Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.3 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix memory corruption when FW resources change during ifdown
bnxt_set_dflt_rings() assumes that it is always called before any TC has
been created. So it doesn't take bp->num_tc into account and assumes
that it is always 0 or 1.
In the FW resource or capability change scenario, the FW will return
flags in bnxt_hwrm_if_change() that will cause the driver to
reinitialize and call bnxt_cancel_reservations(). This will lead to
bnxt_init_dflt_ring_mode() calling bnxt_set_dflt_rings() and bp->num_tc
may be greater than 1. This will cause bp->tx_ring[] to be sized too
small and cause memory corruption in bnxt_alloc_cp_rings().
Fix it by properly scaling the TX rings by bp->num_tc in the code
paths mentioned above. Add 2 helper functions to determine
bp->tx_nr_rings and bp->tx_nr_rings_per_tc.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: hid-ntrig: fix unable to handle page fault in ntrig_report_version()
in ntrig_report_version(), hdev parameter passed from hid_probe().
sending descriptor to /dev/uhid can make hdev->dev.parent->parent to null
if hdev->dev.parent->parent is null, usb_dev has
invalid address(0xffffffffffffff58) that hid_to_usb_dev(hdev) returned
when usb_rcvctrlpipe() use usb_dev,it trigger
page fault error for address(0xffffffffffffff58)
add null check logic to ntrig_report_version()
before calling hid_to_usb_dev()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: fix unregister_netdev call order in macb_remove()
When removing a macb device, the driver calls phy_exit() before
unregister_netdev(). This leads to a WARN from kernfs:
------------[ cut here ]------------
kernfs: can not remove 'attached_dev', no directory
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 27146 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:1683
Call trace:

The warning happens because the PHY is being exited while the netdev
is still registered. The correct order is to unregister the netdev
before shutting down the PHY and cleaning up the MDIO bus.
Fix this by moving unregister_netdev() ahead of phy_exit() in
macb_remove().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: fix "bad unlock balance" in l2cap_disconnect_rsp
conn->chan_lock isn't acquired before l2cap_get_chan_by_scid,
if l2cap_get_chan_by_scid returns NULL, then 'bad unlock balance'
is triggered.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: fix memory leak of se_io context in nfc_genl_se_io
The callback context for sending/receiving APDUs to/from the selected
secure element is allocated inside nfc_genl_se_io and supposed to be
eventually freed in se_io_cb callback function. However, there are several
error paths where the bwi_timer is not charged to call se_io_cb later, and
the cb_context is leaked.
The patch proposes to free the cb_context explicitly on those error paths.
At the moment we can't simply check 'dev->ops->se_io()' return value as it
may be negative in both cases: when the timer was charged and was not.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix leak of 'r10bio->remaining' for recovery
raid10_sync_request() will add 'r10bio->remaining' for both rdev and
replacement rdev. However, if the read io fails, recovery_request_write()
returns without issuing the write io, in this case, end_sync_request()
is only called once and 'remaining' is leaked, cause an io hang.
Fix the problem by decreasing 'remaining' according to if 'bio' and
'repl_bio' is valid.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: hi846: Fix memleak in hi846_init_controls()
hi846_init_controls doesn't clean the allocated ctrl_hdlr
in case there is a failure, which causes memleak. Add
v4l2_ctrl_handler_free to free the resource properly.
