Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.17.4 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86: Handle SRCU initialization failure during page track init
Check the return of init_srcu_struct(), which can fail due to OOM, when
initializing the page track mechanism. Lack of checking leads to a NULL
pointer deref found by a modified syzkaller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc2: check return value after calling platform_get_resource()
It will cause null-ptr-deref if platform_get_resource() returns NULL,
we need check the return value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: betop: fix slab-out-of-bounds Write in betop_probe
Syzbot reported slab-out-of-bounds Write bug in hid-betopff driver.
The problem is the driver assumes the device must have an input report but
some malicious devices violate this assumption.
So this patch checks hid_device's input is non empty before it's been used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (w83792d) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field
If driver read val value sufficient for
(val & 0x08) && (!(val & 0x80)) && ((val & 0x7) == ((val >> 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[].
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: macb: fix use after free on rmmod
plat_dev->dev->platform_data is released by platform_device_unregister(),
use of pclk and hclk is a use-after-free. Since device unregister won't
need a clk device we adjust the function call sequence to fix this issue.

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).
