Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.33.18 Security Vulnerabilities
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:
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.

When ocfs2_test_bg_bit_allocatable() called bh2jh(bg_bh), the

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

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm rq: don't queue request to blk-mq during DM suspend
DM uses blk-mq's quiesce/unquiesce to stop/start device mapper queue.
But blk-mq's unquiesce may come from outside events, such as elevator
switch, updating nr_requests or others, and request may come during
suspend, so simply ask for blk-mq to requeue it.
Fixes one kernel panic issue when running updating nr_requests and
dm-mpath suspend/resume stress test.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: vmk80xx: fix bulk-buffer overflow
The driver is using endpoint-sized buffers but must not assume that the
tx and rx buffers are of equal size or a malicious device could overflow
the slab-allocated receive buffer when doing bulk transfers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: vmk80xx: fix transfer-buffer overflows
The driver uses endpoint-sized USB transfer buffers but up until
recently had no sanity checks on the sizes.
Commit e1f13c879a7c ("staging: comedi: check validity of wMaxPacketSize
of usb endpoints found") inadvertently fixed NULL-pointer dereferences
when accessing the transfer buffers in case a malicious device has a
zero wMaxPacketSize.
Make sure to allocate buffers large enough to handle also the other
accesses that are done without a size check (e.g. byte 18 in
vmk80xx_cnt_insn_read() for the VMK8061_MODEL) to avoid writing beyond
the buffers, for example, when doing descriptor fuzzing.
The original driver was for a low-speed device with 8-byte buffers.
Support was later added for a device that uses bulk transfers and is
presumably a full-speed device with a maximum 64-byte wMaxPacketSize.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: dt9812: fix DMA buffers on stack
USB transfer buffers are typically mapped for DMA and must not be
allocated on the stack or transfers will fail.
Allocate proper transfer buffers in the various command helpers and
return an error on short transfers instead of acting on random stack
data.
Note that this also fixes a stack info leak on systems where DMA is not
used as 32 bytes are always sent to the device regardless of how short
the command is.

isofs: Fix out of bound access for corrupted isofs image
When isofs image is suitably corrupted isofs_read_inode() can read data
beyond the end of buffer. Sanity-check the directory entry length before
using it.
