Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.48 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: pdr: Fix the potential deadlock
When some client process A call pdr_add_lookup() to add the look up for
the service and does schedule locator work, later a process B got a new
server packet indicating locator is up and call pdr_locator_new_server()
which eventually sets pdr->locator_init_complete to true which process A
sees and takes list lock and queries domain list but it will timeout due
to deadlock as the response will queued to the same qmi->wq and it is
ordered workqueue and process B is not able to complete new server
request work due to deadlock on list lock.
Fix it by removing the unnecessary list iteration as the list iteration
is already being done inside locator work, so avoid it here and just
call schedule_work() here.
Process A Process B
process_scheduled_works()
pdr_add_lookup() qmi_data_ready_work()
process_scheduled_works() pdr_locator_new_server()
pdr->locator_init_complete=true;
pdr_locator_work()
mutex_lock(&pdr->list_lock);
pdr_locate_service() mutex_lock(&pdr->list_lock);
pdr_get_domain_list()
pr_err("PDR: %s get domain list
txn wait failed: %d\n",
req->service_name,
ret);
Timeout error log due to deadlock:
"
PDR: tms/servreg get domain list txn wait failed: -110
PDR: service lookup for msm/adsp/sensor_pd:tms/servreg failed: -110
"
Thanks to Bjorn and Johan for letting me know that this commit also fixes
an audio regression when using the in-kernel pd-mapper as that makes it
easier to hit this race. [1]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: check that dummy regulator has been probed before using it
Due to asynchronous driver probing there is a chance that the dummy
regulator hasn't already been probed when first accessing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: dummy: force synchronous probing
Sometimes I get a NULL pointer dereference at boot time in kobject_get()
with the following call stack:
anatop_regulator_probe()
devm_regulator_register()
regulator_register()
regulator_resolve_supply()
kobject_get()
By placing some extra BUG_ON() statements I could verify that this is
raised because probing of the 'dummy' regulator driver is not completed
('dummy_regulator_rdev' is still NULL).
In the JTAG debugger I can see that dummy_regulator_probe() and
anatop_regulator_probe() can be run by different kernel threads
(kworker/u4:*). I haven't further investigated whether this can be
changed or if there are other possibilities to force synchronization
between these two probe routines. On the other hand I don't expect much
boot time penalty by probing the 'dummy' regulator synchronously.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix soft lockup during bt pages loop
Driver runs a for-loop when allocating bt pages and mapping them with
buffer pages. When a large buffer (e.g. MR over 100GB) is being allocated,
it may require a considerable loop count. This will lead to soft lockup:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#27 stuck for 22s!

Add a cond_resched() to fix soft lockup during these loops. In order not
to affect the allocation performance of normal-size buffer, set the loop
count of a 100GB MR as the threshold to call cond_resched().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: Fix memleak of nhc_pcpu_rth_output in fib_check_nh_v6_gw().
fib_check_nh_v6_gw() expects that fib6_nh_init() cleans up everything
when it fails.
Commit 7dd73168e273 ("ipv6: Always allocate pcpu memory in a fib6_nh")
moved fib_nh_common_init() before alloc_percpu_gfp() within fib6_nh_init()
but forgot to add cleanup for fib6_nh->nh_common.nhc_pcpu_rth_output in
case it fails to allocate fib6_nh->rt6i_pcpu, resulting in memleak.
Let's call fib_nh_common_release() and clear nhc_pcpu_rth_output in the
error path.
Note that we can remove the fib6_nh_release() call in nh_create_ipv6()
later in net-next.git.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix error code in chan_alloc_skb_cb()
The chan_alloc_skb_cb() function is supposed to return error pointers on
error. Returning NULL will lead to a NULL dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/radeon: fix uninitialized size issue in radeon_vce_cs_parse()
On the off chance that command stream passed from userspace via
ioctl() call to radeon_vce_cs_parse() is weirdly crafted and
first command to execute is to encode (case 0x03000001), the function
in question will attempt to call radeon_vce_cs_reloc() with size
argument that has not been properly initialized. Specifically, 'size'
will point to 'tmp' variable before the latter had a chance to be
assigned any value.
Play it safe and init 'tmp' with 0, thus ensuring that
radeon_vce_cs_reloc() will catch an early error in cases like these.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with static
analysis tool SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: fix an integer overflow in xp_create_and_assign_umem()
Since the i and pool->chunk_size variables are of type 'u32',
their product can wrap around and then be cast to 'u64'.
This can lead to two different XDP buffers pointing to the same
memory area.
Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
proc: fix UAF in proc_get_inode()
Fix race between rmmod and /proc/XXX's inode instantiation.
The bug is that pde->proc_ops don't belong to /proc, it belongs to a
module, therefore dereferencing it after /proc entry has been registered
is a bug unless use_pde/unuse_pde() pair has been used.
use_pde/unuse_pde can be avoided (2 atomic ops!) because pde->proc_ops
never changes so information necessary for inode instantiation can be
saved _before_ proc_register() in PDE itself and used later, avoiding
pde->proc_ops->... dereference.

qaic_attach_slice_bo_ioctl(). Use check_add_overflow() to ensure that
the math doesn't have an integer wrapping bug.
