Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.33.15 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: hisi-kunpeng: Add verification for the max_frequency provided by the firmware
If the value of max_speed_hz is 0, it may cause a division by zero
error in hisi_calc_effective_speed().
The value of max_speed_hz is provided by firmware.
Firmware is generally considered as a trusted domain. However, as
division by zero errors can cause system failure, for defense measure,
the value of max_speed is validated here. So 0 is regarded as invalid
and an error code is returned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Error out instead on BUG_ON() in IBI DMA setup
Definitely condition dma_get_cache_alignment * defined value > 256
during driver initialization is not reason to BUG_ON(). Turn that to
graceful error out with -EINVAL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm80xx: Set phy->enable_completion only when we wait for it
pm8001_phy_control() populates the enable_completion pointer with a stack
address, sends a PHY_LINK_RESET / PHY_HARD_RESET, waits 300 ms, and
returns. The problem arises when a phy control response comes late. After
300 ms the pm8001_phy_control() function returns and the passed
enable_completion stack address is no longer valid. Late phy control
response invokes complete() on a dangling enable_completion pointer which
leads to a kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: keystone: Add workaround for Errata #i2037 (AM65x SR 1.0)
Errata #i2037 in AM65x/DRA80xM Processors Silicon Revision 1.0
(SPRZ452D_July 2018_Revised December 2019 [1]) mentions when an
inbound PCIe TLP spans more than two internal AXI 128-byte bursts,
the bus may corrupt the packet payload and the corrupt data may
cause associated applications or the processor to hang.
The workaround for Errata #i2037 is to limit the maximum read
request size and maximum payload size to 128 bytes. Add workaround
for Errata #i2037 here.
The errata and workaround is applicable only to AM65x SR 1.0 and
later versions of the silicon will have this fixed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
lib/generic-radix-tree.c: Fix rare race in __genradix_ptr_alloc()
If we need to increase the tree depth, allocate a new node, and then
race with another thread that increased the tree depth before us, we'll
still have a preallocated node that might be used later.
If we then use that node for a new non-root node, it'll still have a
pointer to the old root instead of being zeroed - fix this by zeroing it
in the cmpxchg failure path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix state management in error path of log writing function
After commit a694291a6211 ("nilfs2: separate wait function from
nilfs_segctor_write") was applied, the log writing function
nilfs_segctor_do_construct() was able to issue I/O requests continuously
even if user data blocks were split into multiple logs across segments,
but two potential flaws were introduced in its error handling.
First, if nilfs_segctor_begin_construction() fails while creating the
second or subsequent logs, the log writing function returns without
calling nilfs_segctor_abort_construction(), so the writeback flag set on
pages/folios will remain uncleared. This causes page cache operations to
hang waiting for the writeback flag. For example,
truncate_inode_pages_final(), which is called via nilfs_evict_inode() when
an inode is evicted from memory, will hang.
Second, the NILFS_I_COLLECTED flag set on normal inodes remain uncleared.
As a result, if the next log write involves checkpoint creation, that's
fine, but if a partial log write is performed that does not, inodes with
NILFS_I_COLLECTED set are erroneously removed from the "sc_dirty_files"
list, and their data and b-tree blocks may not be written to the device,
corrupting the block mapping.
Fix these issues by uniformly calling nilfs_segctor_abort_construction()
on failure of each step in the loop in nilfs_segctor_do_construct(),
having it clean up logs and segment usages according to progress, and
correcting the conditions for calling nilfs_redirty_inodes() to ensure
that the NILFS_I_COLLECTED flag is cleared.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: add bounds checking to ocfs2_xattr_find_entry()
Add a paranoia check to make sure it doesn't stray beyond valid memory
region containing ocfs2 xattr entries when scanning for a match. It will
prevent out-of-bound access in case of crafted images.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Not doing so will make us send a host command to the transport while the
firmware is not alive, which will trigger a WARNING.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Disable DMCUB timeout for DCN35
[Why]
DMCUB can intermittently take longer than expected to process commands.
Old ASIC policy was to continue while logging a diagnostic error - which
works fine for ASIC without IPS, but with IPS this could lead to a race
condition where we attempt to access DCN state while it's inaccessible,
leading to a system hang when the NIU port is not disabled or register
accesses that timeout and the display configuration in an undefined
state.
[How]
We need to investigate why these accesses take longer than expected, but
for now we should disable the timeout on DCN35 to avoid this race
condition. Since the waits happen only at lower interrupt levels the
risk of taking too long at higher IRQ and causing a system watchdog
timeout are minimal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Correct the defined value for AMDGPU_DMUB_NOTIFICATION_MAX
[Why & How]
It actually exposes '6' types in enum dmub_notification_type. Not 5. Using smaller
number to create array dmub_callback & dmub_thread_offload has potential to access
item out of array bound. Fix it.
