Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.307 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: Fix use-after-free issues
do_req_filebacked() calls blk_mq_complete_request() synchronously or
asynchronously when using asynchronous I/O unless memory allocation fails.
Hence, modify loop_handle_cmd() such that it does not dereference 'cmd' nor
'rq' after do_req_filebacked() finished unless we are sure that the request
has not yet been completed. This patch fixes the following kernel crash:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000054

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: avoid potential UAF in nvmet_req_complete()
An nvme target ->queue_response() operation implementation may free the
request passed as argument. Such implementation potentially could result
in a use after free of the request pointer when percpu_ref_put() is
called in nvmet_req_complete().
Avoid such problem by using a local variable to save the sq pointer
before calling __nvmet_req_complete(), thus avoiding dereferencing the
req pointer after that function call.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: pn533: initialize struct pn533_out_arg properly
struct pn533_out_arg used as a temporary context for out_urb is not
initialized properly. Its uninitialized 'phy' field can be dereferenced in
error cases inside pn533_out_complete() callback function. It causes the
following failure:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: zero i_disksize when initializing the bootloader inode
If the boot loader inode has never been used before, the
EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT inode will initialize it, including setting the
i_size to 0. However, if the "never before used" boot loader has a
non-zero i_size, then i_disksize will be non-zero, and the
inconsistency between i_size and i_disksize can trigger a kernel
warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2580 at fs/ext4/file.c:319
CPU: 0 PID: 2580 Comm: bb Not tainted 6.3.0-rc1-00004-g703695902cfa

Reproducer:
1. create corrupted image and mount it:
mke2fs -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img 200
debugfs -wR "sif <5> size 25700" /tmp/foo.img
mount -t ext4 /tmp/foo.img /mnt
cd /mnt
echo 123 > file
2. Run the reproducer program:
posix_memalign(&buf, 1024, 1024)
fd = open("file", O_RDWR | O_DIRECT);
ioctl(fd, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT);
write(fd, buf, 1024);
Fix this by setting i_disksize as well as i_size to zero when
initiaizing the boot loader inode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: restore bond's IFF_SLAVE flag if a non-eth dev enslave fails
syzbot reported a warning[1] where the bond device itself is a slave and
we try to enslave a non-ethernet device as the first slave which fails
but then in the error path when ether_setup() restores the bond device
it also clears all flags. In my previous fix[2] I restored the
IFF_MASTER flag, but I didn't consider the case that the bond device
itself might also be a slave with IFF_SLAVE set, so we need to restore
that flag as well. Use the bond_ether_setup helper which does the right
thing and restores the bond's flags properly.
Steps to reproduce using a nlmon dev:
$ ip l add nlmon0 type nlmon
$ ip l add bond1 type bond
$ ip l add bond2 type bond
$ ip l set bond1 master bond2
$ ip l set dev nlmon0 master bond1
$ ip -d l sh dev bond1
22: bond1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue master bond2 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
(now bond1's IFF_SLAVE flag is gone and we'll hit a warning[3] if we
try to delete it)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: st-nci: Fix use after free bug in ndlc_remove due to race condition
This bug influences both st_nci_i2c_remove and st_nci_spi_remove.
Take st_nci_i2c_remove as an example.
In st_nci_i2c_probe, it called ndlc_probe and bound &ndlc->sm_work
with llt_ndlc_sm_work.
When it calls ndlc_recv or timeout handler, it will finally call
schedule_work to start the work.
When we call st_nci_i2c_remove to remove the driver, there
may be a sequence as follows:
Fix it by finishing the work before cleanup in ndlc_remove

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tunnels: annotate lockless accesses to dev->needed_headroom
IP tunnels can apparently update dev->needed_headroom
in their xmit path.
This patch takes care of three tunnels xmit, and also the
core LL_RESERVED_SPACE() and LL_RESERVED_SPACE_EXTRA()
helpers.
More changes might be needed for completeness.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: update s_journal_inum if it changes after journal replay
When mounting a crafted ext4 image, s_journal_inum may change after journal
replay, which is obviously unreasonable because we have successfully loaded
and replayed the journal through the old s_journal_inum. And the new
s_journal_inum bypasses some of the checks in ext4_get_journal(), which
may trigger a null pointer dereference problem. So if s_journal_inum
changes after the journal replay, we ignore the change, and rewrite the
current journal_inum to the superblock.
