Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.4 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm: fix mempool NULL pointer race when completing IO
dm_io_dec_pending() calls end_io_acct() first and will then dec md
in-flight pending count. But if a task is swapping DM table at same
time this can result in a crash due to mempool->elements being NULL:
task1 task2
do_resume
->do_suspend
->dm_wait_for_completion
bio_endio
->clone_endio
->dm_io_dec_pending
->end_io_acct
->wakeup task1
->dm_swap_table
->__bind
->__bind_mempools
->bioset_exit
->mempool_exit
->free_io

Fix this by:
1) Establishing pointers to 'struct dm_io' members in
dm_io_dec_pending() so that they may be passed into end_io_acct()
_after_ free_io() is called.
2) Moving end_io_acct() after free_io().

drm/panel: fix a possible null pointer dereference
In versatile_panel_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate()
is assigned to mode, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference
on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix possible out-of-bound read in ath12k_htt_pull_ppdu_stats()
len is extracted from HTT message and could be an unexpected value in
case errors happen, so add validation before using to avoid possible
out-of-bound read in the following message iteration and parsing.
The same issue also applies to ppdu_info->ppdu_stats.common.num_users,
so validate it before using too.
These are found during code review.
Compile test only.

scsi: libfc: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in fc_lport_ptp_setup()
fc_lport_ptp_setup() did not check the return value of fc_rport_create()
which can return NULL and would cause a NULL pointer dereference. Address
this issue by checking return value of fc_rport_create() and log error
message on fc_rport_create() failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/jfs: Add check for negative db_l2nbperpage
l2nbperpage is log2(number of blks per page), and the minimum legal
value should be 0, not negative.
In the case of l2nbperpage being negative, an error will occur
when subsequently used as shift exponent.
Syzbot reported this bug:
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in fs/jfs/jfs_dmap.c:799:12

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ibmvfc: Remove BUG_ON in the case of an empty event pool
In practice the driver should never send more commands than are allocated
to a queue's event pool. In the unlikely event that this happens, the code
asserts a BUG_ON, and in the case that the kernel is not configured to
crash on panic returns a junk event pointer from the empty event list
causing things to spiral from there. This BUG_ON is a historical artifact
of the ibmvfc driver first being upstreamed, and it is well known now that
the use of BUG_ON is bad practice except in the most unrecoverable
scenario. There is nothing about this scenario that prevents the driver
from recovering and carrying on.
Remove the BUG_ON in question from ibmvfc_get_event() and return a NULL
pointer in the case of an empty event pool. Update all call sites to
ibmvfc_get_event() to check for a NULL pointer and perfrom the appropriate
failure or recovery action.
