Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.17.1 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atm: fix /proc/net/atm/lec handling
/proc/net/atm/lec must ensure safety against dev_lec[] changes.
It appears it had dev_put() calls without prior dev_hold(),
leading to imbalance and UAF.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sch_hfsc: make hfsc_qlen_notify() idempotent
hfsc_qlen_notify() is not idempotent either and not friendly
to its callers, like fq_codel_dequeue(). Let's make it idempotent
to ease qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() callers' life:
1. update_vf() decreases cl->cl_nactive, so we can check whether it is
non-zero before calling it.
2. eltree_remove() always removes RB node cl->el_node, but we can use
RB_EMPTY_NODE() + RB_CLEAR_NODE() to make it safe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thunderbolt: Do not double dequeue a configuration request
Some of our devices crash in tb_cfg_request_dequeue():
general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdead000000000122
CPU: 6 PID: 91007 Comm: kworker/6:2 Tainted: G U W 6.6.65
RIP: 0010:tb_cfg_request_dequeue+0x2d/0xa0

The circumstances are unclear, however, the theory is that
tb_cfg_request_work() can be scheduled twice for a request:
first time via frame.callback from ring_work() and second
time from tb_cfg_request(). Both times kworkers will execute
tb_cfg_request_dequeue(), which results in double list_del()
from the ctl->request_queue (the list poison deference hints
at it: 0xdead000000000122).
Do not dequeue requests that don't have TB_CFG_REQUEST_ACTIVE
bit set.

The reason is: in fuzzed image, sbi->total_valid_block_count is
inconsistent w/ mapped blocks indexed by inode, so, we should
not trigger panic for such case, instead, let's print log and
set fsck flag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: Abort software beacon handling if disabled
A malicious USB device can send a WMI_SWBA_EVENTID event from an
ath9k_htc-managed device before beaconing has been enabled. This causes
a device-by-zero error in the driver, leading to either a crash or an
out of bounds read.
Prevent this by aborting the handling in ath9k_htc_swba() if beacons are
not enabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: renesas_usbhs: Reorder clock handling and power management in probe
Reorder the initialization sequence in `usbhs_probe()` to enable runtime
PM before accessing registers, preventing potential crashes due to
uninitialized clocks.
Currently, in the probe path, registers are accessed before enabling the
clocks, leading to a synchronous external abort on the RZ/V2H SoC.
The problematic call flow is as follows:
usbhs_probe()
usbhs_sys_clock_ctrl()
usbhs_bset()
usbhs_write()
iowrite16() <-- Register access before enabling clocks
Since `iowrite16()` is performed without ensuring the required clocks are
enabled, this can lead to access errors. To fix this, enable PM runtime
early in the probe function and ensure clocks are acquired before register
access, preventing crashes like the following on RZ/V2H:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: ufs: Fix a hang in the error handler
ufshcd_err_handling_prepare() calls ufshcd_rpm_get_sync(). The latter
function can only succeed if UFSHCD_EH_IN_PROGRESS is not set because
resuming involves submitting a SCSI command and ufshcd_queuecommand()
returns SCSI_MLQUEUE_HOST_BUSY if UFSHCD_EH_IN_PROGRESS is set. Fix this
hang by setting UFSHCD_EH_IN_PROGRESS after ufshcd_rpm_get_sync() has
been called instead of before.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Kill timer properly at removal
The USB-audio MIDI code initializes the timer, but in a rare case, the
driver might be freed without the disconnect call. This leaves the
timer in an active state while the assigned object is released via
snd_usbmidi_free(), which ends up with a kernel warning when the debug
configuration is enabled, as spotted by fuzzer.
For avoiding the problem, put timer_shutdown_sync() at
snd_usbmidi_free(), so that the timer can be killed properly.
While we're at it, replace the existing timer_delete_sync() at the
disconnect callback with timer_shutdown_sync(), too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: don't warn when if there is a FW error
iwl_trans_reclaim is warning if it is called when the FW is not alive.
But if it is called when there is a pending restart, i.e. after a FW
error, there is no need to warn, instead - return silently.
