Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.27.26 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xtensa: Fix refcount leak bug in time.c
In calibrate_ccount(), of_find_compatible_node() will return a node
pointer with refcount incremented. We should use of_node_put() when
it is not used anymore.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xtensa: xtfpga: Fix refcount leak bug in setup
In machine_setup(), of_find_compatible_node() will return a node
pointer with refcount incremented. We should use of_node_put() when
it is not used anymore.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
srcu: Tighten cleanup_srcu_struct() GP checks
Currently, cleanup_srcu_struct() checks for a grace period in progress,
but it does not check for a grace period that has not yet started but
which might start at any time. Such a situation could result in a
use-after-free bug, so this commit adds a check for a grace period that
is needed but not yet started to cleanup_srcu_struct().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cipso: Fix data-races around sysctl.
While reading cipso sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently.
So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid data-races.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
icmp: Fix a data-race around sysctl_icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr.
While reading sysctl_icmp_errors_use_inbound_ifaddr, it can be changed
concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its reader.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: aspeed: Fix potential NULL dereference in aspeed_pinmux_set_mux()
pdesc could be null but still dereference pdesc->name and it will lead to
a null pointer access. So we move a null check before dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: sfp: fix memory leak in sfp_probe()
sfp_probe() allocates a memory chunk from sfp with sfp_alloc(). When
devm_add_action() fails, sfp is not freed, which leads to a memory leak.
We should use devm_add_action_or_reset() instead of devm_add_action().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: pmac32-cpufreq: Fix refcount leak bug
In pmac_cpufreq_init_MacRISC3(), we need to add corresponding
of_node_put() for the three node pointers whose refcount have
been incremented by of_find_node_by_name().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: avoid skb access on nf_stolen
When verdict is NF_STOLEN, the skb might have been freed.
When tracing is enabled, this can result in a use-after-free:
1. access to skb->nf_trace
2. access to skb->mark
3. computation of trace id
4. dump of packet payload
To avoid 1, keep a cached copy of skb->nf_trace in the
trace state struct.
Refresh this copy whenever verdict is != STOLEN.
Avoid 2 by skipping skb->mark access if verdict is STOLEN.
3 is avoided by precomputing the trace id.
Only dump the packet when verdict is not "STOLEN".
