Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.26 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Fix double SIGFPE crash
Camm noticed that on parisc a SIGFPE exception will crash an application with
a second SIGFPE in the signal handler. Dave analyzed it, and it happens
because glibc uses a double-word floating-point store to atomically update
function descriptors. As a result of lazy binding, we hit a floating-point
store in fpe_func almost immediately.
When the T bit is set, an assist exception trap occurs when when the
co-processor encounters *any* floating-point instruction except for a double
store of register %fr0. The latter cancels all pending traps. Let's fix this
by clearing the Trap (T) bit in the FP status register before returning to the
signal handler in userspace.
The issue can be reproduced with this test program:
root@parisc:~# cat fpe.c
static void fpe_func(int sig, siginfo_t *i, void *v) {
sigset_t set;
sigemptyset(&set);
sigaddset(&set, SIGFPE);
sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, &set, NULL);
printf("GOT signal %d with si_code %ld\n", sig, i->si_code);
}
int main() {
struct sigaction action = {
.sa_sigaction = fpe_func,
.sa_flags = SA_RESTART|SA_SIGINFO };
sigaction(SIGFPE, &action, 0);
feenableexcept(FE_OVERFLOW);
return printf("%lf\n",1.7976931348623158E308*1.7976931348623158E308);
}

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix resource leak in blk_register_queue() error path
When registering a queue fails after blk_mq_sysfs_register() is
successful but the function later encounters an error, we need
to clean up the blk_mq_sysfs resources.
Add the missing blk_mq_sysfs_unregister() call in the error path
to properly clean up these resources and prevent a memory leak.

wifi: wl1251: fix memory leak in wl1251_tx_work
The skb dequeued from tx_queue is lost when wl1251_ps_elp_wakeup fails
with a -ETIMEDOUT error. Fix that by queueing the skb back to tx_queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: light: opt3001: fix deadlock due to concurrent flag access
The threaded IRQ function in this driver is reading the flag twice: once to
lock a mutex and once to unlock it. Even though the code setting the flag
is designed to prevent it, there are subtle cases where the flag could be
true at the mutex_lock stage and false at the mutex_unlock stage. This
results in the mutex not being unlocked, resulting in a deadlock.
Fix it by making the opt3001_irq() code generally more robust, reading the
flag into a variable and using the variable value at both stages.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/huge_memory: fix dereferencing invalid pmd migration entry
When migrating a THP, concurrent access to the PMD migration entry during
a deferred split scan can lead to an invalid address access, as
illustrated below. To prevent this invalid access, it is necessary to
check the PMD migration entry and return early. In this context, there is
no need to use pmd_to_swp_entry and pfn_swap_entry_to_page to verify the
equality of the target folio. Since the PMD migration entry is locked, it
cannot be served as the target.
Mailing list discussion and explanation from Hugh Dickins: "An anon_vma
lookup points to a location which may contain the folio of interest, but
might instead contain another folio: and weeding out those other folios is
precisely what the "folio != pmd_folio((*pmd)" check (and the "risk of
replacing the wrong folio" comment a few lines above it) is for."

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix uninit-value for saddr in do_output_route4
syzbot reports for uninit-value for the saddr argument [1].
commit 4754957f04f5 ("ipvs: do not use random local source address for
tunnels") already implies that the input value of saddr
should be ignored but the code is still reading it which can prevent
to connect the route. Fix it by changing the argument to ret_saddr.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: bpf: Only mitigate cBPF programs loaded by unprivileged users
Support for eBPF programs loaded by unprivileged users is typically
disabled. This means only cBPF programs need to be mitigated for BHB.
In addition, only mitigate cBPF programs that were loaded by an
unprivileged user. Privileged users can also load the same program
via eBPF, making the mitigation pointless.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: Avoid race in open_cached_dir with lease breaks
A pre-existing valid cfid returned from find_or_create_cached_dir might
race with a lease break, meaning open_cached_dir doesn't consider it
valid, and thinks it's newly-constructed. This leaks a dentry reference
if the allocation occurs before the queued lease break work runs.
Avoid the race by extending holding the cfid_list_lock across
find_or_create_cached_dir and when the result is checked.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: bpf: Add BHB mitigation to the epilogue for cBPF programs
A malicious BPF program may manipulate the branch history to influence
what the hardware speculates will happen next.
On exit from a BPF program, emit the BHB mititgation sequence.
This is only applied for 'classic' cBPF programs that are loaded by
seccomp.
