Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.15.3 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: remove redundant netdev_lock_ops() from conduit ethtool ops
DSA replaces the conduit (master) device's ethtool_ops with its own
wrappers that aggregate stats from both the conduit and DSA switch
ports. Taking the lock again inside the DSA wrappers causes a deadlock.
Stumbled upon this when booting qemu with fbnic and CONFIG_NET_DSA_LOOP=y
(which looks like some kind of testing device that auto-populates the ports
of eth0). `ethtool -i` is enough to deadlock. This means we have basically zero
coverage for DSA stuff with real ops locked devs.
Remove the redundant netdev_lock_ops()/netdev_unlock_ops() calls from
the DSA conduit ethtool wrappers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Use pci_name() for debugfs directory naming
Use pci_name(pdev) for the per-device debugfs directory instead of
hardcoded "0" for PFs and pci_slot_name(pdev->slot) for VFs. The
previous approach had two issues:
1. pci_slot_name() dereferences pdev->slot, which can be NULL for VFs
in environments like generic VFIO passthrough or nested KVM,
causing a NULL pointer dereference.
2. Multiple PFs would all use "0", and VFs across different PCI
domains or buses could share the same slot name, leading to
-EEXIST errors from debugfs_create_dir().
pci_name(pdev) returns the unique BDF address, is always valid, and is
unique across the system.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: pinconf-generic: Fully validate 'pinmux' property
The pinconf_generic_parse_dt_pinmux() assumes that the 'pinmux' property
is not empty when present. This might be not true. With that, the allocator
will give a special value in return and not NULL which lead to the crash
when trying to access that (invalid) memory. Fix that by fully validating
'pinmux' value, including its length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
power: supply: max77705: Free allocated workqueue and fix removal order
Use devm interface for allocating workqueue to fix two bugs at the same
time:
1. Driver leaks the memory on remove(), because the workqueue is not
destroyed.
2. Driver allocates workqueue and then registers interrupt handlers
with devm interface. This means that probe error paths will not use a
reversed order, but first destroy the workqueue and then, via devm
release handlers, free the interrupt.
The interrupt handler schedules work on this exact workqueue, thus if
interrupt is hit in this short time window - after destroying
workqueue, but before devm() frees the interrupt - the schedulled
work will lead to use of freed memory.
Change is not equivalent in the workqueue itself: use non-legacy API
which does not set (__WQ_LEGACY | WQ_MEM_RECLAIM). The workqueue is
used to update power supply (power_supply_changed()) status, thus there
is no point to run it for memory reclaim. Note that dev_name() is not
directly used in second argument to prevent possible unlikely parsing
any "%" character in device name as format.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2/dlm: fix off-by-one in dlm_match_regions() region comparison
The local-vs-remote region comparison loop uses '<=' instead of '<',
causing it to read one entry past the valid range of qr_regions. The
other loops in the same function correctly use '<'.
Fix the loop condition to use '<' for consistency and correctness.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/riscv: Remove overflows on the invalidation path
Since RISC-V supports a sign extended page table it should support
a gather->end of ULONG_MAX, but if this happens it will infinite loop
because of the overflow.
Also avoid overflow computing the length by moving the +1 to the other
side of the <

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Avoid NULL dereference in dc_dmub_srv error paths
In dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data() and
dc_dmub_srv_enable_dpia_trace().
Both functions check:
if (!dc_dmub_srv || !dc_dmub_srv->dmub)
and then call DC_LOG_ERROR() inside that block.
DC_LOG_ERROR() uses dc_dmub_srv->ctx internally. So if
dc_dmub_srv is NULL, the logging itself can dereference a
NULL pointer and cause a crash.
Fix this by splitting the checks.
First check if dc_dmub_srv is NULL and return immediately.
Then check dc_dmub_srv->dmub and log the error only when
dc_dmub_srv is valid.
Fixes the below:
../display/dc/dc_dmub_srv.c:962 dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data() error: we previously assumed 'dc_dmub_srv' could be null (see line 961)
../display/dc/dc_dmub_srv.c:1167 dc_dmub_srv_enable_dpia_trace() error: we previously assumed 'dc_dmub_srv' could be null (see line 1166)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
padata: Put CPU offline callback in ONLINE section to allow failure
syzbot reported the following warning:
DEAD callback error for CPU1
WARNING: kernel/cpu.c:1463 at _cpu_down+0x759/0x1020 kernel/cpu.c:1463, CPU#0: syz.0.1960/14614
at commit 4ae12d8bd9a8 ("Merge tag 'kbuild-fixes-7.0-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kbuild/linux")
which tglx traced to padata_cpu_dead() given it's the only
sub-CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU callback that returns an error.
Failure isn't allowed in hotplug states before CPUHP_TEARDOWN_CPU
so move the CPU offline callback to the ONLINE section where failure is
possible.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: airoha: Move ndesc initialization at end of airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue()
If queue entry or DMA descriptor list allocation fails in
airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue routine, airoha_qdma_cleanup() will trigger a
NULL pointer dereference running netif_napi_del() for RX queue NAPIs
since netif_napi_add() has never been executed to this particular RX NAPI.
The issue is due to the early ndesc initialization in
airoha_qdma_init_rx_queue() since airoha_qdma_cleanup() relies on ndesc
value to check if the queue is properly initialized. Fix the issue moving
ndesc initialization at end of airoha_qdma_init_tx routine.
Move page_pool allocation after descriptor list allocation in order to
avoid memory leaks if desc allocation fails.
