Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.16.51 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: avoid using null object of framebuffer
Instead of using state->fb->obj[0] directly, get object from framebuffer
by calling drm_gem_fb_get_obj() and return error code when object is
null to avoid using null object of framebuffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau/dispnv04: fix null pointer dereference in nv17_tv_get_ld_modes
In nv17_tv_get_ld_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is
assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer dereference
on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: avoid double free special payload
If a discard request needs to be retried, and that retry may fail before
a new special payload is added, a double free will result. Clear the
RQF_SPECIAL_LOAD when the request is cleaned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: fix validation of block size
Block size should be between 512 and PAGE_SIZE and be a power of 2. The current
check does not validate this, so update the check.
Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when
loaded with bs=1536 [1].
[axboe: remove unnecessary braces and != 0 check]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix possible deadlock in io_register_iowq_max_workers()
The io_register_iowq_max_workers() function calls io_put_sq_data(),
which acquires the sqd->lock without releasing the uring_lock.
Similar to the commit 009ad9f0c6ee ("io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock
before acquiring sqd->lock"), this can lead to a potential deadlock
situation.
To resolve this issue, the uring_lock is released before calling
io_put_sq_data(), and then it is re-acquired after the function call.
This change ensures that the locks are acquired in the correct
order, preventing the possibility of a deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/radeon: check bo_va->bo is non-NULL before using it
The call to radeon_vm_clear_freed might clear bo_va->bo, so
we have to check it before dereferencing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix array-index-out-of-bounds in dml2/FCLKChangeSupport
[Why]
Potential out of bounds access in dml2_calculate_rq_and_dlg_params()
because the value of out_lowest_state_idx used as an index for FCLKChangeSupport
array can be greater than 1.
[How]
Currently dml2 core specifies identical values for all FCLKChangeSupport
elements. Always use index 0 in the condition to avoid out of bounds access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: cancel all works upon hci_unregister_dev()
syzbot is reporting that calling hci_release_dev() from hci_error_reset()
due to hci_dev_put() from hci_error_reset() can cause deadlock at
destroy_workqueue(), for hci_error_reset() is called from
hdev->req_workqueue which destroy_workqueue() needs to flush.
We need to make sure that hdev->{rx_work,cmd_work,tx_work} which are
queued into hdev->workqueue and hdev->{power_on,error_reset} which are
queued into hdev->req_workqueue are no longer running by the moment
destroy_workqueue(hdev->workqueue);
destroy_workqueue(hdev->req_workqueue);
are called from hci_release_dev().
Call cancel_work_sync() on these work items from hci_unregister_dev()
as soon as hdev->list is removed from hci_dev_list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/eeh: avoid possible crash when edev->pdev changes
If a PCI device is removed during eeh_pe_report_edev(), edev->pdev
will change and can cause a crash, hold the PCI rescan/remove lock
while taking a copy of edev->pdev->bus.
