Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.4 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/stm: Avoid use-after-free issues with crtc and plane
ltdc_load() calls functions drm_crtc_init_with_planes(),
drm_universal_plane_init() and drm_encoder_init(). These functions
should not be called with parameters allocated with devm_kzalloc()
to avoid use-after-free issues [1].
Use allocations managed by the DRM framework.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix integer overflow in BLKSECDISCARD
I independently rediscovered
commit 22d24a544b0d49bbcbd61c8c0eaf77d3c9297155
block: fix overflow in blk_ioctl_discard()
but for secure erase.
Same problem:
uint64_t r[2] = {512, 18446744073709551104ULL};
ioctl(fd, BLKSECDISCARD, r);
will enter near infinite loop inside blkdev_issue_secure_erase():

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Increase array size of dummy_boolean
[WHY]
dml2_core_shared_mode_support and dml_core_mode_support access the third
element of dummy_boolean, i.e. hw_debug5 = &s->dummy_boolean[2], when
dummy_boolean has size of 2. Any assignment to hw_debug5 causes an
OVERRUN.
[HOW]
Increase dummy_boolean's array size to 3.
This fixes 2 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Deallocate DML memory if allocation fails
[Why]
When DC state create DML memory allocation fails, memory is not
deallocated subsequently, resulting in uninitialized structure
that is not NULL.
[How]
Deallocate memory if DML memory allocation fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Limit the number of concurrent async COPY operations
Nothing appears to limit the number of concurrent async COPY
operations that clients can start. In addition, AFAICT each async
COPY can copy an unlimited number of 4MB chunks, so can run for a
long time. Thus IMO async COPY can become a DoS vector.
Add a restriction mechanism that bounds the number of concurrent
background COPY operations. Start simple and try to be fair -- this
patch implements a per-namespace limit.
An async COPY request that occurs while this limit is exceeded gets
NFS4ERR_DELAY. The requesting client can choose to send the request
again after a delay or fall back to a traditional read/write style
copy.
If there is need to make the mechanism more sophisticated, we can
visit that in future patches.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount
Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super
The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer,
which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should
guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi).
When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3,
where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing
a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function
that ultimately re-arms the timer,
leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called.
Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: check null return of ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED() in acpi_db_convert_to_package()
ACPICA commit 4d4547cf13cca820ff7e0f859ba83e1a610b9fd0
ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED() may fail, elements might be NULL and will cause
NULL pointer dereference later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: filesystems without casefold feature cannot be mounted with siphash
When mounting the ext4 filesystem, if the default hash version is set to
DX_HASH_SIPHASH but the casefold feature is not set, exit the mounting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix index out of bounds in DCN30 color transformation
This commit addresses a potential index out of bounds issue in the
`cm3_helper_translate_curve_to_hw_format` function in the DCN30 color
management module. The issue could occur when the index 'i' exceeds the
number of transfer function points (TRANSFER_FUNC_POINTS).
The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the
transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, the function returns
false to indicate an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Implement bounds check for stream encoder creation in DCN401
'stream_enc_regs' array is an array of dcn10_stream_enc_registers
structures. The array is initialized with four elements, corresponding
to the four calls to stream_enc_regs() in the array initializer. This
means that valid indices for this array are 0, 1, 2, and 3.
The error message 'stream_enc_regs' 4 <= 5 below, is indicating that
there is an attempt to access this array with an index of 5, which is
out of bounds. This could lead to undefined behavior
Here, eng_id is used as an index to access the stream_enc_regs array. If
eng_id is 5, this would result in an out-of-bounds access on the
stream_enc_regs array.
Thus fixing Buffer overflow error in dcn401_stream_encoder_create
Found by smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/resource/dcn401/dcn401_resource.c:1209 dcn401_stream_encoder_create() error: buffer overflow 'stream_enc_regs' 4 <= 5
