Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.288 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: tw686x: Fix memory leak in tw686x_video_init
video_device_alloc() allocates memory for vdev,
when video_register_device() fails, it doesn't release the memory and
leads to memory leak, call video_device_release() to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memory bounds
Presently ima_get_kexec_buffer() doesn't check if the previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer lies outside the addressable memory range. This can result
in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the
ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel.
The panic is usually of the form below:
$ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G'

Fix this issue by checking returned PFN range of previous kernel's
ima-kexec-buffer with page_is_ram() to ensure correct memory bounds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: fix incorrect dev_tracker usage
While investigating a separate rose issue [1], and enabling
CONFIG_NET_DEV_REFCNT_TRACKER=y, Bernard reported an orthogonal ax25 issue [2]
An ax25_dev can be used by one (or many) struct ax25_cb.
We thus need different dev_tracker, one per struct ax25_cb.
After this patch is applied, we are able to focus on rose.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: wil6210: debugfs: fix uninitialized variable use in `wil_write_file_wmi()`
Commit 7a4836560a61 changes simple_write_to_buffer() with memdup_user()
but it forgets to change the value to be returned that came from
simple_write_to_buffer() call. It results in the following warning:
warning: variable 'rc' is uninitialized when used here [-Wuninitialized]
return rc;
^~
Remove rc variable and just return the passed in length if the
memdup_user() succeeds.

Bluetooth: When HCI work queue is drained, only queue chained work
The HCI command, event, and data packet processing workqueue is drained
to avoid deadlock in commit
76727c02c1e1 ("Bluetooth: Call drain_workqueue() before resetting state").
There is another delayed work, which will queue command to this drained
workqueue. Which results in the following error report:
