Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
loop: implement ->free_disk
Ensure that the lo_device which is stored in the gendisk private
data is valid until the gendisk is freed. Currently the loop driver
uses a lot of effort to make sure a device is not freed when it is
still in use, but to to fix a potential deadlock this will be relaxed
a bit soon.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Protect memory leak for NPIV ports sending PLOGI_RJT
There is a potential memory leak in lpfc_ignore_els_cmpl() and
lpfc_els_rsp_reject() that was allocated from NPIV PLOGI_RJT
(lpfc_rcv_plogi()'s login_mbox).
Check if cmdiocb->context_un.mbox was allocated in lpfc_ignore_els_cmpl(),
and then free it back to phba->mbox_mem_pool along with mbox->ctx_buf for
service parameters.
For lpfc_els_rsp_reject() failure, free both the ctx_buf for service
parameters and the login_mbox.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix null pointer dereference after failing to issue FLOGI and PLOGI
If lpfc_issue_els_flogi() fails and returns non-zero status, the node
reference count is decremented to trigger the release of the nodelist
structure. However, if there is a prior registration or dev-loss-evt work
pending, the node may be released prematurely. When dev-loss-evt
completes, the released node is referenced causing a use-after-free null
pointer dereference.
Similarly, when processing non-zero ELS PLOGI completion status in
lpfc_cmpl_els_plogi(), the ndlp flags are checked for a transport
registration before triggering node removal. If dev-loss-evt work is
pending, the node may be released prematurely and a subsequent call to
lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler() results in a use after free ndlp dereference.
Add test for pending dev-loss before decrementing the node reference count
for FLOGI, PLOGI, PRLI, and ADISC handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: jack: Access input_dev under mutex
It is possible when using ASoC that input_dev is unregistered while
calling snd_jack_report, which causes NULL pointer dereference.
In order to prevent this serialize access to input_dev using mutex lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: venus: hfi: avoid null dereference in deinit
If venus_probe fails at pm_runtime_put_sync the error handling first
calls hfi_destroy and afterwards hfi_core_deinit. As hfi_destroy sets
core->ops to NULL, hfi_core_deinit cannot call the core_deinit function
anymore.
Avoid this null pointer derefence by skipping the call when necessary.
