Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.18 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/radeon: check bo_va->bo is non-NULL before using it
The call to radeon_vm_clear_freed might clear bo_va->bo, so
we have to check it before dereferencing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix array-index-out-of-bounds in dml2/FCLKChangeSupport
[Why]
Potential out of bounds access in dml2_calculate_rq_and_dlg_params()
because the value of out_lowest_state_idx used as an index for FCLKChangeSupport
array can be greater than 1.
[How]
Currently dml2 core specifies identical values for all FCLKChangeSupport
elements. Always use index 0 in the condition to avoid out of bounds access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bluetooth/l2cap: sync sock recv cb and release
The problem occurs between the system call to close the sock and hci_rx_work,
where the former releases the sock and the latter accesses it without lock protection.
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
sock_close hci_rx_work
l2cap_sock_release hci_acldata_packet
l2cap_sock_kill l2cap_recv_frame
sk_free l2cap_conless_channel
l2cap_sock_recv_cb
If hci_rx_work processes the data that needs to be received before the sock is
closed, then everything is normal; Otherwise, the work thread may access the
released sock when receiving data.
Add a chan mutex in the rx callback of the sock to achieve synchronization between
the sock release and recv cb.
Sock is dead, so set chan data to NULL, avoid others use invalid sock pointer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_core: cancel all works upon hci_unregister_dev()
syzbot is reporting that calling hci_release_dev() from hci_error_reset()
due to hci_dev_put() from hci_error_reset() can cause deadlock at
destroy_workqueue(), for hci_error_reset() is called from
hdev->req_workqueue which destroy_workqueue() needs to flush.
We need to make sure that hdev->{rx_work,cmd_work,tx_work} which are
queued into hdev->workqueue and hdev->{power_on,error_reset} which are
queued into hdev->req_workqueue are no longer running by the moment
destroy_workqueue(hdev->workqueue);
destroy_workqueue(hdev->req_workqueue);
are called from hci_release_dev().
Call cancel_work_sync() on these work items from hci_unregister_dev()
as soon as hdev->list is removed from hci_dev_list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/eeh: avoid possible crash when edev->pdev changes
If a PCI device is removed during eeh_pe_report_edev(), edev->pdev
will change and can cause a crash, hold the PCI rescan/remove lock
while taking a copy of edev->pdev->bus.

requires that only whitelisted areas in slab/slub objects can be copied to
userspace when usercopy hardening is enabled using CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY.
Dtl contains hypervisor dispatch events which are expected to be read by
privileged users. Hence mark this safe for user access.
Specify useroffset=0 and usersize=DISPATCH_LOG_BYTES to whitelist the
entire object.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ibmvnic: Add tx check to prevent skb leak
Below is a summary of how the driver stores a reference to an skb during
transmit:
tx_buff[free_map[consumer_index]]->skb = new_skb;
free_map[consumer_index] = IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP;
consumer_index ++;
Where variable data looks like this:
free_map == [4, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, IBMVNIC_INVALID_MAP, 0, 3]
consumer_index^
tx_buff == [skb=null, skb=<ptr>, skb=<ptr>, skb=null, skb=null]
The driver has checks to ensure that free_map[consumer_index] pointed to
a valid index but there was no check to ensure that this index pointed
to an unused/null skb address. So, if, by some chance, our free_map and
tx_buff lists become out of sync then we were previously risking an
skb memory leak. This could then cause tcp congestion control to stop
sending packets, eventually leading to ETIMEDOUT.
Therefore, add a conditional to ensure that the skb address is null. If
not then warn the user (because this is still a bug that should be
patched) and free the old pointer to prevent memleak/tcp problems.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: scrub: handle RST lookup error correctly
[BUG]
When running btrfs/060 with forced RST feature, it would crash the
following ASSERT() inside scrub_read_endio():
ASSERT(sector_nr < stripe->nr_sectors);
Before that, we would have tree dump from
btrfs_get_raid_extent_offset(), as we failed to find the RST entry for
the range.
[CAUSE]
Inside scrub_submit_extent_sector_read() every time we allocated a new
bbio we immediately called btrfs_map_block() to make sure there was some
RST range covering the scrub target.
But if btrfs_map_block() fails, we immediately call endio for the bbio,
while the bbio is newly allocated, it's completely empty.
Then inside scrub_read_endio(), we go through the bvecs to find
the sector number (as bi_sector is no longer reliable if the bio is
submitted to lower layers).
And since the bio is empty, such bvecs iteration would not find any
sector matching the sector, and return sector_nr == stripe->nr_sectors,
triggering the ASSERT().
[FIX]
Instead of calling btrfs_map_block() after allocating a new bbio, call
btrfs_map_block() first.
Since our only objective of calling btrfs_map_block() is only to update
stripe_len, there is really no need to do that after btrfs_alloc_bio().
This new timing would avoid the problem of handling empty bbio
completely, and in fact fixes a possible race window for the old code,
where if the submission thread is the only owner of the pending_io, the
scrub would never finish (since we didn't decrease the pending_io
counter).
Although the root cause of RST lookup failure still needs to be
addressed.

s390/sclp: Fix sclp_init() cleanup on failure
If sclp_init() fails it only partially cleans up: if there are multiple
failing calls to sclp_init() sclp_state_change_event will be added several
times to sclp_reg_list, which results in the following warning:

ASoC: topology: Fix references to freed memory
Most users after parsing a topology file, release memory used by it, so
having pointer references directly into topology file contents is wrong.
Use devm_kmemdup(), to allocate memory as needed.
