Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.307 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
objtool, media: dib8000: Prevent divide-by-zero in dib8000_set_dds()
If dib8000_set_dds()'s call to dib8000_read32() returns zero, the result
is a divide-by-zero. Prevent that from happening.
Fixes the following warning with an UBSAN kernel:
drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dib8000.o: warning: objtool: dib8000_tune() falls through to next function dib8096p_cfg_DibRx()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Fix potential buffer overflow in parse_ivrs_acpihid
There is a string parsing logic error which can lead to an overflow of hid
or uid buffers. Comparing ACPIID_LEN against a total string length doesn't
take into account the lengths of individual hid and uid buffers so the
check is insufficient in some cases. For example if the length of hid
string is 4 and the length of the uid string is 260, the length of str
will be equal to ACPIID_LEN + 1 but uid string will overflow uid buffer
which size is 256.
The same applies to the hid string with length 13 and uid string with
length 250.
Check the length of hid and uid strings separately to prevent
buffer overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sch_htb: make htb_qlen_notify() idempotent
htb_qlen_notify() always deactivates the HTB class and in fact could
trigger a warning if it is already deactivated. Therefore, it is not
idempotent and not friendly to its callers, like fq_codel_dequeue().
Let's make it idempotent to ease qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog() callers'
life.

It has been reported that trace_seq_to_buffer() tries to copy more data
than PAGE_SIZE to buf. Therefore, to prevent this, we should use the
smaller of trace_seq_used(&iter->seq) and PAGE_SIZE as an argument.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: inftlcore: Add error check for inftl_read_oob()
In INFTL_findwriteunit(), the return value of inftl_read_oob()
need to be checked. A proper implementation can be
found in INFTL_deleteblock(). The status will be set as
SECTOR_IGNORE to break from the while-loop correctly
if the inftl_read_oob() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dw2102: Fix null-ptr-deref in dw2102_i2c_transfer()
In dw2102_i2c_transfer, 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 dw2102_i2c_transfer. 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:
Bluetooth: btsdio: fix use after free bug in btsdio_remove due to race condition
In btsdio_probe, the data->work is bound with btsdio_work. It will be
started in btsdio_send_frame.
If the btsdio_remove runs with a unfinished work, there may be a race
condition that hdev is freed but used in btsdio_work. Fix it by
canceling the work before do cleanup in btsdio_remove.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/core: Fix WARN_ON(!ctx) in __free_event() for partial init
Move the get_ctx(child_ctx) call and the child_event->ctx assignment to
occur immediately after the child event is allocated. Ensure that
child_event->ctx is non-NULL before any subsequent error path within
inherit_event calls free_event(), satisfying the assumptions of the
cleanup code.
Details:
There's no clear Fixes tag, because this bug is a side-effect of
multiple interacting commits over time (up to 15 years old), not
a single regression.
The code initially incremented refcount then assigned context
immediately after the child_event was created. Later, an early
validity check for child_event was added before the
refcount/assignment. Even later, a WARN_ON_ONCE() cleanup check was
added, assuming event->ctx is valid if the pmu_ctx is valid.
The problem is that the WARN_ON_ONCE() could trigger after the initial
check passed but before child_event->ctx was assigned, violating its
precondition. The solution is to assign child_event->ctx right after
its initial validation. This ensures the context exists for any
subsequent checks or cleanup routines, resolving the WARN_ON_ONCE().
To resolve it, defer the refcount update and child_event->ctx assignment
directly after child_event->pmu_ctx is set but before checking if the
parent event is orphaned. The cleanup routine depends on
event->pmu_ctx being non-NULL before it verifies event->ctx is
non-NULL. This also maintains the author's original intent of passing
in child_ctx to find_get_pmu_context before its refcount/assignment.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
9p/net: fix improper handling of bogus negative read/write replies
In p9_client_write() and p9_client_read_once(), if the server
incorrectly replies with success but a negative write/read count then we
would consider written (negative) <= rsize (positive) because both
variables were signed.
Make variables unsigned to avoid this problem.
The reproducer linked below now fails with the following error instead
of a null pointer deref:
9pnet: bogus RWRITE count (4294967295 > 3)
