Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.14 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
swiotlb: fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE
The problem I'm addressing was discovered by the LTP test covering
cve-2018-1000204.
A short description of what happens follows:
1) The test case issues a command code 00 (TEST UNIT READY) via the SG_IO
interface with: dxfer_len == 524288, dxdfer_dir == SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV
and a corresponding dxferp. The peculiar thing about this is that TUR
is not reading from the device.
2) In sg_start_req() the invocation of blk_rq_map_user() effectively
bounces the user-space buffer. As if the device was to transfer into
it. Since commit a45b599ad808 ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in
sg_build_indirect()") we make sure this first bounce buffer is
allocated with GFP_ZERO.
3) For the rest of the story we keep ignoring that we have a TUR, so the
device won't touch the buffer we prepare as if the we had a
DMA_FROM_DEVICE type of situation. My setup uses a virtio-scsi device
and the buffer allocated by SG is mapped by the function
virtqueue_add_split() which uses DMA_FROM_DEVICE for the "in" sgs (here
scatter-gather and not scsi generics). This mapping involves bouncing
via the swiotlb (we need swiotlb to do virtio in protected guest like
s390 Secure Execution, or AMD SEV).
4) When the SCSI TUR is done, we first copy back the content of the second
(that is swiotlb) bounce buffer (which most likely contains some
previous IO data), to the first bounce buffer, which contains all
zeros. Then we copy back the content of the first bounce buffer to
the user-space buffer.
5) The test case detects that the buffer, which it zero-initialized,
ain't all zeros and fails.
One can argue that this is an swiotlb problem, because without swiotlb
we leak all zeros, and the swiotlb should be transparent in a sense that
it does not affect the outcome (if all other participants are well
behaved).
Copying the content of the original buffer into the swiotlb buffer is
the only way I can think of to make swiotlb transparent in such
scenarios. So let's do just that if in doubt, but allow the driver
to tell us that the whole mapped buffer is going to be overwritten,
in which case we can preserve the old behavior and avoid the performance
impact of the extra bounce.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix a race on command flush flow
Fix a refcount use after free warning due to a race on command entry.
Such race occurs when one of the commands releases its last refcount and
frees its index and entry while another process running command flush
flow takes refcount to this command entry. The process which handles
commands flush may see this command as needed to be flushed if the other
process released its refcount but didn't release the index yet. Fix it
by adding the needed spin lock.
It fixes the following warning trace:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix NULL pointer dereference in ice_update_vsi_tx_ring_stats()
It is possible to do NULL pointer dereference in routine that updates
Tx ring stats. Currently only stats and bytes are updated when ring
pointer is valid, but later on ring is accessed to propagate gathered Tx
stats onto VSI stats.
Change the existing logic to move to next ring when ring is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix race condition during interface enslave
Commit 5dbbbd01cbba83 ("ice: Avoid RTNL lock when re-creating
auxiliary device") changes a process of re-creation of aux device
so ice_plug_aux_dev() is called from ice_service_task() context.
This unfortunately opens a race window that can result in dead-lock
when interface has left LAG and immediately enters LAG again.
Reproducer:
```
#!/bin/sh
ip link add lag0 type bond mode 1 miimon 100
ip link set lag0
for n in {1..10}; do
echo Cycle: $n
ip link set ens7f0 master lag0
sleep 1
ip link set ens7f0 nomaster
done
```
This results in:

1. Command 'ip link ... set nomaster' causes that ice_plug_aux_dev()
is called from ice_service_task() context, aux device is created
and associated device->lock is taken.
2. Command 'ip link ... set master...' calls ice's notifier under
RTNL lock and that notifier calls ice_unplug_aux_dev(). That
function tries to take aux device->lock but this is already taken
by ice_plug_aux_dev() in step 1
3. Later ice_plug_aux_dev() tries to take RTNL lock but this is already
taken in step 2
4. Dead-lock
The patch fixes this issue by following changes:
- Bit ICE_FLAG_PLUG_AUX_DEV is kept to be set during ice_plug_aux_dev()
call in ice_service_task()
- The bit is checked in ice_clear_rdma_cap() and only if it is not set
then ice_unplug_aux_dev() is called. If it is set (in other words
plugging of aux device was requested and ice_plug_aux_dev() is
potentially running) then the function only clears the

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vrr: Set VRR capable prop only if it is attached to connector
VRR capable property is not attached by default to the connector
It is attached only if VRR is supported.
So if the driver tries to call drm core set prop function without
it being attached that causes NULL dereference.

...for each but CPU 0/boot.
Basic debug printks right before the mentioned line say:
[ 0.048170] CPU: 1, smt_mask:
So smt_mask, which is sibling mask obviously, is empty when entering
the function.
This is critical, as sched_core_cpu_starting() calculates
core-scheduling parameters only once per CPU start, and it's crucial
to have all the parameters filled in at that moment (at least it
uses cpu_smt_mask() which in fact is `&cpu_sibling_map[cpu]` on
MIPS).
A bit of debugging led me to that set_cpu_sibling_map() performing
the actual map calculation, was being invocated after
notify_cpu_start(), and exactly the latter function starts CPU HP
callback round (sched_core_cpu_starting() is basically a CPU HP
callback).
While the flow is same on ARM64 (maps after the notifier, although
before calling set_cpu_online()), x86 started calculating sibling
maps earlier than starting the CPU HP callbacks in Linux 4.14 (see
[0] for the reference). Neither me nor my brief tests couldn't find
any potential caveats in calculating the maps right after performing
delay calibration, but the WARN splat is now gone.
The very same debug prints now yield exactly what I expected from
them:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt_ioctl: fix array_index_nospec in vt_setactivate
array_index_nospec ensures that an out-of-bounds value is set to zero
on the transient path. Decreasing the value by one afterwards causes
a transient integer underflow. vsa.console should be decreased first
and then sanitized with array_index_nospec.
