In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: add a check to prevent array-index-out-of-bounds in dbAdjTree
When the value of lp is 0 at the beginning of the for loop, it will
become negative in the next assignment and we should bail out.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: fix array-index-out-of-bounds in jfs_readdir
The stbl might contain some invalid values. Added a check to
return error code in that case.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ovl: Filter invalid inodes with missing lookup function
Add a check to the ovl_dentry_weird() function to prevent the
processing of directory inodes that lack the lookup function.
This is important because such inodes can cause errors in overlayfs
when passed to the lowerstack.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mwifiex: Fix memcpy() field-spanning write warning in mwifiex_config_scan()
Replace one-element array with a flexible-array member in `struct
mwifiex_ie_types_wildcard_ssid_params` to fix the following warning
on a MT8173 Chromebook (mt8173-elm-hana):
[ 356.775250] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[ 356.784543] memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 6) of single field "wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid" at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 (size 1)
[ 356.813403] WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 742 at drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/scan.c:904 mwifiex_scan_networks+0x4fc/0xf28 [mwifiex]
The "(size 6)" above is exactly the length of the SSID of the network
this device was connected to. The source of the warning looks like:
ssid_len = user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid_len;
[...]
memcpy(wildcard_ssid_tlv->ssid,
user_scan_in->ssid_list[i].ssid, ssid_len);
There is a #define WILDCARD_SSID_TLV_MAX_SIZE that uses sizeof() on this
struct, but it already didn't account for the size of the one-element
array, so it doesn't need to be changed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: 6fire: Release resources at card release
The current 6fire code tries to release the resources right after the
call of usb6fire_chip_abort(). But at this moment, the card object
might be still in use (as we're calling snd_card_free_when_closed()).
For avoid potential UAFs, move the release of resources to the card's
private_free instead of the manual call of usb6fire_chip_destroy() at
the USB disconnect callback.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: caiaq: Use snd_card_free_when_closed() at disconnection
The USB disconnect callback is supposed to be short and not too-long
waiting. OTOH, the current code uses snd_card_free() at
disconnection, but this waits for the close of all used fds, hence it
can take long. It eventually blocks the upper layer USB ioctls, which
may trigger a soft lockup.
An easy workaround is to replace snd_card_free() with
snd_card_free_when_closed(). This variant returns immediately while
the release of resources is done asynchronously by the card device
release at the last close.
This patch also splits the code to the disconnect and the free phases;
the former is called immediately at the USB disconnect callback while
the latter is called from the card destructor.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: us122l: Use snd_card_free_when_closed() at disconnection
The USB disconnect callback is supposed to be short and not too-long
waiting. OTOH, the current code uses snd_card_free() at
disconnection, but this waits for the close of all used fds, hence it
can take long. It eventually blocks the upper layer USB ioctls, which
may trigger a soft lockup.
An easy workaround is to replace snd_card_free() with
snd_card_free_when_closed(). This variant returns immediately while
the release of resources is done asynchronously by the card device
release at the last close.
The loop of us122l->mmap_count check is dropped as well. The check is
useless for the asynchronous operation with *_when_closed().
