Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.10.0 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix an information leak in tipc_topsrv_kern_subscr
Use a 8-byte write to initialize sub.usr_handle in
tipc_topsrv_kern_subscr(), otherwise four bytes remain uninitialized
when issuing setsockopt(..., SOL_TIPC, ...).
This resulted in an infoleak reported by KMSAN when the packet was
received:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpt3sas: Fix possible resource leaks in mpt3sas_transport_port_add()
In mpt3sas_transport_port_add(), if sas_rphy_add() returns error,
sas_rphy_free() needs be called to free the resource allocated in
sas_end_device_alloc(). Otherwise a kernel crash will happen:

Because transport_add_device() is not called when sas_rphy_add() fails, the
device is not added. When sas_rphy_remove() is subsequently called to
remove the device in the remove() path, a NULL pointer dereference happens.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm thin: Use last transaction's pmd->root when commit failed
Recently we found a softlock up problem in dm thin pool btree lookup
code due to corrupted metadata:
Kernel panic - not syncing: softlockup: hung tasks
CPU: 7 PID: 2669225 Comm: kworker/u16:3

Following process may generate a broken btree mixed with fresh and
stale btree nodes, which could get dm thin trapped in an infinite loop
while looking up data block:
Transaction 1: pmd->root = A, A->B->C // One path in btree
pmd->root = X, X->Y->Z // Copy-up
Transaction 2: X,Z is updated on disk, Y write failed.
// Commit failed, dm thin becomes read-only.
process_bio_read_only
dm_thin_find_block
__find_block
dm_btree_lookup(pmd->root)
The pmd->root points to a broken btree, Y may contain stale node
pointing to any block, for example X, which gets dm thin trapped into
a dead loop while looking up Z.
Fix this by setting pmd->root in __open_metadata(), so that dm thin
will use the last transaction's pmd->root if commit failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix potential null-deref in dm_resume
[Why]
Fixing smatch error:
dm_resume() error: we previously assumed 'aconnector->dc_link' could be null
[How]
Check if dc_link null at the beginning of the loop,
so further checks can be dropped.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mcb: mcb-parse: fix error handing in chameleon_parse_gdd()
If mcb_device_register() returns error in chameleon_parse_gdd(), the refcount
of bus and device name are leaked. Fix this by calling put_device() to give up
the reference, so they can be released in mcb_release_dev() and kobject_cleanup().

iommu/fsl_pamu: Fix resource leak in fsl_pamu_probe()
The fsl_pamu_probe() returns directly when create_csd() failed, leaving

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix size validation for non-exclusive domains (v4)
Fix amdgpu_bo_validate_size() to check whether the TTM domain manager for the
requested memory exists, else we get a kernel oops when dereferencing "man".
v2: Make the patch standalone, i.e. not dependent on local patches.
v3: Preserve old behaviour and just check that the manager pointer is not
NULL.
v4: Complain if GTT domain requested and it is uninitialized--most likely a
bug.

This patch fixes the issue by checking also on DLM_LKF_VALBLK on exflags
is set when copying the lvbptr array instead of if it's just null which
fixes for me the issue.
I think this patch can fix other dlm users as well, depending how they
handle the init, freeing memory handling of sb_lvbptr and don't set
DLM_LKF_VALBLK for some dlm_lock() calls. It might a there could be a
hidden issue all the time. However with checking on DLM_LKF_VALBLK the
user always need to provide a sb_lvbptr non-null value. There might be
more intelligent handling between per ls lvblen, DLM_LKF_VALBLK and
non-null to report the user the way how DLM API is used is wrong but can
be added for later, this will only fix the current behaviour.
