Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.10.92 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: add locking for bcm_op runtime updates
The CAN broadcast manager (CAN BCM) can send a sequence of CAN frames via
hrtimer. The content and also the length of the sequence can be changed
resp reduced at runtime where the 'currframe' counter is then set to zero.
Although this appeared to be a safe operation the updates of 'currframe'
can be triggered from user space and hrtimer context in bcm_can_tx().
Anderson Nascimento created a proof of concept that triggered a KASAN
slab-out-of-bounds read access which can be prevented with a spin_lock_bh.
At the rework of bcm_can_tx() the 'count' variable has been moved into
the protected section as this variable can be modified from both contexts
too.

A vulnerability was found in systemd-coredump. This flaw allows an attacker to force a SUID process to crash and replace it with a non-SUID binary to access the original's privileged process coredump, allowing the attacker to read sensitive data, such as /etc/shadow content, loaded by the original process.
A SUID binary or process has a special type of permission, which allows the process to run with the file owner's permissions, regardless of the user executing the binary. This allows the process to access more restricted data than unprivileged users or processes would be able to. An attacker can leverage this flaw by forcing a SUID process to crash and force the Linux kernel to recycle the process PID before systemd-coredump can analyze the /proc/pid/auxv file. If the attacker wins the race condition, they gain access to the original's SUID process coredump file. They can read sensitive content loaded into memory by the original binary, affecting data confidentiality.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
openvswitch: Fix unsafe attribute parsing in output_userspace()
This patch replaces the manual Netlink attribute iteration in
output_userspace() with nla_for_each_nested(), which ensures that only
well-formed attributes are processed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: Flush gso_skb list too during ->change()
Previously, when reducing a qdisc's limit via the ->change() operation, only
the main skb queue was trimmed, potentially leaving packets in the gso_skb
list. This could result in NULL pointer dereference when we only check
sch->limit against sch->q.qlen.
This patch introduces a new helper, qdisc_dequeue_internal(), which ensures
both the gso_skb list and the main queue are properly flushed when trimming
excess packets. All relevant qdiscs (codel, fq, fq_codel, fq_pie, hhf, pie)
are updated to use this helper in their ->change() routines.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
qibfs: fix _another_ leak
failure to allocate inode => leaked dentry...
this one had been there since the initial merge; to be fair,
if we are that far OOM, the odds of failing at that particular
allocation are low...

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcm80211: fmac: Add error handling for brcmf_usb_dl_writeimage()
The function brcmf_usb_dl_writeimage() calls the function
brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() but dose not check its return value. The
'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized if the
function brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails. It is dangerous to use
uninitialized variables in the conditions.
Add error handling for brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() to jump to error
handling path if the brcmf_usb_dl_cmd() fails and the
'state.state' and the 'state.bytes' are uninitialized.
Improve the error message to report more detailed error
information.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Fix double SIGFPE crash
Camm noticed that on parisc a SIGFPE exception will crash an application with
a second SIGFPE in the signal handler. Dave analyzed it, and it happens
because glibc uses a double-word floating-point store to atomically update
function descriptors. As a result of lazy binding, we hit a floating-point
store in fpe_func almost immediately.
When the T bit is set, an assist exception trap occurs when when the
co-processor encounters *any* floating-point instruction except for a double
store of register %fr0. The latter cancels all pending traps. Let's fix this
by clearing the Trap (T) bit in the FP status register before returning to the
signal handler in userspace.
The issue can be reproduced with this test program:
root@parisc:~# cat fpe.c
static void fpe_func(int sig, siginfo_t *i, void *v) {
sigset_t set;
sigemptyset(&set);
sigaddset(&set, SIGFPE);
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL);
printf("GOT signal %d with si_code %ld\n", sig, i->si_code);
}
int main() {
struct sigaction action = {
.sa_sigaction = fpe_func,
.sa_flags = SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO };
sigaction(SIGFPE, &action, 0);
feenableexcept(FE_OVERFLOW);
return printf("%lf\n",1.7976931348623158E308*1.7976931348623158E308);
}
root@parisc:~# gcc fpe.c -lm

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix uninit-value for saddr in do_output_route4
syzbot reports for uninit-value for the saddr argument [1].
commit 4754957f04f5 ("ipvs: do not use random local source address for
tunnels") already implies that the input value of saddr
should be ignored but the code is still reading it which can prevent
to connect the route. Fix it by changing the argument to ret_saddr.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: bpf: Only mitigate cBPF programs loaded by unprivileged users
Support for eBPF programs loaded by unprivileged users is typically
disabled. This means only cBPF programs need to be mitigated for BHB.
In addition, only mitigate cBPF programs that were loaded by an
unprivileged user. Privileged users can also load the same program
via eBPF, making the mitigation pointless.
