Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.18 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ethernet: hisilicon: hns: hns_dsaf_misc: fix a possible array overflow in hns_dsaf_ge_srst_by_port()
The if statement:
if (port >= DSAF_GE_NUM)
return;
limits the value of port less than DSAF_GE_NUM (i.e., 8).
However, if the value of port is 6 or 7, an array overflow could occur:
port_rst_off = dsaf_dev->mac_cb[port]->port_rst_off;
because the length of dsaf_dev->mac_cb is DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM (i.e., 6).
To fix this possible array overflow, we first check port and if it is
greater than or equal to DSAF_MAX_PORT_NUM, the function returns.

drm/amd/amdkfd: Fix kernel panic when reset failed and been triggered again
In SRIOV configuration, the reset may failed to bring asic back to normal but stop cpsch
already been called, the start_cpsch will not be called since there is no resume in this
case. When reset been triggered again, driver should avoid to do uninitialization again.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bigbenff: prevent null pointer dereference
When emulating the device through uhid, there is a chance we don't have
output reports and so report_field is null.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Fix negative period/buffer sizes
The period size calculation in OSS layer may receive a negative value
as an error, but the code there assumes only the positive values and
handle them with size_t. Due to that, a too big value may be passed
to the lower layers.
This patch changes the code to handle with ssize_t and adds the proper
error checks appropriately.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix use-after-free due to delegation race
A delegation break could arrive as soon as we've called vfs_setlease. A
delegation break runs a callback which immediately (in
nfsd4_cb_recall_prepare) adds the delegation to del_recall_lru. If we
then exit nfs4_set_delegation without hashing the delegation, it will be
freed as soon as the callback is done with it, without ever being
removed from del_recall_lru.
Symptoms show up later as use-after-free or list corruption warnings,
usually in the laundromat thread.
I suspect aba2072f4523 "nfsd: grant read delegations to clients holding
writes" made this bug easier to hit, but I looked as far back as v3.0
and it looks to me it already had the same problem. So I'm not sure
where the bug was introduced; it may have been there from the beginning.

In case brtfs_qgroup_reserve_data() or btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata()
fail the allocated extent_changeset will not be freed.
So in btrfs_check_data_free_space() and btrfs_delalloc_reserve_space()
free the allocated extent_changeset to get rid of the allocated memory.
The issue currently only happens in the direct IO write path, but only
after 65b3c08606e5 ("btrfs: fix ENOSPC failure when attempting direct IO
write into NOCOW range"), and also at defrag_one_locked_target(). Every
other place is always calling extent_changeset_free() even if its call
to btrfs_delalloc_reserve_space() or btrfs_check_data_free_space() has
failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: oss: Limit the period size to 16MB
Set the practical limit to the period size (the fragment shift in OSS)
instead of a full 31bit; a too large value could lead to the exhaust
of memory as we allocate temporary buffers of the period size, too.
As of this patch, we set to 16MB limit, which should cover all use
cases.

released the jounal head from the buffer head. Needed to take bit lock
for the bit 'BH_JournalHead' to fix this race.
