Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.119 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix sample vs do_exit()
Baisheng Gao reported an ARM64 crash, which Mark decoded as being a
synchronous external abort -- most likely due to trying to access
MMIO in bad ways.
The crash further shows perf trying to do a user stack sample while in
exit_mmap()'s tlb_finish_mmu() -- i.e. while tearing down the address
space it is trying to access.
It turns out that we stop perf after we tear down the userspace mm; a
receipie for disaster, since perf likes to access userspace for
various reasons.
Flip this order by moving up where we stop perf in do_exit().
Additionally, harden PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN and PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER
to abort when the current task does not have an mm (exit_mm() makes
sure to set current->mm = NULL; before commencing with the actual
teardown). Such that CPU wide events don't trip on this same problem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: tegra: check msg length in SMBUS block read
For SMBUS block read, do not continue to read if the message length
passed from the device is '0' or greater than the maximum allowed bytes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Add basic validation for RAS header
If RAS header read from EEPROM is corrupted, it could result in trying
to allocate huge memory for reading the records. Add some validation to
header fields.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: ims-pcu - check record size in ims_pcu_flash_firmware()
The "len" variable comes from the firmware and we generally do
trust firmware, but it's always better to double check. If the "len"
is too large it could result in memory corruption when we do
"memcpy(fragment->data, rec->data, len);"

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: mhi: ep: Update read pointer only after buffer is written
Inside mhi_ep_ring_add_element, the read pointer (rd_offset) is updated
before the buffer is written, potentially causing race conditions where
the host sees an updated read pointer before the buffer is actually
written. Updating rd_offset prematurely can lead to the host accessing
an uninitialized or incomplete element, resulting in data corruption.
Invoke the buffer write before updating rd_offset to ensure the element
is fully written before signaling its availability.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: nfsd4_spo_must_allow() must check this is a v4 compound request
If the request being processed is not a v4 compound request, then
examining the cstate can have undefined results.
This patch adds a check that the rpc procedure being executed
(rq_procinfo) is the NFSPROC4_COMPOUND procedure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: carl9170: do not ping device which has failed to load firmware
Syzkaller reports [1, 2] crashes caused by an attempts to ping
the device which has failed to load firmware. Since such a device
doesn't pass 'ieee80211_register_hw()', an internal workqueue
managed by 'ieee80211_queue_work()' is not yet created and an
attempt to queue work on it causes null-ptr-deref.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Squashfs: check return result of sb_min_blocksize
Syzkaller reports an "UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in squashfs_bio_read" bug.
Syzkaller forks multiple processes which after mounting the Squashfs
filesystem, issues an ioctl("/dev/loop0", LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE, 0x8000).
Now if this ioctl occurs at the same time another process is in the
process of mounting a Squashfs filesystem on /dev/loop0, the failure
occurs. When this happens the following code in squashfs_fill_super()
fails.
----
msblk->devblksize = sb_min_blocksize(sb, SQUASHFS_DEVBLK_SIZE);
msblk->devblksize_log2 = ffz(~msblk->devblksize);
----
sb_min_blocksize() returns 0, which means msblk->devblksize is set to 0.
As a result, ffz(~msblk->devblksize) returns 64, and msblk->devblksize_log2
is set to 64.
This subsequently causes the
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/squashfs/block.c:195:36
shift exponent 64 is too large for 64-bit type 'u64' (aka
'unsigned long long')
This commit adds a check for a 0 return by sb_min_blocksize().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFC: nci: uart: Set tty->disc_data only in success path
Setting tty->disc_data before opening the NCI device means we need to
clean it up on error paths. This also opens some short window if device
starts sending data, even before NCIUARTSETDRIVER IOCTL succeeded
(broken hardware?). Close the window by exposing tty->disc_data only on
the success path, when opening of the NCI device and try_module_get()
succeeds.
The code differs in error path in one aspect: tty->disc_data won't be
ever assigned thus NULL-ified. This however should not be relevant
difference, because of "tty->disc_data=NULL" in nci_uart_tty_open().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: core: Release rproc->clean_table after rproc_attach() fails
When rproc->state = RPROC_DETACHED is attached to remote processor
through rproc_attach(), if rproc_handle_resources() returns failure,
then the clean table should be released, otherwise the following
memory leak will occur.
