Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.17.4 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
um: Add winch to winch_handlers before registering winch IRQ
Registering a winch IRQ is racy, an interrupt may occur before the winch is
added to the winch_handlers list.
If that happens, register_winch_irq() adds to that list a winch that is
scheduled to be (or has already been) freed, causing a panic later in
winch_cleanup().
Avoid the race by adding the winch to the winch_handlers list before
registering the IRQ, and rolling back if um_request_irq() fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/probes: fix error check in parse_btf_field()
btf_find_struct_member() might return NULL or an error via the
ERR_PTR() macro. However, its caller in parse_btf_field() only checks
for the NULL condition. Fix this by using IS_ERR() and returning the
error up the stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-buf/sw-sync: don't enable IRQ from sync_print_obj()
Since commit a6aa8fca4d79 ("dma-buf/sw-sync: Reduce irqsave/irqrestore from
known context") by error replaced spin_unlock_irqrestore() with
spin_unlock_irq() for both sync_debugfs_show() and sync_print_obj() despite
sync_print_obj() is called from sync_debugfs_show(), lockdep complains
inconsistent lock state warning.
Use plain spin_{lock,unlock}() for sync_print_obj(), for
sync_debugfs_show() is already using spin_{lock,unlock}_irq().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: Fix loop termination condition in gss_free_in_token_pages()
The in_token->pages[] array is not NULL terminated. This results in
the following KASAN splat:
KASAN: maybe wild-memory-access in range [0x04a2013400000008-0x04a201340000000f]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Wrap dcn301_calculate_wm_and_dlg for FPU.
Mirrors the logic for dcn30. Cue lots of WARNs and some
kernel panics without this fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: hdmi-codec: Fix OOB memory accesses
Correct size of iec_status array by changing it to the size of status
array of the struct snd_aes_iec958. This fixes out-of-bounds slab
read accesses made by memcpy() of the hdmi-codec driver. This problem
is reported by KASAN.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix wrong offset in bio_truncate()
bio_truncate() clears the buffer outside of last block of bdev, however
current bio_truncate() is using the wrong offset of page. So it can
return the uninitialized data.
This happened when both of truncated/corrupted FS and userspace (via
bdev) are trying to read the last of bdev.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/kmemleak: avoid scanning potential huge holes
When using devm_request_free_mem_region() and devm_memremap_pages() to
add ZONE_DEVICE memory, if requested free mem region's end pfn were
huge(e.g., 0x400000000), the node_end_pfn() will be also huge (see
move_pfn_range_to_zone()). Thus it creates a huge hole between
node_start_pfn() and node_end_pfn().
We found on some AMD APUs, amdkfd requested such a free mem region and
created a huge hole. In such a case, following code snippet was just
doing busy test_bit() looping on the huge hole.
for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < end_pfn; pfn++) {
struct page *page = pfn_to_online_page(pfn);
if (!page)
continue;
...
}
So we got a soft lockup:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix use-after-free after failure to create a snapshot
At ioctl.c:create_snapshot(), we allocate a pending snapshot structure and
then attach it to the transaction's list of pending snapshots. After that
we call btrfs_commit_transaction(), and if that returns an error we jump
to 'fail' label, where we kfree() the pending snapshot structure. This can
result in a later use-after-free of the pending snapshot:
1) We allocated the pending snapshot and added it to the transaction's
list of pending snapshots;
2) We call btrfs_commit_transaction(), and it fails either at the first
call to btrfs_run_delayed_refs() or btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups().
In both cases, we don't abort the transaction and we release our
transaction handle. We jump to the 'fail' label and free the pending
snapshot structure. We return with the pending snapshot still in the
transaction's list;
3) Another task commits the transaction. This time there's no error at
all, and then during the transaction commit it accesses a pointer
to the pending snapshot structure that the snapshot creation task
has already freed, resulting in a user-after-free.
This issue could actually be detected by smatch, which produced the
following warning:
fs/btrfs/ioctl.c:843 create_snapshot() warn: '&pending_snapshot->list' not removed from list
So fix this by not having the snapshot creation ioctl directly add the
pending snapshot to the transaction's list. Instead add the pending
snapshot to the transaction handle, and then at btrfs_commit_transaction()
we add the snapshot to the list only when we can guarantee that any error
returned after that point will result in a transaction abort, in which
case the ioctl code can safely free the pending snapshot and no one can
access it anymore.
