Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.19.6 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix missing key size check for L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ
This adds a check for encryption key size upon receiving
L2CAP_LE_CONN_REQ which is required by L2CAP/LE/CFC/BV-15-C which
expects L2CAP_CR_LE_BAD_KEY_SIZE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: cx23885: Add missing unmap in snd_cx23885_hw_params()
In error path, add cx23885_alsa_dma_unmap() to release the
resource acquired by cx23885_alsa_dma_map().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: logitech-hidpp: Check maxfield in hidpp_get_report_length()
Do not crash when a report has no fields.
Fake USB gadgets can send their own HID report descriptors and can define report
structures without valid fields. This can be used to crash the kernel over USB.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbcon: check return value of con2fb_acquire_newinfo()
If fbcon_open() fails when called from con2fb_acquire_newinfo() then
info->fbcon_par pointer remains NULL which is later dereferenced.
Add check for return value of the function con2fb_acquire_newinfo() to
avoid it.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore: ram_core: fix incorrect success return when vmap() fails
In persistent_ram_vmap(), vmap() may return NULL on failure.
If offset is non-zero, adding offset_in_page(start) causes the function
to return a non-NULL pointer even though the mapping failed.
persistent_ram_buffer_map() therefore incorrectly returns success.
Subsequent access to prz->buffer may dereference an invalid address
and cause crashes.
Add proper NULL checking for vmap() failures.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: validate length in dlm_search_rsb_tree
The len parameter in dlm_dump_rsb_name() is not validated and comes
from network messages. When it exceeds DLM_RESNAME_MAXLEN, it can
cause out-of-bounds write in dlm_search_rsb_tree().
Add length validation to prevent potential buffer overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: mixer: oss: Add card disconnect checkpoints
ALSA OSS mixer layer calls the kcontrol ops rather individually, and
pending calls might be not always caught at disconnecting the device.
For avoiding the potential UAF scenarios, add sanity checks of the
card disconnection at each entry point of OSS mixer accesses. The
rwsem is taken just before that check, hence the rest context should
be covered by that properly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/umem: Fix double dma_buf_unpin in failure path
In ib_umem_dmabuf_get_pinned_with_dma_device(), the call to
ib_umem_dmabuf_map_pages() can fail. If this occurs, the dmabuf
is immediately unpinned but the umem_dmabuf->pinned flag is still
set. Then, when ib_umem_release() is called, it calls
ib_umem_dmabuf_revoke() which will call dma_buf_unpin() again.
Fix this by removing the immediate unpin upon failure and just let
the ib_umem_release/revoke path handle it. This also ensures the
proper unmap-unpin unwind ordering if the dmabuf_map_pages call
happened to fail due to dma_resv_wait_timeout (and therefore has
a non-NULL umem_dmabuf->sgt).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: handle attr_set_size() errors when truncating files
If attr_set_size() fails while truncating down, the error is silently
ignored and the inode may be left in an inconsistent state.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: bcm_vk: Fix possible null-pointer dereferences in bcm_vk_read()
In the function bcm_vk_read(), the pointer entry is checked, indicating
that it can be NULL. If entry is NULL and rc is set to -EMSGSIZE, the
following code may cause null-pointer dereferences:
struct vk_msg_blk tmp_msg = entry->to_h_msg[0];
set_msg_id(&tmp_msg, entry->usr_msg_id);
tmp_msg.size = entry->to_h_blks - 1;
To prevent these possible null-pointer dereferences, copy to_h_msg,
usr_msg_id, and to_h_blks from iter into temporary variables, and return
these temporary variables to the application instead of accessing them
through a potentially NULL entry.
