Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.12.14 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: handle a symlink read error correctly
Patch series "Convert ocfs2 to use folios".
Mark did a conversion of ocfs2 to use folios and sent it to me as a
giant patch for review ;-)
So I've redone it as individual patches, and credited Mark for the patches
where his code is substantially the same. It's not a bad way to do it;
his patch had some bugs and my patches had some bugs. Hopefully all our
bugs were different from each other. And hopefully Mark likes all the
changes I made to his code!
This patch (of 23):
If we can't read the buffer, be sure to unlock the page before returning.

kvmalloc() and devm_add_action().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/gem: prevent integer overflow in msm_ioctl_gem_submit()
The "submit->cmd[i].size" and "submit->cmd[i].offset" variables are u32
values that come from the user via the submit_lookup_cmds() function.
This addition could lead to an integer wrapping bug so use size_add()
to prevent that.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: bsg: Set bsg_queue to NULL after removal
Currently, this does not cause any issues, but I believe it is necessary to
set bsg_queue to NULL after removing it to prevent potential use-after-free
(UAF) access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: handle errors that nilfs_prepare_chunk() may return
Patch series "nilfs2: fix issues with rename operations".
This series fixes BUG_ON check failures reported by syzbot around rename
operations, and a minor behavioral issue where the mtime of a child
directory changes when it is renamed instead of moved.
This patch (of 2):
The directory manipulation routines nilfs_set_link() and
nilfs_delete_entry() rewrite the directory entry in the folio/page
previously read by nilfs_find_entry(), so error handling is omitted on the
assumption that nilfs_prepare_chunk(), which prepares the buffer for
rewriting, will always succeed for these. And if an error is returned, it
triggers the legacy BUG_ON() checks in each routine.
This assumption is wrong, as proven by syzbot: the buffer layer called by
nilfs_prepare_chunk() may call nilfs_get_block() if necessary, which may
fail due to metadata corruption or other reasons. This has been there all
along, but improved sanity checks and error handling may have made it more
reproducible in fuzzing tests.
Fix this issue by adding missing error paths in nilfs_set_link(),
nilfs_delete_entry(), and their caller nilfs_rename().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: do not force clear folio if buffer is referenced
Patch series "nilfs2: protect busy buffer heads from being force-cleared".
This series fixes the buffer head state inconsistency issues reported by
syzbot that occurs when the filesystem is corrupted and falls back to
read-only, and the associated buffer head use-after-free issue.
This patch (of 2):
Syzbot has reported that after nilfs2 detects filesystem corruption and
falls back to read-only, inconsistencies in the buffer state may occur.
One of the inconsistencies is that when nilfs2 calls mark_buffer_dirty()
to set a data or metadata buffer as dirty, but it detects that the buffer
is not in the uptodate state:

Both of these issues are caused by the callbacks that handle the
page/folio write requests, forcibly clear various states, including the
working state of the buffers they hold, at unexpected times when they
detect read-only fallback.
Fix these issues by checking if the buffer is referenced before clearing
the page/folio state, and skipping the clear if it is.

net: usb: rtl8150: enable basic endpoint checking
Syzkaller reports [1] encountering a common issue of utilizing a wrong
usb endpoint type during URB submitting stage. This, in turn, triggers
a warning shown below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rose: prevent integer overflows in rose_setsockopt()
In case of possible unpredictably large arguments passed to
rose_setsockopt() and multiplied by extra values on top of that,
integer overflows may occur.
Do the safest minimum and fix these issues by checking the
contents of 'opt' and returning -EINVAL if they are too large. Also,
switch to unsigned int and remove useless check for negative 'opt'
in ROSE_IDLE case.
