Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.28.2 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Check kzalloc() in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read()
If kzalloc() fails in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read(), then we rely on
lpfc_read_object()'s routine to NULL check pdata.
Currently, an early return error is thrown from lpfc_read_object() to
protect us from NULL ptr dereference, but the errno code is -ENODEV.
Change the errno code to a more appropriate -ENOMEM.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix WARNING in ip_vs_app_net_cleanup()
During the initialization of ip_vs_app_net_init(), if file ip_vs_app
fails to be created, the initialization is successful by default.
Therefore, the ip_vs_app file doesn't be found during the remove in
ip_vs_app_net_cleanup(). It will cause WRNING.
The following is the stack information:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: APEI: Fix integer overflow in ghes_estatus_pool_init()
Change num_ghes from int to unsigned int, preventing an overflow
and causing subsequent vmalloc() to fail.
The overflow happens in ghes_estatus_pool_init() when calculating
len during execution of the statement below as both multiplication
operands here are signed int:
len += (num_ghes * GHES_ESOURCE_PREALLOC_MAX_SIZE);
The following call trace is observed because of this bug:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix BUG_ON() when directory entry has invalid rec_len
The rec_len field in the directory entry has to be a multiple of 4. A
corrupted filesystem image can be used to hit a BUG() in
ext4_rec_len_to_disk(), called from make_indexed_dir().
