Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.39 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pktgen: use cpus_read_lock() in pg_net_init()
I have seen the WARN_ON(smp_processor_id() != cpu) firing
in pktgen_thread_worker() during tests.
We must use cpus_read_lock()/cpus_read_unlock()
around the for_each_online_cpu(cpu) loop.
While we are at it use WARN_ON_ONCE() to avoid a possible syslog flood.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: aacraid: Fix double-free on probe failure
aac_probe_one() calls hardware-specific init functions through the
aac_driver_ident::init pointer, all of which eventually call down to
aac_init_adapter().
If aac_init_adapter() fails after allocating memory for aac_dev::queues,
it frees the memory but does not clear that member.
After the hardware-specific init function returns an error,
aac_probe_one() goes down an error path that frees the memory pointed to
by aac_dev::queues, resulting.in a double-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fix bitmap corruption on close_range() with CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE
copy_fd_bitmaps(new, old, count) is expected to copy the first
count/BITS_PER_LONG bits from old->full_fds_bits[] and fill
the rest with zeroes. What it does is copying enough words
(BITS_TO_LONGS(count/BITS_PER_LONG)), then memsets the rest.
That works fine, *if* all bits past the cutoff point are
clear. Otherwise we are risking garbage from the last word
we'd copied.
For most of the callers that is true - expand_fdtable() has
count equal to old->max_fds, so there's no open descriptors
past count, let alone fully occupied words in ->open_fds[],
which is what bits in ->full_fds_bits[] correspond to.
The other caller (dup_fd()) passes sane_fdtable_size(old_fdt, max_fds),
which is the smallest multiple of BITS_PER_LONG that covers all
opened descriptors below max_fds. In the common case (copying on
fork()) max_fds is ~0U, so all opened descriptors will be below
it and we are fine, by the same reasons why the call in expand_fdtable()
is safe.
Unfortunately, there is a case where max_fds is less than that
and where we might, indeed, end up with junk in ->full_fds_bits[] -
close_range(from, to, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE) with
* descriptor table being currently shared
* 'to' being above the current capacity of descriptor table
* 'from' being just under some chunk of opened descriptors.
In that case we end up with observably wrong behaviour - e.g. spawn
a child with CLONE_FILES, get all descriptors in range 0..127 open,
then close_range(64, ~0U, CLOSE_RANGE_UNSHARE) and watch dup(0) ending
up with descriptor #128, despite #64 being observably not open.
The minimally invasive fix would be to deal with that in dup_fd().
If this proves to add measurable overhead, we can go that way, but
let's try to fix copy_fd_bitmaps() first.
* new helper: bitmap_copy_and_expand(to, from, bits_to_copy, size).
* make copy_fd_bitmaps() take the bitmap size in words, rather than
bits; it's 'count' argument is always a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG,
so we are not losing any information, and that way we can use the
same helper for all three bitmaps - compiler will see that count
is a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG for the large ones, so it'll generate
plain memcpy()+memset().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: mmc_test: Fix NULL dereference on allocation failure
If the "test->highmem = alloc_pages()" allocation fails then calling
__free_pages(test->highmem) will result in a NULL dereference. Also
change the error code to -ENOMEM instead of returning success.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-usb-v2: af9035: Fix null-ptr-deref in af9035_i2c_master_xfer
In af9035_i2c_master_xfer, msg is controlled by user. When msg[i].buf
is null and msg[i].len is zero, former checks on msg[i].buf would be
passed. Malicious data finally reach af9035_i2c_master_xfer. If accessing
msg[i].buf[0] without sanity check, null ptr deref would happen.
We add check on msg[i].len to prevent crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: prevent UAF in ip6_send_skb()
syzbot reported an UAF in ip6_send_skb() [1]
After ip6_local_out() has returned, we no longer can safely
dereference rt, unless we hold rcu_read_lock().
A similar issue has been fixed in commit
a688caa34beb ("ipv6: take rcu lock in rawv6_send_hdrinc()")
Another potential issue in ip6_finish_output2() is handled in a
separate patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/sclp: Prevent release of buffer in I/O
When a task waiting for completion of a Store Data operation is
interrupted, an attempt is made to halt this operation. If this attempt
fails due to a hardware or firmware problem, there is a chance that the
SCLP facility might store data into buffers referenced by the original
operation at a later time.
Handle this situation by not releasing the referenced data buffers if
the halt attempt fails. For current use cases, this might result in a
leak of few pages of memory in case of a rare hardware/firmware
malfunction.
