Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.19.11 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: dell-wmi-sysman: bound enumeration string aggregation
populate_enum_data() aggregates firmware-provided value-modifier
and possible-value strings into fixed 512-byte struct members.
The current code bounds each individual source string but then
appends every string and separator with raw strcat() and no
remaining-space check.
Switch the aggregation loops to a bounded append helper and
reject enumeration packages whose combined strings do not fit
in the destination buffers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: terminate the cached volume label after UTF-8 conversion
ntfs_fill_super() loads the on-disk volume label with utf16s_to_utf8s()
and stores the result in sbi->volume.label. The converted label is later
exposed through ntfs3_label_show() using %s, but utf16s_to_utf8s() only
returns the number of bytes written and does not add a trailing NUL.
If the converted label fills the entire fixed buffer,
ntfs3_label_show() can read past the end of sbi->volume.label while
looking for a terminator.
Terminate the cached label explicitly after a successful conversion and
clamp the exact-full case to the last byte of the buffer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
greybus: raw: fix use-after-free if write is called after disconnect
If a user writes to the chardev after disconnect has been called, the
kernel panics with the following trace (with
CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y):
BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000218

Disconnect calls gb_connection_destroy, which ends up freeing the
connection object. When gb_operation_sync is called in the write file
operations, its gets a freed connection as parameter and the kernel
panics.
The gb_connection_destroy cannot be moved out of the disconnect
function, as the Greybus subsystem expect all connections belonging to a
bundle to be destroyed when disconnect returns.
To prevent this bug, use a rw lock to synchronize access between write
and disconnect. This guarantees that the write function doesn't try
to use a disconnected connection.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
greybus: raw: fix use-after-free on cdev close
This addresses a use-after-free bug when a raw bundle is disconnected
but its chardev is still opened by an application. When the application
releases the cdev, it causes the following panic when init on free is
enabled (CONFIG_INIT_ON_FREE_DEFAULT_ON=y):
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 139 at lib/refcount.c:28 refcount_warn_saturate+0xd0/0x130
...
Call Trace:

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f
The cdev is contained in the "gb_raw" structure, which is freed in the
disconnect operation. When the cdev is released at a later time,
cdev_put gets an address that points to freed memory.
To fix this use-after-free, convert the struct device from a pointer to
being embedded, that makes the lifetime of the cdev and of this device
the same. Then, use cdev_device_add, which guarantees that the device
won't be released until all references to the cdev have been released.
Finally, delegate the freeing of the structure to the device release
function, instead of freeing immediately in the disconnect callback.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: fix double-free of tx_buf skb
If ice_tso() or ice_tx_csum() fail, the error path in
ice_xmit_frame_ring() frees the skb, but the 'first' tx_buf still points
to it and is marked as valid (ICE_TX_BUF_SKB).
'next_to_use' remains unchanged, so the potential problem will
likely fix itself when the next packet is transmitted and the tx_buf
gets overwritten. But if there is no next packet and the interface is
brought down instead, ice_clean_tx_ring() -> ice_unmap_and_free_tx_buf()
will find the tx_buf and free the skb for the second time.
The fix is to reset the tx_buf type to ICE_TX_BUF_EMPTY in the error
path, so that ice_unmap_and_free_tx_buf().
Move the initialization of 'first' up, to ensure it's already valid in
case we hit the linearization error path.
The bug was spotted by AI while I had it looking for something else.
It also proposed an initial version of the patch.
I reproduced the bug and tested the fix by adding code to inject
failures, on a build with KASAN.
I looked for similar bugs in related Intel drivers and did not find any.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: taprio: fix use-after-free in advance_sched() on schedule switch
In advance_sched(), when should_change_schedules() returns true,
switch_schedules() is called to promote the admin schedule to oper.
switch_schedules() queues the old oper schedule for RCU freeing via
call_rcu(), but 'next' still points into an entry of the old oper
schedule. The subsequent 'next->end_time = end_time' and
rcu_assign_pointer(q->current_entry, next) are use-after-free.
Fix this by selecting 'next' from the new oper schedule immediately
after switch_schedules(), and using its pre-calculated end_time.
setup_first_end_time() sets the first entry's end_time to
base_time + interval when the schedule is installed, so the value
is already correct.
The deleted 'end_time = sched_base_time(admin)' assignment was also
harmful independently: it would overwrite the new first entry's
pre-calculated end_time with just base_time.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nexthop: fix IPv6 route referencing IPv4 nexthop
syzbot reported a panic [1] [2].
When an IPv6 nexthop is replaced with an IPv4 nexthop, the has_v4 flag
of all groups containing this nexthop is not updated. This is because
nh_group_v4_update is only called when replacing AF_INET to AF_INET6,
but the reverse direction (AF_INET6 to AF_INET) is missed.
This allows a stale has_v4=false to bypass fib6_check_nexthop, causing
IPv6 routes to be attached to groups that effectively contain only AF_INET
members. Subsequent route lookups then call nexthop_fib6_nh() which
returns NULL for the AF_INET member, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference.
Fix by calling nh_group_v4_update whenever the family changes, not just
AF_INET to AF_INET6.
Reproducer:
# AF_INET6 blackhole
ip -6 nexthop add id 1 blackhole
# group with has_v4=false
ip nexthop add id 100 group 1
# replace with AF_INET (no -6), has_v4 stays false
ip nexthop replace id 1 blackhole
# pass stale has_v4 check
ip -6 route add 2001:db8::/64 nhid 100
# panic
ping -6 2001:db8::1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: unify lcn as u64 for 32-bit platforms
As sashiko reported [1], `lcn` was typed as `unsigned long` (or
`unsigned int` sometimes), which is only 32 bits wide on 32-bit
platforms, which causes `(lcn << lclusterbits)` to be truncated
at 4 GiB.
In order to consolidate the logic, just use `u64` consistently
around the codebase.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: ccp - copy IV using skcipher ivsize
AF_ALG rfc3686-ctr-aes-ccp requests pass an 8-byte IV to the driver.
ccp_aes_complete() restores AES_BLOCK_SIZE bytes into the caller's IV
buffer while RFC3686 skciphers expose an 8-byte IV, so the restore
overruns the provided buffer.
Use crypto_skcipher_ivsize() to copy only the algorithm's IV length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nat: use kfree_rcu to release ops
Florian Westphal says:
"Historically this is not an issue, even for normal base hooks: the data
path doesn't use the original nf_hook_ops that are used to register the
callbacks.
However, in v5.14 I added the ability to dump the active netfilter
hooks from userspace.
This code will peek back into the nf_hook_ops that are available
at the tail of the pointer-array blob used by the datapath.
The nat hooks are special, because they are called indirectly from
the central nat dispatcher hook. They are currently invisible to
the nfnl hook dump subsystem though.
But once that changes the nat ops structures have to be deferred too."
Update nf_nat_register_fn() to deal with partial exposition of the hooks
from error path which can be also an issue for nfnetlink_hook.
