Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.0.8 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: Fix hung when signal interrupts nbd_start_device_ioctl()
syzbot reported hung task [1]. The following program is a simplified
version of the reproducer:
int main(void)
{
int sv[2], fd;
if (socketpair(AF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0, sv) < 0)
return 1;
if ((fd = open("/dev/nbd0", 0)) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS, 0x81) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_SET_SOCK, sv[0]) < 0)
return 1;
if (ioctl(fd, NBD_DO_IT) < 0)
return 1;
return 0;
}
When signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl() waiting the condition
atomic_read(&config->recv_threads) == 0, the task can hung because it
waits the completion of the inflight IOs.
This patch fixes the issue by clearing queue, not just shutdown, when
signal interrupt nbd_start_device_ioctl().

This happens because sata_pmp_init_links() initialize link->pmp up to
SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS while em_priv is declared as 8 elements array.
I can't find the maximum Enclosure Management ports specified in AHCI
spec v1.3.1, but "12.2.1 LED message type" states that "Port Multiplier
Information" can utilize 4 bits, which implies it can support up to 16
ports. Hence, use SATA_PMP_MAX_PORTS as EM_MAX_SLOTS to resolve the
issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: tables: FPDT: Don't call acpi_os_map_memory() on invalid phys address
On a Packard Bell Dot SC (Intel Atom N2600 model) there is a FPDT table
which contains invalid physical addresses, with high bits set which fall
outside the range of the CPU-s supported physical address range.
Calling acpi_os_map_memory() on such an invalid phys address leads to
the below WARN_ON in ioremap triggering resulting in an oops/stacktrace.
Add code to verify the physical address before calling acpi_os_map_memory()
to fix / avoid the oops.

ext4: fix potential out of bound read in ext4_fc_replay_scan()
For scan loop must ensure that at least EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN space. If remain
space less than EXT4_FC_TAG_BASE_LEN which will lead to out of bound read
when mounting corrupt file system image.
ADD_RANGE/HEAD/TAIL is needed to add extra check when do journal scan, as this
three tags will read data during scan, tag length couldn't less than data length
which will read.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not BUG_ON() on ENOMEM when dropping extent items for a range
If we get -ENOMEM while dropping file extent items in a given range, at
btrfs_drop_extents(), due to failure to allocate memory when attempting to
increment the reference count for an extent or drop the reference count,
we handle it with a BUG_ON(). This is excessive, instead we can simply
abort the transaction and return the error to the caller. In fact most
callers of btrfs_drop_extents(), directly or indirectly, already abort
the transaction if btrfs_drop_extents() returns any error.
Also, we already have error paths at btrfs_drop_extents() that may return
-ENOMEM and in those cases we abort the transaction, like for example
anything that changes the b+tree may return -ENOMEM due to a failure to
allocate a new extent buffer when COWing an existing extent buffer, such
as a call to btrfs_duplicate_item() for example.
So replace the BUG_ON() calls with proper logic to abort the transaction
and return the error.

When CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK and CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is selected,
cpu_max_bits_warn() generates a runtime warning similar as below while

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix delayed allocation bug in ext4_clu_mapped for bigalloc + inline
When converting files with inline data to extents, delayed allocations
made on a file system created with both the bigalloc and inline options
can result in invalid extent status cache content, incorrect reserved
cluster counts, kernel memory leaks, and potential kernel panics.
With bigalloc, the code that determines whether a block must be
delayed allocated searches the extent tree to see if that block maps
to a previously allocated cluster. If not, the block is delayed
allocated, and otherwise, it isn't. However, if the inline option is
also used, and if the file containing the block is marked as able to
store data inline, there isn't a valid extent tree associated with
the file. The current code in ext4_clu_mapped() calls
ext4_find_extent() to search the non-existent tree for a previously
allocated cluster anyway, which typically finds nothing, as desired.
However, a side effect of the search can be to cache invalid content
from the non-existent tree (garbage) in the extent status tree,
including bogus entries in the pending reservation tree.
To fix this, avoid searching the extent tree when allocating blocks
for bigalloc + inline files that are being converted from inline to
extent mapped.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvbdev: adopts refcnt to avoid UAF
dvb_unregister_device() is known that prone to use-after-free.
That is, the cleanup from dvb_unregister_device() releases the dvb_device
even if there are pointers stored in file->private_data still refer to it.
This patch adds a reference counter into struct dvb_device and delays its
deallocation until no pointer refers to the object.

USB: uhci: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once.
