Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.33.9 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: hfsc: Fix a potential UAF in hfsc_dequeue() too
Similarly to the previous patch, we need to safe guard hfsc_dequeue()
too. But for this one, we don't have a reliable reproducer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix WARNING "do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING"
wait_event_timeout() will set the state of the current
task to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, before doing the condition check. This
means that ksmbd_durable_scavenger_alive() will try to acquire the mutex
while already in a sleeping state. The scheduler warns us by giving
the following warning:
do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=2 set at
[<0000000061515a6f>] prepare_to_wait_event+0x9f/0x6c0
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 4147 at kernel/sched/core.c:10099 __might_sleep+0x12f/0x160

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sound/virtio: Fix cancel_sync warnings on uninitialized work_structs
Betty reported hitting the following warning:
[ 8.709131][ T221] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 221 at kernel/workqueue.c:4182
...
[ 8.713282][ T221] Call trace:

[ 8.714139][ T221] really_probe+0x1bc/0x4c8
...
It seems we're hitting the error path in virtsnd_probe(), which
triggers a virtsnd_remove() which iterates over the substreams
calling cancel_work_sync() on the elapsed_period work_struct.
Looking at the code, from earlier in:
virtsnd_probe()->virtsnd_build_devs()->virtsnd_pcm_parse_cfg()
We set snd->nsubstreams, allocate the snd->substreams, and if
we then hit an error on the info allocation or something in
virtsnd_ctl_query_info() fails, we will exit without having
initialized the elapsed_period work_struct.
When that error path unwinds we then call virtsnd_remove()
which as long as the substreams array is allocated, will iterate
through calling cancel_work_sync() on the uninitialized work
struct hitting this warning.
Takashi Iwai suggested this fix, which initializes the substreams
structure right after allocation, so that if we hit the error
paths we avoid trying to cleanup uninitialized data.
Note: I have not yet managed to reproduce the issue myself, so
this patch has had limited testing.
Feedback or thoughts would be appreciated!

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix kmemleak warning for percpu hashmap
Vlad Poenaru reported the following kmemleak issue:
unreferenced object 0x606fd7c44ac8 (size 32):
backtrace (crc 0):
pcpu_alloc_noprof+0x730/0xeb0
bpf_map_alloc_percpu+0x69/0xc0
prealloc_init+0x9d/0x1b0

__x64_sys_bpf+0x18/0x20
do_syscall_64+0x7b/0x150
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x4b/0x53
Further investigation shows the reason is due to not 8-byte aligned
store of percpu pointer in htab_elem_set_ptr():
*(void __percpu **)(l->key + key_size) = pptr;
Note that the whole htab_elem alignment is 8 (for x86_64). If the key_size
is 4, that means pptr is stored in a location which is 4 byte aligned but
not 8 byte aligned. In mm/kmemleak.c, scan_block() scans the memory based
on 8 byte stride, so it won't detect above pptr, hence reporting the memory
leak.
In htab_map_alloc(), we already have
htab->elem_size = sizeof(struct htab_elem) +
round_up(htab->map.key_size, 8);
if (percpu)
htab->elem_size += sizeof(void *);
else
htab->elem_size += round_up(htab->map.value_size, 8);
So storing pptr with 8-byte alignment won't cause any problem and can fix
kmemleak too.
The issue can be reproduced with bpf selftest as well:
1. Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK config
2. Add a getchar() before skel destroy in test_hash_map() in prog_tests/for_each.c.
The purpose is to keep map available so kmemleak can be detected.
3. run './test_progs -t for_each/hash_map &' and a kmemleak should be reported.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in dev_uevent()
If userspace reads "uevent" device attribute at the same time as another
threads unbinds the device from its driver, change to dev->driver from a
valid pointer to NULL may result in crash. Fix this by using READ_ONCE()
when fetching the pointer, and take bus' drivers klist lock to make sure
driver instance will not disappear while we access it.
Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting the driver pointer to ensure there is no
tearing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Fix WRITE_SAME No Data Buffer crash
In newer version of the SBC specs, we have a NDOB bit that indicates there
is no data buffer that gets written out. If this bit is set using commands
like "sg_write_same --ndob" we will crash in target_core_iblock/file's
execute_write_same handlers when we go to access the se_cmd->t_data_sg
because its NULL.
This patch adds a check for the NDOB bit in the common WRITE SAME code
because we don't support it. And, it adds a check for zero SG elements in
each handler in case the initiator tries to send a normal WRITE SAME with
no data buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier
Remove the /proc/scsi/${proc_name} directory earlier to fix a race
condition between unloading and reloading kernel modules. This fixes a bug
introduced in 2009 by commit 77c019768f06 ("[SCSI] fix /proc memory leak in
the SCSI core").
