Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.14.2 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: processor: idle: Check acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() return value
The return value of acpi_fetch_acpi_dev() could be NULL, which would
cause a NULL pointer dereference to occur in acpi_device_hid().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jbd2: fix potential use-after-free in jbd2_fc_wait_bufs
In 'jbd2_fc_wait_bufs' use 'bh' after put buffer head reference count
which may lead to use-after-free.
So judge buffer if uptodate before put buffer head reference count.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix order >= MAX_ORDER warning due to crafted negative i_size
As syzbot reported [1], the root cause is that i_size field is a
signed type, and negative i_size is also less than EROFS_BLKSIZ.
As a consequence, it's handled as fast symlink unexpectedly.
Let's fall back to the generic path to deal with such unusual i_size.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: Fix hung when signal interrupts nbd_start_device_ioctl()
syzbot reported hung task [1]. The following program is a simplified
version of the reproducer:
int main(void)
{
int sv[2], fd;
if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sv) < 0)
return 1;
if ((fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 0)) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, 0x81) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, sv[0]) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT) < 0)
return 1;
return 0;
}
When signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl() waiting the condition
atomic_read(&config->recv_threads) == 0, the task can hung because it
waits the completion of the inflight IOs.
This patch fixes the issue by clearing queue, not just shutdown, when
signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl().

This happens because sata_pmp_init_links() initialize link->pmp up to
SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS while em_priv is declared as 8 elements array.
I can't find the maximum Enclosure Management ports specified in AHCI
spec v1.3.1, but "12.2.1 LED message type" states that "Port Multiplier
Information" can utilize 4 bits, which implies it can support up to 16
ports. Hence, use SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS as EM_MAX_SLOTS to resolve the
issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/intel/uncore: Fix reference count leak in hswep_has_limit_sbox()
pci_get_device() will increase the reference count for the returned
'dev'. We need to call pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count.
Since 'dev' is only used in pci_read_config_dword(), let's add
pci_dev_put() right after it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: tables: FPDT: Don't call acpi_os_map_memory() on invalid phys address
On a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600 model) there is a FPDT table
which contains invalid physical addresses, with high bits set which fall
outside the range of the CPU-s supported physical address range.
Calling acpi_os_map_memory() on such an invalid phys address leads to
the below WARN_ON in ioremap triggering resulting in an oops/stacktrace.
Add code to verify the physical address before calling acpi_os_map_memory()
to fix / avoid the oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix potential out of bound read in ext4_fc_replay_scan()
For scan loop must ensure that at least EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN space. If remain
space less than EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN which will lead to out of bound read
when mounting corrupt file system image.
ADD_RANGE/HEAD/TAIL is needed to add extra check when do journal scan, as this
three tags will read data during scan, tag length couldn't less than data length
which will read.
