Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.4 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-debug: prevent an error message from causing runtime problems
For some drivers, that use the DMA API. This error message can be reached
several millions of times per second, causing spam to the kernel's printk
buffer and bringing the CPU usage up to 100% (so, it should be rate
limited). However, since there is at least one driver that is in the
mainline and suffers from the error condition, it is more useful to
err_printk() here instead of just rate limiting the error message (in hopes
that it will make it easier for other drivers that suffer from this issue
to be spotted).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-rdma: destroy cm id before destroy qp to avoid use after free
We should always destroy cm_id before destroy qp to avoid to get cma
event after qp was destroyed, which may lead to use after free.
In RDMA connection establishment error flow, don't destroy qp in cm
event handler.Just report cm_error to upper level, qp will be destroy
in nvme_rdma_alloc_queue() after destroy cm id.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: amd_sfh: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
devm_add_action_or_reset() can suddenly invoke amd_mp2_pci_remove() at
registration that will cause NULL pointer dereference since
corresponding data is not initialized yet. The patch moves
initialization of data before devm_add_action_or_reset().
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (w83793) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field
If driver read tmp value sufficient for
(tmp & 0x08) && (!(tmp & 0x80)) && ((tmp & 0x7) == ((tmp >> 4) & 0x7))
from device then Null pointer dereference occurs.
(It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers)
Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to
devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients().
The patch fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by removing lm75[].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: iphase: fix possible use-after-free in ia_module_exit()
This module's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function
does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the
timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function
has finished, which would result in a use-after-free.
Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler
has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/pm: Update intermediate power state for SI
Update the current state as boot state during dpm initialization.
During the subsequent initialization, set_power_state gets called to
transition to the final power state. set_power_state refers to values
from the current state and without current state populated, it could
result in NULL pointer dereference.
For ex: on platforms where PCI speed change is supported through ACPI
ATCS method, the link speed of current state needs to be queried before
deciding on changing to final power state's link speed. The logic to query
ATCS-support was broken on certain platforms. The issue became visible
when broken ATCS-support logic got fixed with commit
f9b7f3703ff9 ("drm/amdgpu/acpi: make ATPX/ATCS structures global (v2)").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cma: Fix rdma_resolve_route() memory leak
Fix a memory leak when "mda_resolve_route() is called more than once on
the same "rdma_cm_id".
This is possible if cma_query_handler() triggers the
RDMA_CM_EVENT_ROUTE_ERROR flow which puts the state machine back and
allows rdma_resolve_route() to be called again.
