Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.19.4 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in get_manuf_info()
get_manuf_info() reads le16_to_cpu(rom_desc->Size) bytes from the
device I2C EEPROM into a buffer allocated with kmalloc_obj(), which
is sizeof(struct edge_ti_manuf_descriptor) = 10 bytes.
The Size field comes from the device and is only validated (in
check_i2c_image()) to make sure the descriptor fits within
TI_MAX_I2C_SIZE (16384 bytes), not against the destination buffer size.
A malicious USB device can therefore set Size to any value up to 16377,
causing a heap overflow of up to 16367 bytes when plugged into a host
running this driver.
valid_csum() is called after read_rom() and also iterates
buffer[0..Size-1], compounding the out-of-bounds access.
Fix by rejecting descriptors with unexpected length before calling
read_rom().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/srp: bound SRP_RSP sense copy by the received length
srp_process_rsp() copies sense data from rsp->data + resp_data_len,
where resp_data_len is the full 32-bit value supplied by the SRP target
and is never checked against the number of bytes actually received
(wc->byte_len). The copy length is bounded to SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, so
at most 96 bytes are copied, but the source offset is not bounded.
A malicious or compromised SRP target on the InfiniBand/RoCE fabric that
the initiator has logged into can return an SRP_RSP with
SRP_RSP_FLAG_SNSVALID set and a large resp_data_len. The receive buffer
is allocated at the target-chosen max_ti_iu_len, so the source of the
sense copy lands past the bytes actually received; with resp_data_len
near 0xFFFFFFFF it is gigabytes past the buffer and the read faults.
Copy the sense data only if it has not been truncated, that is, only if
the response header, the response data, and the sense region fit within
the bytes actually received; otherwise drop the sense and log. The
in-tree iSER and NVMe-RDMA receive paths already bound their parse by
wc->byte_len; this brings ib_srp into line with them.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: io_ti: fix heap overflow in build_i2c_fw_hdr()
build_i2c_fw_hdr() allocates a fixed-size buffer of
(16*1024 - 512) + sizeof(struct ti_i2c_firmware_rec) bytes, then
copies le16_to_cpu(img_header->Length) bytes into it without
validating that Length fits within the available space after the
firmware record header.
img_header->Length is a __le16 from the firmware file and can be
up to 65535. check_fw_sanity() validates the total firmware size
but not img_header->Length specifically.
Fix by rejecting images where img_header->Length exceeds the
available destination space.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: require Ethernet MAC header before using eth_hdr()
`ip6t_eui64`, `xt_mac`, the `bitmap:ip,mac`, `hash:ip,mac`, and
`hash:mac` ipset types, and `nf_log_syslog` access `eth_hdr(skb)`
after either assuming that the skb is associated with an Ethernet
device or checking only that the `ETH_HLEN` bytes at
`skb_mac_header(skb)` lie between `skb->head` and `skb->data`.
Make these paths first verify that the skb is associated with an
Ethernet device, that the MAC header was set, and that it spans at
least a full Ethernet header before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hamradio: 6pack: fix uninit-value in sixpack_receive_buf
sixpack_receive_buf() does not properly skip bytes with TTY error flags.
The while loop iterates through the flags buffer but never advances the
data pointer (cp), and passes the original count (including error bytes)
to sixpack_decode(). This causes sixpack_decode() to process bytes that
should have been skipped due to TTY errors. The TTY layer does not
guarantee that cp[i] holds a meaningful value when fp[i] is set, so
passing those positions to sixpack_decode() results in KMSAN reporting
an uninit-value read.
Fix this by processing bytes one at a time, advancing cp on each
iteration, and only passing valid (non-error) bytes to sixpack_decode().
This matches the pattern used by slip_receive_buf() and
mkiss_receive_buf() for the same purpose.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: rtl8150: fix use-after-free in rtl8150_start_xmit()
syzbot reported a KASAN slab-use-after-free read in rtl8150_start_xmit()
when accessing skb->len for tx statistics after usb_submit_urb() has
been called:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in rtl8150_start_xmit+0x71f/0x760
drivers/net/usb/rtl8150.c:712
Read of size 4 at addr ffff88810eb7a930 by task kworker/0:4/5226
The URB completion handler write_bulk_callback() frees the skb via
dev_kfree_skb_irq(dev->tx_skb). The URB may complete on another CPU
in softirq context before usb_submit_urb() returns in the submitter,
so by the time the submitter reads skb->len the skb has already been
queued to the per-CPU completion_queue and freed by net_tx_action():
CPU A (xmit) CPU B (USB completion softirq)
------------ ------------------------------
dev->tx_skb = skb;
usb_submit_urb() --+
|-------> write_bulk_callback()
| dev_kfree_skb_irq(dev->tx_skb)
| net_tx_action()
| napi_skb_cache_put() <-- free
netdev->stats.tx_bytes |
+= skb->len; <-- UAF read
Fix it by caching skb->len before submitting the URB and using the
cached value when updating the tx_bytes counter.
The pre-existing tx_bytes semantics are preserved: the counter tracks
the original frame length (skb->len), not the ETH_ZLEN/USB-alignment
padded "count" value that is handed to the device. Changing that
would be a user-visible accounting change and is out of scope for
this UAF fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/fcntl: fix SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order in fasync signaling
A SOFTIRQ-safe to SOFTIRQ-unsafe lock order deadlock can occur in
send_sigio() and send_sigurg() when a process group receives a signal.
When FASYNC is configured for a process group (PIDTYPE_PGID), both
functions use read_lock(&tasklist_lock) to traverse the task list.
However, they are frequently called from softirq context:
- send_sigio() via input_inject_event -> kill_fasync
- send_sigurg() via tcp_check_urg -> sk_send_sigurg (NET_RX_SOFTIRQ)
The deadlock is caused by the rwlock writer fairness mechanism:
1. CPU 0 (process context) holds read_lock(&tasklist_lock) in do_wait().
2. CPU 1 (process context) attempts write_lock(&tasklist_lock) in
fork() or exit() and spins, which blocks all new readers.
3. CPU 0 is interrupted by a softirq (e.g., TCP URG packet reception).
4. The softirq calls send_sigurg() and attempts to acquire
read_lock(&tasklist_lock), deadlocking because CPU 1 is waiting.
Since PID hashing and do_each_pid_task() traversals are already
RCU-protected, the read_lock on tasklist_lock is no longer strictly
required for safe traversal. Fix this by replacing tasklist_lock with
rcu_read_lock(), aligning the process group signaling path with the
single-PID path. This also mitigates a potential remote denial of
service vector via TCP URG packets.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ip6t_hbh: reject oversized option lists
struct ip6t_opts stores at most IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR option descriptors,
but hbh_mt6_check() does not reject larger optsnr values supplied from
userspace.
Validate optsnr in the rule setup path so only match data that fits the
fixed-size opts array can be installed. This follows the existing xtables
pattern of rejecting invalid user-provided counts in checkentry() and
keeps the packet matching path unchanged.
`struct ip6t_opts` has a fixed `opts[IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR]` array,
where `IP6T_OPTS_OPTSNR` is 16, then off-by-one array access is possible:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: serialize accept_q access
bt_sock_poll() walks the accept queue without synchronization, while
child teardown can unlink the same socket and drop its last reference.
The unsynchronized accept queue walk has existed since the initial
Bluetooth import.
Protect accept_q with a dedicated lock for queue updates and polling.
Also rework bt_accept_dequeue() to take temporary child references under
the queue lock before dropping it and locking the child socket.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xt_policy: fix strict mode inbound policy matching
match_policy_in() walks sec_path entries from the last transform to the
first one, but strict policy matching needs to consume info->pol[] in
the same forward order as the rule layout.
Derive the strict-match policy position from the number of transforms
already consumed so that multi-element inbound rules are matched
consistently.
