Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.19 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: wpcm-fiu: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in wpcm_fiu_probe()
platform_get_resource_byname() can return NULL, which would cause a crash
when passed the pointer to resource_size().
Move the fiu->memory_size assignment after the error check for
devm_ioremap_resource() to prevent the potential NULL pointer dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl_xcvr: Revert fix missing lock in fsl_xcvr_mode_put()
This reverts commit f51424872760 ("ASoC: fsl_xcvr: fix missing lock in fsl_xcvr_mode_put()").
The original patch attempted to acquire the card->controls_rwsem lock in
fsl_xcvr_mode_put(). However, this function is called from the upper ALSA
core function snd_ctl_elem_write(), which already holds the write lock on
controls_rwsem for the whole put operation. So there is no need to simply
hold the lock for fsl_xcvr_activate_ctl() again.
Acquiring the read lock while holding the write lock in the same thread
results in a deadlock and a hung task, as reported by Alexander Stein.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix out-of-bounds stream encoder index v3
eng_id can be negative and that stream_enc_regs[]
can be indexed out of bounds.
eng_id is used directly as an index into stream_enc_regs[], which has
only 5 entries. When eng_id is 5 (ENGINE_ID_DIGF) or negative, this can
access memory past the end of the array.
Add a bounds check using ARRAY_SIZE() before using eng_id as an index.
The unsigned cast also rejects negative values.
This avoids out-of-bounds access.
Fixes the below smatch error:
dcn*_resource.c: stream_encoder_create() may index
stream_enc_regs[eng_id] out of bounds (size 5).
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/resource/dcn351/dcn351_resource.c

1256 /* Mapping of VPG, AFMT, DME register blocks to DIO block instance */
1257 if (eng_id <= ENGINE_ID_DIGF) {

Unrelated but, ugh, why is Smatch saying that "eng_id" can be negative?
end_id is type signed long, but there are checks in the caller which prevent it from being negative.
1258 vpg_inst = eng_id;
1259 afmt_inst = eng_id;

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This stream_enc_regs[] array has 5 elements so we are one element beyond the end of the array.

1287 return &enc1->base;

v2: use explicit bounds check as suggested by Roman/Dan; avoid unsigned int cast
v3: The compiler already knows how to compare the two values, so the
cast (int) is not needed. (Roman)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/pf: Fix sysfs initialization
In case of devm_add_action_or_reset() failure the provided cleanup
action will be run immediately on the not yet initialized kobject.
This may lead to errors like:
[ ] kobject: '(null)' (ff110001393608e0): is not initialized, yet kobject_put() is being called.

Fix that by calling kobject_init() and kobject_add() separately
and register cleanup action after the kobject is initialized.
Also make this cleanup registration a part of the create helper to
fix another mistake, as in the loop we were wrongly passing parent
kobject while registering cleanup action, and this resulted in some
undetected leaks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pstore/ram: fix buffer overflow in persistent_ram_save_old()
persistent_ram_save_old() can be called multiple times for the same
persistent_ram_zone (e.g., via ramoops_pstore_read -> ramoops_get_next_prz
for PSTORE_TYPE_DMESG records).
Currently, the function only allocates prz->old_log when it is NULL,
but it unconditionally updates prz->old_log_size to the current buffer
size and then performs memcpy_fromio() using this new size. If the
buffer size has grown since the first allocation (which can happen
across different kernel boot cycles), this leads to:
1. A heap buffer overflow (OOB write) in the memcpy_fromio() calls
2. A subsequent OOB read when ramoops_pstore_read() accesses the buffer
using the incorrect (larger) old_log_size
The KASAN splat would look similar to:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ramoops_pstore_read+0x...
Read of size N at addr ... by task ...
The conditions are likely extremely hard to hit:
0. Crash with a ramoops write of less-than-record-max-size bytes.
1. Reboot: ramoops registers, pstore_get_records(0) reads old crash,
allocates old_log with size X
2. Crash handler registered, timer started (if pstore_update_ms >= 0)
3. Oops happens (non-fatal, system continues)
4. pstore_dump() writes oops via ramoops_pstore_write() size Y (>X)
5. pstore_new_entry = 1, pstore_timer_kick() called
6. System continues running (not a panic oops)
7. Timer fires after pstore_update_ms milliseconds
8. pstore_timefunc() → schedule_work() → pstore_dowork() → pstore_get_records(1)
9. ramoops_get_next_prz() → persistent_ram_save_old()
10. buffer_size() returns Y, but old_log is X bytes
11. Y > X: memcpy_fromio() overflows heap
Requirements:
- a prior crash record exists that did not fill the record size
(almost impossible since the crash handler writes as much as it
can possibly fit into the record, capped by max record size and
the kmsg buffer almost always exceeds the max record size)
- pstore_update_ms >= 0 (disabled by default)
- Non-fatal oops (system survives)
Free and reallocate the buffer when the new size differs from the
previously allocated size. This ensures old_log always has sufficient
space for the data being copied.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
AppArmor: Allow apparmor to handle unaligned dfa tables
The dfa tables can originate from kernel or userspace and 8-byte alignment
isn't always guaranteed and as such may trigger unaligned memory accesses
on various architectures. Resulting in the following

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: fsl-edma: don't explicitly disable clocks in .remove()
The clocks in fsl_edma_engine::muxclk are allocated and enabled with
devm_clk_get_enabled(), which automatically cleans these resources up,
but these clocks are also manually disabled in fsl_edma_remove(). This
causes warnings on driver removal for each clock:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS/localio: prevent direct reclaim recursion into NFS via nfs_writepages
LOCALIO is an NFS loopback mount optimization that avoids using the
network for READ, WRITE and COMMIT if the NFS client and server are
determined to be on the same system. But because LOCALIO is still
fundamentally "just NFS loopback mount" it is susceptible to recursion
deadlock via direct reclaim, e.g.: NFS LOCALIO down to XFS and then
back into NFS via nfs_writepages.
Fix LOCALIO's potential for direct reclaim deadlock by ensuring that
all its page cache allocations are done from GFP_NOFS context.
Thanks to Ben Coddington for pointing out commit ad22c7a043c2 ("xfs:
prevent stack overflows from page cache allocation").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clocksource/drivers/timer-sp804: Fix an Oops when read_current_timer is called on ARM32 platforms where the SP804 is not registered as the sched_clock.
On SP804, the delay timer shares the same clkevt instance with
sched_clock. On some platforms, when
sp804_clocksource_and_sched_clock_init is called with use_sched_clock
not set to 1, sched_clkevt is not properly initialized. However,
sp804_register_delay_timer is invoked unconditionally, and
read_current_timer() subsequently calls sp804_read on an uninitialized
sched_clkevt, leading to a kernel Oops when accessing
sched_clkevt->value.
Declare a dedicated clkevt instance exclusively for delay timer,
instead of sharing the same clkevt with sched_clock. This ensures
that read_current_timer continues to work correctly regardless of
whether SP804 is selected as the sched_clock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: cdev: Avoid NULL dereference in linehandle_create()
In linehandle_create(), there is a statement like this:
retain_and_null_ptr(lh);
Soon after, there is a debug printout that dereferences "lh", which
will crash things.
Avoid the crash by using handlereq.lines, which is the same value.
