Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.1.47 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: Bounds-check struct nlmsgerr creation
In preparation for FORTIFY_SOURCE doing bounds-check on memcpy(),
switch from __nlmsg_put to nlmsg_put(), and explain the bounds check
for dealing with the memcpy() across a composite flexible array struct.
Avoids this future run-time warning:
memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 32) of single field "&errmsg->msg" at net/netlink/af_netlink.c:2447 (size 16)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
9p/trans_fd: always use O_NONBLOCK read/write
syzbot is reporting hung task at p9_fd_close() [1], for p9_mux_poll_stop()
from p9_conn_destroy() from p9_fd_close() is failing to interrupt already
started kernel_read() from p9_fd_read() from p9_read_work() and/or
kernel_write() from p9_fd_write() from p9_write_work() requests.
Since p9_socket_open() sets O_NONBLOCK flag, p9_mux_poll_stop() does not
need to interrupt kernel_read()/kernel_write(). However, since p9_fd_open()
does not set O_NONBLOCK flag, but pipe blocks unless signal is pending,
p9_mux_poll_stop() needs to interrupt kernel_read()/kernel_write() when
the file descriptor refers to a pipe. In other words, pipe file descriptor
needs to be handled as if socket file descriptor.
We somehow need to interrupt kernel_read()/kernel_write() on pipes.
A minimal change, which this patch is doing, is to set O_NONBLOCK flag
from p9_fd_open(), for O_NONBLOCK flag does not affect reading/writing
of regular files. But this approach changes O_NONBLOCK flag on userspace-
supplied file descriptors (which might break userspace programs), and
O_NONBLOCK flag could be changed by userspace. It would be possible to set
O_NONBLOCK flag every time p9_fd_read()/p9_fd_write() is invoked, but still
remains small race window for clearing O_NONBLOCK flag.
If we don't want to manipulate O_NONBLOCK flag, we might be able to
surround kernel_read()/kernel_write() with set_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING)
and recalc_sigpending(). Since p9_read_work()/p9_write_work() works are
processed by kernel threads which process global system_wq workqueue,
signals could not be delivered from remote threads when p9_mux_poll_stop()
from p9_conn_destroy() from p9_fd_close() is called. Therefore, calling
set_thread_flag(TIF_SIGPENDING)/recalc_sigpending() every time would be
needed if we count on signals for making kernel_read()/kernel_write()
non-blocking.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gfs2: Check sb_bsize_shift after reading superblock
Fuzzers like to scribble over sb_bsize_shift but in reality it's very
unlikely that this field would be corrupted on its own. Nevertheless it
should be checked to avoid the possibility of messy mount errors due to
bad calculations. It's always a fixed value based on the block size so
we can just check that it's the expected value.
Tested with:
mkfs.gfs2 -O -p lock_nolock /dev/vdb
for i in 0 -1 64 65 32 33; do
gfs2_edit -p sb field sb_bsize_shift $i /dev/vdb
mount /dev/vdb /mnt/test && umount /mnt/test
done
Before this patch we get a withdraw after
[ 76.413681] gfs2: fsid=loop0.0: fatal: invalid metadata block
[ 76.413681] bh = 19 (type: exp=5, found=4)
[ 76.413681] function = gfs2_meta_buffer, file = fs/gfs2/meta_io.c, line = 492
and with UBSAN configured we also get complaints like
[ 76.373395] UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/gfs2/ops_fstype.c:295:19
[ 76.373815] shift exponent 4294967287 is too large for 64-bit type 'long unsigned int'
After the patch, these complaints don't appear, mount fails immediately
and we get an explanation in dmesg.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: avoid putting the realm twice when decoding snaps fails
When decoding the snaps fails it maybe leaving the 'first_realm'
and 'realm' pointing to the same snaprealm memory. And then it'll
put it twice and could cause random use-after-free, BUG_ON, etc
issues.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: check overflow when iterating ATTR_RECORDs
Kernel iterates over ATTR_RECORDs in mft record in ntfs_attr_find().
Because the ATTR_RECORDs are next to each other, kernel can get the next
ATTR_RECORD from end address of current ATTR_RECORD, through current
ATTR_RECORD length field.
The problem is that during iteration, when kernel calculates the end
address of current ATTR_RECORD, kernel may trigger an integer overflow bug
in executing `a = (ATTR_RECORD*)((u8*)a + le32_to_cpu(a->length))`. This
may wrap, leading to a forever iteration on 32bit systems.
This patch solves it by adding some checks on calculating end address
of current ATTR_RECORD during iteration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: at76c50x: fix use after free access in at76_disconnect
The memory pointed to by priv is freed at the end of at76_delete_device
function (using ieee80211_free_hw). But the code then accesses the udev
field of the freed object to put the USB device. This may also lead to a
memory leak of the usb device. Fix this by using udev from interface.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Purge vif txq in ieee80211_do_stop()
After ieee80211_do_stop() SKB from vif's txq could still be processed.
Indeed another concurrent vif schedule_and_wake_txq call could cause
those packets to be dequeued (see ieee80211_handle_wake_tx_queue())
without checking the sdata current state.
Because vif.drv_priv is now cleared in this function, this could lead to
driver crash.
For example in ath12k, ahvif is store in vif.drv_priv. Thus if
ath12k_mac_op_tx() is called after ieee80211_do_stop(), ahvif->ah can be
NULL, leading the ath12k_warn(ahvif->ah,...) call in this function to
trigger the NULL deref below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: cros-ec-tunnel: defer probe if parent EC is not present
When i2c-cros-ec-tunnel and the EC driver are built-in, the EC parent
device will not be found, leading to NULL pointer dereference.
That can also be reproduced by unbinding the controller driver and then
loading i2c-cros-ec-tunnel module (or binding the device).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: Prevent the use of too small fid
syzbot reported a slab-out-of-bounds Read in isofs_fh_to_parent. [1]
The handle_bytes value passed in by the reproducing program is equal to 12.
In handle_to_path(), only 12 bytes of memory are allocated for the structure
file_handle->f_handle member, which causes an out-of-bounds access when
accessing the member parent_block of the structure isofs_fid in isofs,
because accessing parent_block requires at least 16 bytes of f_handle.
Here, fh_len is used to indirectly confirm that the value of handle_bytes
is greater than 3 before accessing parent_block.
