Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.139 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wlcore: ensure skb headroom before skb_push
This avoids occasional skb_under_panic Oops from wl1271_tx_work. In this case, headroom is
less than needed (typically 110 - 94 = 16 bytes).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
flex_proportions: make fprop_new_period() hardirq safe
Bernd has reported a lockdep splat from flexible proportions code that is
essentially complaining about the following race:
<timer fires>
run_timer_softirq - we are in softirq context
call_timer_fn
writeout_period
fprop_new_period
write_seqcount_begin(&p->sequence);
<hardirq is raised>
...
blk_mq_end_request()
blk_update_request()
ext4_end_bio()
folio_end_writeback()
__wb_writeout_add()
__fprop_add_percpu_max()
if (unlikely(max_frac < FPROP_FRAC_BASE)) {
fprop_fraction_percpu()
seq = read_seqcount_begin(&p->sequence);
- sees odd sequence so loops indefinitely
Note that a deadlock like this is only possible if the bdi has configured
maximum fraction of writeout throughput which is very rare in general but
frequent for example for FUSE bdis. To fix this problem we have to make
sure write section of the sequence counter is irqsafe.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: fix race in mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit()
syzbot and Eulgyu Kim reported crashes in mptcp_pm_nl_get_local_id()
and/or mptcp_pm_nl_is_backup()
Root cause is list_splice_init() in mptcp_pm_nl_flush_addrs_doit()
which is not RCU ready.
list_splice_init_rcu() can not be called here while holding pernet->lock
spinlock.
Many thanks to Eulgyu Kim for providing a repro and testing our patches.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: fix use-after-free due to enslave fail after slave array update
Fix a use-after-free which happens due to enslave failure after the new
slave has been added to the array. Since the new slave can be used for Tx
immediately, we can use it after it has been freed by the enslave error
cleanup path which frees the allocated slave memory. Slave update array is
supposed to be called last when further enslave failures are not expected.
Move it after xdp setup to avoid any problems.
It is very easy to reproduce the problem with a simple xdp_pass prog:
ip l add bond1 type bond mode balance-xor
ip l set bond1 up
ip l set dev bond1 xdp object xdp_pass.o sec xdp_pass
ip l add dumdum type dummy
Then run in parallel:
while :; do ip l set dumdum master bond1 1>/dev/null 2>&1; done;
mausezahn bond1 -a own -b rand -A rand -B 1.1.1.1 -c 0 -t tcp "dp=1-1023, flags=syn"
The crash happens almost immediately:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: t7xx: fix potential skb->frags overflow in RX path
When receiving data in the DPMAIF RX path,
the t7xx_dpmaif_set_frag_to_skb() function adds
page fragments to an skb without checking if the number of
fragments has exceeded MAX_SKB_FRAGS. This could lead to a buffer overflow
in skb_shinfo(skb)->frags[] array, corrupting adjacent memory and
potentially causing kernel crashes or other undefined behavior.
This issue was identified through static code analysis by comparing with a
similar vulnerability fixed in the mt76 driver commit b102f0c522cf ("mt76:
fix array overflow on receiving too many fragments for a packet").
The vulnerability could be triggered if the modem firmware sends packets
with excessive fragments. While under normal protocol conditions (MTU 3080
bytes, BAT buffer 3584 bytes),
a single packet should not require additional
fragments, the kernel should not blindly trust firmware behavior.
Malicious, buggy, or compromised firmware could potentially craft packets
with more fragments than the kernel expects.
Fix this by adding a bounds check before calling skb_add_rx_frag() to
ensure nr_frags does not exceed MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
The check must be performed before unmapping to avoid a page leak
and double DMA unmap during device teardown.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rocker: fix memory leak in rocker_world_port_post_fini()
In rocker_world_port_pre_init(), rocker_port->wpriv is allocated with
kzalloc(wops->port_priv_size, GFP_KERNEL). However, in
rocker_world_port_post_fini(), the memory is only freed when
wops->port_post_fini callback is set:
if (!wops->port_post_fini)
return;
wops->port_post_fini(rocker_port);
kfree(rocker_port->wpriv);
Since rocker_ofdpa_ops does not implement port_post_fini callback
(it is NULL), the wpriv memory allocated for each port is never freed
when ports are removed. This leads to a memory leak of
sizeof(struct ofdpa_port) bytes per port on every device removal.
Fix this by always calling kfree(rocker_port->wpriv) regardless of
whether the port_post_fini callback exists.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: Fix race between rfkill and nci_unregister_device().
syzbot reported the splat below [0] without a repro.
It indicates that struct nci_dev.cmd_wq had been destroyed before
nci_close_device() was called via rfkill.
nci_dev.cmd_wq is only destroyed in nci_unregister_device(), which
(I think) was called from virtual_ncidev_close() when syzbot close()d
an fd of virtual_ncidev.
The problem is that nci_unregister_device() destroys nci_dev.cmd_wq
first and then calls nfc_unregister_device(), which removes the
device from rfkill by rfkill_unregister().
So, the device is still visible via rfkill even after nci_dev.cmd_wq
is destroyed.
Let's unregister the device from rfkill first in nci_unregister_device().
Note that we cannot call nfc_unregister_device() before
nci_close_device() because
1) nfc_unregister_device() calls device_del() which frees
all memory allocated by devm_kzalloc() and linked to
ndev->conn_info_list
2) nci_rx_work() could try to queue nci_conn_info to
ndev->conn_info_list which could be leaked
Thus, nfc_unregister_device() is split into two functions so we
can remove rfkill interfaces only before nci_close_device().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: llcp: Fix memleak in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
syzbot reported various memory leaks related to NFC, struct
nfc_llcp_sock, sk_buff, nfc_dev, etc. [0]
The leading log hinted that nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() failed
to allocate skb due to sock_error(sk) being -ENXIO.
ENXIO is set by nfc_llcp_socket_release() when struct
nfc_llcp_local is destroyed by local_cleanup().
The problem is that there is no synchronisation between
nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame() and local_cleanup(), and skb
could be put into local->tx_queue after it was purged in
local_cleanup():

local_cleanup() is called for struct nfc_llcp_local only
after nfc_llcp_remove_local() unlinks it from llcp_devices.
If we hold local->tx_queue.lock then, we can synchronise
the thread and nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().
Let's do that and check list_empty(&local->list) before
queuing skb to local->tx_queue in nfc_llcp_send_ui_frame().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix segmentation of forwarding fraglist GRO
This patch enhances GSO segment handling by properly checking
the SKB_GSO_DODGY flag for frag_list GSO packets, addressing
low throughput issues observed when a station accesses IPv4
servers via hotspots with an IPv6-only upstream interface.
Specifically, it fixes a bug in GSO segmentation when forwarding
GRO packets containing a frag_list. The function skb_segment_list
cannot correctly process GRO skbs that have been converted by XLAT,
since XLAT only translates the header of the head skb. Consequently,
skbs in the frag_list may remain untranslated, resulting in protocol
inconsistencies and reduced throughput.
To address this, the patch explicitly sets the SKB_GSO_DODGY flag
for GSO packets in XLAT's IPv4/IPv6 protocol translation helpers
(bpf_skb_proto_4_to_6 and bpf_skb_proto_6_to_4). This marks GSO
packets as potentially modified after protocol translation. As a
result, GSO segmentation will avoid using skb_segment_list and
instead falls back to skb_segment for packets with the SKB_GSO_DODGY
flag. This ensures that only safe and fully translated frag_list
packets are processed by skb_segment_list, resolving protocol
inconsistencies and improving throughput when forwarding GRO packets
converted by XLAT.
