Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 3.14.31 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
batman-adv: fix fragment reassembly length accounting
batman-adv keeps a running payload length for queued fragments and uses it
to validate a fragment chain before reassembly.
That accounting currently allows the accumulated fragment length to be
truncated during updates. As a result, malformed fragment chains can
bypass the intended validation and drive reassembly with inconsistent
length state, leading to a local denial of service.
Fix the accounting by storing the accumulated length in a length-typed
field and rejecting update overflows before the existing validation logic
runs.
The fix was verified against the original reproducer and against valid
fragment reassembly paths.

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:
batman-adv: frag: disallow unicast fragment in fragment
batadv_frag_skb_buffer() is called by batadv_batman_skb_recv() when a
BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet is received. Once all fragments are collected
and the packet is reassembled, batadv_recv_frag_packet() calls
batadv_batman_skb_recv() again to process the defragmented payload.
A malicious sender can craft a BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet whose reassembled
payload is itself a BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packet (matryoshka-style nesting).
Each nesting level recurses through batadv_batman_skb_recv() without bound,
growing the kernel stack until it is exhausted.
Since refragmentation or fragments in fragments are not actually allowed,
discard all packets which are still BATADV_UNICAST_FRAG packets after the
defragmentation process.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: videobuf2: Set vma_flags in vb2_dma_sg_mmap
vb2_dma_contig sets VMA flags VM_DONTEXPAND and VM_DONTDUMP and I do not
see a reason why vb2_dma_sg should behave differently. This avoids
hitting `WARN_ON(!(vma->vm_flags & VM_DONTEXPAND));` in
drm_gem_mmap_obj() during mmap() of an imported dma-buf from the out of
tree Apple ISP camera capture driver which uses vb2_dma_sg_memops.

wifi: ath5k: do not access array OOB
Vincent reports:

> UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/base.c:1741:20

> tasklet_action_common+0xb5/0x1c0
It is real. 'ts->ts_final_idx' can be 3 on 5212, so:
info->status.rates[ts->ts_final_idx + 1].idx = -1;
with the array defined as:
struct ieee80211_tx_rate rates[IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES];
while the size is:
#define IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES 4
is indeed bogus.
Set this 'idx = -1' sentinel only if the array index is less than the
array size. As mac80211 will not look at rates beyond the size
(IEEE80211_TX_MAX_RATES).
Note: The effect of the OOB write is negligible. It just overwrites the
next member of info->status, i.e. ack_signal.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
selinux: allow multiple opens of /sys/fs/selinux/policy
Currently there can only be a single open of /sys/fs/selinux/policy at
any time. This allows any process to block any other process from
reading the kernel policy. The original motivation seems to have been
a mix of preventing an inconsistent view of the policy size and
preventing userspace from allocating kernel memory without bound, but
this is arguably equally bad. Eliminate the policy_opened flag and
shrink the critical section that the policy mutex is held. While we
are making changes here, drop a couple of extraneous BUG_ONs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
isofs: validate Rock Ridge CE continuation extent against volume size
rock_continue() reads rs->cont_extent verbatim from the Rock Ridge CE
record and passes it to sb_bread() without checking that the block
number is within the mounted ISO 9660 volume. commit e595447e177b
("[PATCH] rock.c: handle corrupted directories") added cont_offset
and cont_size rejection for the CE continuation but did not validate
the extent block number itself. commit f54e18f1b831 ("isofs: Fix
infinite looping over CE entries") later capped the CE chain length
at RR_MAX_CE_ENTRIES = 32 but again left the block number unchecked.
With a crafted ISO mounted via udisks2 (desktop optical auto-mount)
or via CAP_SYS_ADMIN mount, rs->cont_extent can therefore point at
an out-of-range block or at blocks belonging to an adjacent
filesystem on the same block device. sb_bread() on an out-of-range
block returns NULL cleanly via the block layer EIO path, so there
is no memory-safety violation. For in-range reads of adjacent-
filesystem data, the CE buffer is parsed as Rock Ridge records and
only the text of SL sub-records reaches userspace through
readlink(), which makes the info-leak channel narrow and difficult
to exploit; still, rejecting the malformed CE outright matches the
rejection shape already present in the same function for
cont_offset and cont_size.
Add an ISOFS_SB(sb)->s_nzones bounds check to rock_continue() next
to the existing offset/size rejection, printing the same
corrupted-directory-entry notice.
