Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.11.2 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: zero-initialize GART table on allocation
GART TLB is flushed after unmapping but not after mapping. Since
amdgpu_bo_create_kernel() does not zero-initialize the buffer, when a
single PTE is written the TLB may speculatively load other uninitialized
entries from the same cacheline. Those garbage entries can appear valid,
and a subsequent write to another PTE in the same cacheline may cause the
GPU to use a stale garbage PTE from the TLB.
Fix this by calling memset_io() to zero-initialize the GART table with
gart_pte_flags immediately after allocation.
Using AMDGPU_GEM_CREATE_VRAM_CLEARED, SDMA-based clear will not work
since SDMA needs GART to be initialized to work.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: always recover the gpu
Previously, in case there was no more work to do, recover worker
wouldn't trigger recovery and would instead rely on the gpu going to
sleep and then resuming when more work is submitted.
Recover_worker will first increment the fence of the hung ring so, if
there's only one job submitted to a ring and that causes an hang, it
will early out.
There's no guarantee that the gpu will suspend and resume before more
work is submitted and if the gpu is in a hung state it will stay in that
state and probably trigger a timeout again.
Just stop checking and always recover the gpu.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: reject descriptors with oversized CRC length
udf_read_tagged() skips CRC verification when descCRCLength +
sizeof(struct tag) exceeds the block size. A crafted UDF image can
set descCRCLength to an oversized value to bypass CRC validation
entirely; the descriptor is then accepted based solely on the 8-bit
tag checksum, which is trivially recomputable.
Reject such descriptors instead of silently accepting them. A
legitimate single-block descriptor should never have a CRC length that
exceeds the block.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix fsck inconsistency caused by incorrect nat_entry flag usage
f2fs_need_dentry_mark() reads nat_entry flags without mutual exclusion
with the checkpoint path, which can result in an incorrect inode block
marking state. The scenario is as follows:
create & write & fsync 'file A' write checkpoint
- f2fs_do_sync_file // inline inode
- f2fs_write_inode // inode folio is dirty
- f2fs_write_checkpoint
- f2fs_flush_merged_writes
- f2fs_sync_node_pages
- f2fs_fsync_node_pages // no dirty node
- f2fs_need_inode_block_update // return true
- f2fs_fsync_node_pages // inode dirtied
- f2fs_need_dentry_mark //return true
- f2fs_flush_nat_entries
- f2fs_write_checkpoint end
- __write_node_folio // inode with DENT_BIT_SHIFT set
SPO, "fsck --dry-run" find inode has already checkpointed but still
with DENT_BIT_SHIFT set
The state observed by f2fs_need_dentry_mark() can differ from the state
observed in __write_node_folio() after acquiring sbi->node_write. The
root cause is that the semantics of IS_CHECKPOINTED and
HAS_FSYNCED_INODE are only guaranteed after the checkpoint write has
fully completed.
This patch moves set_dentry_mark() into __write_node_folio() and
protects it with the sbi->node_write lock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: account for fraggap on the paged allocation path
In __ip_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken,
alloclen and pagedlen are computed as
alloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen;
pagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen;
datalen already includes fraggap, but the fraggap bytes carried over
from the previous skb are copied into the new skb's linear area at
offset transhdrlen by the subsequent skb_copy_and_csum_bits(). The
linear area is therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is
overstated by the same amount.
The non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts
for fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by
adding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen.
After this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the
paged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock/virtio: fix zerocopy completion for multi-skb sends
When a large message is fragmented into multiple skbs, the zerocopy
uarg is only allocated and attached to the last skb in the loop.
Non-final skbs carry pinned user pages with no completion tracking,
so the kernel has no way to notify userspace when those pages are safe
to reuse. If the loop breaks early the uarg is never allocated at all,
leaking pinned pages with no completion notification.
Fix this by following the approach used by TCP: allocate the zerocopy
uarg (if not provided by the caller) before the send loop and attach
it to every skb via skb_zcopy_set(), which takes a reference per skb.
Each skb's completion properly decrements the refcount, and the
notification only fires after the last skb is freed.
On failure, if no data was sent, the uarg is cleanly aborted via
net_zcopy_put_abort().
This issue was initially discovered by sashiko while reviewing commit
1cb36e252211 ("vsock/virtio: fix MSG_ZEROCOPY pinned-pages accounting")
but was pre-existing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Set gc_in_progress to true in unix_gc().
Igor Ushakov reported that unix_gc() could run with gc_in_progress
being false if the work is scheduled while running:
Thread 1 Thread 2 Thread 3
-------- -------- --------
unix_schedule_gc() unix_schedule_gc()
`- if (!gc_in_progress) `- if (!gc_in_progress)
|- gc_in_progress = true |
`- queue_work() |
unix_gc() <----------------/ |
| |- gc_in_progress = true
... `- queue_work()
| |
`- gc_in_progress = false |
|
unix_gc() <---------------------------------------------'
|
... /* gc_in_progress == false */
|
`- gc_in_progress = false
unix_peek_fpl() relies on gc_in_progress not to confuse GC
by MSG_PEEK.
Let's set gc_in_progress to true in unix_gc().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: account for fraggap on the paged allocation path
In __ip6_append_data(), when the paged-allocation branch is taken
(MSG_MORE / NETIF_F_SG / large fraglen), alloclen and pagedlen are
computed as
alloclen = fragheaderlen + transhdrlen;
pagedlen = datalen - transhdrlen;
datalen already includes fraggap (datalen = length + fraggap). When
fraggap is non-zero, this is not the first skb and transhdrlen is zero.
The fraggap bytes carried over from the previous skb are copied just past
the fragment headers in the new skb's linear area. The linear area is
therefore undersized by fraggap bytes while pagedlen is overstated by the
same amount, and the copy writes past skb->end into the trailing
skb_shared_info.
An unprivileged user can trigger this via a UDPv6 socket using
MSG_MORE together with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES.
The bad accounting was introduced by commit 773ba4fe9104 ("ipv6:
avoid partial copy for zc"). Before commit ce650a166335 ("udp6: Fix
__ip6_append_data()'s handling of MSG_SPLICE_PAGES"), the negative
copy value caused -EINVAL to be returned. That later commit allowed
MSG_SPLICE_PAGES to proceed in this case, making the corruption
triggerable.
The non-paged branch sets alloclen to fraglen, which already accounts
for fraggap because datalen does. Bring the paged branch in line by
adding fraggap to alloclen and subtracting it from pagedlen.
After this adjustment, copy no longer collapses to -fraggap on the
paged path, so remove the stale comment describing that old arithmetic.
Since a negative copy is no longer expected for a valid MSG_SPLICE_PAGES
case, remove the MSG_SPLICE_PAGES exception from the negative copy check.
