Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.21.3 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: lgdt3306a: Add a check against null-pointer-def
The driver should check whether the client provides the platform_data.
The following log reveals it:

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:
watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#6 stuck for 26s! [bash:1221]
