Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.10.94 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: teql: Fix double-free in teql_master_xmit
Whenever a TEQL devices has a lockless Qdisc as root, qdisc_reset should
be called using the seq_lock to avoid racing with the datapath. Failure
to do so may cause crashes like the following:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: runtime: Fix a race condition related to device removal
The following code in pm_runtime_work() may dereference the dev->parent
pointer after the parent device has been freed:
/* Maybe the parent is now able to suspend. */
if (parent && !parent->power.ignore_children) {
spin_unlock(&dev->power.lock);
spin_lock(&parent->power.lock);
rpm_idle(parent, RPM_ASYNC);
spin_unlock(&parent->power.lock);
spin_lock(&dev->power.lock);
}
Fix this by inserting a flush_work() call in pm_runtime_remove().
Without this patch blktest block/001 triggers the following complaint
sporadically:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: aqc111: Do not perform PM inside suspend callback
syzbot reports "task hung in rpm_resume"
This is caused by aqc111_suspend calling
the PM variant of its write_cmd routine.
The simplified call trace looks like this:
rpm_suspend()
usb_suspend_both() - here udev->dev.power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDING
aqc111_suspend() - called for the usb device interface
aqc111_write32_cmd()
usb_autopm_get_interface()
pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
rpm_resume() - here we call rpm_resume() on our parent
rpm_resume() - Here we wait for a status change that will never happen.
At this point we block another task which holds
rtnl_lock and locks up the whole networking stack.
Fix this by replacing the write_cmd calls with their _nopm variants

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to NDP32 nframes bounds check
The same bounds-check bug fixed for NDP16 in the previous patch also
exists in cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp32(). The DPE array size is validated
against the total skb length without accounting for ndpoffset, allowing
out-of-bounds reads when the NDP32 is placed near the end of the NTB.
Add ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check and use struct_size_t() to
express the NDP-plus-DPE-array size more clearly.
Compile-tested only.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to NDP16 nframes bounds check
cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp16() validates that the NDP header and its DPE
entries fit within the skb. The first check correctly accounts for
ndpoffset:
if ((ndpoffset + sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16)) > skb_in->len)
but the second check omits it:
if ((sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_ndp16) +
ret * (sizeof(struct usb_cdc_ncm_dpe16))) > skb_in->len)
This validates the DPE array size against the total skb length as if
the NDP were at offset 0, rather than at ndpoffset. When the NDP is
placed near the end of the NTB (large wNdpIndex), the DPE entries can
extend past the skb data buffer even though the check passes.
cdc_ncm_rx_fixup() then reads out-of-bounds memory when iterating
the DPE array.
Add ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check and use struct_size_t() to
express the NDP-plus-DPE-array size more clearly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: add NULL checks for idev in SRv6 paths
__in6_dev_get() can return NULL when the device has no IPv6 configuration
(e.g. MTU < IPV6_MIN_MTU or after NETDEV_UNREGISTER).
Add NULL checks for idev returned by __in6_dev_get() in both
seg6_hmac_validate_skb() and ipv6_srh_rcv() to prevent potential NULL
pointer dereferences.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: always free skb on ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() failure
ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() has three error paths, but only two of them
free the skb. The first error path (ieee80211_tx_prepare() returning
TX_DROP) does not free it, while invoke_tx_handlers() failure and the
fragmentation check both do.
Add kfree_skb() to the first error path so all three are consistent,
and remove the now-redundant frees in callers (ath9k, mt76,
mac80211_hwsim) to avoid double-free.
Document the skb ownership guarantee in the function's kdoc.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp_tunnel: fix NULL deref caused by udp_sock_create6 when CONFIG_IPV6=n
When CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled, the udp_sock_create6() function returns 0
(success) without actually creating a socket. Callers such as
fou_create() then proceed to dereference the uninitialized socket
pointer, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference.
The captured NULL deref crash:
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018

This patch makes udp_sock_create6 return -EPFNOSUPPORT instead, so
callers correctly take their error paths. There is only one caller of
the vulnerable function and only privileged users can trigger it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: rawnand: serialize lock/unlock against other NAND operations
nand_lock() and nand_unlock() call into chip->ops.lock_area/unlock_area
without holding the NAND device lock. On controllers that implement
SET_FEATURES via multiple low-level PIO commands, these can race with
concurrent UBI/UBIFS background erase/write operations that hold the
device lock, resulting in cmd_pending conflicts on the NAND controller.
Add nand_get_device()/nand_release_device() around the lock/unlock
operations to serialize them against all other NAND controller access.
