Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.7.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: Do not free q_vector unless new one was allocated
Avoid potential use-after-free condition under memory pressure. If the
kzalloc() fails, q_vector will be freed but left in the original
adapter->q_vector[v_idx] array position.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/mediatek: Fix crash on isr after kexec()
If the system is rebooted via isr(), the IRQ handler might
be triggered before the domain is initialized. Resulting on
an invalid memory access error.
Fix:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: qcom: fix writes in read-only memory region
This commit fixes a kernel oops because of a write in some read-only memory:
[ 9.068287] Unable to handle kernel write to read-only memory at virtual address ffff800009240ad8
..snip..
[ 9.138790] Internal error: Oops: 9600004f [#1] PREEMPT SMP
..snip..
[ 9.269161] Call trace:
[ 9.276271] __memcpy+0x5c/0x230
[ 9.278531] snprintf+0x58/0x80
[ 9.282002] qcom_cpufreq_msm8939_name_version+0xb4/0x190
[ 9.284869] qcom_cpufreq_probe+0xc8/0x39c
..snip..
The following line defines a pointer that point to a char buffer stored
in read-only memory:
char *pvs_name = "speedXX-pvsXX-vXX";
This pointer is meant to hold a template "speedXX-pvsXX-vXX" where the
XX values get overridden by the qcom_cpufreq_krait_name_version function. Since
the template is actually stored in read-only memory, when the function
executes the following call we get an oops:
snprintf(*pvs_name, sizeof("speedXX-pvsXX-vXX"), "speed%d-pvs%d-v%d",
speed, pvs, pvs_ver);
To fix this issue, we instead store the template name onto the stack by
using the following syntax:
char pvs_name_buffer[] = "speedXX-pvsXX-vXX";
Because the `pvs_name` needs to be able to be assigned to NULL, the
template buffer is stored in the pvs_name_buffer and not under the
pvs_name variable.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: fix use-after-free on source server when doing inter-server copy
Use-after-free occurred when the laundromat tried to free expired
cpntf_state entry on the s2s_cp_stateids list after inter-server
copy completed. The sc_cp_list that the expired copy state was
inserted on was already freed.
When COPY completes, the Linux client normally sends LOCKU(lock_state x),
FREE_STATEID(lock_state x) and CLOSE(open_state y) to the source server.
The nfs4_put_stid call from nfsd4_free_stateid cleans up the copy state
from the s2s_cp_stateids list before freeing the lock state's stid.
However, sometimes the CLOSE was sent before the FREE_STATEID request.
When this happens, the nfsd4_close_open_stateid call from nfsd4_close
frees all lock states on its st_locks list without cleaning up the copy
state on the sc_cp_list list. When the time the FREE_STATEID arrives the
server returns BAD_STATEID since the lock state was freed. This causes
the use-after-free error to occur when the laundromat tries to free
the expired cpntf_state.
This patch adds a call to nfs4_free_cpntf_statelist in
nfsd4_close_open_stateid to clean up the copy state before calling
free_ol_stateid_reaplist to free the lock state's stid on the reaplist.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cxl: fix possible null-ptr-deref in cxl_pci_init_afu|adapter()
If device_register() fails in cxl_pci_afu|adapter(), the device
is not added, device_unregister() can not be called in the error
path, otherwise it will cause a null-ptr-deref because of removing
not added device.
As comment of device_register() says, it should use put_device() to give
up the reference in the error path. So split device_unregister() into
device_del() and put_device(), then goes to put dev when register fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: fix possible UAF when kfifo_alloc() fails
If kfifo_alloc() fails in mport_cdev_open(), goto err_fifo and just free
priv. But priv is still in the chdev->file_list, then list traversal
may cause UAF. This fixes the following smatch warning:
drivers/rapidio/devices/rio_mport_cdev.c:1930 mport_cdev_open() warn: '&priv->list' not removed from list

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/af_unix: defer registered files gc to io_uring release
Instead of putting io_uring's registered files in unix_gc() we want it
to be done by io_uring itself. The trick here is to consider io_uring
registered files for cycle detection but not actually putting them down.
Because io_uring can't register other ring instances, this will remove
all refs to the ring file triggering the ->release path and clean up
with io_ring_ctx_free().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: abort transaction on unexpected eb generation at btrfs_copy_root()
If we find an unexpected generation for the extent buffer we are cloning
at btrfs_copy_root(), we just WARN_ON() and don't error out and abort the
transaction, meaning we allow to persist metadata with an unexpected
generation. Instead of warning only, abort the transaction and return
-EUCLEAN.
