Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.10 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix use-after-free when attempting to join an aborted transaction
When we are trying to join the current transaction and if it's aborted,
we read its 'aborted' field after unlocking fs_info->trans_lock and
without holding any extra reference count on it. This means that a
concurrent task that is aborting the transaction may free the transaction
before we read its 'aborted' field, leading to a use-after-free.
Fix this by reading the 'aborted' field while holding fs_info->trans_lock
since any freeing task must first acquire that lock and set
fs_info->running_transaction to NULL before freeing the transaction.
This was reported by syzbot and Dmitry with the following stack traces
from KASAN:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix possible int overflows in nilfs_fiemap()
Since nilfs_bmap_lookup_contig() in nilfs_fiemap() calculates its result
by being prepared to go through potentially maxblocks == INT_MAX blocks,
the value in n may experience an overflow caused by left shift of blkbits.
While it is extremely unlikely to occur, play it safe and cast right hand
expression to wider type to mitigate the issue.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with static analysis
tool SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-sff: Ensure that we cannot write outside the allocated buffer
reveliofuzzing reported that a SCSI_IOCTL_SEND_COMMAND ioctl with out_len
set to 0xd42, SCSI command set to ATA_16 PASS-THROUGH, ATA command set to
ATA_NOP, and protocol set to ATA_PROT_PIO, can cause ata_pio_sector() to
write outside the allocated buffer, overwriting random memory.
While a ATA device is supposed to abort a ATA_NOP command, there does seem
to be a bug either in libata-sff or QEMU, where either this status is not
set, or the status is cleared before read by ata_sff_hsm_move().
Anyway, that is most likely a separate bug.
Looking at __atapi_pio_bytes(), it already has a safety check to ensure
that __atapi_pio_bytes() cannot write outside the allocated buffer.
Add a similar check to ata_pio_sector(), such that also ata_pio_sector()
cannot write outside the allocated buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: int3472: Check for adev == NULL
Not all devices have an ACPI companion fwnode, so adev might be NULL. This
can e.g. (theoretically) happen when a user manually binds one of
the int3472 drivers to another i2c/platform device through sysfs.
Add a check for adev not being set and return -ENODEV in that case to
avoid a possible NULL pointer deref in skl_int3472_get_acpi_buffer().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: Intel: hda-dai: Ensure DAI widget is valid during params
Each cpu DAI should associate with a widget. However, the topology might
not create the right number of DAI widgets for aggregated amps. And it
will cause NULL pointer deference.
Check that the DAI widget associated with the CPU DAI is valid to prevent
NULL pointer deference due to missing DAI widgets in topologies with
aggregated amps.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
printk: Fix signed integer overflow when defining LOG_BUF_LEN_MAX
Shifting 1 << 31 on a 32-bit int causes signed integer overflow, which
leads to undefined behavior. To prevent this, cast 1 to u32 before
performing the shift, ensuring well-defined behavior.
This change explicitly avoids any potential overflow by ensuring that
the shift occurs on an unsigned 32-bit integer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: handle a symlink read error correctly
Patch series "Convert ocfs2 to use folios".
Mark did a conversion of ocfs2 to use folios and sent it to me as a
giant patch for review ;-)
So I've redone it as individual patches, and credited Mark for the patches
where his code is substantially the same. It's not a bad way to do it;
his patch had some bugs and my patches had some bugs. Hopefully all our
bugs were different from each other. And hopefully Mark likes all the
changes I made to his code!
This patch (of 23):
If we can't read the buffer, be sure to unlock the page before returning.
