Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.307 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: fix potential NULL pointer dereference in dev_uevent()
If userspace reads "uevent" device attribute at the same time as another
threads unbinds the device from its driver, change to dev->driver from a
valid pointer to NULL may result in crash. Fix this by using READ_ONCE()
when fetching the pointer, and take bus' drivers klist lock to make sure
driver instance will not disappear while we access it.
Use WRITE_ONCE() when setting the driver pointer to ensure there is no
tearing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: target: Fix WRITE_SAME No Data Buffer crash
In newer version of the SBC specs, we have a NDOB bit that indicates there
is no data buffer that gets written out. If this bit is set using commands
like "sg_write_same --ndob" we will crash in target_core_iblock/file's
execute_write_same handlers when we go to access the se_cmd->t_data_sg
because its NULL.
This patch adds a check for the NDOB bit in the common WRITE SAME code
because we don't support it. And, it adds a check for zero SG elements in
each handler in case the initiator tries to send a normal WRITE SAME with
no data buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ila: do not generate empty messages in ila_xlat_nl_cmd_get_mapping()
ila_xlat_nl_cmd_get_mapping() generates an empty skb,
triggerring a recent sanity check [1].
Instead, return an error code, so that user space
can get it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix another off-by-one fsmap error on 1k block filesystems
Apparently syzbot figured out that issuing this FSMAP call:
struct fsmap_head cmd = {
.fmh_count = ...;
.fmh_keys = {
{ .fmr_device = /* ext4 dev */, .fmr_physical = 0, },
{ .fmr_device = /* ext4 dev */, .fmr_physical = 0, },
},
...
};
ret = ioctl(fd, FS_IOC_GETFSMAP, &cmd);
Produces this crash if the underlying filesystem is a 1k-block ext4
filesystem:

For GETFSMAP calls, the caller selects a physical block device by
writing its block number into fsmap_head.fmh_keys[01].fmr_device.
To query mappings for a subrange of the device, the starting byte of the
range is written to fsmap_head.fmh_keys[0].fmr_physical and the last
byte of the range goes in fsmap_head.fmh_keys[1].fmr_physical.
IOWs, to query what mappings overlap with bytes 3-14 of /dev/sda, you'd
set the inputs as follows:
fmh_keys[0] = { .fmr_device = major(8, 0), .fmr_physical = 3},
fmh_keys[1] = { .fmr_device = major(8, 0), .fmr_physical = 14},
Which would return you whatever is mapped in the 12 bytes starting at
physical offset 3.
The crash is due to insufficient range validation of keys[1] in
ext4_getfsmap_datadev. On 1k-block filesystems, block 0 is not part of
the filesystem, which means that s_first_data_block is nonzero.
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset subtracts this quantity from the blocknr
argument before cracking it into a group number and a block number
within a group. IOWs, block group 0 spans blocks 1-8192 (1-based)
instead of 0-8191 (0-based) like what happens with larger blocksizes.
The net result of this encoding is that blocknr < s_first_data_block is
not a valid input to this function. The end_fsb variable is set from
the keys that are copied from userspace, which means that in the above
example, its value is zero. That leads to an underflow here:
blocknr = blocknr - le32_to_cpu(es->s_first_data_block);
The division then operates on -1:
offset = do_div(blocknr, EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)) >>
EXT4_SB(sb)->s_cluster_bits;
Leaving an impossibly large group number (2^32-1) in blocknr.

When unregistering a net device, unregister_netdevice_many_notify()
sets the device's reg_state to NETREG_UNREGISTERING, calls notifiers
with NETDEV_UNREGISTER, and adds the device to the todo list.
Later on, devices in the todo list are processed by netdev_run_todo().
netdev_run_todo() waits devices' reference count become 1 while
rebdoadcasting NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification.
When cfusbl_device_notify() is called with NETDEV_UNREGISTER multiple
times, the parent device might be freed. This could cause UAF.
Processing NETDEV_UNREGISTER multiple times also causes inbalance of
reference count for the module.
This patch fixes the issue by accepting only first NETDEV_UNREGISTER
notification.
