Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.12.10 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nfcmrvl: Fix potential memory leak in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send()
nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send() will be called by nfcmrvl_nci_send(), and skb
should be freed in nfcmrvl_i2c_nci_send(). However, nfcmrvl_nci_send()
will only free skb when i2c_master_send() return >=0, which means skb
will memleak when i2c_master_send() failed. Free skb no matter whether
i2c_master_send() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nxp-nci: Fix potential memory leak in nxp_nci_send()
nxp_nci_send() will call nxp_nci_i2c_write(), and only free skb when
nxp_nci_i2c_write() failed. However, even if the nxp_nci_i2c_write()
run succeeds, the skb will not be freed in nxp_nci_i2c_write(). As the
result, the skb will memleak. nxp_nci_send() should also free the skb
when nxp_nci_i2c_write() succeeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix use-after-free caused by l2cap_reassemble_sdu
Fix the race condition between the following two flows that run in
parallel:
1. l2cap_reassemble_sdu -> chan->ops->recv (l2cap_sock_recv_cb) ->
__sock_queue_rcv_skb.
2. bt_sock_recvmsg -> skb_recv_datagram, skb_free_datagram.
An SKB can be queued by the first flow and immediately dequeued and
freed by the second flow, therefore the callers of l2cap_reassemble_sdu
can't use the SKB after that function returns. However, some places
continue accessing struct l2cap_ctrl that resides in the SKB's CB for a
short time after l2cap_reassemble_sdu returns, leading to a
use-after-free condition (the stack trace is below, line numbers for
kernel 5.19.8).
Fix it by keeping a local copy of struct l2cap_ctrl.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests
In the test_no_shared_qgroup() and test_multiple_refs() qgroup self tests,
if we fail to add the tree ref, remove the extent item or remove the
extent ref, we are returning from the test function without freeing the
"old_roots" ulist that was allocated by the previous calls to
btrfs_find_all_roots(). Fix that by calling ulist_free() before returning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()
During backref walking, at resolve_indirect_refs(), if we get an error
we jump to the 'out' label and call ulist_free() on the 'parents' ulist,
which frees all the elements in the ulist - however that does not free
any inode lists that may be attached to elements, through the 'aux' field
of a ulist node, so we end up leaking lists if we have any attached to
the unodes.
Fix this by calling free_leaf_list() instead of ulist_free() when we exit
from resolve_indirect_refs(). The static function free_leaf_list() is
moved up for this to be possible and it's slightly simplified by removing
unnecessary code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mISDN: fix possible memory leak in mISDN_register_device()
Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
add put_device() to give up the reference, so that the name can be
freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount is 0.
Set device class before put_device() to avoid null release() function
WARN message in device_release().

Which is this code in tree_mod_log_rewind()
switch (tm->op) {
case BTRFS_MOD_LOG_KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING:
BUG_ON(tm->slot < n);
This occurs because we replay the nodes in order that they happened, and
when we do a REPLACE we will log a REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING for every slot,
starting at 0. 'n' here is the number of items in this block, which in
this case was 1, but we had 2 REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING operations.
The actual root cause of this was that we were replaying operations for
a block that shouldn't have been replayed. Consider the following
sequence of events
1. We have an already modified root, and we do a btrfs_get_tree_mod_seq().
2. We begin removing items from this root, triggering KEY_REPLACE for
it's child slots.
3. We remove one of the 2 children this root node points to, thus triggering
the root node promotion of the remaining child, and freeing this node.
4. We modify a new root, and re-allocate the above node to the root node of
this other root.
The tree mod log looks something like this
logical 0 op KEY_REPLACE (slot 1) seq 2
logical 0 op KEY_REMOVE (slot 1) seq 3
logical 0 op KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING (slot 0) seq 4
logical 4096 op LOG_ROOT_REPLACE (old logical 0) seq 5
logical 8192 op KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING (slot 1) seq 6
logical 8192 op KEY_REMOVE_WHILE_FREEING (slot 0) seq 7
logical 0 op LOG_ROOT_REPLACE (old logical 8192) seq 8
>From here the bug is triggered by the following steps
1. Call btrfs_get_old_root() on the new_root.
2. We call tree_mod_log_oldest_root(btrfs_root_node(new_root)), which is
currently logical 0.
3. tree_mod_log_oldest_root() calls tree_mod_log_search_oldest(), which
gives us the KEY_REPLACE seq 2, and since that's not a
LOG_ROOT_REPLACE we incorrectly believe that we don't have an old
root, because we expect that the most recent change should be a
LOG_ROOT_REPLACE.
4. Back in tree_mod_log_oldest_root() we don't have a LOG_ROOT_REPLACE,
so we don't set old_root, we simply use our e
