Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.10.234 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clone_private_mnt(): make sure that caller has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the right userns
What we want is to verify there is that clone won't expose something
hidden by a mount we wouldn't be able to undo. "Wouldn't be able to undo"
may be a result of MNT_LOCKED on a child, but it may also come from
lacking admin rights in the userns of the namespace mount belongs to.
clone_private_mnt() checks the former, but not the latter.
There's a number of rather confusing CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks in various
userns during the mount, especially with the new mount API; they serve
different purposes and in case of clone_private_mnt() they usually,
but not always end up covering the missing check mentioned above.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: eir: Fix using strlen with hdev->{dev_name,short_name}
Both dev_name and short_name are not guaranteed to be NULL terminated so
this instead use strnlen and then attempt to determine if the resulting
string needs to be truncated or not.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
do_change_type(): refuse to operate on unmounted/not ours mounts
Ensure that propagation settings can only be changed for mounts located
in the caller's mount namespace. This change aligns permission checking
with the rest of mount(2).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: do not bypass hid_hw_raw_request
hid_hw_raw_request() is actually useful to ensure the provided buffer
and length are valid. Directly calling in the low level transport driver
function bypassed those checks and allowed invalid paramto be used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: ensure the allocated report buffer can contain the reserved report ID
When the report ID is not used, the low level transport drivers expect
the first byte to be 0. However, currently the allocated buffer not
account for that extra byte, meaning that instead of having 8 guaranteed
bytes for implement to be working, we only have 7.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: configfs: Fix OOB read on empty string write
When writing an empty string to either 'qw_sign' or 'landingPage'
sysfs attributes, the store functions attempt to access page[l - 1]
before validating that the length 'l' is greater than zero.
This patch fixes the vulnerability by adding a check at the beginning
of os_desc_qw_sign_store() and webusb_landingPage_store() to handle
the zero-length input case gracefully by returning immediately.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: das6402: Fix bit shift out of bounds
When checking for a supported IRQ number, the following test is used:
/* IRQs 2,3,5,6,7, 10,11,15 are valid for "enhanced" mode */
if ((1 << it->options[1]) & 0x8cec) {
However, `it->options[i]` is an unchecked `int` value from userspace, so
the shift amount could be negative or out of bounds. Fix the test by
requiring `it->options[1]` to be within bounds before proceeding with
the original test. Valid `it->options[1]` values that select the IRQ
will be in the range [1,15]. The value 0 explicitly disables the use of
interrupts.
