Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.48 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: Fix use-after-free in geneve_find_dev().
syzkaller reported a use-after-free in geneve_find_dev() [0]
without repro.
geneve_configure() links struct geneve_dev.next to
net_generic(net, geneve_net_id)->geneve_list.
The net here could differ from dev_net(dev) if IFLA_NET_NS_PID,
IFLA_NET_NS_FD, or IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID is set.
When dev_net(dev) is dismantled, geneve_exit_batch_rtnl() finally
calls unregister_netdevice_queue() for each dev in the netns,
and later the dev is freed.
However, its geneve_dev.next is still linked to the backend UDP
socket netns.
Then, use-after-free will occur when another geneve dev is created
in the netns.
Let's call geneve_dellink() instead in geneve_destroy_tunnels().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: f_midi: f_midi_complete to call queue_work
When using USB MIDI, a lock is attempted to be acquired twice through a
re-entrant call to f_midi_transmit, causing a deadlock.
Fix it by using queue_work() to schedule the inner f_midi_transmit() via
a high priority work queue from the completion handler.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: stream-ipc: Check for cstream nullity in sof_ipc_msg_data()
The nullity of sps->cstream should be checked similarly as it is done in
sof_set_stream_data_offset() function.
Assuming that it is not NULL if sps->stream is NULL is incorrect and can
lead to NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix deadlock when freeing cgroup storage
The following commit
bc235cdb423a ("bpf: Prevent deadlock from recursive bpf_task_storage_[get|delete]")
first introduced deadlock prevention for fentry/fexit programs attaching
on bpf_task_storage helpers. That commit also employed the logic in map
free path in its v6 version.
Later bpf_cgrp_storage was first introduced in
c4bcfb38a95e ("bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs")
which faces the same issue as bpf_task_storage, instead of its busy
counter, NULL was passed to bpf_local_storage_map_free() which opened
a window to cause deadlock:

</TASK>
Progs:
- A: SEC("fentry/cgroup_storage_ptr")
- cgid (BPF_MAP_TYPE_HASH)
Record the id of the cgroup the current task belonging
to in this hash map, using the address of the cgroup
as the map key.
- cgrpa (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE)
If current task is a kworker, lookup the above hash
map using function parameter @owner as the key to get
its corresponding cgroup id which is then used to get
a trusted pointer to the cgroup through
bpf_cgroup_from_id(). This trusted pointer can then
be passed to bpf_cgrp_storage_get() to finally trigger
the deadlock issue.
- B: SEC("tp_btf/sys_enter")
- cgrpb (BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE)
The only purpose of this prog is to fill Prog A's
hash map by calling bpf_cgrp_storage_get() for as
many userspace tasks as possible.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run A;
- while (true) { Run B; Destroy B; }
Fix this issue by passing its busy counter to the free procedure so
it can be properly incremented before storage/smap locking.

btrfs: fix double accounting race when btrfs_run_delalloc_range() failed

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
acct: perform last write from workqueue
In [1] it was reported that the acct(2) system call can be used to
trigger NULL deref in cases where it is set to write to a file that
triggers an internal lookup. This can e.g., happen when pointing acc(2)
to /sys/power/resume. At the point the where the write to this file
happens the calling task has already exited and called exit_fs(). A
lookup will thus trigger a NULL-deref when accessing current->fs.
Reorganize the code so that the the final write happens from the
workqueue but with the caller's credentials. This preserves the
(strange) permission model and has almost no regression risk.
This api should stop to exist though.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_midi: fix MIDI Streaming descriptor lengths
While the MIDI jacks are configured correctly, and the MIDIStreaming
endpoint descriptors are filled with the correct information,
bNumEmbMIDIJack and bLength are set incorrectly in these descriptors.
This does not matter when the numbers of in and out ports are equal, but
when they differ the host will receive broken descriptors with
uninitialized stack memory leaking into the descriptor for whichever
value is smaller.
The precise meaning of "in" and "out" in the port counts is not clearly
defined and can be confusing. But elsewhere the driver consistently
uses this to match the USB meaning of IN and OUT viewed from the host,
so that "in" ports send data to the host and "out" ports receive data
from it.
