Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.1.6 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: Fix not checking skb length on hci_acldata_packet
This fixes not checking if skb really contains an ACL header otherwise
the code may attempt to access some uninitilized/invalid memory past the
valid skb->data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_conn: Use disable_delayed_work_sync
This makes use of disable_delayed_work_sync instead
cancel_delayed_work_sync as it not only cancel the ongoing work but also
disables new submit which is disarable since the object holding the work
is about to be freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix oops due to NULL pointer dereference in brcmf_sdiod_sglist_rw()
This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference bug in brcmfmac that occurs
when a high 'sd_sgentry_align' value applies (e.g. 512) and a lot of queued SKBs
are sent from the pkt queue.
The problem is the number of entries in the pre-allocated sgtable, it is
nents = max(rxglom_size, txglom_size) + max(rxglom_size, txglom_size) >> 4 + 1.
Given the default [rt]xglom_size=32 it's actually 35 which is too small.
Worst case, the pkt queue can end up with 64 SKBs. This occurs when a new SKB
is added for each original SKB if tailroom isn't enough to hold tail_pad.
At least one sg entry is needed for each SKB. So, eventually the "skb_queue_walk loop"
in brcmf_sdiod_sglist_rw may run out of sg entries. This makes sg_next return
NULL and this causes the oops.
The patch sets nents to max(rxglom_size, txglom_size) * 2 to be able handle
the worst-case.
Btw. this requires only 64-35=29 * 16 (or 20 if CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH) = 464
additional bytes of memory.

When the value of lp is 0 at the beginning of the for loop, it will

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
leds: class: Protect brightness_show() with led_cdev->led_access mutex
There is NULL pointer issue observed if from Process A where hid device
being added which results in adding a led_cdev addition and later a
another call to access of led_cdev attribute from Process B can result
in NULL pointer issue.
Use mutex led_cdev->led_access to protect access to led->cdev and its
attribute inside brightness_show() and max_brightness_show() and also
update the comment for mutex that it should be used to protect the led
class device fields.

ovl: Filter invalid inodes with missing lookup function
Add a check to the ovl_dentry_weird() function to prevent the
processing of directory inodes that lack the lookup function.
This is important because such inodes can cause errors in overlayfs
when passed to the lowerstack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Fix use-after-free of slot->bus on hot remove
Dennis reports a boot crash on recent Lenovo laptops with a USB4 dock.
Since commit 0fc70886569c ("thunderbolt: Reset USB4 v2 host router") and
commit 59a54c5f3dbd ("thunderbolt: Reset topology created by the boot
firmware"), USB4 v2 and v1 Host Routers are reset on probe of the
thunderbolt driver.
The reset clears the Presence Detect State and Data Link Layer Link Active
bits at the USB4 Host Router's Root Port and thus causes hot removal of the
dock.
The crash occurs when pciehp is unbound from one of the dock's Downstream
Ports: pciehp creates a pci_slot on bind and destroys it on unbind. The
pci_slot contains a pointer to the pci_bus below the Downstream Port, but
a reference on that pci_bus is never acquired. The pci_bus is destroyed
before the pci_slot, so a use-after-free ensues when pci_slot_release()
accesses slot->bus.
In principle this should not happen because pci_stop_bus_device() unbinds
pciehp (and therefore destroys the pci_slot) before the pci_bus is
destroyed by pci_remove_bus_device().
However the stacktrace provided by Dennis shows that pciehp is unbound from
pci_remove_bus_device() instead of pci_stop_bus_device(). To understand
the significance of this, one needs to know that the PCI core uses a two
step process to remove a portion of the hierarchy: It first unbinds all
drivers in the sub-hierarchy in pci_stop_bus_device() and then actually
removes the devices in pci_remove_bus_device(). There is no precaution to
prevent driver binding in-between pci_stop_bus_device() and
pci_remove_bus_device().
In Dennis' case, it seems removal of the hierarchy by pciehp races with
driver binding by pci_bus_add_devices(). pciehp is bound to the
Downstream Port after pci_stop_bus_device() has run, so it is unbound by
pci_remove_bus_device() instead of pci_stop_bus_device(). Because the
pci_bus has already been destroyed at that point, accesses to it result in
a use-after-free.
One might conclude that driver binding needs to be prevented after
pci_stop_bus_device() has run. However it seems risky that pci_slot points
to pci_bus without holding a reference. Solely relying on correct ordering
of driver unbind versus pci_bus destruction is certainly not defensive
programming.
If pci_slot has a need to access data in pci_bus, it ought to acquire a
reference. Amend pci_create_slot() accordingly. Dennis reports that the
crash is not reproducible with this change.

The following sequence led to the scenario:
- Userspace creates a VM and a vCPU.
- The vCPU is initialized with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3 during
KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT.
- Without any other setup, such as vGIC or vPMU, userspace issues
KVM_RUN on the vCPU. Since the vPMU is requested, but not setup,
kvm_arm_pmu_v3_enable() fails in kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change().
As a result, KVM_RUN returns after enabling the timer, but before
incrementing 'userspace_irqchip_in_use':
kvm_arch_vcpu_run_pid_change()
ret = kvm_arm_pmu_v3_enable()
if (!vcpu->arch.pmu.created)
return -EINVAL;
if (ret)
return ret;
[...]
if (!irqchip_in_kernel(kvm))
static_branch_inc(&userspace_irqchip_in_use);
- Userspace ignores the error and issues KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT again.
Since the timer is already enabled, control moves through the
following flow, ultimately hitting the WARN_ON():
kvm_timer_vcpu_reset()
if (timer->enabled)
kvm_timer_update_irq()
if (!userspace_irqchip())
ret = kvm_vgic_inject_irq()

Theoretically, since userspace_irqchip_in_use's functionality can be
simply replaced by '!irqchip_in_kernel()', get rid of the static key
to avoid the mismanagement, which also helps with the syzbot issue.
