Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.15.58 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: validate bsscfg indices in IF events
brcmf_fweh_handle_if_event() validates the firmware-provided interface
index before it touches drvr->iflist[], but it still uses the raw
bsscfgidx field as an array index without a matching range check.
Reject IF events whose bsscfg index does not fit in drvr->iflist[]
before indexing the interface array.
[add missing wifi prefix]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: roccat: fix use-after-free in roccat_report_event
roccat_report_event() iterates over the device->readers list without
holding the readers_lock. This allows a concurrent roccat_release() to
remove and free a reader while it's still being accessed, leading to a
use-after-free.
Protect the readers list traversal with the readers_lock mutex.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: s3fwrn5: allocate rx skb before consuming bytes
s3fwrn82_uart_read() reports the number of accepted bytes to the serdev
core. The current code consumes bytes into recv_skb and may already
deliver a complete frame before allocating a fresh receive buffer.
If that alloc_skb() fails, the callback returns 0 even though it has
already consumed bytes, and it leaves recv_skb as NULL for the next
receive callback. That breaks the receive_buf() accounting contract and
can also lead to a NULL dereference on the next skb_put_u8().
Allocate the receive skb lazily before consuming the next byte instead.
If allocation fails, return the number of bytes already accepted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: icmp: fix null-ptr-deref in icmp_build_probe()
ipv6_stub->ipv6_dev_find() may return ERR_PTR(-EAFNOSUPPORT) when the
IPv6 stack is not active (CONFIG_IPV6=m and not loaded), and passing
this error pointer to dev_hold() will cause a kernel crash with
null-ptr-deref.
Instead, silently discard the request. RFC 8335 does not appear to
define a specific response for the case where an IPv6 interface
identifier is syntactically valid but the implementation cannot perform
the lookup at runtime, and silently dropping the request may safer than
misreporting "No Such Interface".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: ioam: fix potential NULL dereferences in __ioam6_fill_trace_data()
We need to check __in6_dev_get() for possible NULL value, as
suggested by Yiming Qian.
Also add skb_dst_dev_rcu() instead of skb_dst_dev(),
and two missing READ_ONCE().
Note that @dev can't be NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: lapbether: handle NETDEV_PRE_TYPE_CHANGE
lapbeth_data_transmit() expects the underlying device type
to be ARPHRD_ETHER.
Returning NOTIFY_BAD from lapbeth_device_event() makes sure
bonding driver can not break this expectation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: Fix a memory leak in hang state error path
When vc4_save_hang_state() encounters an early return condition, it
returns without freeing the previously allocated `kernel_state`,
leaking memory.
Add the missing kfree() calls by consolidating the early return paths
into a single place.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: af_key: zero aligned sockaddr tail in PF_KEY exports
PF_KEY export paths use `pfkey_sockaddr_size()` when reserving sockaddr
payload space, so IPv6 addresses occupy 32 bytes on the wire. However,
`pfkey_sockaddr_fill()` initializes only the first 28 bytes of
`struct sockaddr_in6`, leaving the final 4 aligned bytes uninitialized.
Not every PF_KEY message is affected. The state and policy dump builders
already zero the whole message buffer before filling the sockaddr
payloads. Keep the fix to the export paths that still append aligned
sockaddr payloads with plain `skb_put()`:
- `SADB_ACQUIRE`
- `SADB_X_NAT_T_NEW_MAPPING`
- `SADB_X_MIGRATE`
Fix those paths by clearing only the aligned sockaddr tail after
`pfkey_sockaddr_fill()`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm_user: fix info leak in build_mapping()
struct xfrm_usersa_id has a one-byte padding hole after the proto
field, which ends up never getting set to zero before copying out to
userspace. Fix that up by zeroing out the whole structure before
setting individual variables.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfrm: Wait for RCU readers during policy netns exit
xfrm_policy_fini() frees the policy_bydst hash tables after flushing the
policy work items and deleting all policies, but it does not wait for
concurrent RCU readers to leave their read-side critical sections first.
The policy_bydst tables are published via rcu_assign_pointer() and are
looked up through rcu_dereference_check(), so netns teardown must also
wait for an RCU grace period before freeing the table memory.
Fix this by adding synchronize_rcu() before freeing the policy hash tables.
