Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.16.12 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: stop qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog on TC_H_ROOT
In qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog, Qdiscs with major handle ffff: are assumed
to be either root or ingress. This assumption is bogus since it's valid
to create egress qdiscs with major handle ffff:
Budimir Markovic found that for qdiscs like DRR that maintain an active
class list, it will cause a UAF with a dangling class pointer.
In 066a3b5b2346, the concern was to avoid iterating over the ingress
qdisc since its parent is itself. The proper fix is to stop when parent
TC_H_ROOT is reached because the only way to retrieve ingress is when a
hierarchy which does not contain a ffff: major handle call into
qdisc_lookup with TC_H_MAJ(TC_H_ROOT).
In the scenario where major ffff: is an egress qdisc in any of the tree
levels, the updates will also propagate to TC_H_ROOT, which then the
iteration must stop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: prevent NULL pointer dereference if ATIF is not supported
acpi_evaluate_object() may return AE_NOT_FOUND (failure), which
would result in dereferencing buffer.pointer (obj) while being NULL.
Although this case may be unrealistic for the current code, it is
still better to protect against possible bugs.
Bail out also when status is AE_NOT_FOUND.
This fixes 1 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity
Report: CID 1600951: Null pointer dereferences (FORWARD_NULL)
(cherry picked from commit 91c9e221fe2553edf2db71627d8453f083de87a1)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: properly validate chunk size in sctp_sf_ootb()
A size validation fix similar to that in Commit 50619dbf8db7 ("sctp: add
size validation when walking chunks") is also required in sctp_sf_ootb()
to address a crash reported by syzbot:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix a crash if blk_alloc_disk fails
If blk_alloc_disk fails, the variable md->disk is set to an error value.
cleanup_mapped_device will see that md->disk is non-NULL and it will
attempt to access it, causing a crash on this statement
"md->disk->private_data = NULL;".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix slab-use-after-free in smb3_preauth_hash_rsp
ksmbd_user_session_put should be called under smb3_preauth_hash_rsp().
It will avoid freeing session before calling smb3_preauth_hash_rsp().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: check outstanding simultaneous SMB operations
If Client send simultaneous SMB operations to ksmbd, It exhausts too much
memory through the "ksmbd_work_cache”. It will cause OOM issue.
ksmbd has a credit mechanism but it can't handle this problem. This patch
add the check if it exceeds max credits to prevent this problem by assuming
that one smb request consumes at least one credit.

Reproducer uses faultinject facility to fail ocfs2_xa_remove() ->
ocfs2_xa_value_truncate() with -ENOMEM.
In this case the comment mentions that we can return 0 if
ocfs2_xa_cleanup_value_truncate() is going to wipe the entry
anyway. But the following 'rc' check is wrong and execution flow do
'ocfs2_xa_remove_entry(loc);' twice:
* 1st: in ocfs2_xa_cleanup_value_truncate();
* 2nd: returning back to ocfs2_xa_remove() instead of going to 'out'.
Fix this by skipping the 2nd removal of the same entry and making
syzkaller repro happy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix possible UAF in amdgpu_cs_pass1()
Since the gang_size check is outside of chunk parsing
loop, we need to reset i before we free the chunk data.
