Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.59 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net_sched: drr: Fix double list add in class with netem as child qdisc
As described in Gerrard's report [1], there are use cases where a netem
child qdisc will make the parent qdisc's enqueue callback reentrant.
In the case of drr, there won't be a UAF, but the code will add the same
classifier to the list twice, which will cause memory corruption.
In addition to checking for qlen being zero, this patch checks whether the
class was already added to the active_list (cl_is_active) before adding
to the list to cover for the reentrant case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: mtk-star-emac: fix spinlock recursion issues on rx/tx poll
Use spin_lock_irqsave and spin_unlock_irqrestore instead of spin_lock
and spin_unlock in mtk_star_emac driver to avoid spinlock recursion
occurrence that can happen when enabling the DMA interrupts again in
rx/tx poll.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: Fix race condition in AF_XDP generic RX path
Move rx_lock from xsk_socket to xsk_buff_pool.
Fix synchronization for shared umem mode in
generic RX path where multiple sockets share
single xsk_buff_pool.
RX queue is exclusive to xsk_socket, while FILL
queue can be shared between multiple sockets.
This could result in race condition where two
CPU cores access RX path of two different sockets
sharing the same umem.
Protect both queues by acquiring spinlock in shared
xsk_buff_pool.
Lock contention may be minimized in the future by some
per-thread FQ buffering.
It's safe and necessary to move spin_lock_bh(rx_lock)
after xsk_rcv_check():
* xs->pool and spinlock_init is synchronized by
xsk_bind() -> xsk_is_bound() memory barriers.
* xsk_rcv_check() may return true at the moment
of xsk_release() or xsk_unbind_dev(),
however this will not cause any data races or
race conditions. xsk_unbind_dev() removes xdp
socket from all maps and waits for completion
of all outstanding rx operations. Packets in
RX path will either complete safely or drop.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vxlan: vnifilter: Fix unlocked deletion of default FDB entry
When a VNI is deleted from a VXLAN device in 'vnifilter' mode, the FDB
entry associated with the default remote (assuming one was configured)
is deleted without holding the hash lock. This is wrong and will result
in a warning [1] being generated by the lockdep annotation that was
added by commit ebe642067455 ("vxlan: Create wrappers for FDB lookup").
Reproducer:
# ip link add vx0 up type vxlan dstport 4789 external vnifilter local 192.0.2.1
# bridge vni add vni 10010 remote 198.51.100.1 dev vx0
# bridge vni del vni 10010 dev vx0
Fix by acquiring the hash lock before the deletion and releasing it
afterwards. Blame the original commit that introduced the issue rather
than the one that exposed it.

It has been reported that trace_seq_to_buffer() tries to copy more data
than PAGE_SIZE to buf. Therefore, to prevent this, we should use the
smaller of trace_seq_used(&iter->seq) and PAGE_SIZE as an argument.

net: lan743x: Fix memleak issue when GSO enabled
Always map the `skb` to the LS descriptor. Previously skb was
mapped to EXT descriptor when the number of fragments is zero with
GSO enabled. Mapping the skb to EXT descriptor prevents it from
being freed, leading to a memory leak

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Fix out-of-bound memcpy() during ethtool -w
When retrieving the FW coredump using ethtool, it can sometimes cause
memory corruption:
BUG: KFENCE: memory corruption in __bnxt_get_coredump+0x3ef/0x670 [bnxt_en]
Corrupted memory at 0x000000008f0f30e8 [ ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ] (in kfence-#45):

__x64_sys_ioctl+0x87/0xc0
do_syscall_64+0x5c/0xf0
entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x78/0x80
...
This happens when copying the coredump segment list in
bnxt_hwrm_dbg_dma_data() with the HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_LIST FW command.
The info->dest_buf buffer is allocated based on the number of coredump
segments returned by the FW. The segment list is then DMA'ed by
the FW and the length of the DMA is returned by FW. The driver then
copies this DMA'ed segment list to info->dest_buf.
In some cases, this DMA length may exceed the info->dest_buf length
and cause the above BUG condition. Fix it by capping the copy
length to not exceed the length of info->dest_buf. The extra
DMA data contains no useful information.
This code path is shared for the HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_LIST and the
HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_RETRIEVE FW commands. The buffering is different
for these 2 FW commands. To simplify the logic, we need to move
the line to adjust the buffer length for HWRM_DBG_COREDUMP_RETRIEVE
up, so that the new check to cap the copy length will work for both
commands.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: plfxlc: Remove erroneous assert in plfxlc_mac_release
plfxlc_mac_release() asserts that mac->lock is held. This assertion is
incorrect, because even if it was possible, it would not be the valid
behaviour. The function is used when probe fails or after the device is
disconnected. In both cases mac->lock can not be held as the driver is
not working with the device at the moment. All functions that use mac->lock
unlock it just after it was held. There is also no need to hold mac->lock
for plfxlc_mac_release() itself, as mac data is not affected, except for
mac->flags, which is modified atomically.
This bug leads to the following warning:
