Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.0.57 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernel/irq/irqdomain.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/swapfile: add cond_resched() in get_swap_pages()
The softlockup still occurs in get_swap_pages() under memory pressure. 64
CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28 zram devices, the disksize of each zram
device is 50MB with same priority as si. Use the stress-ng tool to
increase memory pressure, causing the system to oom frequently.
The plist_for_each_entry_safe() loops in get_swap_pages() could reach tens
of thousands of times to find available space (extreme case:
cond_resched() is not called in scan_swap_map_slots()). Let's add
cond_resched() into get_swap_pages() when failed to find available space
to avoid softlockup.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: always report error in run_one_delayed_ref()
Currently we have a btrfs_debug() for run_one_delayed_ref() failure, but
if end users hit such problem, there will be no chance that
btrfs_debug() is enabled. This can lead to very little useful info for
debugging.
This patch will:
- Add extra info for error reporting
Including:
* logical bytenr
* num_bytes
* type
* action
* ref_mod
- Replace the btrfs_debug() with btrfs_err()
- Move the error reporting into run_one_delayed_ref()
This is to avoid use-after-free, the @node can be freed in the caller.
This error should only be triggered at most once.
As if run_one_delayed_ref() failed, we trigger the error message, then
causing the call chain to error out:
btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
`- btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
`- btrfs_run_delayed_refs_for_head()
`- run_one_delayed_ref()
And we will abort the current transaction in btrfs_run_delayed_refs().
If we have to run delayed refs for the abort transaction,
run_one_delayed_ref() will just cleanup the refs and do nothing, thus no
new error messages would be output.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_fs: Prevent race during ffs_ep0_queue_wait
While performing fast composition switch, there is a possibility that the
process of ffs_ep0_write/ffs_ep0_read get into a race condition
due to ep0req being freed up from functionfs_unbind.
Consider the scenario that the ffs_ep0_write calls the ffs_ep0_queue_wait
by taking a lock &ffs->ev.waitq.lock. However, the functionfs_unbind isn't
bounded so it can go ahead and mark the ep0req to NULL, and since there
is no NULL check in ffs_ep0_queue_wait we will end up in use-after-free.
Fix this by making a serialized execution between the two functions using
a mutex_lock(ffs->mutex).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: imx-sdma: Fix a possible memory leak in sdma_transfer_init
If the function sdma_load_context() fails, the sdma_desc will be
freed, but the allocated desc->bd is forgot to be freed.
We already met the sdma_load_context() failure case and the log as
below:
[ 450.699064] imx-sdma 30bd0000.dma-controller: Timeout waiting for CH0 ready
...
In this case, the desc->bd will not be freed without this change.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Always check inode size of inline inodes
Check if the inode size of stuffed (inline) inodes is within the allowed
range when reading inodes from disk (gfs2_dinode_in()). This prevents
us from on-disk corruption.
The two checks in stuffed_readpage() and gfs2_unstuffer_page() that just
truncate inline data to the maximum allowed size don't actually make
sense, and they can be removed now as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Check the count value of channel spec to prevent out-of-bounds reads
This patch fixes slab-out-of-bounds reads in brcmfmac that occur in
brcmf_construct_chaninfo() and brcmf_enable_bw40_2g() when the count
value of channel specifications provided by the device is greater than
the length of 'list->element[]', decided by the size of the 'list'
allocated with kzalloc(). The patch adds checks that make the functions
free the buffer and return -EINVAL if that is the case. Note that the
negative return is handled by the caller, brcmf_setup_wiphybands() or
brcmf_cfg80211_attach().
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.
