Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 4.19.279 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: renesas_usbhs: fix use-after-free in ISR during device removal
In usbhs_remove(), the driver frees resources (including the pipe array)
while the interrupt handler (usbhs_interrupt) is still registered. If an
interrupt fires after usbhs_pipe_remove() but before the driver is fully
unbound, the ISR may access freed memory, causing a use-after-free.
Fix this by calling devm_free_irq() before freeing resources. This ensures
the interrupt handler is both disabled and synchronized (waits for any
running ISR to complete) before usbhs_pipe_remove() is called.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: class: cdc-wdm: fix reordering issue in read code path
Quoting the bug report:
Due to compiler optimization or CPU out-of-order execution, the
desc->length update can be reordered before the memmove. If this
happens, wdm_read() can see the new length and call copy_to_user() on
uninitialized memory. This also violates LKMM data race rules [1].
Fix it by using WRITE_ONCE and memory barriers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: core: Limit the length of unkillable synchronous timeouts
The usb_control_msg(), usb_bulk_msg(), and usb_interrupt_msg() APIs in
usbcore allow unlimited timeout durations. And since they use
uninterruptible waits, this leaves open the possibility of hanging a
task for an indefinitely long time, with no way to kill it short of
unplugging the target device.
To prevent this sort of problem, enforce a maximum limit on the length
of these unkillable timeouts. The limit chosen here, somewhat
arbitrarily, is 60 seconds. On many systems (although not all) this
is short enough to avoid triggering the kernel's hung-task detector.
In addition, clear up the ambiguity of negative timeout values by
treating them the same as 0, i.e., using the maximum allowed timeout.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hisi_sas: Fix NULL pointer exception during user_scan()
user_scan() invokes updated sas_user_scan() for channel 0, and if
successful, iteratively scans remaining channels (1 to shost->max_channel)
via scsi_scan_host_selected() in commit 37c4e72b0651 ("scsi: Fix
sas_user_scan() to handle wildcard and multi-channel scans"). However,
hisi_sas supports only one channel, and the current value of max_channel is
1. sas_user_scan() for channel 1 will trigger the following NULL pointer
exception:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain
It may happen that mm is already released, which leads to kernel panic.
This adds the NULL check for current->mm, similarly to
commit 20afc60f892d ("x86, perf: Check that current->mm is alive before getting user callchain").
I was getting this panic when running a profiling BPF program
(profile.py from bcc-tools):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libceph: Fix potential out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
This patch fixes an out-of-bounds access in ceph_handle_auth_reply()
that can be triggered by a message of type CEPH_MSG_AUTH_REPLY. In
ceph_handle_auth_reply(), the value of the payload_len field of such a
message is stored in a variable of type int. A value greater than
INT_MAX leads to an integer overflow and is interpreted as a negative
value. This leads to decrementing the pointer address by this value and
subsequently accessing it because ceph_decode_need() only checks that
the memory access does not exceed the end address of the allocation.
This patch fixes the issue by changing the data type of payload_len to
u32. Additionally, the data type of result_msg_len is changed to u32,
as it is also a variable holding a non-negative length.
Also, an additional layer of sanity checks is introduced, ensuring that
directly after reading it from the message, payload_len and
result_msg_len are not greater than the overall segment length.
