Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.6.63 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: uvcvideo: Remove dangling pointers
When an async control is written, we copy a pointer to the file handle
that started the operation. That pointer will be used when the device is
done. Which could be anytime in the future.
If the user closes that file descriptor, its structure will be freed,
and there will be one dangling pointer per pending async control, that
the driver will try to use.
Clean all the dangling pointers during release().
To avoid adding a performance penalty in the most common case (no async
operation), a counter has been introduced with some logic to make sure
that it is properly handled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: i2c: ds90ub9x3: Fix extra fwnode_handle_put()
The ub913 and ub953 drivers call fwnode_handle_put(priv->sd.fwnode) as
part of their remove process, and if the driver is removed multiple
times, eventually leads to put "overflow", possibly causing memory
corruption or crash.
The fwnode_handle_put() is a leftover from commit 905f88ccebb1 ("media:
i2c: ds90ub9x3: Fix sub-device matching"), which changed the code
related to the sd.fwnode, but missed removing these fwnode_handle_put()
calls.

tpm: Change to kvalloc() in eventlog/acpi.c
The following failure was reported on HPE ProLiant D320:

Address the bug by moving from devm_kmalloc() to devm_add_action() and
kvmalloc() and devm_add_action().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: dwc: ep: Prevent changing BAR size/flags in pci_epc_set_bar()
In commit 4284c88fff0e ("PCI: designware-ep: Allow pci_epc_set_bar() update
inbound map address") set_bar() was modified to support dynamically
changing the backing physical address of a BAR that was already configured.
This means that set_bar() can be called twice, without ever calling
clear_bar() (as calling clear_bar() would clear the BAR's PCI address
assigned by the host).
This can only be done if the new BAR size/flags does not differ from the
existing BAR configuration. Add these missing checks.
If we allow set_bar() to set e.g. a new BAR size that differs from the
existing BAR size, the new address translation range will be smaller than
the BAR size already determined by the host, which would mean that a read
past the new BAR size would pass the iATU untranslated, which could allow
the host to read memory not belonging to the new struct pci_epf_bar.
While at it, add comments which clarifies the support for dynamically
changing the physical address of a BAR. (Which was also missing.)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: qcom: socinfo: Avoid out of bounds read of serial number
On MSM8916 devices, the serial number exposed in sysfs is constant and does
not change across individual devices. It's always:
db410c:/sys/devices/soc0$ cat serial_number
2644893864
The firmware used on MSM8916 exposes SOCINFO_VERSION(0, 8), which does not
have support for the serial_num field in the socinfo struct. There is an
existing check to avoid exposing the serial number in that case, but it's
not correct: When checking the item_size returned by SMEM, we need to make
sure the *end* of the serial_num is within bounds, instead of comparing
with the *start* offset. The serial_number currently exposed on MSM8916
devices is just an out of bounds read of whatever comes after the socinfo
struct in SMEM.
Fix this by changing offsetof() to offsetofend(), so that the size of the
field is also taken into account.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binfmt_flat: Fix integer overflow bug on 32 bit systems
Most of these sizes and counts are capped at 256MB so the math doesn't
result in an integer overflow. The "relocs" count needs to be checked
as well. Otherwise on 32bit systems the calculation of "full_data"
could be wrong.
full_data = data_len + relocs * sizeof(unsigned long);

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/gem: prevent integer overflow in msm_ioctl_gem_submit()
The "submit->cmd[i].size" and "submit->cmd[i].offset" variables are u32
values that come from the user via the submit_lookup_cmds() function.
This addition could lead to an integer wrapping bug so use size_add()
to prevent that.

fs/ntfs3: Mark inode as bad as soon as error detected in mi_enum_attr()
Extended the `mi_enum_attr()` function interface with an additional
parameter, `struct ntfs_inode *ni`, to allow marking the inode
as bad as soon as an error is detected.

NFS: Fix potential buffer overflowin nfs_sysfs_link_rpc_client()
name is char[64] where the size of clnt->cl_program->name remains
unknown. Invoking strcat() directly will also lead to potential buffer
overflow. Change them to strscpy() and strncat() to fix potential
issues.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: bsg: Set bsg_queue to NULL after removal
Currently, this does not cause any issues, but I believe it is necessary to
set bsg_queue to NULL after removing it to prevent potential use-after-free
(UAF) access.
