Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.48 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen-netfront: handle NULL returned by xdp_convert_buff_to_frame()
The function xdp_convert_buff_to_frame() may return NULL if it fails
to correctly convert the XDP buffer into an XDP frame due to memory
constraints, internal errors, or invalid data. Failing to check for NULL
may lead to a NULL pointer dereference if the result is used later in
processing, potentially causing crashes, data corruption, or undefined
behavior.
On XDP redirect failure, the associated page must be released explicitly
if it was previously retained via get_page(). Failing to do so may result
in a memory leak, as the pages reference count is not decremented.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: uprobes: Add missing fence.i after building the XOL buffer
The XOL (execute out-of-line) buffer is used to single-step the
replaced instruction(s) for uprobes. The RISC-V port was missing a
proper fence.i (i$ flushing) after constructing the XOL buffer, which
can result in incorrect execution of stale/broken instructions.
This was found running the BPF selftests "test_progs:
uprobe_autoattach, attach_probe" on the Spacemit K1/X60, where the
uprobes tests randomly blew up.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: hfsc: Fix a potential UAF in hfsc_dequeue() too
Similarly to the previous patch, we need to safe guard hfsc_dequeue()
too. But for this one, we don't have a reliable reproducer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: gadget: check that event count does not exceed event buffer length
The event count is read from register DWC3_GEVNTCOUNT.
There is a check for the count being zero, but not for exceeding the
event buffer length.
Check that event count does not exceed event buffer length,
avoiding an out-of-bounds access when memcpy'ing the event.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdns3: Fix deadlock when using NCM gadget
The cdns3 driver has the same NCM deadlock as fixed in cdnsp by commit
58f2fcb3a845 ("usb: cdnsp: Fix deadlock issue during using NCM gadget").
Under PREEMPT_RT the deadlock can be readily triggered by heavy network
traffic, for example using "iperf --bidir" over NCM ethernet link.
The deadlock occurs because the threaded interrupt handler gets
preempted by a softirq, but both are protected by the same spinlock.
Prevent deadlock by disabling softirq during threaded irq handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mcb: fix a double free bug in chameleon_parse_gdd()
In chameleon_parse_gdd(), if mcb_device_register() fails, 'mdev'
would be released in mcb_device_register() via put_device().
Thus, goto 'err' label and free 'mdev' again causes a double free.
Just return if mcb_device_register() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix WARNING "do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING"
wait_event_timeout() will set the state of the current
task to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, before doing the condition check. This
means that ksmbd_durable_scavenger_alive() will try to acquire the mutex
while already in a sleeping state. The scheduler warns us by giving
the following warning:
do not call blocking ops when !TASK_RUNNING; state=2 set at
[<0000000061515a6f>] prepare_to_wait_event+0x9f/0x6c0
WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 4147 at kernel/sched/core.c:10099 __might_sleep+0x12f/0x160
