net/sched: sch_taprio: fix possible use-after-free
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: sch_taprio: fix possible use-after-free
syzbot reported a nasty crash [1] in net_tx_action() which
made little sense until we got a repro.
This repro installs a taprio qdisc, but providing an
invalid TCA_RATE attribute.
qdisc_create() has to destroy the just initialized
taprio qdisc, and taprio_destroy() is called.
However, the hrtimer used by taprio had already fired,
therefore advance_sched() called __netif_schedule().
Then net_tx_action was trying to use a destroyed qdisc.
We can not undo the __netif_schedule(), so we must wait
until one cpu serviced the
l2tp: close all race conditions in l2tp_tunnel_register()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
l2tp: close all race conditions in l2tp_tunnel_register()
The code in l2tp_tunnel_register() is racy in several ways:
1. It modifies the tunnel socket _after_ publishing it.
2. It calls setup_udp_tunnel_sock() on an existing socket without
locking.
3. It changes sock lock class on fly, which triggers many syzbot
reports.
This patch amends all of them by moving socket initialization code
before publishing and under sock lock. As suggested by Jakub, the
l2tp lockdep class is not necessary as we can just switch to
bh_lock_sock_nested().
net: mdio: validate parameter addr in mdiobus_get_phy()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mdio: validate parameter addr in mdiobus_get_phy()
The caller may pass any value as addr, what may result in an out-of-bounds
access to array mdio_map. One existing case is stmmac_init_phy() that
may pass -1 as addr. Therefore validate addr before using it.
Bluetooth: Fix possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change
syzbot reports a possible deadlock in rfcomm_sk_state_change [1].
While rfcomm_sock_connect acquires the sk lock and waits for
the rfcomm lock, rfcomm_sock_release could have the rfcomm
lock and hit a deadlock for acquiring the sk lock.
Here's a simplified flow:
rfcomm_sock_connect:
lock_sock(sk)
rfcomm_dlc_open:
rfcomm_lock()
rfcomm_sock_release:
rfcomm_sock_shutdown:
rfcomm_lock()
__rfcomm_dlc_close:
rfcomm_k_state_change:
lock_sock(sk)
This patch drops the sk lock before calling rf
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: betop: check shape of output reports
betopff_init() only checks the total sum of the report counts for each
report field to be at least 4, but hid_betopff_play() expects 4 report
fields.
A device advertising an output report with one field and 4 report counts
would pass the check but crash the kernel with a NULL pointer dereference
in hid_betopff_play().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptdma: pt_core_execute_cmd() should use spinlock
The interrupt handler (pt_core_irq_handler()) of the ptdma
driver can be called from interrupt context. The code flow
in this function can lead down to pt_core_execute_cmd() which
will attempt to grab a mutex, which is not appropriate in
interrupt context and ultimately leads to a kernel panic.
The fix here changes this mutex to a spinlock, which has
been verified to resolve the issue.
thermal: core: call put_device() only after device_register() fails
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal: core: call put_device() only after device_register() fails
put_device() shouldn't be called before a prior call to
device_register(). __thermal_cooling_device_register() doesn't follow
that properly and needs fixing. Also
thermal_cooling_device_destroy_sysfs() is getting called unnecessarily
on few error paths.
Fix all this by placing the calls at the right place.
Based on initial work done by Caleb Connolly.
net: stmmac: enable all safety features by default
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stmmac: enable all safety features by default
In the original implementation of dwmac5
commit 8bf993a5877e ("net: stmmac: Add support for DWMAC5 and implement Safety Features")
all safety features were enabled by default.
Later it seems some implementations didn't have support for all the
features, so in
commit 5ac712dcdfef ("net: stmmac: enable platform specific safety features")
the safety_feat_cfg structure was added to the callback and defined for
some platforms to selectively enable these safety features.
The problem is that only certain platforms were given tha
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: fix potential memory leaks in session setup
Make sure to free cifs_ses::auth_key.response before allocating it as
we might end up leaking memory in reconnect or mounting.
tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be used
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Make sure trace_printk() can output as soon as it can be used
Currently trace_printk() can be used as soon as early_trace_init() is
called from start_kernel(). But if a crash happens, and
"ftrace_dump_on_oops" is set on the kernel command line, all you get will
be:
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 347519us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 353141us : Unknown type 6
[ 0.456075] <idle>-0 0dN.2. 358684us : Unknown type 6
This is because the trace_printk() event (type 6) hasn't been registered
yet. That gets done via
cifs: Fix oops due to uncleared server->smbd_conn in reconnect
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: Fix oops due to uncleared server->smbd_conn in reconnect
In smbd_destroy(), clear the server->smbd_conn pointer after freeing the
smbd_connection struct that it points to so that reconnection doesn't get
confused.
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
trace_events_hist: add check for return value of 'create_hist_field'
Function 'create_hist_field' is called recursively at
trace_events_hist.c:1954 and can return NULL-value that's why we have
to check it to avoid null pointer dereference.

EDAC/qcom: Do not pass llcc_driv_data as edac_device_ctl_info's pvt_info
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/qcom: Do not pass llcc_driv_data as edac_device_ctl_info's pvt_info
The memory for llcc_driv_data is allocated by the LLCC driver. But when
it is passed as the private driver info to the EDAC core, it will get freed
during the qcom_edac driver release. So when the qcom_edac driver gets probed
again, it will try to use the freed data leading to the use-after-free bug.
Hence, do not pass llcc_driv_data as pvt_info but rather reference it
using the platform_data pointer in the qcom_edac driver.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netlink: prevent potential spectre v1 gadgets
Most netlink attributes are parsed and validated from
__nla_validate_parse() or validate_nla()
u16 type = nla_type(nla);
if (type == 0 || type > maxtype) {
/* error or continue */
}
@type is then used as an array index and can be used
as a Spectre v1 gadget.
array_index_nospec() can be used to prevent leaking
content of kernel memory to malicious users.
This should take care of vast majority of netlink uses,
but an audit is needed to take care of others where
validation is not yet centralized in core net
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fix UaF in netns ops registration error path
If net_assign_generic() fails, the current error path in ops_init() tries
to clear the gen pointer slot. Anyway, in such error path, the gen pointer
itself has not been modified yet, and the existing and accessed one is
smaller than the accessed index, causing an out-of-bounds error:

ipv4: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget in ip_metrics_convert()

if (!type)
continue;

@type being used as an array index, we need to prevent
cpu speculation or risk leaking kernel memory content.

return false;

x86/i8259: Mark legacy PIC interrupts with IRQ_LEVEL
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/i8259: Mark legacy PIC interrupts with IRQ_LEVEL
Baoquan reported that after triggering a crash the subsequent crash-kernel
fails to boot about half of the time. It triggers a NULL pointer
dereference in the periodic tick code.
This happens because the legacy timer interrupt (IRQ0) is resent in
software which happens in soft interrupt (tasklet) context. In this context
get_irq_regs() returns NULL which leads to the NULL pointer dereference.
The reason for the resend is a spurious APIC interrupt on the IRQ0 vector
which is captured and leads to a resend when the legacy
