Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.49 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tls: fix kernel panic when alloc_page failed
We cannot set frag_list to NULL pointer when alloc_page failed.
It will be used in tls_strp_check_queue_ok when the next time
tls_strp_read_sock is called.
This is because we don't reset full_len in tls_strp_flush_anchor_copy()
so the recv path will try to continue handling the partial record
on the next call but we dettached the rcvq from the frag list.
Alternative fix would be to reset full_len.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_router: Fix use-after-free when deleting GRE net devices
The driver only offloads neighbors that are constructed on top of net
devices registered by it or their uppers (which are all Ethernet). The
device supports GRE encapsulation and decapsulation of forwarded
traffic, but the driver will not offload dummy neighbors constructed on
top of GRE net devices as they are not uppers of its net devices:
# ip link add name gre1 up type gre tos inherit local 192.0.2.1 remote 198.51.100.1
# ip neigh add 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 nud noarp dev gre1
$ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 NOARP
(Note that the neighbor is not marked with 'offload')
When the driver is reloaded and the existing configuration is replayed,
the driver does not perform the same check regarding existing neighbors
and offloads the previously added one:
# devlink dev reload pci/0000:01:00.0
$ ip neigh show dev gre1 nud noarp
0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 offload NOARP
If the neighbor is later deleted, the driver will ignore the
notification (given the GRE net device is not its upper) and will
therefore keep referencing freed memory, resulting in a use-after-free
[1] when the net device is deleted:
# ip neigh del 0.0.0.0 lladdr 0.0.0.0 dev gre1
# ip link del dev gre1
Fix by skipping neighbor replay if the net device for which the replay
is performed is not our upper.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Disable MACsec offload for uplink representor profile
MACsec offload is not supported in switchdev mode for uplink
representors. When switching to the uplink representor profile, the
MACsec offload feature must be cleared from the netdevice's features.
If left enabled, attempts to add offloads result in a null pointer
dereference, as the uplink representor does not support MACsec offload
even though the feature bit remains set.
Clear NETIF_F_HW_MACSEC in mlx5e_fix_uplink_rep_features().

This problem is similar to the problem that the
commit 1d6a9e7449e2 ("RDMA/core: Fix use-after-free when rename device name")
fixes.
The root cause is: the function ib_device_rename() renames the name with
lock. But in the function kobject_uevent(), this name is accessed without
lock protection at the same time.
The solution is to add the lock protection when this name is accessed in
the function kobject_uevent().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/page_alloc: fix race condition in unaccepted memory handling
The page allocator tracks the number of zones that have unaccepted memory
using static_branch_enc/dec() and uses that static branch in hot paths to
determine if it needs to deal with unaccepted memory.
Borislav and Thomas pointed out that the tracking is racy: operations on
static_branch are not serialized against adding/removing unaccepted pages
to/from the zone.
Sanity checks inside static_branch machinery detects it:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10 at kernel/jump_label.c:276 __static_key_slow_dec_cpuslocked+0x8e/0xa0
The comment around the WARN() explains the problem:
/*
* Warn about the '-1' case though; since that means a
* decrement is concurrent with a first (0->1) increment. IOW
* people are trying to disable something that wasn't yet fully
* enabled. This suggests an ordering problem on the user side.
*/
The effect of this static_branch optimization is only visible on
microbenchmark.
Instead of adding more complexity around it, remove it altogether.

Tested with mt7921e but the same pattern can be actually applied to other
mt76 drivers calling mt76_dma_cleanup() during removal. Tx napi is enabled
in their *_dma_init() functions and only toggled off and on again inside
their suspend/resume/reset paths. So it should be okay to disable tx
napi in such a generic way.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phy: tegra: xusb: Use a bitmask for UTMI pad power state tracking
The current implementation uses bias_pad_enable as a reference count to
manage the shared bias pad for all UTMI PHYs. However, during system
suspension with connected USB devices, multiple power-down requests for
the UTMI pad result in a mismatch in the reference count, which in turn
produces warnings such as:

[ 237.763135] pm_suspend+0x1ec/0x270
The root cause was traced back to the dynamic power-down changes
introduced in commit a30951d31b25 ("xhci: tegra: USB2 pad power controls"),
where the UTMI pad was being powered down without verifying its current
state. This unbalanced behavior led to discrepancies in the reference
count.
To rectify this issue, this patch replaces the single reference counter
with a bitmask, renamed to utmi_pad_enabled. Each bit in the mask
corresponds to one of the four USB2 PHYs, allowing us to track each pad's
enablement status individually.
With this change:
- The bias pad is powered on only when the mask is clear.
- Each UTMI pad is powered on or down based on its corresponding bit
in the mask, preventing redundant operations.
- The overall power state of the shared bias pad is maintained
correctly during suspend/resume cycles.
The mutex used to prevent race conditions during UTMI pad enable/disable
operations has been moved from the tegra186_utmi_bias_pad_power_on/off
functions to the parent functions tegra186_utmi_pad_power_on/down. This
change ensures that there are no race conditions when updating the bitmask.

Make sure that n_channels is set after allocating the

index 0 is out of range for type 'struct ieee80211_channel *[] __counted_by(n_channels)' (aka 'struct ieee80211_channel *[]')
This was missed in the initial conversions because I failed to locate
the allocation likely due to the "sizeof(void *)" not matching the
"channels" array type.
