Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.6.8 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mpls: Use rcu_dereference_rtnl() in mpls_route_input_rcu().
As syzbot reported [0], mpls_route_input_rcu() can be called
from mpls_getroute(), where is under RTNL.
net->mpls.platform_label is only updated under RTNL.
Let's use rcu_dereference_rtnl() in mpls_route_input_rcu() to
silence the splat.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: clean device rq_list in aoedev_downdev()
An aoe device's rq_list contains accepted block requests that are
waiting to be transmitted to the aoe target. This queue was added as
part of the conversion to blk_mq. However, the queue was not cleaned out
when an aoe device is downed which caused blk_mq_freeze_queue() to sleep
indefinitely waiting for those requests to complete, causing a hang. This
fix cleans out the queue before calling blk_mq_freeze_queue().

This issue seems to be related to the behavior of some gcc compilers and
was also fixed on the s390 architecture before:
commit d93a855c31b7 ("s390/ptrace: Avoid KASAN false positives in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth()")
As described in that commit, regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() has confirmed that
`addr` is on the stack, so reading the value at `*addr` should be allowed.
Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() helper to silence the KASAN check for this case.
[will: Use '*addr' as the argument to READ_ONCE_NOCHECK()]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: core: fbcvt: avoid division by 0 in fb_cvt_hperiod()
In fb_find_mode_cvt(), iff mode->refresh somehow happens to be 0x80000000,
cvt.f_refresh will become 0 when multiplying it by 2 due to overflow. It's
then passed to fb_cvt_hperiod(), where it's used as a divider -- division
by 0 will result in kernel oops. Add a sanity check for cvt.f_refresh to
avoid such overflow...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bus: fsl-mc: fix double-free on mc_dev
The blamed commit tried to simplify how the deallocations are done but,
in the process, introduced a double-free on the mc_dev variable.
In case the MC device is a DPRC, a new mc_bus is allocated and the
mc_dev variable is just a reference to one of its fields. In this
circumstance, on the error path only the mc_bus should be freed.
This commit introduces back the following checkpatch warning which is a
false-positive.
WARNING: kfree(NULL) is safe and this check is probably not required

drm/amd/pp: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in atomctrl_initialize_mc_reg_table
The function atomctrl_initialize_mc_reg_table() and
atomctrl_initialize_mc_reg_table_v2_2() does not check the return
value of smu_atom_get_data_table(). If smu_atom_get_data_table()
fails to retrieve vram_info, it returns NULL which is later
dereferenced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seg6: Fix validation of nexthop addresses
The kernel currently validates that the length of the provided nexthop
address does not exceed the specified length. This can lead to the
kernel reading uninitialized memory if user space provided a shorter
length than the specified one.
Fix by validating that the provided length exactly matches the specified
one.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: sun8i-ce-cipher - fix error handling in sun8i_ce_cipher_prepare()
Fix two DMA cleanup issues on the error path in sun8i_ce_cipher_prepare():
1] If dma_map_sg() fails for areq->dst, the device driver would try to free
DMA memory it has not allocated in the first place. To fix this, on the
"theend_sgs" error path, call dma unmap only if the corresponding dma
map was successful.
2] If the dma_map_single() call for the IV fails, the device driver would
try to free an invalid DMA memory address on the "theend_iv" path:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix node corruption in ar->arvifs list
In current WLAN recovery code flow, ath11k_core_halt() only
reinitializes the "arvifs" list head. This will cause the
list node immediately following the list head to become an
invalid list node. Because the prev of that node still points
to the list head "arvifs", but the next of the list head "arvifs"
no longer points to that list node.
When a WLAN recovery occurs during the execution of a vif
removal, and it happens before the spin_lock_bh(&ar->data_lock)
in ath11k_mac_op_remove_interface(), list_del() will detect the
previously mentioned situation, thereby triggering a kernel panic.
The fix is to remove and reinitialize all vif list nodes from the
list head "arvifs" during WLAN halt. The reinitialization is to make
the list nodes valid, ensuring that the list_del() in
ath11k_mac_op_remove_interface() can execute normally.
