Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.14.307 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: prevent potential spectre v1 gadgets
Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from
__nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla()
u16 type = nla_type(nla);
if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) {
/* error or continue */
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses,
but an audit is needed to take care of others where
validation is not yet centralized in core netlink functions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vc_screen: move load of struct vc_data pointer in vcs_read() to avoid UAF
After a call to console_unlock() in vcs_read() the vc_data struct can be
freed by vc_deallocate(). Because of that, the struct vc_data pointer
load must be done at the top of while loop in vcs_read() to avoid a UAF
when vcs_size() is called.
Syzkaller reported a UAF in vcs_size().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/khugepaged: fix ->anon_vma race
If an ->anon_vma is attached to the VMA, collapse_and_free_pmd() requires
it to be locked.
Page table traversal is allowed under any one of the mmap lock, the
anon_vma lock (if the VMA is associated with an anon_vma), and the
mapping lock (if the VMA is associated with a mapping); and so to be
able to remove page tables, we must hold all three of them.
retract_page_tables() bails out if an ->anon_vma is attached, but does
this check before holding the mmap lock (as the comment above the check
explains).
If we racily merged an existing ->anon_vma (shared with a child
process) from a neighboring VMA, subsequent rmap traversals on pages
belonging to the child will be able to see the page tables that we are
concurrently removing while assuming that nothing else can access them.
Repeat the ->anon_vma check once we hold the mmap lock to ensure that
there really is no concurrent page table access.
Hitting this bug causes a lockdep warning in collapse_and_free_pmd(),
in the line "lockdep_assert_held_write(&vma->anon_vma->root->rwsem)".
It can also lead to use-after-free access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kernel/irq/irqdomain.c: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: always report error in run_one_delayed_ref()
Currently we have a btrfs_debug() for run_one_delayed_ref() failure, but
if end users hit such problem, there will be no chance that
btrfs_debug() is enabled. This can lead to very little useful info for
debugging.
This patch will:
- Add extra info for error reporting
Including:
* logical bytenr
* num_bytes
* type
* action
* ref_mod
- Replace the btrfs_debug() with btrfs_err()
- Move the error reporting into run_one_delayed_ref()
This is to avoid use-after-free, the @node can be freed in the caller.
This error should only be triggered at most once.
As if run_one_delayed_ref() failed, we trigger the error message, then
causing the call chain to error out:
btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
`- btrfs_run_delayed_refs()
`- btrfs_run_delayed_refs_for_head()
`- run_one_delayed_ref()
And we will abort the current transaction in btrfs_run_delayed_refs().
If we have to run delayed refs for the abort transaction,
run_one_delayed_ref() will just cleanup the refs and do nothing, thus no
new error messages would be output.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: imx-sdma: Fix a possible memory leak in sdma_transfer_init
If the function sdma_load_context() fails, the sdma_desc will be
freed, but the allocated desc->bd is forgot to be freed.
We already met the sdma_load_context() failure case and the log as
below:
[ 450.699064] imx-sdma 30bd0000.dma-controller: Timeout waiting for CH0 ready
...
In this case, the desc->bd will not be freed without this change.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: designware: use casting of u64 in clock multiplication to avoid overflow
In functions i2c_dw_scl_lcnt() and i2c_dw_scl_hcnt() may have overflow
by depending on the values of the given parameters including the ic_clk.
For example in our use case where ic_clk is larger than one million,
multiplication of ic_clk * 4700 will result in 32 bit overflow.
Add cast of u64 to the calculation to avoid multiplication overflow, and
use the corresponding define for divide.
