Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.36 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too
Commit af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part
3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so
the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that
protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);"
call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the
reason why we do not see lots of these reports.
Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P.
Until the above is investigated, stay on the safe side and move this
dereference to the if too.
I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID 1585130. Thanks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: fix ppp_async_encode() illegal access
syzbot reported an issue in ppp_async_encode() [1]
In this case, pppoe_sendmsg() is called with a zero size.
Then ppp_async_encode() is called with an empty skb.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xtables: avoid NFPROTO_UNSPEC where needed
syzbot managed to call xt_cluster match via ebtables:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at net/netfilter/xt_cluster.c:72 xt_cluster_mt+0x196/0x780
[..]
ebt_do_table+0x174b/0x2a40
Module registers to NFPROTO_UNSPEC, but it assumes ipv4/ipv6 packet
processing. As this is only useful to restrict locally terminating
TCP/UDP traffic, register this for ipv4 and ipv6 family only.
Pablo points out that this is a general issue, direct users of the
set/getsockopt interface can call into targets/matches that were only
intended for use with ip(6)tables.
Check all UNSPEC matches and targets for similar issues:
- matches and targets are fine except if they assume skb_network_header()
is valid -- this is only true when called from inet layer: ip(6) stack
pulls the ip/ipv6 header into linear data area.
- targets that return XT_CONTINUE or other xtables verdicts must be
restricted too, they are incompatbile with the ebtables traverser, e.g.
EBT_CONTINUE is a completely different value than XT_CONTINUE.
Most matches/targets are changed to register for NFPROTO_IPV4/IPV6, as
they are provided for use by ip(6)tables.
The MARK target is also used by arptables, so register for NFPROTO_ARP too.
While at it, bail out if connbytes fails to enable the corresponding
conntrack family.
This change passes the selftests in iptables.git.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: accept TCA_STAB only for root qdisc
Most qdiscs maintain their backlog using qdisc_pkt_len(skb)
on the assumption it is invariant between the enqueue()
and dequeue() handlers.
Unfortunately syzbot can crash a host rather easily using
a TBF + SFQ combination, with an STAB on SFQ [1]
We can't support TCA_STAB on arbitrary level, this would
require to maintain per-qdisc storage.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/9p: Fix a potential socket leak in p9_socket_open
Both p9_fd_create_tcp() and p9_fd_create_unix() will call
p9_socket_open(). If the creation of p9_trans_fd fails,
p9_fd_create_tcp() and p9_fd_create_unix() will return an
error directly instead of releasing the cscoket, which will
result in a socket leak.
This patch adds sock_release() to fix the leak issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Free buffers when a used dynamic event is removed
After 65536 dynamic events have been added and removed, the "type" field
of the event then uses the first type number that is available (not
currently used by other events). A type number is the identifier of the
binary blobs in the tracing ring buffer (known as events) to map them to
logic that can parse the binary blob.
The issue is that if a dynamic event (like a kprobe event) is traced and
is in the ring buffer, and then that event is removed (because it is
dynamic, which means it can be created and destroyed), if another dynamic
event is created that has the same number that new event's logic on
parsing the binary blob will be used.
To show how this can be an issue, the following can crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# for i in `seq 65536`; do
echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 $arg1:u32' > kprobe_events
# done
For every iteration of the above, the writing to the kprobe_events will
remove the old event and create a new one (with the same format) and
increase the type number to the next available on until the type number
reaches over 65535 which is the max number for the 16 bit type. After it
reaches that number, the logic to allocate a new number simply looks for
the next available number. When an dynamic event is removed, that number
is then available to be reused by the next dynamic event created. That is,
once the above reaches the max number, the number assigned to the event in
that loop will remain the same.
Now that means deleting one dynamic event and created another will reuse
the previous events type number. This is where bad things can happen.
After the above loop finishes, the kprobes/foo event which reads the
do_sys_openat2 function call's first parameter as an integer.
# echo 1 > kprobes/foo/enable
# cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
# cat trace
cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849603: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196

Now if we delete the kprobe and create a new one that reads a string:
# echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 +0($arg2):string' > kprobe_events
And now we can the trace:
