Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.25 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: avoid skb access on nf_stolen
When verdict is NF_STOLEN, the skb might have been freed.
When tracing is enabled, this can result in a use-after-free:
1. access to skb->nf_trace
2. access to skb->mark
3. computation of trace id
4. dump of packet payload
To avoid 1, keep a cached copy of skb->nf_trace in the
trace state struct.
Refresh this copy whenever verdict is != STOLEN.
Avoid 2 by skipping skb->mark access if verdict is STOLEN.
3 is avoided by precomputing the trace id.
Only dump the packet when verdict is not "STOLEN".

This happens because the allocation uses the wrong unit (bits) when it
should pass (BITS_TO_LONGS(count) * sizeof(long)) or equivalent. With small
numbers of bits, the allocated object can be smaller than sizeof(long),
which results in invalid accesses.
Use bitmap_zalloc() to allocate and initialize the irq bitmap, paired with
bitmap_free() for consistency.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: rt711-sdca: fix kernel NULL pointer dereference when IO error
The initial settings will be written before the codec probe function.
But, the rt711->component doesn't be assigned yet.
If IO error happened during initial settings operations, it will cause the kernel panic.
This patch changed component->dev to slave->dev to fix this issue.

KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_task (2)
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=d6eb90f952c2a5de9ea718a1b873c55cb13b59dc
This patch seems to fix below bug too.
KMSAN: uninit-value in mpol_rebind_mm (2)
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?id=f2fecd0d7013f54ec4162f60743a2b28df40926b
The uninit-value is pol->w.cpuset_mems_allowed in mpol_rebind_policy().
When syzkaller reproducer runs to the beginning of mpol_new(),
mpol_new() mm/mempolicy.c
do_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c
kernel_mbind() mm/mempolicy.c
`mode` is 1(MPOL_PREFERRED), nodes_empty(*nodes) is `true` and `flags`
is 0. Then
mode = MPOL_LOCAL;
...
policy->mode = mode;
policy->flags = flags;
will be executed. So in mpol_set_nodemask(),
mpol_set_nodemask() mm/mempolicy.c
do_mbind()
kernel_mbind()
pol->mode is 4 (MPOL_LOCAL), that `nodemask` in `pol` is not initialized,
which will be accessed in mpol_rebind_policy().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: Don't null dereference ops->destroy
A KVM device cleanup happens in either of two callbacks:
1) destroy() which is called when the VM is being destroyed;
2) release() which is called when a device fd is closed.
Most KVM devices use 1) but Book3s's interrupt controller KVM devices
(XICS, XIVE, XIVE-native) use 2) as they need to close and reopen during
the machine execution. The error handling in kvm_ioctl_create_device()
assumes destroy() is always defined which leads to NULL dereference as
discovered by Syzkaller.
This adds a checks for destroy!=NULL and adds a missing release().
This is not changing kvm_destroy_devices() as devices with defined
release() should have been removed from the KVM devices list by then.
