Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.1.144 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fbdev: efifb: Register sysfs groups through driver core
The driver core can register and cleanup sysfs groups already.
Make use of that functionality to simplify the error handling and
cleanup.
Also avoid a UAF race during unregistering where the sysctl attributes
were usable after the info struct was freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu-tasks: Fix access non-existent percpu rtpcp variable in rcu_tasks_need_gpcb()
For kernels built with CONFIG_FORCE_NR_CPUS=y, the nr_cpu_ids is
defined as NR_CPUS instead of the number of possible cpus, this
will cause the following system panic:
smpboot: Allowing 4 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs
...
setup_percpu: NR_CPUS:512 nr_cpumask_bits:512 nr_cpu_ids:512 nr_node_ids:1
...

Considering that there may be holes in the CPU numbers, use the
maximum possible cpu number, instead of nr_cpu_ids, for configuring
enqueue and dequeue limits.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: avoid reading out of bounds when loading TX power FW elements
Because the loop-expression will do one more time before getting false from
cond-expression, the original code copied one more entry size beyond valid
region.
Fix it by moving the entry copy to loop-body.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: avoid NULL pointer dereference
iwl_mvm_tx_skb_sta() and iwl_mvm_tx_mpdu() verify that the mvmvsta
pointer is not NULL.
It retrieves this pointer using iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211, which is
dereferencing the ieee80211_sta pointer.
If sta is NULL, iwl_mvm_sta_from_mac80211 will dereference a NULL
pointer.
Fix this by checking the sta pointer before retrieving the mvmsta
from it. If sta is not NULL, then mvmsta isn't either.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check null pointer before try to access it
[why & how]
Change the order of the pipe_ctx->plane_state check to ensure that
plane_state is not null before accessing it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check for 'afb' in amdgpu_dm_update_cursor (v2)
This commit adds a null check for the 'afb' variable in the
amdgpu_dm_update_cursor function. Previously, 'afb' was assumed to be
null at line 8388, but was used later in the code without a null check.
This could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference.
Changes since v1:
- Moved the null check for 'afb' to the line where 'afb' is used. (Alex)
Fixes the below:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/amdgpu_dm/amdgpu_dm.c:8433 amdgpu_dm_update_cursor()
error: we previously assumed 'afb' could be null (see line 8388)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add NULL check for function pointer in dcn32_set_output_transfer_func
This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer
in the dcn32_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously,
set_output_gamma was being checked for null, but then it was being
dereferenced without any null check. This could lead to a null pointer
dereference if set_output_gamma is null.
To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before
dereferencing it. We do this by adding a null check for set_output_gamma
before the call to set_output_gamma.

This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check for pipe_ctx->plane_state in dcn20_program_pipe
This commit addresses a null pointer dereference issue in the
`dcn20_program_pipe` function. The issue could occur when
`pipe_ctx->plane_state` is null.
The fix adds a check to ensure `pipe_ctx->plane_state` is not null
before accessing. This prevents a null pointer dereference.
Reported by smatch:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn20/dcn20_hwseq.c:1925 dcn20_program_pipe() error: we previously assumed 'pipe_ctx->plane_state' could be null (see line 1877)
