Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.63 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in atomctrl_get_smc_sclk_range_table
The function atomctrl_get_smc_sclk_range_table() does not check the return
value of smu_atom_get_data_table(). If smu_atom_get_data_table() fails to
retrieve SMU_Info table, it returns NULL which is later dereferenced.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
In practice this should never happen as this code only gets called
on polaris chips and the vbios data table will always be present on
those chips.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rxrpc: Fix handling of received connection abort
Fix the handling of a connection abort that we've received. Though the
abort is at the connection level, it needs propagating to the calls on that
connection. Whilst the propagation bit is performed, the calls aren't then
woken up to go and process their termination, and as no further input is
forthcoming, they just hang.
Also add some tracing for the logging of connection aborts.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: core: Fix ida_free call while not allocated
In the rproc_alloc() function, on error, put_device(&rproc->dev) is
called, leading to the call of the rproc_type_release() function.
An error can occurs before ida_alloc is called.
In such case in rproc_type_release(), the condition (rproc->index >= 0) is
true as rproc->index has been initialized to 0.
ida_free() is called reporting a warning:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hrtimers: Force migrate away hrtimers queued after CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING
hrtimers are migrated away from the dying CPU to any online target at
the CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING stage in order not to delay bandwidth timers
handling tasks involved in the CPU hotplug forward progress.
However wakeups can still be performed by the outgoing CPU after
CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING. Those can result again in bandwidth timers being
armed. Depending on several considerations (crystal ball power management
based election, earliest timer already enqueued, timer migration enabled or
not), the target may eventually be the current CPU even if offline. If that
happens, the timer is eventually ignored.
The most notable example is RCU which had to deal with each and every of
those wake-ups by deferring them to an online CPU, along with related
workarounds:
_ e787644caf76 (rcu: Defer RCU kthreads wakeup when CPU is dying)
_ 9139f93209d1 (rcu/nocb: Fix RT throttling hrtimer armed from offline CPU)
_ f7345ccc62a4 (rcu/nocb: Fix rcuog wake-up from offline softirq)
The problem isn't confined to RCU though as the stop machine kthread
(which runs CPUHP_AP_HRTIMERS_DYING) reports its completion at the end
of its work through cpu_stop_signal_done() and performs a wake up that
eventually arms the deadline server timer:

Instead of providing yet another bandaid to work around the situation, fix
it in the hrtimers infrastructure instead: always migrate away a timer to
an online target whenever it is enqueued from an offline CPU.
This will also allow to revert all the above RCU disgraceful hacks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: xilinx_uartps: split sysrq handling
lockdep detects the following circular locking dependency:
CPU 0 CPU 1
========================== ============================
cdns_uart_isr() printk()
uart_port_lock(port) console_lock()
cdns_uart_console_write()
if (!port->sysrq)
uart_port_lock(port)
uart_handle_break()
port->sysrq = ...
uart_handle_sysrq_char()
printk()
console_lock()
The fixed commit attempts to avoid this situation by only taking the
port lock in cdns_uart_console_write if port->sysrq unset. However, if
(as shown above) cdns_uart_console_write runs before port->sysrq is set,
then it will try to take the port lock anyway. This may result in a
deadlock.
Fix this by splitting sysrq handling into two parts. We use the prepare
helper under the port lock and defer handling until we release the lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: Drop unmanaged ELP metric worker
The ELP worker needs to calculate new metric values for all neighbors
"reachable" over an interface. Some of the used metric sources require
locks which might need to sleep. This sleep is incompatible with the RCU
list iterator used for the recorded neighbors. The initial approach to work
around of this problem was to queue another work item per neighbor and then
run this in a new context.
Even when this solved the RCU vs might_sleep() conflict, it has a major
problems: Nothing was stopping the work item in case it is not needed
anymore - for example because one of the related interfaces was removed or
the batman-adv module was unloaded - resulting in potential invalid memory
accesses.
Directly canceling the metric worker also has various problems:
* cancel_work_sync for a to-be-deactivated interface is called with
rtnl_lock held. But the code in the ELP metric worker also tries to use
rtnl_lock() - which will never return in this case. This also means that
cancel_work_sync would never return because it is waiting for the worker
to finish.
* iterating over the neighbor list for the to-be-deactivated interface is
currently done using the RCU specific methods. Which means that it is
possible to miss items when iterating over it without the associated
spinlock - a behaviour which is acceptable for a periodic metric check
but not for a cleanup routine (which must "stop" all still running
workers)
The better approch is to get rid of the per interface neighbor metric
worker and handle everything in the interface worker. The original problems
are solved by:
* creating a list of neighbors which require new metric information inside
the RCU protected context, gathering the metric according to the new list
outside the RCU protected context
* only use rcu_trylock inside metric gathering code to avoid a deadlock
when the cancel_delayed_work_sync is called in the interface removal code
(which is called with the rtnl_lock held)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: rcar-ep: Fix incorrect variable used when calling devm_request_mem_region()
The rcar_pcie_parse_outbound_ranges() uses the devm_request_mem_region()
macro to request a needed resource. A string variable that lives on the
stack is then used to store a dynamically computed resource name, which
is then passed on as one of the macro arguments. This can lead to
undefined behavior.
Depending on the current contents of the memory, the manifestations of
errors may vary. One possible output may be as follows:
$ cat /proc/iomem
30000000-37ffffff :
38000000-3fffffff :
Sometimes, garbage may appear after the colon.
In very rare cases, if no NULL-terminator is found in memory, the system
might crash because the string iterator will overrun which can lead to
access of unmapped memory above the stack.
Thus, fix this by replacing outbound_name with the name of the previously
requested resource. With the changes applied, the output will be as
follows:
$ cat /proc/iomem
30000000-37ffffff : memory2
38000000-3fffffff : memory3

net: let net.core.dev_weight always be non-zero
The following problem was encountered during stability test:

The reproduction command is as follows:
sysctl -w net.core.dev_weight=0
ping 127.0.0.1
This is because when the napi's weight is set to 0, process_backlog() may
return 0 and clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit of napi->state, causing this
napi to be re-polled in net_rx_action() until __do_softirq() times out.
Since the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit has been cleared, napi_schedule_rps() can
be retriggered in enqueue_to_backlog(), causing this issue.
Making the napi's weight always non-zero solves this problem.
Triggering this issue requires system-wide admin (setting is
not namespaced).
