Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.33.7 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rapidio: fix possible name leaks when rio_add_device() fails
Patch series "rapidio: fix three possible memory leaks".
This patchset fixes three name leaks in error handling.
- patch #1 fixes two name leaks while rio_add_device() fails.
- patch #2 fixes a name leak while rio_register_mport() fails.
This patch (of 2):
If rio_add_device() returns error, the name allocated by dev_set_name()
need be freed. It should use put_device() to give up the reference in the
error path, so that the name can be freed in kobject_cleanup(), and the
'rdev' can be freed in rio_release_dev().

Fix this by initializing hfc_tl timer with DEFINE_TIMER macro.
Also, use mod_timer instead of manual timeout update.

When writing to the function_profile_enabled interface, the notifier was
not unregistered after start_graph_tracing failed, causing a warning the
next time function_profile_enabled was written.
Fixed by adding unregister_pm_notifier in the exception path.

udf: Do not update file length for failed writes to inline files
When write to inline file fails (or happens only partly), we still
updated length of inline data as if the whole write succeeded. Fix the
update of length of inline data to happen only if the write succeeds.

The driver accessed wr_object pointer data, which was initialized into
mailbox payload memory, after the mailbox object was released back to the
mailbox pool.
Fix by moving the mailbox free calls to the end of the routine ensuring
that we don't reference internal mailbox memory after release.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: add bounds checking in get_max_inline_xattr_value_size()
Normally the extended attributes in the inode body would have been
checked when the inode is first opened, but if someone is writing to
the block device while the file system is mounted, it's possible for
the inode table to get corrupted. Add bounds checking to avoid
reading beyond the end of allocated memory if this happens.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Return the firmware result upon destroying QP/RQ
Previously when destroying a QP/RQ, the result of the firmware
destruction function was ignored and upper layers weren't informed
about the failure.
Which in turn could lead to various problems since when upper layer
isn't aware of the failure it continues its operation thinking that the
related QP/RQ was successfully destroyed while it actually wasn't,
which could lead to the below kernel WARN.
Currently, we return the correct firmware destruction status to upper
layers which in case of the RQ would be mlx5_ib_destroy_wq() which
was already capable of handling RQ destruction failure or in case of
a QP to destroy_qp_common(), which now would actually warn upon qp
destruction failure.
