Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.17.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k_htc: Use __skb_set_length() for resetting urb before resubmit
Syzbot points out that skb_trim() has a sanity check on the existing length of
the skb, which can be uninitialised in some error paths. The intent here is
clearly just to reset the length to zero before resubmitting, so switch to
calling __skb_set_length(skb, 0) directly. In addition, __skb_set_length()
already contains a call to skb_reset_tail_pointer(), so remove the redundant
call.
The syzbot report came from ath9k_hif_usb_reg_in_cb(), but there's a similar
usage of skb_trim() in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb(), change both while we're at it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: avoid to add interface to list twice when SER
If SER L2 occurs during the WoWLAN resume flow, the add interface flow
is triggered by ieee80211_reconfig(). However, due to
rtw89_wow_resume() return failure, it will cause the add interface flow
to be executed again, resulting in a double add list and causing a kernel
panic. Therefore, we have added a check to prevent double adding of the
list.
list_add double add: new=ffff99d6992e2010, prev=ffff99d6992e2010, next=ffff99d695302628.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
l2tp: prevent possible tunnel refcount underflow
When a session is created, it sets a backpointer to its tunnel. When
the session refcount drops to 0, l2tp_session_free drops the tunnel
refcount if session->tunnel is non-NULL. However, session->tunnel is
set in l2tp_session_create, before the tunnel refcount is incremented
by l2tp_session_register, which leaves a small window where
session->tunnel is non-NULL when the tunnel refcount hasn't been
bumped.
Moving the assignment to l2tp_session_register is trivial but
l2tp_session_create calls l2tp_session_set_header_len which uses
session->tunnel to get the tunnel's encap. Add an encap arg to
l2tp_session_set_header_len to avoid using session->tunnel.
If l2tpv3 sessions have colliding IDs, it is possible for
l2tp_v3_session_get to race with l2tp_session_register and fetch a
session which doesn't yet have session->tunnel set. Add a check for
this case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check for head_pipe in dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer
This commit addresses a potential null pointer dereference issue in the
`dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer` function. The issue
could occur when `head_pipe` is null.
The fix adds a check to ensure `head_pipe` is not null before asserting
it. If `head_pipe` is null, the function returns NULL to prevent a
potential null pointer dereference.
Reported by smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/resource/dcn32/dcn32_resource.c:2690 dcn32_acquire_idle_pipe_for_head_pipe_in_layer() error: we previously assumed 'head_pipe' could be null (see line 2681)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointers before multiple uses
[WHAT & HOW]
Poniters, such as stream_enc and dc->bw_vbios, are null checked previously
in the same function, so Coverity warns "implies that stream_enc and
dc->bw_vbios might be null". They are used multiple times in the
subsequent code and need to be checked.
This fixes 10 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointers before used
[WHAT & HOW]
Poniters, such as dc->clk_mgr, are null checked previously in the same
function, so Coverity warns "implies that "dc->clk_mgr" might be null".
As a result, these pointers need to be checked when used again.
This fixes 10 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointers before using them
[WHAT & HOW]
These pointers are null checked previously in the same function,
indicating they might be null as reported by Coverity. As a result,
they need to be checked when used again.
This fixes 3 FORWARD_NULL issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Pass non-null to dcn20_validate_apply_pipe_split_flags
[WHAT & HOW]
"dcn20_validate_apply_pipe_split_flags" dereferences merge, and thus it
cannot be a null pointer. Let's pass a valid pointer to avoid null
dereference.
This fixes 2 FORWARD_NULL issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: pxafb: Fix possible use after free in pxafb_task()
In the pxafb_probe function, it calls the pxafb_init_fbinfo function,
after which &fbi->task is associated with pxafb_task. Moreover,
within this pxafb_init_fbinfo function, the pxafb_blank function
within the &pxafb_ops struct is capable of scheduling work.
If we remove the module which will call pxafb_remove to make cleanup,
it will call unregister_framebuffer function which can call
do_unregister_framebuffer to free fbi->fb through
put_fb_info(fb_info), while the work mentioned above will be used.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| pxafb_task
pxafb_remove |
unregister_framebuffer(info) |
do_unregister_framebuffer(fb_info) |
put_fb_info(fb_info) |
// free fbi->fb | set_ctrlr_state(fbi, state)
| __pxafb_lcd_power(fbi, 0)
| fbi->lcd_power(on, &fbi->fb.var)
| //use fbi->fb
Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding
with the cleanup in pxafb_remove.
Note that only root user can remove the driver at runtime.
