Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.14.2 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: do not bypass hid_hw_raw_request
hid_hw_raw_request() is actually useful to ensure the provided buffer
and length are valid. Directly calling in the low level transport driver
function bypassed those checks and allowed invalid paramto be used.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: core: ensure the allocated report buffer can contain the reserved report ID
When the report ID is not used, the low level transport drivers expect
the first byte to be 0. However, currently the allocated buffer not
account for that extra byte, meaning that instead of having 8 guaranteed
bytes for implement to be working, we only have 7.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: configfs: Fix OOB read on empty string write
When writing an empty string to either 'qw_sign' or 'landingPage'
sysfs attributes, the store functions attempt to access page[l - 1]
before validating that the length 'l' is greater than zero.
This patch fixes the vulnerability by adding a check at the beginning
of os_desc_qw_sign_store() and webusb_landingPage_store() to handle
the zero-length input case gracefully by returning immediately.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: das6402: Fix bit shift out of bounds
When checking for a supported IRQ number, the following test is used:
/* IRQs 2,3,5,6,7, 10,11,15 are valid for "enhanced" mode */
if ((1 << it->options[1]) & 0x8cec) {
However, `it->options[i]` is an unchecked `int` value from userspace, so
the shift amount could be negative or out of bounds. Fix the test by
requiring `it->options[1]` to be within bounds before proceeding with
the original test. Valid `it->options[1]` values that select the IRQ
will be in the range [1,15]. The value 0 explicitly disables the use of
interrupts.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: accel: fxls8962af: Fix use after free in fxls8962af_fifo_flush
fxls8962af_fifo_flush() uses indio_dev->active_scan_mask (with
iio_for_each_active_channel()) without making sure the indio_dev
stays in buffer mode.
There is a race if indio_dev exits buffer mode in the middle of the
interrupt that flushes the fifo. Fix this by calling
synchronize_irq() to ensure that no interrupt is currently running when
disabling buffer mode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix null-ptr-deref in l2cap_sock_resume_cb()
syzbot reported null-ptr-deref in l2cap_sock_resume_cb(). [0]
l2cap_sock_resume_cb() has a similar problem that was fixed by commit
1bff51ea59a9 ("Bluetooth: fix use-after-free error in lock_sock_nested()").
Since both l2cap_sock_kill() and l2cap_sock_resume_cb() are executed
under l2cap_sock_resume_cb(), we can avoid the issue simply by checking
if chan->data is NULL.
Let's not access to the killed socket in l2cap_sock_resume_cb().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: net: sierra: check for no status endpoint
The driver checks for having three endpoints and
having bulk in and out endpoints, but not that
the third endpoint is interrupt input.
Rectify the omission.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rpl: Fix use-after-free in rpl_do_srh_inline().
Running lwt_dst_cache_ref_loop.sh in selftest with KASAN triggers
the splat below [0].
rpl_do_srh_inline() fetches ipv6_hdr(skb) and accesses it after
skb_cow_head(), which is illegal as the header could be freed then.
Let's fix it by making oldhdr to a local struct instead of a pointer.
