Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.10.247 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: serial: digi_acceleport: fix broken rx after throttle
If the port is closed while throttled, the read urb is never resubmitted
and the port will not receive any further data until the device is
reconnected (or the driver is rebound).
Clear the throttle flags and submit the urb if needed when opening the
port.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: mtu3: unmap request DMA on queue failure
mtu3_gadget_queue() maps the request before checking whether
the QMU GPD ring can accept another transfer. the request is
returned with -EAGAIN before it is linked on the endpoint
request list if mtu3_prepare_transfer() fails.
Normal completion and dequeue paths unmap requests from
mtu3_req_complete(), but this error path never reaches that
helper, so the DMA mapping is left active. Unmap the request
before returning from the failed queue path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: misc: uss720: unregister parport on probe failure
uss720_probe() registers a parport before reading the 1284 register used
to detect unsupported Belkin F5U002 adapters. If get_1284_register()
fails, the error path drops the driver private data and the USB device
reference, but leaves the parport device registered.
Leaving the port registered is more than a private allocation leak:
parport_register_port() has already reserved a parport number and
registered the parport bus device, while pp->private_data still points at
the private data that the common error path is about to release.
Undo the pre-announce registration in the get_1284_register() failure
branch before jumping to the common private-data cleanup path. Clear
priv->pp first, matching the disconnect path and avoiding a stale pointer
in the private data.
This issue was identified during our ongoing static-analysis research while
reviewing kernel code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: legousbtower: fix use-after-free on disconnect race
mutex_unlock() may access the mutex structure after releasing the lock
and therefore cannot be used to manage lifetime of objects directly
(unlike spinlocks and refcounts). [1][2]
Use a kref to release the driver data to avoid use-after-free in
mutex_unlock() when release() races with disconnect().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: ccg: Fix use-after-free of ucsi on remove
The threaded IRQ handler ccg_irq_handler() calls ucsi_notify_common(),
which on a connector-change event calls ucsi_connector_change() and
schedules connector work. In ucsi_ccg_remove(), ucsi_destroy() frees
uc->ucsi (kfree) before free_irq() is called, so a handler invocation
already in flight may access the freed object after ucsi_destroy().
CPU 0 (remove) | CPU 1 (threaded IRQ)
ucsi_destroy(uc->ucsi) | ccg_irq_handler()
kfree(ucsi) // FREE | ucsi_notify_common(uc->ucsi) // USE
Move free_irq() before ucsi_destroy() in the remove path. It is kept
after ucsi_unregister(): ucsi_unregister() cancels connector work whose
handler issues GET_CONNECTOR_STATUS through ucsi_send_command_common(),
which waits for a completion that is signalled from the IRQ handler, so
the IRQ must stay active until that work has been cancelled.
The probe error path already orders free_irq() before ucsi_destroy().
This bug was found by static analysis.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: Validate SVID index in svdm_consume_modes()
In svdm_consume_modes(), the SVID value is read from pmdata->svids using
pmdata->svid_index as an array index without bounds validation:
paltmode->svid = pmdata->svids[pmdata->svid_index];
If pmdata->svid_index is driven beyond SVID_DISCOVERY_MAX (16), it results
in an out-of-bounds read of the pmdata->svids array. Because pd_mode_data
is embedded inside struct tcpm_port, indexing past svids reads into
adjacent fields. In particular:
- At index 16, it reads the altmodes count.
- At index 18 and beyond, it reads into altmode_desc[], which contains
partner-supplied SVDM Discovery Modes VDOs.
By injecting a chosen SVID into altmode_desc[0].vdo and driving svid_index
to 20, the partner can force paltmode->svid to be loaded with an arbitrary,
partner- chosen SVID, which is then registered via
typec_partner_register_altmode().
Fix this by validating that pmdata->svid_index is non-negative and strictly
less than pmdata->nsvids before accessing the pmdata->svids array inside
svdm_consume_modes().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usbip: vudc: fix NULL deref in vep_dequeue()
vep_alloc_request() wasn't initializing vrequest->udc, so cancellations
on the FunctionFS AIO path were arriving in vep_dequeue without a valid
UDC reference.
Since vrequest->udc is never actually properly used anywhere, we opt to
remove it, and update vep_dequeue to obtain a reference to the udc with
ep_to_vudc(), consistent with the other vep_ ops.
AFAICT this bug has existed for ~10 years. Seems that nobody has really
stressed the FunctionFS AIO path on usbip's vudc.
I tested this fix in a QEMU aarch64 guest driving FunctionFS endpoints
via AIO. Before the fix, running `usbip attach` from the host would
cause the guest to oops with the following backtrace:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: ulpi: fix memory leak on registration failure
The allocated device name is never freed on early ULPI device
registration failures.
Fix this by initialising the device structure earlier and releasing the
initial reference whenever registration fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
partitions: aix: bound the pp_count scan to the ppe array
aix_partition() reads the physical volume descriptor into a fixed-size
struct pvd and then scans its physical-partition-extent array:
int numpps = be16_to_cpu(pvd->pp_count);
...
for (i = 0; i < numpps; i += 1) {
struct ppe *p = pvd->ppe + i;
...
lp_ix = be16_to_cpu(p->lp_ix);
pvd points at a single kmalloc()'d struct pvd whose ppe[] member holds a
fixed ARRAY_SIZE(pvd->ppe) (1016) entries, but the loop runs up to the
on-disk pp_count. pp_count is an unvalidated __be16 read straight from
the descriptor, so a crafted AIX image with pp_count larger than 1016
drives the loop to read pvd->ppe[i] past the end of the allocation (up
to 65535 entries, ~2 MB out of bounds).
The partition scan runs without mounting anything, when a block device
with a crafted AIX/IBM partition table appears (an attacker-supplied
image attached with losetup -P, or a device auto-scanned by udev), via
msdos_partition() -> aix_partition().
Clamp the scan to the number of entries the ppe[] array can hold.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: fix pre-auth out-of-bounds heap read in Discovery Get Log Page
nvmet_execute_disc_get_log_page() validates only the dword alignment
of the host-supplied Log Page Offset (lpo). The 64-bit offset is then
added to a small kzalloc'd buffer that holds the discovery log page
and the result is passed straight to nvmet_copy_to_sgl(), which
memcpy()s data_len bytes out to the host with no source-side bound
check:
u64 offset = nvmet_get_log_page_offset(req->cmd); /* 64-bit host */
size_t data_len = nvmet_get_log_page_len(req->cmd); /* 32-bit host */
...
if (offset & 0x3) { ... } /* only check */
...
alloc_len = sizeof(*hdr) + entry_size * discovery_log_entries(req);
buffer = kzalloc(alloc_len, GFP_KERNEL);
...
status = nvmet_copy_to_sgl(req, 0, buffer + offset, data_len);
The Discovery controller is unauthenticated -- nvmet_host_allowed()
returns true unconditionally for the discovery subsystem -- so the call
is reachable pre-authentication by any TCP/RDMA/FC peer that can reach
the nvmet target. With a discovery log page of ~1 KiB, an attacker
requesting up to 4 KiB starting at offset == alloc_len reads the next
slab page out and gets its content returned over the fabric (an
empirical run on a default nvmet-tcp loopback target leaked 81
canonical kernel pointers in one Get Log Page response). Pointing the
offset at unmapped kernel memory faults the in-kernel memcpy and
crashes (or panics, on panic_on_oops=1) the target host instead.
The attacker-controlled source-side offset pattern
"nvmet_copy_to_sgl(req, 0, buffer + ATTACKER_OFFSET, ...)" is unique
to nvmet_execute_disc_get_log_page in the entire nvmet codebase: every
other Get Log Page handler in admin-cmd.c either ignores lpo (and
silently starts every response at offset 0) or tracks a local
destination offset with a fixed source pointer.
Validate the host-supplied offset against the log page size, cap the
copy length to what is actually available, and zero-fill any remainder
of the host transfer buffer. The zero-fill matches the existing
short-response pattern in nvmet_execute_get_log_changed_ns()
(admin-cmd.c) and prevents leaking transport SGL contents when the
host asks for more bytes than the log page contains.
