Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.19.139 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: qup: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path
Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this
case the dma resources are not released in the error path. this is never
retried later and so this is a permanent leak. To fix this, only skip
hardware disabling if waking the device fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-core: Fix double free in dvb_register_device()
In function dvb_register_device() -> dvb_register_media_device() ->
dvb_create_media_entity(), dvb->entity is allocated and initialized. If
the initialization fails, it frees the dvb->entity, and return an error
code. The caller takes the error code and handles the error by calling
dvb_media_device_free(), which unregisters the entity and frees the
field again if it is not NULL. As dvb->entity may not NULLed in
dvb_create_media_entity() when the allocation of dvbdev->pad fails, a
double free may occur. This may also cause an Use After free in
media_device_unregister_entity().
Fix this by storing NULL to dvb->entity when it is freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: coda: Add check for dcoda_iram_alloc
As the coda_iram_alloc may return NULL pointer,
it should be better to check the return value
in order to avoid NULL poineter dereference,
same as the others.

Use rtas_busy_delay_time() instead, which signals without side effects
whether to attempt the ibm,os-term RTAS call again.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/amd: Fix pci device refcount leak in ppr_notifier()
As comment of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() says, it returns
a pci device with refcount increment, when finish using it,
the caller must decrement the reference count by calling
pci_dev_put(). So call it before returning from ppr_notifier()
to avoid refcount leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: fix use-after-free on probe deferral
The bridge counter was never reset when tearing down the DRM device so
that stale pointers to deallocated structures would be accessed on the
next tear down (e.g. after a second late bind deferral).
Given enough bridges and a few probe deferrals this could currently also
lead to data beyond the bridge array being corrupted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: intel_powerclamp: Use get_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id() to avoid crash
When CPU 0 is offline and intel_powerclamp is used to inject
idle, it generates kernel BUG:
BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: bash/15687
caller is debug_smp_processor_id+0x17/0x20
CPU: 4 PID: 15687 Comm: bash Not tainted 5.19.0-rc7+ #57
Call Trace:

...
Here CPU 0 is the control CPU by default and changed to the current CPU,
if CPU 0 offlined. This check has to be performed under cpus_read_lock(),
hence the above warning.
Use get_cpu() instead of smp_processor_id() to avoid this BUG.
