Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.14 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: pvrusb2: fix use after free on context disconnection
Upon module load, a kthread is created targeting the
pvr2_context_thread_func function, which may call pvr2_context_destroy
and thus call kfree() on the context object. However, that might happen
before the usb hub_event handler is able to notify the driver. This
patch adds a sanity check before the invalid read reported by syzbot,
within the context disconnection call stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: netdevsim: don't try to destroy PHC on VFs
PHC gets initialized in nsim_init_netdevsim(), which
is only called if (nsim_dev_port_is_pf()).
Create a counterpart of nsim_init_netdevsim() and
move the mock_phc_destroy() there.
This fixes a crash trying to destroy netdevsim with
VFs instantiated, as caught by running the devlink.sh test:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: explicitly null-terminate the xattr list
When setting an xattr, explicitly null-terminate the xattr list. This
eliminates the fragile assumption that the unused xattr space is always
zeroed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: prevent mss overflow in skb_segment()
Once again syzbot is able to crash the kernel in skb_segment() [1]
GSO_BY_FRAGS is a forbidden value, but unfortunately the following
computation in skb_segment() can reach it quite easily :
mss = mss * partial_segs;
65535 = 3 * 5 * 17 * 257, so many initial values of mss can lead to
a bad final result.
Make sure to limit segmentation so that the new mss value is smaller
than GSO_BY_FRAGS.

A vulnerability was reported in the Open vSwitch sub-component in the Linux Kernel. The flaw occurs when a recursive operation of code push recursively calls into the code block. The OVS module does not validate the stack depth, pushing too many frames and causing a stack overflow. As a result, this can lead to a crash or other related issues.
