Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.16.12 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Limit the number of concurrent async COPY operations
Nothing appears to limit the number of concurrent async COPY
operations that clients can start. In addition, AFAICT each async
COPY can copy an unlimited number of 4MB chunks, so can run for a
long time. Thus IMO async COPY can become a DoS vector.
Add a restriction mechanism that bounds the number of concurrent
background COPY operations. Start simple and try to be fair -- this
patch implements a per-namespace limit.
An async COPY request that occurs while this limit is exceeded gets
NFS4ERR_DELAY. The requesting client can choose to send the request
again after a delay or fall back to a traditional read/write style
copy.
If there is need to make the mechanism more sophisticated, we can
visit that in future patches.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: stop waiting for space when jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns error
In __jbd2_log_wait_for_space(), we might call jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()
to recover some journal space. But if an error occurs while executing
jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() (e.g., an EIO), we don't stop waiting for free
space right away, we try other branches, and if j_committing_transaction
is NULL (i.e., the tid is 0), we will get the following complain:
============================================
JBD2: I/O error when updating journal superblock for sdd-8.
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: needed 256 blocks and only had 217 space available
__jbd2_log_wait_for_space: no way to get more journal space in sdd-8
------------[ cut here ]------------

============================================
So only if jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail() returns 1, i.e., there is nothing to
clean up at the moment, continue to try to reclaim free space in other ways.
Note that this fix relies on commit 6f6a6fda2945 ("jbd2: fix ocfs2 corrupt
when updating journal superblock fails") to make jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail
return the correct error code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix timer use-after-free on failed mount
Syzbot has found an ODEBUG bug in ext4_fill_super
The del_timer_sync function cancels the s_err_report timer,
which reminds about filesystem errors daily. We should
guarantee the timer is no longer active before kfree(sbi).
When filesystem mounting fails, the flow goes to failed_mount3,
where an error occurs when ext4_stop_mmpd is called, causing
a read I/O failure. This triggers the ext4_handle_error function
that ultimately re-arms the timer,
leaving the s_err_report timer active before kfree(sbi) is called.
Fix the issue by canceling the s_err_report timer after calling ext4_stop_mmpd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPICA: check null return of ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED() in acpi_db_convert_to_package()
ACPICA commit 4d4547cf13cca820ff7e0f859ba83e1a610b9fd0
ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED() may fail, elements might be NULL and will cause
NULL pointer dereference later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: cancel dqi_sync_work before freeing oinfo
ocfs2_global_read_info() will initialize and schedule dqi_sync_work at the
end, if error occurs after successfully reading global quota, it will
trigger the following warning with CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_* enabled:
ODEBUG: free active (active state 0) object: 00000000d8b0ce28 object type: timer_list hint: qsync_work_fn+0x0/0x16c
This reports that there is an active delayed work when freeing oinfo in
error handling, so cancel dqi_sync_work first. BTW, return status instead
of -1 when .read_file_info fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: filesystems without casefold feature cannot be mounted with siphash
When mounting the ext4 filesystem, if the default hash version is set to
DX_HASH_SIPHASH but the casefold feature is not set, exit the mounting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix index out of bounds in DCN30 color transformation
This commit addresses a potential index out of bounds issue in the
`cm3_helper_translate_curve_to_hw_format` function in the DCN30 color
management module. The issue could occur when the index 'i' exceeds the
number of transfer function points (TRANSFER_FUNC_POINTS).
The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the
transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, the function returns
false to indicate an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Implement bounds check for stream encoder creation in DCN401
'stream_enc_regs' array is an array of dcn10_stream_enc_registers
structures. The array is initialized with four elements, corresponding
to the four calls to stream_enc_regs() in the array initializer. This
means that valid indices for this array are 0, 1, 2, and 3.
The error message 'stream_enc_regs' 4 <= 5 below, is indicating that
there is an attempt to access this array with an index of 5, which is
out of bounds. This could lead to undefined behavior
Here, eng_id is used as an index to access the stream_enc_regs array. If
eng_id is 5, this would result in an out-of-bounds access on the
stream_enc_regs array.
Thus fixing Buffer overflow error in dcn401_stream_encoder_create
Found by smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/resource/dcn401/dcn401_resource.c:1209 dcn401_stream_encoder_create() error: buffer overflow 'stream_enc_regs' 4 <= 5

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix null-ptr-deref when journal load failed.
During the mounting process, if journal_reset() fails because of too short
journal, then lead to jbd2_journal_load() fails with NULL j_sb_buffer.
Subsequently, ocfs2_journal_shutdown() calls
jbd2_journal_flush()->jbd2_cleanup_journal_tail()->
__jbd2_update_log_tail()->jbd2_journal_update_sb_log_tail()
->lock_buffer(journal->j_sb_buffer), resulting in a null-pointer
dereference error.
To resolve this issue, we should check the JBD2_LOADED flag to ensure the
journal was properly loaded. Additionally, use journal instead of
osb->journal directly to simplify the code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix array out-of-bound access in SoC stats
Currently, the ath12k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error array is defined with a
maximum size of DP_REO_DST_RING_MAX. However, the ath12k_dp_rx_process()
function access ath12k_soc_dp_stats::hal_reo_error using the REO
destination SRNG ring ID, which is incorrect. SRNG ring ID differ from
normal ring ID, and this usage leads to out-of-bounds array access. To
fix this issue, modify ath12k_dp_rx_process() to use the normal ring ID
directly instead of the SRNG ring ID to avoid out-of-bounds array access.
