Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 5.14.17 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/umem: Fix truncation for block sizes >= 4G
When the iommu is used the linearization of the mapping can give a single
block that is very large split across multiple SG entries.
When __rdma_block_iter_next() reassembles the split SG entries it is
overflowing the 32 bit stack values and computed the wrong DMA addresses
for blocks after the truncation.
Use the right types to hold DMA addresses.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_fib: fix stale stack leak via the OIFNAME register
For NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIFNAME the destination register is declared with
len = IFNAMSIZ (four 32-bit registers), but on the lookup-fail,
RTN_LOCAL and oif-mismatch paths nft_fib{4,6}_eval() only writes one
register via "*dest = 0". The remaining three registers are left as
whatever was on the stack in nft_do_chain()'s struct nft_regs, and a
downstream expression that loads the register span can leak that
uninitialised kernel stack to userspace.
The NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT existence check has the same shape: it is only
meaningful for NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF, yet it was accepted for any result type
while the eval stores a single byte via nft_reg_store8(), leaving the rest
of the declared span stale.
Fix both:
- replace the bare "*dest = 0" in the eval with nft_fib_store_result(),
which strscpy_pad()s the whole IFNAMSIZ for OIFNAME (and is already
used on the other early-return path), and
- restrict NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT to NFT_FIB_RESULT_OIF and declare its
destination as a single u8, so the marked span matches the one byte
the eval writes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix NULL deref and buffer over-read in SDP debugfs
[Why & How]
dp_sdp_message_debugfs_write() dereferences connector->base.state->crtc
without checking for NULL. A connector can be connected but not bound to
any CRTC (e.g. after hot-plug before the next atomic commit), causing a
kernel crash when writing to the sdp_message debugfs node.
The function also ignores the user-provided size argument and always
passes 36 bytes to copy_from_user(), reading past the user buffer when
size < 36.
Fix both issues by:
- Returning -ENODEV when connector->base.state or state->crtc is NULL
- Clamping write_size to min(size, sizeof(data))
(cherry picked from commit 6ab4c36a522842ff70474a1c0af2e40e50fc8300)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Clamp VBIOS HDMI retimer register count to array size
[Why & How]
The VBIOS integrated info tables (v1_11 and v2_1) contain HdmiRegNum and
Hdmi6GRegNum fields that are used as loop bounds when copying retimer I2C
register settings into fixed-size arrays (dp*_ext_hdmi_reg_settings[9]
and dp*_ext_hdmi_6g_reg_settings[3]). These u8 fields are not validated
before use, so a malformed VBIOS can specify values up to 255, causing an
out-of-bounds heap write during driver probe.
Clamp each register count to the destination array size using min_t()
before the copy loops, in both get_integrated_info_v11() and
get_integrated_info_v2_1().
(cherry picked from commit 5a7f0ef90195940c54b0f5bb85b87da55f038c69)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drbd: Balance RCU calls in drbd_adm_dump_devices()
Make drbd_adm_dump_devices() call rcu_read_lock() before
rcu_read_unlock() is called. This has been detected by the Clang
thread-safety analyzer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/mbcache: cancel shrink work before destroying the cache
mb_cache_destroy() calls shrinker_free() and then frees all cache
entries and the cache itself, but it does not cancel the pending
c_shrink_work work item first.
If mb_cache_entry_create() schedules c_shrink_work via schedule_work()
and the work item is still pending or running when mb_cache_destroy()
runs, mb_cache_shrink_worker() will access the cache after its memory
has been freed, causing a use-after-free.
This is only reachable by a privileged user (root or CAP_SYS_ADMIN)
who can trigger the last put of a mounted ext2/ext4/ocfs2 filesystem.
Cancel the work item with cancel_work_sync() before calling
shrinker_free(), ensuring the worker has finished and will not be
rescheduled before the cache is torn down.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/omfs: reject s_sys_blocksize smaller than OMFS_DIR_START
omfs_fill_super() rejects oversized s_sys_blocksize values (> PAGE_SIZE),
but it does not reject values smaller than OMFS_DIR_START (0x1b8 = 440).
Later, omfs_make_empty() uses
sbi->s_sys_blocksize - OMFS_DIR_START
as the length argument to memset(). Since s_sys_blocksize is u32,
a crafted filesystem image with s_sys_blocksize < OMFS_DIR_START causes
an unsigned underflow there, wrapping to a value near 2^32. That drives
a ~4 GiB memset() from bh->b_data + OMFS_DIR_START and overwrites kernel
memory far beyond the backing block buffer.
Add the corresponding lower-bound check alongside the existing upper-bound
check in omfs_fill_super(), so that malformed images are rejected during
superblock validation before any filesystem data is processed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2/dlm: validate qr_numregions in dlm_match_regions()
Patch series "ocfs2/dlm: fix two bugs in dlm_match_regions()".
In dlm_match_regions(), the qr_numregions field from a DLM_QUERY_REGION
network message is used to drive loops over the qr_regions buffer without
sufficient validation. This series fixes two issues:
- Patch 1 adds a bounds check to reject messages where qr_numregions
exceeds O2NM_MAX_REGIONS. The o2net layer only validates message
byte length; it does not constrain field values, so a crafted message
can set qr_numregions up to 255 and trigger out-of-bounds reads past
the 1024-byte qr_regions buffer.
- Patch 2 fixes an off-by-one in the local-vs-remote comparison loop,
which uses '<=' instead of '<', reading one entry past the valid range
even when qr_numregions is within bounds.
This patch (of 2):
The qr_numregions field from a DLM_QUERY_REGION network message is used
directly as loop bounds in dlm_match_regions() without checking against
O2NM_MAX_REGIONS. Since qr_regions is sized for at most O2NM_MAX_REGIONS
(32) entries, a crafted message with qr_numregions > 32 causes
out-of-bounds reads past the qr_regions buffer.
Add a bounds check for qr_numregions before entering the loops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: usbhid: fix deadlock in hid_post_reset()
You can build a USB device that includes a HID component
and a storage or UAS component. The components can be reset
only together. That means that hid_pre_reset() and hid_post_reset()
are in the block IO error handling. Hence no memory allocation
used in them may do block IO because the IO can deadlock
on the mutex held while resetting a device and calling the
interface drivers.
Use GFP_NOIO for all allocations in them.

[CAUSE]
ocfs2_group_add() calls ocfs2_set_new_buffer_uptodate() on a
user-controlled group block before ocfs2_verify_group_and_input()
validates that block number. That helper is only valid for newly
allocated metadata and asserts that the block is not already present in
the chosen metadata cache. The code also uses INODE_CACHE(inode) even
though the group descriptor belongs to main_bm_inode and later journal
accesses use that cache context instead.
[FIX]
Validate the on-disk group descriptor before caching it, then add it to
the metadata cache tracked by INODE_CACHE(main_bm_inode). Keep the
validation failure path separate from the later cleanup path so we only
remove the buffer from that cache after it has actually been inserted.
This keeps the group buffer lifetime consistent across validation,
journaling, and cleanup.
