Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.18.132 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/radeon: fix potential buffer overflow in ni_set_mc_special_registers()
The last case label can write two buffers 'mc_reg_address[j]' and
'mc_data[j]' with 'j' offset equal to SMC_NISLANDS_MC_REGISTER_ARRAY_SIZE
since there are no checks for this value in both case labels after the
last 'j++'.
Instead of changing '>' to '>=' there, add the bounds check at the start
of the second 'case' (the first one already has it).
Also, remove redundant last checks for 'j' index bigger than array size.
The expression is always false. Moreover, before or after the patch
'table->last' can be equal to SMC_NISLANDS_MC_REGISTER_ARRAY_SIZE and it
seems it can be a valid value.
Detected using the static analysis tool - Svace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath9k: fix use-after-free in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb
Syzbot reported use-after-free Read in ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb() [0]. The
problem was in incorrect htc_handle->drv_priv initialization.
Probable call trace which can trigger use-after-free:
ath9k_htc_probe_device()
/* htc_handle->drv_priv = priv; */
ath9k_htc_wait_for_target() <--- Failed
ieee80211_free_hw() <--- priv pointer is freed
<IRQ>
...
ath9k_hif_usb_rx_cb()
ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream()
RX_STAT_INC() <--- htc_handle->drv_priv access
In order to not add fancy protection for drv_priv we can move
htc_handle->drv_priv initialization at the end of the
ath9k_htc_probe_device() and add helper macro to make
all *_STAT_* macros NULL safe, since syzbot has reported related NULL
deref in that macros [1]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix info leak in wil_write_file_wmi()
The simple_write_to_buffer() function will succeed if even a single
byte is initialized. However, we need to initialize the whole buffer
to prevent information leaks. Just use memdup_user().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libertas: Fix possible refcount leak in if_usb_probe()
usb_get_dev will be called before lbs_get_firmware_async which means that
usb_put_dev need to be called when lbs_get_firmware_async fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix uninitialized variable use in `wil_write_file_wmi()`
Commit 7a4836560a61 changes simple_write_to_buffer() with memdup_user()
but it forgets to change the value to be returned that came from
simple_write_to_buffer() call. It results in the following warning:
warning: variable 'rc' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
return rc;
^~
Remove rc variable and just return the passed in length if the
memdup_user() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: ohci-nxp: Fix refcount leak in ohci_hcd_nxp_probe
of_parse_phandle() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

usb: host: Fix refcount leak in ehci_hcd_ppc_of_probe
of_find_compatible_node() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when done.
Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memstick/ms_block: Fix a memory leak
'erased_blocks_bitmap' is never freed. As it is allocated at the same time
as 'used_blocks_bitmap', it is likely that it should be freed also at the
same time.
Add the corresponding bitmap_free() in msb_data_clear().

After journal aborting, __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer() is executed with
holding @jh->b_state_lock, we can fix it by moving 'is_handle_aborted()'
into the area protected by @jh->b_state_lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srpt: Fix a use-after-free
Change the LIO port members inside struct srpt_port from regular members
into pointers. Allocate the LIO port data structures from inside
srpt_make_tport() and free these from inside srpt_make_tport(). Keep
struct srpt_device as long as either an RDMA port or a LIO target port is
associated with it. This patch decouples the lifetime of struct srpt_port
(controlled by the RDMA core) and struct srpt_port_id (controlled by LIO).
This patch fixes the following KASAN complaint:
BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in srpt_enable_tpg+0x31/0x70 [ib_srpt]
