Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.3.14 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tun: free page on build_skb failure in tun_xdp_one()
When build_skb() fails in tun_xdp_one(), the function sets ret to
-ENOMEM and jumps to the out label, which returns without freeing the
page that vhost_net_build_xdp() allocated for the frame. As with the
short-frame rejection path, tun_sendmsg() discards the per-buffer error
and still returns total_len, so vhost_tx_batch() takes the success path
and never frees the page. Each build_skb() failure in a batch leaks one
page-frag chunk.
Free the page before taking the error path, matching the put_page() the
other error exits of tun_xdp_one() already perform.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap
vb2_dma_contig sets VMA flags VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP and I do not
see a reason why vb2_dma_sg should behave differently. This avoids
hitting `WARN_ON(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_DONTEXPAND));` in
drm_gem_mmap_obj() during mmap() of an imported dma-buf from the out of
tree Apple ISP camera capture driver which uses vb2_dma_sg_memops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: avoid recursive nvmet-wq flush in nvmet_ctrl_free
nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() runs on nvmet-wq and can drop the
final controller reference through nvmet_cq_put(). If that triggers
nvmet_ctrl_free(), the teardown path flushes ctrl->async_event_work on
the same nvmet-wq.
Call chain:
nvmet_tcp_schedule_release_queue()
kref_put(&queue->kref, nvmet_tcp_release_queue)
nvmet_tcp_release_queue()
queue_work(nvmet_wq, &queue->release_work) <--- nvmet_wq

flush_work(&ctrl->async_event_work) <--- nvmet_wq
Previously Scheduled by :-
nvmet_add_async_event
queue_work(nvmet_wq, &ctrl->async_event_work);
This trips lockdep with a possible recursive locking warning.

> UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:1741:20

It is real. 'ts->ts_final_idx' can be 3 on 5212, so:
info->status.rates[ts->ts_final_idx + 1].idx = -1;
with the array defined as:
struct ieee80211_tx_rate rates[IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES];
while the size is:
#define IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES 4
is indeed bogus.
Set this 'idx = -1' sentinel only if the array index is less than the
array size. As mac80211 will not look at rates beyond the size
(IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES).
Note: The effect of the OOB write is negligible. It just overwrites the
next member of info->status, i.e. ack_signal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hfsplus: fix held lock freed on hfsplus_fill_super()
hfsplus_fill_super() calls hfs_find_init() to initialize a search
structure, which acquires tree->tree_lock. If the subsequent call to
hfsplus_cat_build_key() fails, the function jumps to the out_put_root
error label without releasing the lock. The later cleanup path then
frees the tree data structure with the lock still held, triggering a
held lock freed warning.
Fix this by adding the missing hfs_find_exit(&fd) call before jumping
to the out_put_root error label. This ensures that tree->tree_lock is
properly released on the error path.
The bug was originally detected on v6.13-rc1 using an experimental
static analysis tool we are developing, and we have verified that the
issue persists in the latest mainline kernel. The tool is specifically
designed to detect memory management issues. It is currently under active
development and not yet publicly available.
We confirmed the bug by runtime testing under QEMU with x86_64 defconfig,
lockdep enabled, and CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=y. To trigger the error path, we
used GDB to dynamically shrink the max_unistr_len parameter to 1 before
hfsplus_asc2uni() is called. This forces hfsplus_asc2uni() to naturally
return -ENAMETOOLONG, which propagates to hfsplus_cat_build_key() and
exercises the faulty error path. The following warning was observed
during mount:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extraneous BUG_ONs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pmdomain: core: Fix detach procedure for virtual devices in genpd
If a device is attached to a PM domain through genpd_dev_pm_attach_by_id(),
genpd calls pm_runtime_enable() for the corresponding virtual device that
it registers. While this avoids boilerplate code in drivers, there is no
corresponding call to pm_runtime_disable() in genpd_dev_pm_detach().
This means these virtual devices are typically detached from its genpd,
while runtime PM remains enabled for them, which is not how things are
designed to work. In worst cases it may lead to critical errors, like a
NULL pointer dereference bug in genpd_runtime_suspend(), which was recently
reported. For another case, we may end up keeping an unnecessary vote for a
performance state for the device.
To fix these problems, let's add this missing call to pm_runtime_disable()
in genpd_dev_pm_detach().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix zero-size GDS range init on RDNA4
RDNA4 (GFX 12) hardware removes the GDS, GWS, and OA on-chip memory
resources. The gfx_v12_0 initialisation code correctly leaves
adev->gds.gds_size, adev->gds.gws_size, and adev->gds.oa_size at
zero to reflect this.
amdgpu_ttm_init() unconditionally calls amdgpu_ttm_init_on_chip() for
each of these resources regardless of size. When the size is zero,
amdgpu_ttm_init_on_chip() forwards the call to ttm_range_man_init(),
which calls drm_mm_init(mm, 0, 0). drm_mm_init() immediately fires
DRM_MM_BUG_ON(start + size <= start) -- trivially true when size is
zero -- crashing the kernel during modprobe of amdgpu on an RX 9070 XT.
Guard against this by returning 0 early from
amdgpu_ttm_init_on_chip() when size_in_page is zero. This skips TTM
resource manager registration for hardware resources that are absent,
without affecting any other GPU type.
DRM_MM_BUG_ON() only asserts if CONFIG_DRM_DEBUG_MM is enabled in
the kernel config. This is apparently rarely enabled as these chips
have been in the market for over a year and this issue was only reported
now.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vkms: Convert to DRM's vblank timer
Replace vkms' vblank timer with the DRM implementation. The DRM
code is identical in concept, but differs in implementation.
Vblank timers are covered in vblank helpers and initializer macros,
so remove the corresponding hrtimer in struct vkms_output. The
vblank timer calls vkms' custom timeout code via handle_vblank_timeout
in struct drm_crtc_helper_funcs.
