Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 6.7.5 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: sprd: fix error pointer deref after DMA setup failure
The driver falls back to PIO mode if DMA setup fails during probe.
Make sure to check the dma.enabled flag before trying to release the DMA
channels also on late probe errors to avoid dereferencing an error
pointer (or attempting to release a channel a second time).
This issue was flagged by Sashiko when reviewing a devres allocation
conversion patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Fix iommu_map_sgtable() return value check and avoid WARN
Commit "iommu: return full error code from iommu_map_sg[_atomic]()"
changed iommu_map_sgtable() to return an ssize_t and negative values
in error cases, rather than a size_t and a zero.
Store the return value in the appropriate type and in case of error,
return it rather than WARNing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/adreno: Fix a reference leak in a6xx_gpu_init()
In a6xx_gpu_init(), node is obtained via of_parse_phandle().
While there was a manual of_node_put() at the end of the
common path, several early error returns would bypass this call,
resulting in a reference leak.
Fix this by using the __free(device_node) cleanup handler to
release the reference when the variable goes out of scope.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath11k: fix error path leaks in some WMI WOW calls
Fix two instances where we used to directly return the result of
ath11k_wmi_cmd_send(...). Because we did not check the return value, we
also did not free the skb in the error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: btmtk: fix urb->setup_packet leak in error paths
The setup_packet of control urb is not freed if usb_submit_urb fails or
the submitted urb is killed. Add free in these two paths.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix metabuf leak in inode xattr initialization
commit bb88e8da0025 ("erofs: use meta buffers for xattr operations")
converted xattr operations to use on-stack erofs_buf instances.
erofs_init_inode_xattrs() uses such a metabuf while reading the inline
xattr header and shared xattr id array.
Some error paths after erofs_read_metabuf() leave through out_unlock
without dropping the metabuf, so the folio reference can leak.
Consolidate the cleanup at out_unlock. erofs_put_metabuf() is a
no-op if no folio has been acquired, and this keeps all paths after
taking EROFS_I_BL_XATTR_BIT covered by a single cleanup site.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pds_core: fix debugfs_lookup dentry leak and error handling
debugfs_lookup() returns a dentry with an elevated reference count that
must be released with dput(). The current code discards the returned
dentry without calling dput(), causing a reference leak on every
firmware reset recovery.
Additionally, when CONFIG_DEBUG_FS is disabled, debugfs_lookup()
returns ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), not NULL. The current check passes for error
pointers and would call dput() on an invalid pointer, causing a crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pds_core: fix error handling in pdsc_devcmd_wait
Fix two cases where pdsc_devcmd_wait() returns stale success from
the completion register instead of an error:
1. FW crash: If firmware stops running, the wait loop breaks early with
running=false. The condition "if ((!done || timeout) && running)" is
false, so error handling is bypassed and stale status is returned.
Check !running first and return -ENXIO.
2. Timeout: If a command times out, err is set to -ETIMEDOUT but then
overwritten by pdsc_err_to_errno(status) which reads stale status.
Return -ETIMEDOUT immediately after cleaning up.
Both errors now propagate to pdsc_devcmd_locked() which queues
health_work for recovery.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: asihpi: Fix potential OOB array access at reading cache
find_control() to retrieve a cached info accesses the array with the
given index blindly, which may lead to an OOB array access.
Add a sanity check for avoiding it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Don't setup bogus iov_iter for silencing
At transition to the iov_iter for PCM data transfer, we blindly
applied the iov_iter setup also for silencing (i.e. data = NULL), and
it leads to a calculation of bogus iov_iter. Fortunately this didn't
cause troubles on most of architectures but it goes wrong on RISC-V
now, causing a NULL dereference.
Handle the NULL data case to treat the silencing in interleaved_copy()
for addressing the bug above. noninterleaved_copy() has already the
NULL data handling, so it doesn't need changes.
