Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.2.66 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/rtas: Keep MSR[RI] set when calling RTAS
RTAS runs in real mode (MSR[DR] and MSR[IR] unset) and in 32-bit big
endian mode (MSR[SF,LE] unset).
The change in MSR is done in enter_rtas() in a relatively complex way,
since the MSR value could be hardcoded.
Furthermore, a panic has been reported when hitting the watchdog interrupt
while running in RTAS, this leads to the following stack trace:
watchdog: CPU 24 Hard LOCKUP

This happens because MSR[RI] is unset when entering RTAS but there is no
valid reason to not set it here.
RTAS is expected to be called with MSR[RI] as specified in PAPR+ section
"7.2.1 Machine State":
R1–7.2.1–9. If called with MSR[RI] equal to 1, then RTAS must protect
its own critical regions from recursion by setting the MSR[RI] bit to
0 when in the critical regions.
Fixing this by reviewing the way MSR is compute before calling RTAS. Now a
hardcoded value meaning real

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/base/node.c: fix compaction sysfs file leak
Compaction sysfs file is created via compaction_register_node in
register_node. But we forgot to remove it in unregister_node. Thus
compaction sysfs file is leaked. Using compaction_unregister_node to fix
this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hfi1: Prevent panic when SDMA is disabled
If the hfi1 module is loaded with HFI1_CAP_SDMA off, a call to
hfi1_write_iter() will dereference a NULL pointer and panic. A typical
stack frame is:
sdma_select_user_engine [hfi1]
hfi1_user_sdma_process_request [hfi1]
hfi1_write_iter [hfi1]
do_iter_readv_writev
do_iter_write
vfs_writev
do_writev
do_syscall_64
The fix is to test for SDMA in hfi1_write_iter() and fail the I/O with
EINVAL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: gpio-keys - cancel delayed work only in case of GPIO
gpio_keys module can either accept gpios or interrupts. The module
initializes delayed work in case of gpios only and is only used if
debounce timer is not used, so make sure cancel_delayed_work_sync()
is called only when its gpio-backed and debounce_use_hrtimer is false.
This fixes the issue seen below when the gpio_keys module is unloaded and
an interrupt pin is used instead of GPIO:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: Avoid pci_dev_lock() AB/BA deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store()
The sysfs sriov_numvfs_store() path acquires the device lock before the
config space access lock:
sriov_numvfs_store
device_lock # A (1) acquire device lock
sriov_configure
vfio_pci_sriov_configure # (for example)
vfio_pci_core_sriov_configure
pci_disable_sriov
sriov_disable
pci_cfg_access_lock
pci_wait_cfg # B (4) wait for dev->block_cfg_access == 0
Previously, pci_dev_lock() acquired the config space access lock before the
device lock:
pci_dev_lock
pci_cfg_access_lock
dev->block_cfg_access = 1 # B (2) set dev->block_cfg_access = 1
device_lock # A (3) wait for device lock
Any path that uses pci_dev_lock(), e.g., pci_reset_function(), may
deadlock with sriov_numvfs_store() if the operations occur in the sequence
(1) (2) (3) (4).
Avoid the deadlock by reversing the order in pci_dev_lock() so it acquires
the device lock before the config space access lock, the same as the
sriov_numvfs_store() path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: annotate races around sk->sk_bound_dev_if
UDP sendmsg() is lockless, and reads sk->sk_bound_dev_if while
this field can be changed by another thread.
Adds minimal annotations to avoid KCSAN splats for UDP.
Following patches will add more annotations to potential lockless readers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dlm: fix plock invalid read
This patch fixes an invalid read showed by KASAN. A unlock will allocate a
"struct plock_op" and a followed send_op() will append it to a global
send_list data structure. In some cases a followed dev_read() moves it
to recv_list and dev_write() will cast it to "struct plock_xop" and access
fields which are only available in those structures. At this point an
invalid read happens by accessing those fields.
To fix this issue the "callback" field is moved to "struct plock_op" to
indicate that a cast to "plock_xop" is allowed and does the additional
"plock_xop" handling if set.
Example of the KASAN output which showed the invalid read:

ext4_iget
__ext4_iget
ext4_ext_check_inode
ext4_ext_check
__ext4_ext_check

Check for overlapping extents does't take effect

ext4_bread
ext4_getblk
ext4_map_blocks

ext4_es_cache_extent
ext4_es_cache_extent
__es_tree_search
ext4_es_end
BUG_ON(es->es_lblk + es->es_len < es->es_lblk)
The error ext4 extents is as follows:
0af3 0300 0400 0000 00000000 extent_header
00000000 0100 0000 12000000 extent1
00000000 0100 0000 18000000 extent2
02000000 0400 0000 14000000 extent3
In the ext4_valid_extent_entries function,
if prev is 0, no error is returned even if lblock<=prev.
This was intended to skip the check on the first extent, but
in the error image above, prev=0+1-1=0 when checking the second extent,
so even though lblock<=prev, the function does not return an error.
As a result, bug_ON occurs in __es_tree_search and the system panics.
To solve this problem, we only need to check that:
1. The lblock of the first extent is not less than 0.
2. The lblock of the next extent is not less than
the next block of the previous extent.
The same applies to extent_idx.
