(..., PCI_DEVICE_ID_INTEL_82371AB_0, ...);
If the first lookup succeeds but the second fails, dev becomes NULL. This
leads to a potential null-pointer dereference when dev_dbg() is called:
if (errata.piix4.bmisx)
dev_dbg(&dev->dev, ...);
To prevent this, use two temporary pointers and retrieve each device
independently, avoiding overwriting dev with a possible NULL value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: remove fake timeout to avoid leak request
Since commit 15f73f5b3e59 ("blk-mq: move failure injection out of
blk_mq_complete_request"), drivers are responsible for calling
blk_should_fake_timeout() at appropriate code paths and opportunities.
However, the dm driver does not implement its own timeout handler and
relies on the timeout handling of its slave devices.
If an io-timeout-fail error is injected to a dm device, the request
will be leaked and never completed, causing tasks to hang indefinitely.
Reproduce:
1. prepare dm which has iscsi slave device
2. inject io-timeout-fail to dm
echo 1 >/sys/class/block/dm-0/io-timeout-fail
echo 100 >/sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout/probability
echo 10 >/sys/kernel/debug/fail_io_timeout/times
3. read/write dm
4. iscsiadm -m node -u
