Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 7.0.3 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_ffa: Check for NULL FF-A ID table while driver registration
The bus match callback assumes that every FF-A driver provides an
id_table and dereferences it unconditionally. Enforce that contract at
registration time so a buggy client driver cannot crash the bus during
match.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kho: skip KHO for crash kernel
kho_fill_kimage() unconditionally populates the kimage with KHO
metadata for every kexec image type. When the image is a crash kernel,
this can be problematic as the crash kernel can run in a small reserved
region and the KHO scratch areas can sit outside it.
The crash kernel then faults during kho_memory_init() when it
tries phys_to_virt() on the KHO FDT address:
Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address xxxxxxxx
...
fdt_offset_ptr+...
fdt_check_node_offset_+...
fdt_first_property_offset+...
fdt_get_property_namelen_+...
fdt_getprop+...
kho_memory_init+...
mm_core_init+...
start_kernel+...
kho_locate_mem_hole() already skips KHO logic for KEXEC_TYPE_CRASH
images, but kho_fill_kimage() was missing the same guard. As
kho_fill_kimage() is the single point that populates image->kho.fdt
and image->kho.scratch, fixing it here is sufficient for both arm64
and x86 as the FDT and boot_params path are bailing out when these
fields are unset.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: sprd: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to check the dma.enabled flag before trying to release the DMA
channels also on late probe errors to avoid dereferencing an error
pointer (or attempting to release a channel a second time).
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommupt: Check for missing PAGE_SIZE in the pgsize_bitmap
Sashiko pointed out that the driver could drop PAGE_SIZE from the
pgsize_bitmap. That is technically allowed but nothing does it, and
such an iommu_domain would not be used with the DMA API today.
Still, it is against the design and it is trivial to fix up. Lift
the PT_WARN_ON to the if branch and just skip the fast path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: Handle unmap error when iommu_debug is enabled
Sashiko noticed a latent bug where the map error flow called iommu_unmap()
which calls iommu_debug_unmap_begin()/iommu_debug_unmap_end() however
since this is an error path the map flow never actually established the
original iommu_debug_map() it will malfunction.
Lift the unmap error handling into iommu_map_nosync() and reorder it so
the trace_map()/iommu_debug_map() records the partial mapping and then
immediately unmaps it. This avoid creating the unbalanced tracking and
provides saner tracing instead of a unmap unmatched to any map.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix iommu_map_sgtable() return value check and avoid WARN
Commit "iommu: return full error code from iommu_map_sg[_atomic]()"
changed iommu_map_sgtable() to return an ssize_t and negative values
in error cases, rather than a size_t and a zero.
Store the return value in the appropriate type and in case of error,
return it rather than WARNing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/adreno: Fix a reference leak in a6xx_gpu_init()
In a6xx_gpu_init(), node is obtained via of_parse_phandle().
While there was a manual of_node_put() at the end of the
common path, several early error returns would bypass this call,
resulting in a reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup handler to
release the reference when the variable goes out of scope.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix error path leaks in some WMI WOW calls
Fix two instances where we used to directly return the result of
ath11k_wmi_cmd_send(...). Because we did not check the return value, we
also did not free the skb in the error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs, afs: Fix write skipping in dir/link writepages
Fix netfs_write_single() and afs_single_writepages() to better handle a
write that would be skipped due to lock contention and WB_SYNC_NONE by
returning 1 from netfs_write_single() if it skipped and making
afs_single_writepages() skip also. If a skip occurs, the inode must be
re-marked as the VFS may have cleared the mark.
This is really only theoretical for directories in netfs_write_single() as
the only path to that is through afs_single_writepages() that takes the
->validate_lock around it, thereby serialising it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Fix partial invalidation of streaming-write folio
In netfs_invalidate_folio(), if the region of a partial invalidation
overlaps the front (but not all) of a dirty write cached in a streaming
write page (dirty, but not uptodate, with the dirty region tracked by a
netfs_folio struct), the function modifies the dirty region - but
incorrectly as it moves the region forward by setting the start to the
start, not the end, of the invalidation region.
Fix this by setting finfo->dirty_offset to the end of the invalidation
region (iend).
