x86/mce: Work around an erratum on fast string copy instructions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mce: Work around an erratum on fast string copy instructions
A rare kernel panic scenario can happen when the following conditions
are met due to an erratum on fast string copy instructions:
1) An uncorrected error.
2) That error must be in first cache line of a page.
3) Kernel must execute page_copy from the page immediately before that
page.
The fast string copy instructions ("REP; MOVS*") could consume an
uncorrectable memory error in the cache line _right after_ the desired
region to copy and raise an MCE.
Bit 0 of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE can be cleared to disable f
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm ioctl: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget
It appears like cmd could be a Spectre v1 gadget as it's supplied by a
user and used as an array index. Prevent the contents of kernel memory
from being leaked to userspace via speculative execution by using
array_index_nospec.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix tag leaks on error
In pm8001_chip_set_dev_state_req(), pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_req(),
pm80xx_chip_phy_ctl_req() and pm8001_chip_reg_dev_req() add missing calls
to pm8001_tag_free() to free the allocated tag when pm8001_mpi_build_cmd()
fails.
Similarly, in pm8001_exec_internal_task_abort(), if the chip ->task_abort
method fails, the tag allocated for the abort request task must be
freed. Add the missing call to pm8001_tag_free().
scsi: pm8001: Fix task leak in pm8001_send_abort_all()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix task leak in pm8001_send_abort_all()
In pm8001_send_abort_all(), make sure to free the allocated sas task
if pm8001_tag_alloc() or pm8001_mpi_build_cmd() fail.
scsi: pm8001: Fix memory leak in pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_req()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: pm8001: Fix memory leak in pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_req()
In pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_build(), if
pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_build() fails, the struct fw_control_ex
allocated must be freed.
scsi: libfc: Fix use after free in fc_exch_abts_resp()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: libfc: Fix use after free in fc_exch_abts_resp()
fc_exch_release(ep) will decrease the ep's reference count. When the
reference count reaches zero, it is freed. But ep is still used in the
following code, which will lead to a use after free.
Return after the fc_exch_release() call to avoid use after free.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: Fix use after free in hci_send_acl
This fixes the following trace caused by receiving
HCI_EV_DISCONN_PHY_LINK_COMPLETE which does call hci_conn_del without

do properly cleanup upper layers with hci_disconn_cfm:

ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_readdir when note_last_dentry returns error
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ceph: fix memory leak in ceph_readdir when note_last_dentry returns error
Reset the last_readdir at the same time, and add a comment explaining
why we don't free last_readdir when dir_emit returns false.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio_console: eliminate anonymous module_init & module_exit
Eliminate anonymous module_init() and module_exit(), which can lead to
confusion or ambiguity when reading System.map, crashes/oops/bugs,
or an initcall_debug log.
Give each of these init and exit functions unique driver-specific
names to eliminate the anonymous names.
Example 1: (System.map)
ffffffff832fc78c t init
ffffffff832fc79e t init
ffffffff832fc8f8 t init
Example 2: (initcall_debug log)

scsi: zorro7xx: Fix a resource leak in zorro7xx_remove_one()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: zorro7xx: Fix a resource leak in zorro7xx_remove_one()
The error handling path of the probe releases a resource that is not freed
in the remove function. In some cases, a ioremap() must be undone.
Add the missing iounmap() call in the remove function.
mm/mempolicy: fix mpol_new leak in shared_policy_replace
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mempolicy: fix mpol_new leak in shared_policy_replace
If mpol_new is allocated but not used in restart loop, mpol_new will be
freed via mpol_put before returning to the caller. But refcnt is not
initialized yet, so mpol_put could not do the right things and might
leak the unused mpol_new. This would happen if mempolicy was updated on
the shared shmem file while the sp->lock has been dropped during the
memory allocation.
This issue could be triggered easily with the below code snippet if
there are many processes doing the below work at the same time:

mmmremap.c: avoid pointless invalidate_range_start/end on mremap(old_size=0)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmmremap.c: avoid pointless invalidate_range_start/end on mremap(old_size=0)
If an mremap() syscall with old_size=0 ends up in move_page_tables(), it
will call invalidate_range_start()/invalidate_range_end() unnecessarily,
i.e. with an empty range.
This causes a WARN in KVM's mmu_notifier. In the past, empty ranges
have been diagnosed to be off-by-one bugs, hence the WARNing. Given the
low (so far) number of unique reports, the benefits of detecting more
buggy callers seem to outweigh the cost of having to fix cases such as
this one, where userspace is doing something s
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
veth: Ensure eth header is in skb's linear part
After feeding a decapsulated packet to a veth device with act_mirred,
skb_headlen() may be 0. But veth_xmit() calls __dev_forward_skb(),
which expects at least ETH_HLEN byte of linear data (as
__dev_forward_skb2() calls eth_type_trans(), which pulls ETH_HLEN bytes
unconditionally).
Use pskb_may_pull() to ensure veth_xmit() respects this constraint.

nfc: nci: add flush_workqueue to prevent uaf
Our detector found a concurrent use-after-free bug when detaching an
NCI device. The main reason for this bug is the unexpected scheduling
between the used delayed mechanism (timer and workqueue).
The race can be demonstrated below:

cifs: potential buffer overflow in handling symlinks
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: potential buffer overflow in handling symlinks
Smatch printed a warning:
arch/x86/crypto/poly1305_glue.c:198 poly1305_update_arch() error:
__memcpy() 'dctx->buf' too small (16 vs u32max)
It's caused because Smatch marks 'link_len' as untrusted since it comes
from sscanf(). Add a check to ensure that 'link_len' is not larger than
the size of the 'link_str' buffer.
jffs2: fix use-after-free in jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jffs2: fix use-after-free in jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem
When we mount a jffs2 image, assume that the first few blocks of
the image are normal and contain at least one xattr-related inode,
but the next block is abnormal. As a result, an error is returned
in jffs2_scan_eraseblock(). jffs2_clear_xattr_subsystem() is then
called in jffs2_build_filesystem() and then again in
jffs2_do_fill_super().
Finally we can observe the following report:
