Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.10.62 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: seqiv - Handle EBUSY correctly
As it is seqiv only handles the special return value of EINPROGERSS,
which means that in all other cases it will free data related to the
request.
However, as the caller of seqiv may specify MAY_BACKLOG, we also need
to expect EBUSY and treat it in the same way. Otherwise backlogged
requests will trigger a use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: ismt: Fix an out-of-bounds bug in ismt_access()
When the driver does not check the data from the user, the variable
'data->block[0]' may be very large to cause an out-of-bounds bug.
The following log can reveal it:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix race between quota enable and quota rescan ioctl
When enabling quotas, at btrfs_quota_enable(), after committing the
transaction, we change fs_info->quota_root to point to the quota root we
created and set BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED at fs_info->flags. Then we try
to start the qgroup rescan worker, first by initializing it with a call
to qgroup_rescan_init() - however if that fails we end up freeing the
quota root but we leave fs_info->quota_root still pointing to it, this
can later result in a use-after-free somewhere else.
We have previously set the flags BTRFS_FS_QUOTA_ENABLED and
BTRFS_QGROUP_STATUS_FLAG_ON, so we can only fail with -EINPROGRESS at
btrfs_quota_enable(), which is possible if someone already called the
quota rescan ioctl, and therefore started the rescan worker.
So fix this by ignoring an -EINPROGRESS and asserting we can't get any
other error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: fix a crash in mempool_free
There's a crash in mempool_free when running the lvm test
shell/lvchange-rebuild-raid.sh.
The reason for the crash is this:
* super_written calls atomic_dec_and_test(&mddev->pending_writes) and
wake_up(&mddev->sb_wait). Then it calls rdev_dec_pending(rdev, mddev)
and bio_put(bio).
* so, the process that waited on sb_wait and that is woken up is racing
with bio_put(bio).
* if the process wins the race, it calls bioset_exit before bio_put(bio)
is executed.
* bio_put(bio) attempts to free a bio into a destroyed bio set - causing
a crash in mempool_free.
We fix this bug by moving bio_put before atomic_dec_and_test.
We also move rdev_dec_pending before atomic_dec_and_test as suggested by
Neil Brown.
The function md_end_flush has a similar bug - we must call bio_put before
we decrement the number of in-progress bios.

It is because the race between writing event into cpu buffer and swapping
cpu buffer through file per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot:
Write on CPU 0 Swap buffer by per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot on CPU 1
-------- --------
tracing_snapshot_write()
[...]
ring_buffer_lock_reserve()
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // 1. Suppose find 'cpu_buffer_a';
[...]
rb_reserve_next_event()
[...]
ring_buffer_swap_cpu()
if (local_read(&cpu_buffer_a->committing))
goto out_dec;
if (local_read(&cpu_buffer_b->committing))
goto out_dec;
buffer_a->buffers[cpu] = cpu_buffer_b;
buffer_b->buffers[cpu] = cpu_buffer_a;
// 2. cpu_buffer has swapped here.
rb_start_commit(cpu_buffer);
if (unlikely(READ_ONCE(cpu_buffer->buffer)
!= buffer)) { // 3. This check passed due to 'cpu_buffer->buffer'
[...] // has not changed here.
return NULL;
}
cpu_buffer_b->buffer = buffer_a;
cpu_buffer_a->buffer = buffer_b;
[...]
// 4. Reserve event from 'cpu_buffer_a'.
ring_buffer_unlock_commit()
[...]
cpu_buffer = buffer->buffers[cpu]; // 5. Now find 'cpu_buffer_b' !!!
rb_commit(cpu_buffer)
rb_end_commit() // 6. WARN for the wrong 'committing' state !!!
Based on above analysis, we can easily reproduce by following testcase:
``` bash
#!/bin/bash
dmesg -n 7
sysctl -w kernel.panic_on_warn=1
TR=/sys/kernel/tracing
echo 7 > ${TR}/buffer_size_kb
echo "sched:sched_switch" > ${TR}/set_event
while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
while [ true ]; do
echo 1 > ${TR}/per_cpu/cpu0/snapshot
done &
```
To fix it, IIUC, we can use smp_call_function_single() to do the swap on
the target cpu where the buffer is located, so that above race would be
avoided.

USB: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic at
once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: check slab-out-of-bounds in md_bitmap_get_counter
If we write a large number to md/bitmap_set_bits, md_bitmap_checkpage()
will return -EINVAL because 'page >= bitmap->pages', but the return value
was not checked immediately in md_bitmap_get_counter() in order to set
*blocks value and slab-out-of-bounds occurs.
Move check of 'page >= bitmap->pages' to md_bitmap_get_counter() and
return directly if true.
