Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.298 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: fix potential memleak in 'add_widget_node'
As 'kobject_add' may allocated memory for 'kobject->name' when return error.
And in this function, if call 'kobject_add' failed didn't free kobject.
So call 'kobject_put' to recycling resources.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mISDN: fix possible memory leak in mISDN_dsp_element_register()
Afer commit 1fa5ae857bb1 ("driver core: get rid of struct device's
bus_id string array"), the name of device is allocated dynamically,
use put_device() to give up the reference, so that the name can be
freed in kobject_cleanup() when the refcount is 0.
The 'entry' is going to be freed in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(), so the
kfree() is removed. list_del() is called in mISDN_dsp_dev_release(),
so it need be initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-transport: fix error handling in ata_tdev_add()
In ata_tdev_add(), the return value of transport_add_device() is
not checked. As a result, it causes null-ptr-deref while removing
the module, because transport_remove_device() is called to remove
the device that was not added.

Fix this by checking and handling return value of transport_add_device()
in ata_tdev_add(). In the error path, device_del() is called to delete
the device which was added earlier in this function, and ata_tdev_free()
is called to free ata_dev.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/x25: Fix skb leak in x25_lapb_receive_frame()
x25_lapb_receive_frame() using skb_copy() to get a private copy of
skb, the new skb should be freed in the undersized/fragmented skb
error handling path. Otherwise there is a memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drbd: use after free in drbd_create_device()
The drbd_destroy_connection() frees the "connection" so use the _safe()
iterator to prevent a use after free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ena: Fix error handling in ena_init()
The ena_init() won't destroy workqueue created by
create_singlethread_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed.
Call destroy_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed to prevent the
resource leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kcm: close race conditions on sk_receive_queue
sk->sk_receive_queue is protected by skb queue lock, but for KCM
sockets its RX path takes mux->rx_lock to protect more than just
skb queue. However, kcm_recvmsg() still only grabs the skb queue
lock, so race conditions still exist.
We can teach kcm_recvmsg() to grab mux->rx_lock too but this would
introduce a potential performance regression as struct kcm_mux can
be shared by multiple KCM sockets.
So we have to enforce skb queue lock in requeue_rx_msgs() and handle
skb peek case carefully in kcm_wait_data(). Fortunately,
skb_recv_datagram() already handles it nicely and is widely used by
other sockets, we can just switch to skb_recv_datagram() after
getting rid of the unnecessary sock lock in kcm_recvmsg() and
kcm_splice_read(). Side note: SOCK_DONE is not used by KCM sockets,
so it is safe to get rid of this check too.
I ran the original syzbot reproducer for 30 min without seeing any
issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix null pointer dereference in ftrace_add_mod()
The @ftrace_mod is allocated by kzalloc(), so both the members {prev,next}
of @ftrace_mode->list are NULL, it's not a valid state to call list_del().
If kstrdup() for @ftrace_mod->{func|module} fails, it goes to @out_free
tag and calls free_ftrace_mod() to destroy @ftrace_mod, then list_del()
will write prev->next and next->prev, where null pointer dereference
happens.
