Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.3.8 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix potential stack-out-of-bounds in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds()
This patch fixes a stack-out-of-bounds read in brcmfmac that occurs
when 'buf' that is not null-terminated is passed as an argument of
strsep() in brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds(). This buffer is filled with a firmware
version string by memcpy() in brcmf_fil_iovar_data_get().
The patch ensures buf is null-terminated.
Found by a modified version of syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/sti: Fix return type of sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid()
With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which
reveals:
drivers/gpu/drm/sti/sti_hda.c:637:16: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'enum drm_mode_status (*)(struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' with an expression of type 'int (struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
.mode_valid = sti_hda_connector_mode_valid,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/sti/sti_dvo.c:376:16: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'enum drm_mode_status (*)(struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' with an expression of type 'int (struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
.mode_valid = sti_dvo_connector_mode_valid,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/gpu/drm/sti/sti_hdmi.c:1035:16: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'enum drm_mode_status (*)(struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' with an expression of type 'int (struct drm_connector *, struct drm_display_mode *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
.mode_valid = sti_hdmi_connector_mode_valid,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
->mode_valid() in 'struct drm_connector_helper_funcs' expects a return
type of 'enum drm_mode_status', not 'int'. Adjust the return type of
sti_{dvo,hda,hdmi}_connector_mode_valid() to match the prototype's to
resolve the warning and CFI failure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpci: fix of node refcount leak in tcpci_register_port()
I got the following report while doing device(mt6370-tcpc) load
test with CONFIG_OF_UNITTEST and CONFIG_OF_DYNAMIC enabled:
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,
of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry:
attach overlay node /i2c/pmic@34/tcpc/connector
The 'fwnode' set in tcpci_parse_config() which is called
in tcpci_register_port(), its node refcount is increased
in device_get_named_child_node(). It needs be put while
exiting, so call fwnode_handle_put() in the error path of
tcpci_register_port() and in tcpci_unregister_port() to
avoid leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: fix double free on tx path.
We see kernel crashes and lockups and KASAN errors related to ax210
firmware crashes. One of the KASAN dumps pointed at the tx path,
and it appears there is indeed a way to double-free an skb.
If iwl_mvm_tx_skb_sta returns non-zero, then the 'skb' sent into the
method will be freed. But, in case where we build TSO skb buffer,
the skb may also be freed in error case. So, return 0 in that particular
error case and do cleanup manually.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memory: of: Fix refcount leak bug in of_get_ddr_timings()
We should add the of_node_put() when breaking out of
for_each_child_of_node() as it will automatically increase
and decrease the refcount.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: core: fix use_count leakage when handling boot-on
I found a use_count leakage towards supply regulator of rdev with
boot-on option.
┌───────────────────┐ ┌───────────────────┐
│ regulator_dev A │ │ regulator_dev B │
│ (boot-on) │ │ (boot-on) │
│ use_count=0 │◀──supply──│ use_count=1 │
│ │ │ │
└───────────────────┘ └───────────────────┘
In case of rdev(A) configured with `regulator-boot-on', the use_count
of supplying regulator(B) will increment inside
regulator_enable(rdev->supply).
Thus, B will acts like always-on, and further balanced
regulator_enable/disable cannot actually disable it anymore.
However, B was also configured with `regulator-boot-on', we wish it
could be disabled afterwards.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: vub300: fix return value check of mmc_add_host()
mmc_add_host() may return error, if we ignore its return value, the memory
that allocated in mmc_alloc_host() will be leaked and it will lead a kernel
crash because of deleting not added device in the remove path.
So fix this by checking the return value and goto error path which will call
mmc_free_host(), besides, the timer added before mmc_add_host() needs be del.
And this patch fixes another missing call mmc_free_host() if usb_control_msg()
fails.

Avoid potential use-after-free condition under memory pressure. If the
kzalloc() fails, q_vector will be freed but left in the original

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
android: binder: stop saving a pointer to the VMA
Do not record a pointer to a VMA outside of the mmap_lock for later use.
This is unsafe and there are a number of failure paths *after* the
recorded VMA pointer may be freed during setup. There is no callback to
the driver to clear the saved pointer from generic mm code. Furthermore,
the VMA pointer may become stale if any number of VMA operations end up
freeing the VMA so saving it was fragile to being with.
Instead, change the binder_alloc struct to record the start address of the
VMA and use vma_lookup() to get the vma when needed. Add lockdep
mmap_lock checks on updates to the vma pointer to ensure the lock is held
and depend on that lock for synchronization of readers and writers - which
was already the case anyways, so the smp_wmb()/smp_rmb() was not
necessary.
