Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.6.6 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel-infoleak in nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy()
The ioctl helper function nilfs_ioctl_wrap_copy(), which exchanges a
metadata array to/from user space, may copy uninitialized buffer regions
to user space memory for read-only ioctl commands NILFS_IOCTL_GET_SUINFO
and NILFS_IOCTL_GET_CPINFO.
This can occur when the element size of the user space metadata given by
the v_size member of the argument nilfs_argv structure is larger than the
size of the metadata element (nilfs_suinfo structure or nilfs_cpinfo
structure) on the file system side.
KMSAN-enabled kernels detect this issue as follows:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Check kzalloc() in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read()
If kzalloc() fails in lpfc_sli4_cgn_params_read(), then we rely on
lpfc_read_object()'s routine to NULL check pdata.
Currently, an early return error is thrown from lpfc_read_object() to
protect us from NULL ptr dereference, but the errno code is -ENODEV.
Change the errno code to a more appropriate -ENOMEM.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
codel: remove sch->q.qlen check before qdisc_tree_reduce_backlog()
After making all ->qlen_notify() callbacks idempotent, now it is safe to
remove the check of qlen!=0 from both fq_codel_dequeue() and
codel_qdisc_dequeue().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: fdp: Fix potential memory leak in fdp_nci_send()
fdp_nci_send() will call fdp_nci_i2c_write that will not free skb in
the function. As a result, when fdp_nci_i2c_write() finished, the skb
will memleak. fdp_nci_send() should free skb after fdp_nci_i2c_write()
finished.

It is because the fail of roce_gid_mgmt_init() is ignored:
ib_core_init()
roce_gid_mgmt_init()
gid_cache_wq = alloc_ordered_workqueue # fail
...
ib_core_cleanup()
roce_gid_mgmt_cleanup()
destroy_workqueue(gid_cache_wq)
# destroy an unallocated wq
Fix this by catching the fail of roce_gid_mgmt_init() in ib_core_init().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix WARNING in __ip_vs_cleanup_batch()
During the initialization of ip_vs_conn_net_init(), if file ip_vs_conn
or ip_vs_conn_sync fails to be created, the initialization is successful
by default. Therefore, the ip_vs_conn or ip_vs_conn_sync file doesn't
be found during the remove.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix potential memory leak in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send()
nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send() will be called by nfcmrvl_nci_send(), and skb
should be freed in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send(). However, nfcmrvl_nci_send()
will only free skb when i2c_master_send() return >=0, which means skb
will memleak when i2c_master_send() failed. Free skb no matter whether
i2c_master_send() succeeds.

nxp_nci_send() will call nxp_nci_i2c_write(), and only free skb when
nxp_nci_i2c_write() failed. However, even if the nxp_nci_i2c_write()
run succeeds, the skb will not be freed in nxp_nci_i2c_write(). As the
result, the skb will memleak. nxp_nci_send() should also free the skb
when nxp_nci_i2c_write() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free caused by l2cap_reassemble_sdu
Fix the race condition between the following two flows that run in
parallel:
1. l2cap_reassemble_sdu -> chan->ops->recv (l2cap_sock_recv_cb) ->
__sock_queue_rcv_skb.
2. bt_sock_recvmsg -> skb_recv_datagram, skb_free_datagram.
An SKB can be queued by the first flow and immediately dequeued and
freed by the second flow, therefore the callers of l2cap_reassemble_sdu
can't use the SKB after that function returns. However, some places
continue accessing struct l2cap_ctrl that resides in the SKB's CB for a
short time after l2cap_reassemble_sdu returns, leading to a
use-after-free condition (the stack trace is below, line numbers for
kernel 5.19.8).
Fix it by keeping a local copy of struct l2cap_ctrl.
