Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.16 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: ublk: make sure that block size is set correctly
block size is one very key setting for block layer, and bad block size
could panic kernel easily.
Make sure that block size is set correctly.
Meantime if ublk_validate_params() fails, clear ub->params so that disk
is prevented from being added.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix i_disksize exceeding i_size problem in paritally written case
It is possible for i_disksize can exceed i_size, triggering a warning.
generic_perform_write
copied = iov_iter_copy_from_user_atomic(len) // copied < len
ext4_da_write_end
| ext4_update_i_disksize
| new_i_size = pos + copied;
| WRITE_ONCE(EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize, newsize) // update i_disksize
| generic_write_end
| copied = block_write_end(copied, len) // copied = 0
| if (unlikely(copied < len))
| if (!PageUptodate(page))
| copied = 0;
| if (pos + copied > inode->i_size) // return false
if (unlikely(copied == 0))
goto again;
if (unlikely(iov_iter_fault_in_readable(i, bytes))) {
status = -EFAULT;
break;
}
We get i_disksize greater than i_size here, which could trigger WARNING
check 'i_size_read(inode) < EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize' while doing dio:
ext4_dio_write_iter
iomap_dio_rw
__iomap_dio_rw // return err, length is not aligned to 512
ext4_handle_inode_extension
WARN_ON_ONCE(i_size_read(inode) < EXT4_I(inode)->i_disksize) // Oops
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 2609 at fs/ext4/file.c:319
CPU: 2 PID: 2609 Comm: aa Not tainted 6.3.0-rc2
RIP: 0010:ext4_file_write_iter+0xbc7
Call Trace:
vfs_write+0x3b1
ksys_write+0x77
do_syscall_64+0x39
Fix it by updating 'copied' value before updating i_disksize just like
ext4_write_inline_data_end() does.
A reproducer can be found in the buganizer link below.

There is a memory leaks problem reported by kmemleak:

This is due to a mismatch between create and destroy interfaces, and
in detail that "new_eba_tbl" created by ubi_eba_create_table() but
destroyed by kfree(), while will causing "new_eba_tbl->entries" not
freed.
Fix it by replacing kfree(new_eba_tbl) with
ubi_eba_destroy_table(new_eba_tbl)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau/disp: fix use-after-free in error handling of nouveau_connector_create
We can't simply free the connector after calling drm_connector_init on it.
We need to clean up the drm side first.
It might not fix all regressions from commit 2b5d1c29f6c4
("drm/nouveau/disp: PIOR DP uses GPIO for HPD, not PMGR AUX interrupts"),
but at least it fixes a memory corruption in error handling related to
that commit.

The ACPI buffer memory (buf.pointer) should be freed. But the buffer
is also used after returning from acpi_get_dsd_graph().
Move the temporary variables buf to acpi_coresight_parse_graph(),
and free it before the function return to prevent memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: install stub fence into potential unused fence pointers
When using cpu to update page tables, vm update fences are unused.
Install stub fence into these fence pointers instead of NULL
to avoid NULL dereference when calling dma_fence_wait() on them.
