Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.16.29 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix a possible use-after-free in controller reset during load
Unlike .queue_rq, in .submit_async_event drivers may not check the ctrl
readiness for AER submission. This may lead to a use-after-free
condition that was observed with nvme-tcp.
The race condition may happen in the following scenario:
1. driver executes its reset_ctrl_work
2. -> nvme_stop_ctrl - flushes ctrl async_event_work
3. ctrl sends AEN which is received by the host, which in turn
schedules AEN handling
4. teardown admin queue (which releases the queue socket)
5. AEN processed, submits another AER, calling the driver to submit
6. driver attempts to send the cmd
==> use-after-free
In order to fix that, add ctrl state check to validate the ctrl
is actually able to accept the AER submission.
This addresses the above race in controller resets because the driver
during teardown should:
1. change ctrl state to RESETTING
2. flush async_event_work (as well as other async work elements)
So after 1,2, any other AER command will find the
ctrl state to be RESETTING and bail out without submitting the AER.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free for aborted TMF sas_task
Currently a use-after-free may occur if a TMF sas_task is aborted before we
handle the IO completion in mpi_ssp_completion(). The abort occurs due to
timeout.
When the timeout occurs, the SAS_TASK_STATE_ABORTED flag is set and the
sas_task is freed in pm8001_exec_internal_tmf_task().
However, if the I/O completion occurs later, the I/O completion still
thinks that the sas_task is available. Fix this by clearing the ccb->task
if the TMF times out - the I/O completion handler does nothing if this
pointer is cleared.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix use-after-free for aborted SSP/STP sas_task
Currently a use-after-free may occur if a sas_task is aborted by the upper
layer before we handle the I/O completion in mpi_ssp_completion() or
mpi_sata_completion().
In this case, the following are the two steps in handling those I/O
completions:
- Call complete() to inform the upper layer handler of completion of
the I/O.
- Release driver resources associated with the sas_task in
pm8001_ccb_task_free() call.
When complete() is called, the upper layer may free the sas_task. As such,
we should not touch the associated sas_task afterwards, but we do so in the
pm8001_ccb_task_free() call.
Fix by swapping the complete() and pm8001_ccb_task_free() calls ordering.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: Fix a deadlock in the error handler
The following deadlock has been observed on a test setup:
- All tags allocated
- The SCSI error handler calls ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler()
- ufshcd_eh_host_reset_handler() queues work that calls
ufshcd_err_handler()
- ufshcd_err_handler() locks up as follows:
Workqueue: ufs_eh_wq_0 ufshcd_err_handler.cfi_jt

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sunrpc: fix reference count leaks in rpc_sysfs_xprt_state_change
The refcount leak issues take place in an error handling path. When the
3rd argument buf doesn't match with "offline", "online" or "remove", the
function simply returns -EINVAL and forgets to decrease the reference
count of a rpc_xprt object and a rpc_xprt_switch object increased by
rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt() and
rpc_sysfs_xprt_kobj_get_xprt_switch(), causing reference count leaks of
both unused objects.
Fix this issue by jumping to the error handling path labelled with
out_put when buf matches none of "offline", "online" or "remove".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xprtrdma: fix pointer derefs in error cases of rpcrdma_ep_create
If there are failures then we must not leave the non-NULL pointers with
the error value, otherwise `rpcrdma_ep_destroy` gets confused and tries
free them, resulting in an Oops.

which can can happen if:
1) The command type does something on the prep side that triggers an
audit call.
2) The thread hasn't done any operations before this that triggered
an audit call inside ->issue(), where we have audit_uring_entry()
and audit_uring_exit().
Work around this by issuing a blanket NOP operation before the SQPOLL
does anything.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: hisilicon/sec - Fix memory leak for sec resource release
The AIV is one of the SEC resources. When releasing resources,
it need to release the AIV resources at the same time.
Otherwise, memory leakage occurs.
The aiv resource release is added to the sec resource release
function.

Historically, the signed integer overflow sanitizer did not work in the
kernel due to its interaction with `-fwrapv` but this has since been
changed [1] in the newest version of Clang; It was re-enabled in the
kernel with Commit 557f8c582a9ba8ab ("ubsan: Reintroduce signed overflow
sanitizer").
Let's rework this overflow checking logic to not actually perform an
overflow during the check itself, thus avoiding the UBSAN splat.
