In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid cycles in directory h-tree
A maliciously corrupted filesystem can contain cycles in the h-tree
stored inside a directory. That can easily lead to the kernel corrupting
tree nodes that were already verified under its hands while doing a node
split and consequently accessing unallocated memory. Fix the problem by
verifying traversed block numbers are unique.
bpf, arm64: Clear prog->jited_len along prog->jited
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, arm64: Clear prog->jited_len along prog->jited
syzbot reported an illegal copy_to_user() attempt
from bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() [1]
There was no repro yet on this bug, but I think
that commit 0aef499f3172 ("mm/usercopy: Detect vmalloc overruns")
is exposing a prior bug in bpf arm64.
bpf_prog_get_info_by_fd() looks at prog->jited_len
to determine if the JIT image can be copied out to user space.
My theory is that syzbot managed to get a prog where prog->jited_len
has been set to 43, while prog->bpf_func has ben cleared.
It is not clear why copy_to_user(uinsns, NULL,
ip_gre: test csum_start instead of transport header
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip_gre: test csum_start instead of transport header
GRE with TUNNEL_CSUM will apply local checksum offload on
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL packets.
ipgre_xmit must validate csum_start after an optional skb_pull,
else lco_csum may trigger an overflow. The original check was
if (csum && skb_checksum_start(skb) < skb->data)
return -EINVAL;
This had false positives when skb_checksum_start is undefined:
when ip_summed is not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. A discussed refinement
was straightforward
if (csum && skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL &&
skb_checksum_start(skb) < skb->data)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv6: unexport __init-annotated seg6_hmac_init()
EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot
use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up
with kernel panic.
modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.
Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this
showed up in linux-next builds.
There are two ways to fix it:
- Remove __init
- Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL
I chose the latter for this case because the caller (net/i
ocfs2: dlmfs: fix error handling of user_dlm_destroy_lock
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: dlmfs: fix error handling of user_dlm_destroy_lock
When user_dlm_destroy_lock failed, it didn't clean up the flags it set
before exit. For USER_LOCK_IN_TEARDOWN, if this function fails because of
lock is still in used, next time when unlink invokes this function, it
will return succeed, and then unlink will remove inode and dentry if lock
is not in used(file closed), but the dlm lock is still linked in dlm lock
resource, then when bast come in, it will trigger a panic due to
user-after-free. See the following panic call trace. To fix this,

drm/etnaviv: check for reaped mapping in etnaviv_iommu_unmap_gem
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/etnaviv: check for reaped mapping in etnaviv_iommu_unmap_gem
When the mapping is already reaped the unmap must be a no-op, as we
would otherwise try to remove the mapping twice, corrupting the involved
data structures.
drm/amdgpu/cs: make commands with 0 chunks illegal behaviour.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/cs: make commands with 0 chunks illegal behaviour.
Submitting a cs with 0 chunks, causes an oops later, found trying
to execute the wrong userspace driver.

nfc: st21nfca: fix memory leaks in EVT_TRANSACTION handling

Error paths do not free previously allocated memory. Add devm_kfree() to
those failure paths.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: fix tcp_mtup_probe_success vs wrong snd_cwnd
syzbot got a new report [1] finally pointing to a very old bug,
added in initial support for MTU probing.
tcp_mtu_probe() has checks about starting an MTU probe if
tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) >= 11.
But nothing prevents tcp_snd_cwnd(tp) to be reduced later
and before the MTU probe succeeds.
This bug would lead to potential zero-divides.
Debugging added in commit 40570375356c ("tcp: add accessors
to read/set tp->snd_cwnd") has paid off :)
While we are at it, address potential overflows in this code.

tracing: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context on RT kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Fix sleeping function called from invalid context on RT kernel
When setting bootparams="trace_event=initcall:initcall_start tp_printk=1" in the
cmdline, the output_printk() was called, and the spin_lock_irqsave() was called in the
atomic and irq disable interrupt context suitation. On the PREEMPT_RT kernel,
these locks are replaced with sleepable rt-spinlock, so the stack calltrace will
be triggered.
Fix it by raw_spin_lock_irqsave when PREEMPT_RT and "trace_event=initcall:initcall_start
tp_printk=1" enabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: remove WARN_ON in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr
Syzbot triggers two WARNs in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr and
__is_bitmap_valid. For example, in f2fs_is_valid_blkaddr,
if type is DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE or DATA_GENERIC_ENHANCE_READ,
it invokes WARN_ON if blkaddr is not in the right range.
The call trace is as follows:

NFSv4: Don't hold the layoutget locks across multiple RPC calls
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4: Don't hold the layoutget locks across multiple RPC calls
When doing layoutget as part of the open() compound, we have to be
careful to release the layout locks before we can call any further RPC
calls, such as setattr(). The reason is that those calls could trigger
a recall, which could deadlock.
