Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.15.1 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: Avoid a bad reference count on CPU node
In the parse_perf_domain function, if the call to
of_parse_phandle_with_args returns an error, then the reference to the
CPU device node that was acquired at the start of the function would not
be properly decremented.
Address this by declaring the variable with the __free(device_node)
cleanup attribute.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix access to uninitialised lock in fc replay path
The following kernel trace can be triggered with fstest generic/629 when
executed against a filesystem with fast-commit feature enabled:
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
turning off the locking correctness validator.

In the replay path there's an attempt to lock sbi->s_bdev_wb_lock in
function ext4_check_bdev_write_error(). Unfortunately, at this point this
spinlock has not been initialized yet. Moving it's initialization to an
earlier point in __ext4_fill_super() fixes this splat.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpftool: Fix undefined behavior in qsort(NULL, 0, ...)
When netfilter has no entry to display, qsort is called with
qsort(NULL, 0, ...). This results in undefined behavior, as UBSan
reports:
net.c:827:2: runtime error: null pointer passed as argument 1, which is declared to never be null
Although the C standard does not explicitly state whether calling qsort
with a NULL pointer when the size is 0 constitutes undefined behavior,
Section 7.1.4 of the C standard (Use of library functions) mentions:
"Each of the following statements applies unless explicitly stated
otherwise in the detailed descriptions that follow: If an argument to a
function has an invalid value (such as a value outside the domain of
the function, or a pointer outside the address space of the program, or
a null pointer, or a pointer to non-modifiable storage when the
corresponding parameter is not const-qualified) or a type (after
promotion) not expected by a function with variable number of
arguments, the behavior is undefined."
To avoid this, add an early return when nf_link_info is NULL to prevent
calling qsort with a NULL pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: add refcnt to ksmbd_conn struct
When sending an oplock break request, opinfo->conn is used,
But freed ->conn can be used on multichannel.
This patch add a reference count to the ksmbd_conn struct
so that it can be freed when it is no longer used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix double free issue during amdgpu module unload
Flexible endpoints use DIGs from available inflexible endpoints,
so only the encoders of inflexible links need to be freed.
Otherwise, a double free issue may occur when unloading the
amdgpu module.

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.

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.
