CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: CPPC: Use access_width over bit_width for system memory accesses
To align with ACPI 6.3+, since bit_width can be any 8-bit value, it
cannot be depended on to be always on a clean 8b boundary. This was
uncovered on the Cobalt 100 platform.

Instead, use access_width to determine the size and use the offset and
width to shift and mask the bits to read/write out. Make sure to add a
check for system memory since pcc redefines the access_width to
subspace id.
If access_width is not set, then fall back to using bit_width.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dyndbg: fix old BUG_ON in >control parser
Fix a BUG_ON from 2009. Even if it looks "unreachable" (I didn't
really look), lets make sure by removing it, doing pr_err and return
-EINVAL instead. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-direct: Leak pages on dma_set_decrypted() failure
On TDX it is possible for the untrusted host to cause
set_memory_encrypted() or set_memory_decrypted() to fail such that an
error is returned and the resulting memory is shared. Callers need to
take care to handle these errors to avoid returning decrypted (shared)
memory to the page allocator, which could lead to functional or security
issues.
DMA could free decrypted/shared pages if dma_set_decrypted() fails. This
should be a rare case. Just leak the pages in this case instead of
freeing them. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
of: module: prevent NULL pointer dereference in vsnprintf()
In of_modalias(), we can get passed the str and len parameters which would
cause a kernel oops in vsnprintf() since it only allows passing a NULL ptr
when the length is also 0. Also, we need to filter out the negative values
of the len parameter as these will result in a really huge buffer since
snprintf() takes size_t parameter while ours is ssize_t...
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with the Svace static
analysis tool. |

Root cause is mass storage function try to queue request from main thread,
but other thread may already disable ep when function disable.
As there is no function failure in the driver, in order to avoid effort
to fix warning, change WARN_ON_ONCE() in usb_ep_queue() to pr_debug(). |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm-raid456, md/raid456: fix a deadlock for dm-raid456 while io concurrent with reshape
For raid456, if reshape is still in progress, then IO across reshape
position will wait for reshape to make progress. However, for dm-raid,
in following cases reshape will never make progress hence IO will hang:
1) the array is read-only;
2) MD_RECOVERY_WAIT is set;
3) MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set;
After commit c467e97f079f ("md/raid6: use valid sector values to determine
if an I/O should wait on the reshape") fix the problem that IO across
reshape position doesn't wait for reshape, the dm-raid test
shell/lvconvert-raid-reshape.sh start to hang:

This is because reshape can't make progress.
For md/raid, the problem doesn't exist because register new sync_thread
doesn't rely on the IO to be done any more:
1) If array is read-only, it can switch to read-write by ioctl/sysfs;
2) md/raid never set MD_RECOVERY_WAIT;
3) If MD_RECOVERY_FROZEN is set, mddev_suspend() doesn't hold
'reconfig_mutex', hence it can be cleared and reshape can continue by
sysfs api 'sync_action'.
However, I'm not sure yet how to avoid the problem in dm-raid yet. This
patch on the one hand make sure raid_message() can't change
sync_thread() through raid_message() after presuspend(), on the other
hand detect the above 3 cases before wait for IO do be done in
dm_suspend(), and let dm-raid requeue those IO. |

smb: client: fix potential UAF in cifs_debug_files_proc_show()
Skip sessions that are being teared down (status == SES_EXITING) to
avoid UAF. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fc: do not wait in vain when unloading module
The module exit path has race between deleting all controllers and
freeing 'left over IDs'. To prevent double free a synchronization
between nvme_delete_ctrl and ida_destroy has been added by the initial
commit.
There is some logic around trying to prevent from hanging forever in
wait_for_completion, though it does not handling all cases. E.g.
blktests is able to reproduce the situation where the module unload
hangs forever.
If we completely rely on the cleanup code executed from the
nvme_delete_ctrl path, all IDs will be freed eventually. This makes
calling ida_destroy unnecessary. We only have to ensure that all
nvme_delete_ctrl code has been executed before we leave
nvme_fc_exit_module. This is done by flushing the nvme_delete_wq
workqueue.
While at it, remove the unused nvme_fc_wq workqueue too. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nouveau: offload fence uevents work to workqueue
This should break the deadlock between the fctx lock and the irq lock.
This offloads the processing off the work from the irq into a workqueue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/proc: do_task_stat: use sig->stats_lock to gather the threads/children stats
lock_task_sighand() can trigger a hard lockup. If NR_CPUS threads call
do_task_stat() at the same time and the process has NR_THREADS, it will
spin with irqs disabled O(NR_CPUS * NR_THREADS) time.
Change do_task_stat() to use sig->stats_lock to gather the statistics
outside of ->siglock protected section, in the likely case this code will
run lockless. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/iommu: 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. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: iscsi_tcp: Fix UAF during login when accessing the shost ipaddress
If during iscsi_sw_tcp_session_create() iscsi_tcp_r2tpool_alloc() fails,
userspace could be accessing the host's ipaddress attr. If we then free the
session via iscsi_session_teardown() while userspace is still accessing the
session we will hit a use after free bug.
Set the tcp_sw_host->session after we have completed session creation and
can no longer fail. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/swapfile: add cond_resched() in get_swap_pages()
The softlockup still occurs in get_swap_pages() under memory pressure. 64
CPU cores, 64GB memory, and 28 zram devices, the disksize of each zram
device is 50MB with same priority as si. Use the stress-ng tool to
increase memory pressure, causing the system to oom frequently.
The plist_for_each_entry_safe() loops in get_swap_pages() could reach tens
of thousands of times to find available space (extreme case:
cond_resched() is not called in scan_swap_map_slots()). Let's add
cond_resched() into get_swap_pages() when failed to find available space
to avoid softlockup. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: n_gsm: require CAP_NET_ADMIN to attach N_GSM0710 ldisc
Any unprivileged user can attach N_GSM0710 ldisc, but it requires

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpu/hotplug: Don't offline the last non-isolated CPU
If a system has isolated CPUs via the "isolcpus=" command line parameter,
then an attempt to offline the last housekeeping CPU will result in a
WARN_ON() when rebuilding the scheduler domains and a subsequent panic due
to and unhandled empty CPU mas in partition_sched_domains_locked().
cpuset_hotplug_workfn()
rebuild_sched_domains_locked()
ndoms = generate_sched_domains(&doms, &attr);
cpumask_and(doms[0], top_cpuset.effective_cpus, housekeeping_cpumask(HK_FLAG_DOMAIN));
Thus results in an empty CPU mask which triggers the warning and then the
subsequent crash:
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 80 at kernel/sched/topology.c:2366 build_sched_domains+0x120c/0x1408
Call trace:
build_sched_domains+0x120c/0x1408

rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x37c/0x798

partition_sched_domains_locked+0x318/0x880
rebuild_sched_domains_locked+0x37c/0x798
Aside of the resulting crash, it does not make any sense to offline the last
last housekeeping CPU.
Prevent this by masking out the non-housekeeping CPUs when selecting a
target CPU for initiating the CPU unplug operation via the work queue. |
