Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.3 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: Fix nexthop hash size
The nexthop code expects a 31 bit hash, such as what is returned by
fib_multipath_hash() and rt6_multipath_hash(). Passing the 32 bit hash
returned by skb_get_hash() can lead to problems related to the fact that
'int hash' is a negative number when the MSB is set.
In the case of hash threshold nexthop groups, nexthop_select_path_hthr()
will disproportionately select the first nexthop group entry. In the case
of resilient nexthop groups, nexthop_select_path_res() may do an out of
bounds access in nh_buckets[], for example:
hash = -912054133
num_nh_buckets = 2
bucket_index = 65535
which leads to the following panic:

mlxsw: minimal: fix potential memory leak in mlxsw_m_linecards_init
The line cards array is not freed in the error path of
mlxsw_m_linecards_init(), which can lead to a memory leak. Fix by
freeing the array in the error path, thereby making the error path
identical to mlxsw_m_linecards_fini().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: qcom: Fix potential memory leak
Function dwc3_qcom_probe() allocates memory for resource structure
which is pointed by parent_res pointer. This memory is not
freed. This leads to memory leak. Use stack memory to prevent
memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-buf/dma-resv: Stop leaking on krealloc() failure
Currently dma_resv_get_fences() will leak the previously
allocated array if the fence iteration got restarted and
the krealloc_array() fails.
Free the old array by hand, and make sure we still clear
the returned *fences so the caller won't end up accessing
freed memory. Some (but not all) of the callers of
dma_resv_get_fences() seem to still trawl through the
array even when dma_resv_get_fences() failed. And let's
zero out *num_fences as well for good measure.

Add a simple check that avoids incrementing a pointer by zero, but
otherwise behaves as before. Note that our findings are against ACPICA
20221020, but the same code exists on master.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skbuff: Fix a race between coalescing and releasing SKBs
Commit 1effe8ca4e34 ("skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment
recycling") allowed coalescing to proceed with non page pool page and page
pool page when @from is cloned, i.e.
to->pp_recycle --> false
from->pp_recycle --> true
skb_cloned(from) --> true
However, it actually requires skb_cloned(@from) to hold true until
coalescing finishes in this situation. If the other cloned SKB is
released while the merging is in process, from_shinfo->nr_frags will be
set to 0 toward the end of the function, causing the increment of frag
page _refcount to be unexpectedly skipped resulting in inconsistent
reference counts. Later when SKB(@to) is released, it frees the page
directly even though the page pool page is still in use, leading to
use-after-free or double-free errors. So it should be prohibited.
The double-free error message below prompted us to investigate:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: pcn_uart: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Fix possible memory leak if device_add() fails
If device_add() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name() needs
be freed. As the comment of device_add() says, put_device() should be used
to decrease the reference count in the error path. So fix this by calling
put_device(), then the name can be freed in kobject_cleanp().
