Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.15.107 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_vti: fix potential slab-use-after-free in decode_session6
When ip_vti device is set to the qdisc of the sfb type, the cb field
of the sent skb may be modified during enqueuing. Then,
slab-use-after-free may occur when ip_vti device sends IPv6 packets.
As commit f855691975bb ("xfrm6: Fix the nexthdr offset in
_decode_session6.") showed, xfrm_decode_session was originally intended
only for the receive path. IP6CB(skb)->nhoff is not set during
transmission. Therefore, set the cb field in the skb to 0 before
sending packets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/histograms: Add histograms to hist_vars if they have referenced variables
Hist triggers can have referenced variables without having direct
variables fields. This can be the case if referenced variables are added
for trigger actions. In this case the newly added references will not
have field variables. Not taking such referenced variables into
consideration can result in a bug where it would be possible to remove
hist trigger with variables being refenced. This will result in a bug
that is easily reproducable like so
$ cd /sys/kernel/tracing
$ echo 'synthetic_sys_enter char[] comm; long id' >> synthetic_events
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo 'hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:onmatch(raw_syscalls.sys_enter).synthetic_sys_enter($comm, id)' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger
$ echo '!hist:keys=common_pid.execname,id.syscall:vals=hitcount:comm=common_pid.execname' >> events/raw_syscalls/sys_enter/trigger

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: iosm: fix NULL pointer dereference when removing device
In suspend and resume cycle, the removal and rescan of device ends
up in NULL pointer dereference.
During driver initialization, if the ipc_imem_wwan_channel_init()
fails to get the valid device capabilities it returns an error and
further no resource (wwan struct) will be allocated. Now in this
situation if driver removal procedure is initiated it would result
in NULL pointer exception since unallocated wwan struct is dereferenced
inside ipc_wwan_deinit().
ipc_imem_run_state_worker() to handle the called functions return value
and to release the resource in failure case. It also reports the link
down event in failure cases. The user space application can handle this
event to do a device reset for restoring the device communication.

This bug is caused by the fact that usbnet trusts the bulk endpoint
addresses its probe routine receives in the driver_info structure, and
it does not check to see that these endpoints actually exist and have
the expected type and directions.
The fix is simply to add such a check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mtd: rawnand: brcmnand: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in oob write
When the oob buffer length is not in multiple of words, the oob write
function does out-of-bounds read on the oob source buffer at the last
iteration. Fix that by always checking length limit on the oob buffer
read and fill with 0xff when reaching the end of the buffer to the oob
