Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.36 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm rq: don't queue request to blk-mq during DM suspend
DM uses blk-mq's quiesce/unquiesce to stop/start device mapper queue.
But blk-mq's unquiesce may come from outside events, such as elevator
switch, updating nr_requests or others, and request may come during
suspend, so simply ask for blk-mq to requeue it.
Fixes one kernel panic issue when running updating nr_requests and
dm-mpath suspend/resume stress test.

isdn: mISDN: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context
The driver can call card->isac.release() function from an atomic

Fix this by calling this function after releasing the lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: mount fails with buffer overflow in strlen
Starting with kernel 5.11 built with CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE mouting an
ocfs2 filesystem with either o2cb or pcmk cluster stack fails with the
trace below. Problem seems to be that strings for cluster stack and
cluster name are not guaranteed to be null terminated in the disk
representation, while strlcpy assumes that the source string is always
null terminated. This causes a read outside of the source string
triggering the buffer overflow detection.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix abort logic in btrfs_replace_file_extents
Error injection testing uncovered a case where we'd end up with a
corrupt file system with a missing extent in the middle of a file. This
occurs because the if statement to decide if we should abort is wrong.
The only way we would abort in this case is if we got a ret !=
-EOPNOTSUPP and we called from the file clone code. However the
prealloc code uses this path too. Instead we need to abort if there is
an error, and the only error we _don't_ abort on is -EOPNOTSUPP and only
if we came from the clone file code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: Fix command ring pointer corruption while aborting a command
The command ring pointer is located at [6:63] bits of the command
ring control register (CRCR). All the control bits like command stop,
abort are located at [0:3] bits. While aborting a command, we read the
CRCR and set the abort bit and write to the CRCR. The read will always
give command ring pointer as all zeros. So we essentially write only
the control bits. Since we split the 64 bit write into two 32 bit writes,
there is a possibility of xHC command ring stopped before the upper
dword (all zeros) is written. If that happens, xHC updates the upper
dword of its internal command ring pointer with all zeros. Next time,
when the command ring is restarted, we see xHC memory access failures.
Fix this issue by only writing to the lower dword of CRCR where all
control bits are located.

Fix this by:
1) Establishing pointers to 'struct dm_io' members in
dm_io_dec_pending() so that they may be passed into end_io_acct()
_after_ free_io() is called.
2) Moving end_io_acct() after free_io().

'rb->aux_pages' allocated by kcalloc() is a pointer array which is used to
maintains AUX trace pages. The allocated page for this array is physically
contiguous (and virtually contiguous) with an order of 0..MAX_ORDER. If the
size of pointer array crosses the limitation set by MAX_ORDER, it reveals a
WARNING.
So bail out early with -ENOMEM if the request AUX area is out of bound,
e.g.:
#perf record -C 0 -m ,4G -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
failed to mmap with 12 (Cannot allocate memory)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
locking/ww_mutex/test: Fix potential workqueue corruption
In some cases running with the test-ww_mutex code, I was seeing
odd behavior where sometimes it seemed flush_workqueue was
returning before all the work threads were finished.
Often this would cause strange crashes as the mutexes would be
freed while they were being used.
Looking at the code, there is a lifetime problem as the
controlling thread that spawns the work allocates the
"struct stress" structures that are passed to the workqueue
threads. Then when the workqueue threads are finished,
they free the stress struct that was passed to them.
Unfortunately the workqueue work_struct node is in the stress
struct. Which means the work_struct is freed before the work
thread returns and while flush_workqueue is waiting.
It seems like a better idea to have the controlling thread
both allocate and free the stress structures, so that we can
be sure we don't corrupt the workqueue by freeing the structure
prematurely.
So this patch reworks the test to do so, and with this change
I no longer see the early flush_workqueue returns.
