Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.5.32 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to tag gcing flag on page during block migration
It needs to add missing gcing flag on page during block migration,
in order to garantee migrated data be persisted during checkpoint,
otherwise out-of-order persistency between data and node may cause
data corruption after SPOR.
Similar issue was fixed by commit 2d1fe8a86bf5 ("f2fs: fix to tag
gcing flag on page during file defragment").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix deadlock or deadcode of misusing dget()
The lock order is incorrect between denty and its parent, we should
always make sure that the parent get the lock first.
But since this deadcode is never used and the parent dir will always
be set from the callers, let's just remove it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tun: avoid double free in tun_free_netdev
Avoid double free in tun_free_netdev() by moving the
dev->tstats and tun->security allocs to a new ndo_init routine
(tun_net_init()) that will be called by register_netdevice().
ndo_init is paired with the desctructor (tun_free_netdev()),
so if there's an error in register_netdevice() the destructor
will handle the frees.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phonet/pep: refuse to enable an unbound pipe
This ioctl() implicitly assumed that the socket was already bound to
a valid local socket name, i.e. Phonet object. If the socket was not
bound, two separate problems would occur:
1) We'd send an pipe enablement request with an invalid source object.
2) Later socket calls could BUG on the socket unexpectedly being
connected yet not bound to a valid object.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: remove BUG() after failure to insert delayed dir index item
Instead of calling BUG() when we fail to insert a delayed dir index item
into the delayed node's tree, we can just release all the resources we
have allocated/acquired before and return the error to the caller. This is
fine because all existing call chains undo anything they have done before
calling btrfs_insert_delayed_dir_index() or BUG_ON (when creating pending
snapshots in the transaction commit path).
So remove the BUG() call and do proper error handling.
This relates to a syzbot report linked below, but does not fix it because
it only prevents hitting a BUG(), it does not fix the issue where somehow
we attempt to use twice the same index number for different index items.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: dts: qcom: sdm845-db845c: Mark cont splash memory region as reserved
Adding a reserved memory region for the framebuffer memory
(the splash memory region set up by the bootloader).
It fixes a kernel panic (arm-smmu: Unhandled context fault
at this particular memory region) reported on DB845c running
v5.10.y.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: drop messages from MDS when unmounting
When unmounting all the dirty buffers will be flushed and after
the last osd request is finished the last reference of the i_count
will be released. Then it will flush the dirty cap/snap to MDSs,
and the unmounting won't wait the possible acks, which will ihold
the inodes when updating the metadata locally but makes no sense
any more, of this. This will make the evict_inodes() to skip these
inodes.
If encrypt is enabled the kernel generate a warning when removing
the encrypt keys when the skipped inodes still hold the keyring:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ring-buffer: Do not attempt to read past "commit"
When iterating over the ring buffer while the ring buffer is active, the
writer can corrupt the reader. There's barriers to help detect this and
handle it, but that code missed the case where the last event was at the
very end of the page and has only 4 bytes left.
The checks to detect the corruption by the writer to reads needs to see the
length of the event. If the length in the first 4 bytes is zero then the
length is stored in the second 4 bytes. But if the writer is in the process
of updating that code, there's a small window where the length in the first
4 bytes could be zero even though the length is only 4 bytes. That will
cause rb_event_length() to read the next 4 bytes which could happen to be off the
allocated page.
To protect against this, fail immediately if the next event pointer is
less than 8 bytes from the end of the commit (last byte of data), as all
events must be a minimum of 8 bytes anyway.
