Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.52 Security Vulnerabilities
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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: core: Cleanup acquired resources when rproc_handle_resources() fails in rproc_attach()
When rproc->state = RPROC_DETACHED and rproc_attach() is used
to attach to the remote processor, if rproc_handle_resources()
returns a failure, the resources allocated by imx_rproc_prepare()
should be released, otherwise the following memory leak will occur.
Since almost the same thing is done in imx_rproc_prepare() and
rproc_resource_cleanup(), Function rproc_resource_cleanup() is able
to deal with empty lists so it is better to fix the "goto" statements
in rproc_attach(). replace the "unprepare_device" goto statement with
"clean_up_resources" and get rid of the "unprepare_device" label.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath6kl: remove WARN on bad firmware input
If the firmware gives bad input, that's nothing to do with
the driver's stack at this point etc., so the WARN_ON()
doesn't add any value. Additionally, this is one of the
top syzbot reports now. Just print a message, and as an
added bonus, print the sizes too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
genirq/irq_sim: Initialize work context pointers properly
Initialize `ops` member's pointers properly by using kzalloc() instead of
kmalloc() when allocating the simulation work context. Otherwise the
pointers contain random content leading to invalid dereferencing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix another leak in the submit error path
put_unused_fd() doesn't free the installed file, if we've already done
fd_install(). So we need to also free the sync_file.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix a fence leak in submit error path
In error paths, we could unref the submit without calling
drm_sched_entity_push_job(), so msm_job_free() will never get
called. Since drm_sched_job_cleanup() will NULL out the
s_fence, we can use that to detect this case.
