Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.18.134 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: unset reloc control if transaction commit fails in prepare_to_relocate()
In btrfs_relocate_block_group(), the rc is allocated. Then
btrfs_relocate_block_group() calls
relocate_block_group()
prepare_to_relocate()
set_reloc_control()
that assigns rc to the variable fs_info->reloc_ctl. When
prepare_to_relocate() returns, it calls
btrfs_commit_transaction()
btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups()
btrfs_alloc_path()
kmem_cache_zalloc()
which may fail for example (or other errors could happen). When the
failure occurs, btrfs_relocate_block_group() detects the error and frees
rc and doesn't set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL. After that, in
btrfs_init_reloc_root(), rc is retrieved from fs_info->reloc_ctl and
then used, which may cause a use-after-free bug.
This possible bug can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance()
before calling btrfs_ioctl_defrag().
To fix this possible bug, in prepare_to_relocate(), check if
btrfs_commit_transaction() fails. If the failure occurs,
unset_reloc_control() is called to set fs_info->reloc_ctl to NULL.
The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix adminq error handling
iavf_alloc_asq_bufs/iavf_alloc_arq_bufs allocates with dma_alloc_coherent
memory for VF mailbox.
Free DMA regions for both ASQ and ARQ in case error happens during
configuration of ASQ/ARQ registers.
Without this change it is possible to see when unloading interface:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gadgetfs: ep_io - wait until IRQ finishes
after usb_ep_queue() if wait_for_completion_interruptible() is
interrupted we need to wait until IRQ gets finished.

clk: qcom: ipq8074: dont disable gcc_sleep_clk_src
Once the usb sleep clocks are disabled, clock framework is trying to
disable the sleep clock source also.
However, it seems that it cannot be disabled and trying to do so produces:

to disable the sleep clock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid resizing to a partial cluster size
This patch avoids an attempt to resize the filesystem to an
unaligned cluster boundary. An online resize to a size that is not
integral to cluster size results in the last iteration attempting to
grow the fs by a negative amount, which trips a BUG_ON and leaves the fs
with a corrupted in-memory superblock.
