Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.15.8 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/9p: fix uninitialized values during inode evict
If an iget fails due to not being able to retrieve information
from the server then the inode structure is only partially
initialized. When the inode gets evicted, references to
uninitialized structures (like fscache cookies) were being
made.
This patch checks for a bad_inode before doing anything other
than clearing the inode from the cache. Since the inode is
bad, it shouldn't have any state associated with it that needs
to be written back (and there really isn't a way to complete
those anyways).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Release hbalock before calling lpfc_worker_wake_up()
lpfc_worker_wake_up() calls the lpfc_work_done() routine, which takes the
hbalock. Thus, lpfc_worker_wake_up() should not be called while holding the
hbalock to avoid potential deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
uio_hv_generic: Don't free decrypted memory
In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an
error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to
take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security
issues.
The VMBus device UIO driver could free decrypted/shared pages if
set_memory_decrypted() fails. Check the decrypted field in the gpadl
to decide whether to free the memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Drivers: hv: vmbus: Track decrypted status in vmbus_gpadl
In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an
error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to
take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security
issues.
In order to make sure callers of vmbus_establish_gpadl() and
vmbus_teardown_gpadl() don't return decrypted/shared pages to
allocators, add a field in struct vmbus_gpadl to keep track of the
decryption status of the buffers. This will allow the callers to
know if they should free or leak the pages.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Leak pages if set_memory_encrypted() fails
In CoCo VMs it is possible for the untrusted host to cause

VMBus code could free decrypted pages if set_memory_encrypted()/decrypted()
fails. Leak the pages if this happens.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Atom Integrated System Info v2_2 for DCN35
New request from KMD/VBIOS in order to support new UMA carveout
model. This fixes a null dereference from accessing
Ctx->dc_bios->integrated_info while it was NULL.
DAL parses through the BIOS and extracts the necessary
integrated_info but was missing a case for the new BIOS
version 2.3.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: Check for port partner validity before consuming it
typec_register_partner() does not guarantee partner registration
to always succeed. In the event of failure, port->partner is set
to the error value or NULL. Given that port->partner validity is
not checked, this results in the following crash:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address xx

To prevent the crash, check for port->partner validity before
derefencing it in all the call sites.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
blk-mq: cancel blk-mq dispatch work in both blk_cleanup_queue and disk_release()
For avoiding to slow down queue destroy, we don't call
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() in blk_cleanup_queue(), instead of delaying to
cancel dispatch work in blk_release_queue().
However, this way has caused kernel oops[1], reported by Changhui. The log
shows that scsi_device can be freed before running blk_release_queue(),
which is expected too since scsi_device is released after the scsi disk
is closed and the scsi_device is removed.
Fixes the issue by canceling blk-mq dispatch work in both blk_cleanup_queue()
and disk_release():
1) when disk_release() is run, the disk has been closed, and any sync
dispatch activities have been done, so canceling dispatch work is enough to
quiesce filesystem I/O dispatch activity.
2) in blk_cleanup_queue(), we only focus on passthrough request, and
passthrough request is always explicitly allocated & freed by
its caller, so once queue is frozen, all sync dispatch activity
for passthrough request has been done, then it is enough to just cancel
dispatch work for avoiding any dispatch activity.
