Debian: Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore/zone: Add a null pointer check to the psz_kmsg_read
kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory
which can be NULL upon failure. Ensure the allocation was successful
by checking the pointer validity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbmon: prevent division by zero in fb_videomode_from_videomode()
The expression htotal * vtotal can have a zero value on
overflow. It is necessary to prevent division by zero like in
fb_var_to_videomode().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sysv: don't call sb_bread() with pointers_lock held
syzbot is reporting sleep in atomic context in SysV filesystem [1], for
sb_bread() is called with rw_spinlock held.
A "write_lock(&pointers_lock) => read_lock(&pointers_lock) deadlock" bug
and a "sb_bread() with write_lock(&pointers_lock)" bug were introduced by
"Replace BKL for chain locking with sysvfs-private rwlock" in Linux 2.5.12.
Then, "[PATCH] err1-40: sysvfs locking fix" in Linux 2.6.8 fixed the
former bug by moving pointers_lock lock to the callers, but instead
introduced a "sb_bread() with read_lock(&pointers_lock)" bug (which made
this problem easier to hit).
Al Viro suggested that why not to do like get_branch()/get_block()/
find_shared() in Minix filesystem does. And doing like that is almost a
revert of "[PATCH] err1-40: sysvfs locking fix" except that get_branch()
from with find_shared() is called without write_lock(&pointers_lock).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rds: fix possible cp null dereference
cp might be null, calling cp->cp_conn would produce null dereference
[Simon Horman adds:]
Analysis:
* cp is a parameter of __rds_rdma_map and is not reassigned.
* The following call-sites pass a NULL cp argument to __rds_rdma_map()
- rds_get_mr()
- rds_get_mr_for_dest
* Prior to the code above, the following assumes that cp may be NULL
(which is indicative, but could itself be unnecessary)
trans_private = rs->rs_transport->get_mr(
sg, nents, rs, &mr->r_key, cp ? cp->cp_conn : NULL,
args->vec.addr, args->vec.bytes,
need_odp ? ODP_ZEROBASED : ODP_NOT_NEEDED);
* The code modified by this patch is guarded by IS_ERR(trans_private),
where trans_private is assigned as per the previous point in this analysis.
The only implementation of get_mr that I could locate is rds_ib_get_mr()
which can return an ERR_PTR if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
* ret is set to PTR_ERR(trans_private).
rds_ib_get_mr can return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) if the conn (4th) argument is NULL.
Thus ret may be -ENODEV in which case the code in question will execute.
Conclusion:
* cp may be NULL at the point where this patch adds a check;
this patch does seem to address a possible bug

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Protect against int overflow for stack access size
This patch re-introduces protection against the size of access to stack
memory being negative; the access size can appear negative as a result
of overflowing its signed int representation. This should not actually
happen, as there are other protections along the way, but we should
protect against it anyway. One code path was missing such protections
(fixed in the previous patch in the series), causing out-of-bounds array
accesses in check_stack_range_initialized(). This patch causes the
verification of a program with such a non-sensical access size to fail.
This check used to exist in a more indirect way, but was inadvertendly
removed in a833a17aeac7.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: properly terminate timers for kernel sockets
We had various syzbot reports about tcp timers firing after
the corresponding netns has been dismantled.
Fortunately Josef Bacik could trigger the issue more often,
and could test a patch I wrote two years ago.
When TCP sockets are closed, we call inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers()
to 'stop' the timers.
inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers() can be called from any context,
including when socket lock is held.
This is the reason it uses sk_stop_timer(), aka del_timer().
This means that ongoing timers might finish much later.
For user sockets, this is fine because each running timer
holds a reference on the socket, and the user socket holds
a reference on the netns.
For kernel sockets, we risk that the netns is freed before
timer can complete, because kernel sockets do not hold
reference on the netns.
This patch adds inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync() function
that using sk_stop_timer_sync() to make sure all timers
are terminated before the kernel socket is released.
Modules using kernel sockets close them in their netns exit()
handler.
Also add sock_not_owned_by_me() helper to get LOCKDEP
support : inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync() must not be called
while socket lock is held.
It is very possible we can revert in the future commit
3a58f13a881e ("net: rds: acquire refcount on TCP sockets")
which attempted to solve the issue in rds only.
(net/smc/af_smc.c and net/mptcp/subflow.c have similar code)
We probably can remove the check_net() tests from
tcp_out_of_resources() and __tcp_close() in the future.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: Fix uninit-value in nci_dev_up and nci_ntf_packet
syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1][2]:
nci_rx_work() parses and processes received packet. When the payload
length is zero, each message type handler reads uninitialized payload
and KMSAN detects this issue. The receipt of a packet with a zero-size
payload is considered unexpected, and therefore, such packets should be
silently discarded.
This patch resolved this issue by checking payload size before calling
each message type handler codes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_skbmod: prevent kernel-infoleak
syzbot found that tcf_skbmod_dump() was copying four bytes
from kernel stack to user space [1].
The issue here is that 'struct tc_skbmod' has a four bytes hole.
We need to clear the structure before filling fields.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Prevent lock inversion deadlock in map delete elem
syzkaller started using corpuses where a BPF tracing program deletes
elements from a sockmap/sockhash map. Because BPF tracing programs can be
invoked from any interrupt context, locks taken during a map_delete_elem
operation must be hardirq-safe. Otherwise a deadlock due to lock inversion
is possible, as reported by lockdep:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
lock(&htab->buckets[i].lock);
local_irq_disable();
lock(&host->lock);
lock(&htab->buckets[i].lock);
<Interrupt>
lock(&host->lock);
Locks in sockmap are hardirq-unsafe by design. We expects elements to be
deleted from sockmap/sockhash only in task (normal) context with interrupts
enabled, or in softirq context.
Detect when map_delete_elem operation is invoked from a context which is
_not_ hardirq-unsafe, that is interrupts are disabled, and bail out with an
error.
Note that map updates are not affected by this issue. BPF verifier does not
allow updating sockmap/sockhash from a BPF tracing program today.
