Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.15.105 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: check for zero length in DecodeQ931()
In DecodeQ931(), the UserUserIE code path reads a 16-bit length from
the packet, then decrements it by 1 to skip the protocol discriminator
byte before passing it to DecodeH323_UserInformation(). If the encoded
length is 0, the decrement wraps to -1, which is then passed as a
large value to the decoder, leading to an out-of-bounds read.
Add a check to ensure len is positive after the decrement.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_h323: fix OOB read in decode_int() CONS case
In decode_int(), the CONS case calls get_bits(bs, 2) to read a length
value, then calls get_uint(bs, len) without checking that len bytes
remain in the buffer. The existing boundary check only validates the
2 bits for get_bits(), not the subsequent 1-4 bytes that get_uint()
reads. This allows a malformed H.323/RAS packet to cause a 1-4 byte
slab-out-of-bounds read.
Add a boundary check for len bytes after get_bits() and before
get_uint().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_conntrack_sip: fix Content-Length u32 truncation in sip_help_tcp()
sip_help_tcp() parses the SIP Content-Length header with
simple_strtoul(), which returns unsigned long, but stores the result in
unsigned int clen. On 64-bit systems, values exceeding UINT_MAX are
silently truncated before computing the SIP message boundary.
For example, Content-Length 4294967328 (2^32 + 32) is truncated to 32,
causing the parser to miscalculate where the current message ends. The
loop then treats trailing data in the TCP segment as a second SIP
message and processes it through the SDP parser.
Fix this by changing clen to unsigned long to match the return type of
simple_strtoul(), and reject Content-Length values that exceed the
remaining TCP payload length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ctnetlink: fix use-after-free in ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct()
ctnetlink_dump_exp_ct() stores a conntrack pointer in cb->data for the
netlink dump callback ctnetlink_exp_ct_dump_table(), but drops the
conntrack reference immediately after netlink_dump_start(). When the
dump spans multiple rounds, the second recvmsg() triggers the dump
callback which dereferences the now-freed conntrack via nfct_help(ct),
leading to a use-after-free on ct->ext.
The bug is that the netlink_dump_control has no .start or .done
callbacks to manage the conntrack reference across dump rounds. Other
dump functions in the same file (e.g. ctnetlink_get_conntrack) properly
use .start/.done callbacks for this purpose.
Fix this by adding .start and .done callbacks that hold and release the
conntrack reference for the duration of the dump, and move the
nfct_help() call after the cb->args[0] early-return check in the dump
callback to avoid dereferencing ct->ext unnecessarily.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/rose: fix NULL pointer dereference in rose_transmit_link on reconnect
syzkaller reported a bug [1], and the reproducer is available at [2].
ROSE sockets use four sk->sk_state values: TCP_CLOSE, TCP_LISTEN,
TCP_SYN_SENT, and TCP_ESTABLISHED. rose_connect() already rejects
calls for TCP_ESTABLISHED (-EISCONN) and TCP_CLOSE with SS_CONNECTING
(-ECONNREFUSED), but lacks a check for TCP_SYN_SENT.
When rose_connect() is called a second time while the first connection
attempt is still in progress (TCP_SYN_SENT), it overwrites
rose->neighbour via rose_get_neigh(). If that returns NULL, the socket
is left with rose->state == ROSE_STATE_1 but rose->neighbour == NULL.
When the socket is subsequently closed, rose_release() sees
ROSE_STATE_1 and calls rose_write_internal() ->
rose_transmit_link(skb, NULL), causing a NULL pointer dereference.
Per connect(2), a second connect() while a connection is already in
progress should return -EALREADY. Add this missing check for
TCP_SYN_SENT to complete the state validation in rose_connect().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: runtime: Fix a race condition related to device removal
The following code in pm_runtime_work() may dereference the dev->parent
pointer after the parent device has been freed:
/* Maybe the parent is now able to suspend. */
if (parent && !parent->power.ignore_children) {
spin_unlock(&dev->power.lock);
spin_lock(&parent->power.lock);
rpm_idle(parent, RPM_ASYNC);
spin_unlock(&parent->power.lock);
spin_lock(&dev->power.lock);
}
Fix this by inserting a flush_work() call in pm_runtime_remove().
Without this patch blktest block/001 triggers the following complaint

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: fix use-after-free in mana_hwc_destroy_channel() by reordering teardown
A potential race condition exists in mana_hwc_destroy_channel() where
hwc->caller_ctx is freed before the HWC's Completion Queue (CQ) and
Event Queue (EQ) are destroyed. This allows an in-flight CQ interrupt
handler to dereference freed memory, leading to a use-after-free or
NULL pointer dereference in mana_hwc_handle_resp().
mana_smc_teardown_hwc() signals the hardware to stop but does not
synchronize against IRQ handlers already executing on other CPUs. The
IRQ synchronization only happens in mana_hwc_destroy_cq() via
mana_gd_destroy_eq() -> mana_gd_deregister_irq(). Since this runs
after kfree(hwc->caller_ctx), a concurrent mana_hwc_rx_event_handler()
can dereference freed caller_ctx (and rxq->msg_buf) in
mana_hwc_handle_resp().
Fix this by reordering teardown to reverse-of-creation order: destroy
the TX/RX work queues and CQ/EQ before freeing hwc->caller_ctx. This
ensures all in-flight interrupt handlers complete before the memory they
access is freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: aqc111: Do not perform PM inside suspend callback
syzbot reports "task hung in rpm_resume"
This is caused by aqc111_suspend calling
the PM variant of its write_cmd routine.
The simplified call trace looks like this:
rpm_suspend()
usb_suspend_both() - here udev->dev.power.runtime_status == RPM_SUSPENDING
aqc111_suspend() - called for the usb device interface
aqc111_write32_cmd()
usb_autopm_get_interface()
pm_runtime_resume_and_get()
rpm_resume() - here we call rpm_resume() on our parent
rpm_resume() - Here we wait for a status change that will never happen.
At this point we block another task which holds
rtnl_lock and locks up the whole networking stack.
Fix this by replacing the write_cmd calls with their _nopm variants

net: usb: cdc_ncm: add ndpoffset to NDP32 nframes bounds check
The same bounds-check bug fixed for NDP16 in the previous patch also
exists in cdc_ncm_rx_verify_ndp32(). The DPE array size is validated
against the total skb length without accounting for ndpoffset, allowing
out-of-bounds reads when the NDP32 is placed near the end of the NTB.
Add ndpoffset to the nframes bounds check and use struct_size_t() to
express the NDP-plus-DPE-array size more clearly.
Compile-tested only.
