Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.4.43 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: vme_user: Fix possible UAF in tsi148_dma_list_add
Smatch report warning as follows:
drivers/staging/vme_user/vme_tsi148.c:1757 tsi148_dma_list_add() warn:
'&entry->list' not removed from list
In tsi148_dma_list_add(), the error path "goto err_dma" will not
remove entry->list from list->entries, but entry will be freed,
then list traversal may cause UAF.
Fix by removeing it from list->entries before free().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS: Fix an Oops in nfs_d_automount()
When mounting from a NFSv4 referral, path->dentry can end up being a
negative dentry, so derive the struct nfs_server from the dentry
itself instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix multipath crash caused by flush request when blktrace is enabled
The flush request initialized by blk_kick_flush has NULL bio,
and it may be dealt with nvme_end_req during io completion.
When blktrace is enabled, nvme_trace_bio_complete with multipath
activated trying to access NULL pointer bio from flush request
results in the following crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tpm: tpm_crb: Add the missed acpi_put_table() to fix memory leak
In crb_acpi_add(), we get the TPM2 table to retrieve information
like start method, and then assign them to the priv data, so the
TPM2 table is not used after the init, should be freed, call
acpi_put_table() to fix the memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: serial: fsl_lpuart: disable dma rx/tx use flags in lpuart_dma_shutdown
lpuart_dma_shutdown tears down lpuart dma, but lpuart_flush_buffer can
still occur which in turn tries to access dma apis if lpuart_dma_tx_use
flag is true. At this point since dma is torn down, these dma apis can
abort. Set lpuart_dma_tx_use and the corresponding rx flag
lpuart_dma_rx_use to false in lpuart_dma_shutdown so that dmas are not
accessed after they are relinquished.
Otherwise, when try to kill btattach, kernel may panic. This patch may
fix this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix race between quota enable and quota rescan ioctl
When enabling quotas, at btrfs_quota_enable(), after committing the
transaction, we change fs_info->quota_root to point to the quota root we
created and set BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED at fs_info->flags. Then we try
to start the qgroup rescan worker, first by initializing it with a call
to qgroup_rescan_init() - however if that fails we end up freeing the
quota root but we leave fs_info->quota_root still pointing to it, this
can later result in a use-after-free somewhere else.
We have previously set the flags BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED and
BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_ON, so we can only fail with -EINPROGRESS at
btrfs_quota_enable(), which is possible if someone already called the
quota rescan ioctl, and therefore started the rescan worker.
So fix this by ignoring an -EINPROGRESS and asserting we can't get any
other error.
