| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/ieee802154: don't warn zero-sized raw_sendmsg()
syzbot is hitting skb_assert_len() warning at __dev_queue_xmit() [1],
for PF_IEEE802154 socket's zero-sized raw_sendmsg() request is hitting
__dev_queue_xmit() with skb->len == 0.
Since PF_IEEE802154 socket's zero-sized raw_sendmsg() request was
able to return 0, don't call __dev_queue_xmit() if packet length is 0.
----------
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct sockaddr_in addr = { .sin_family = AF_INET, .sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK) };
struct iovec iov = { };
struct msghdr hdr = { .msg_name = &addr, .msg_namelen = sizeof(addr), .msg_iov = &iov, .msg_iovlen = 1 };
sendmsg(socket(PF_IEEE802154, SOCK_RAW, 0), &hdr, 0);
return 0;
}
----------
Note that this might be a sign that commit fd1894224407c484 ("bpf: Don't
redirect packets with invalid pkt_len") should be reverted, for
skb->len == 0 was acceptable for at least PF_IEEE802154 socket. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/lcs: Fix return type of lcs_start_xmit()
With clang's kernel control flow integrity (kCFI, CONFIG_CFI_CLANG),
indirect call targets are validated against the expected function
pointer prototype to make sure the call target is valid to help mitigate
ROP attacks. If they are not identical, there is a failure at run time,
which manifests as either a kernel panic or thread getting killed. A
proposed warning in clang aims to catch these at compile time, which
reveals:
drivers/s390/net/lcs.c:2090:21: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'netdev_tx_t (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' (aka 'enum netdev_tx (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)') with an expression of type 'int (struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
.ndo_start_xmit = lcs_start_xmit,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/s390/net/lcs.c:2097:21: error: incompatible function pointer types initializing 'netdev_tx_t (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' (aka 'enum netdev_tx (*)(struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)') with an expression of type 'int (struct sk_buff *, struct net_device *)' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-function-pointer-types-strict]
.ndo_start_xmit = lcs_start_xmit,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
->ndo_start_xmit() in 'struct net_device_ops' expects a return type of
'netdev_tx_t', not 'int'. Adjust the return type of lcs_start_xmit() to
match the prototype's to resolve the warning and potential CFI failure,
should s390 select ARCH_SUPPORTS_CFI_CLANG in the future. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath9k: avoid uninit memory read in ath9k_htc_rx_msg()
syzbot is reporting uninit value at ath9k_htc_rx_msg() [1], for
ioctl(USB_RAW_IOCTL_EP_WRITE) can call ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() with
pkt_len = 0 but ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() uses
__dev_alloc_skb(pkt_len + 32, GFP_ATOMIC) based on an assumption that
pkt_len is valid. As a result, ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream() allocates skb
with uninitialized memory and ath9k_htc_rx_msg() is reading from
uninitialized memory.
Since bytes accessed by ath9k_htc_rx_msg() is not known until
ath9k_htc_rx_msg() is called, it would be difficult to check minimal valid
pkt_len at "if (pkt_len > 2 * MAX_RX_BUF_SIZE) {" line in
ath9k_hif_usb_rx_stream().
We have two choices. One is to workaround by adding __GFP_ZERO so that
ath9k_htc_rx_msg() sees 0 if pkt_len is invalid. The other is to let
ath9k_htc_rx_msg() validate pkt_len before accessing. This patch chose
the latter.
Note that I'm not sure threshold condition is correct, for I can't find
details on possible packet length used by this protocol. |

net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix possible memory leak in mtk_probe()

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: akcipher - default implementation for setting a private key
Changes from v1:
* removed the default implementation from set_pub_key: it is assumed that
an implementation must always have this callback defined as there are
no use case for an algorithm, which doesn't need a public key
Many akcipher implementations (like ECDSA) support only signature
verifications, so they don't have all callbacks defined.
Commit 78a0324f4a53 ("crypto: akcipher - default implementations for
request callbacks") introduced default callbacks for sign/verify
operations, which just return an error code.
However, these are not enough, because before calling sign the caller would
likely call set_priv_key first on the instantiated transform (as the
in-kernel testmgr does). This function does not have a default stub, so the
kernel crashes, when trying to set a private key on an akcipher, which
doesn't support signature generation.
I've noticed this, when trying to add a KAT vector for ECDSA signature to
the testmgr.
With this patch the testmgr returns an error in dmesg (as it should)
instead of crashing the kernel NULL ptr dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmem: core: Fix memleak in nvmem_register()
dev_set_name will alloc memory for nvmem->dev.kobj.name in
nvmem_register, when nvmem_validate_keepouts failed, nvmem's
memory will be freed and return, but nobody will free memory
for nvmem->dev.kobj.name, there will be memleak, so moving
nvmem_validate_keepouts() after device_register() and let
the device core deal with cleaning name in error cases. |

wifi: ath9k: hif_usb: fix memory leak of urbs in ath9k_hif_usb_dealloc_tx_urbs()
Syzkaller reports a long-known leak of urbs in
ath9k_hif_usb_dealloc_tx_urbs().
The cause of the leak is that usb_get_urb() is called but usb_free_urb()
(or usb_put_urb()) is not called inside usb_kill_urb() as urb->dev or
urb->ep fields have not been initialized and usb_kill_urb() returns
immediately.
The patch removes trying to kill urbs located in hif_dev->tx.tx_buf
because hif_dev->tx.tx_buf is not supposed to contain urbs which are in
pending state (the pending urbs are stored in hif_dev->tx.tx_pending).
The tx.tx_lock is acquired so there should not be any changes in the list.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dpu: Disallow unallocated resources to be returned
In the event that the topology requests resources that have not been
created by the system (because they are typically not represented in
dpu_mdss_cfg ^1), the resource(s) in global_state (in this case DSC
blocks, until their allocation/assignment is being sanity-checked in
"drm/msm/dpu: Reject topologies for which no DSC blocks are available")
remain NULL but will still be returned out of
dpu_rm_get_assigned_resources, where the caller expects to get an array
containing num_blks valid pointers (but instead gets these NULLs).
To prevent this from happening, where null-pointer dereferences
typically result in a hard-to-debug platform lockup, num_blks shouldn't
increase past NULL blocks and will print an error and break instead.
After all, max_blks represents the static size of the maximum number of
blocks whereas the actual amount varies per platform.
^1: which can happen after a git rebase ended up moving additions to
_dpu_cfg to a different struct which has the same patch context.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwrng: virtio - Fix race on data_avail and actual data
The virtio rng device kicks off a new entropy request whenever the
data available reaches zero. When a new request occurs at the end
of a read operation, that is, when the result of that request is
only needed by the next reader, then there is a race between the
writing of the new data and the next reader.
This is because there is no synchronisation whatsoever between the
writer and the reader.
Fix this by writing data_avail with smp_store_release and reading
it with smp_load_acquire when we first enter read. The subsequent
reads are safe because they're either protected by the first load
acquire, or by the completion mechanism.
Also remove the redundant zeroing of data_idx in random_recv_done
(data_idx must already be zero at this point) and data_avail in
request_entropy (ditto). |

In externel_lb process, the hns3 driver call napi_disable()
first, then the reset happen, then the restore process of the
externel_lb will fail, and will not call napi_enable(). When
doing externel_lb again, napi_disable() will be double call,
cause a deadlock of rtnl_lock().
This patch use the HNS3_NIC_STATE_DOWN state to protect the
calling of napi_disable() and napi_enable() in externel_lb
process, just as the usage in ndo_stop() and ndo_start(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
af_unix: Fix data-race around unix_tot_inflight.
unix_tot_inflight is changed under spin_lock(unix_gc_lock), but
unix_release_sock() reads it locklessly.
Let's use READ_ONCE() for unix_tot_inflight.
Note that the writer side was marked by commit 9d6d7f1cb67c ("af_unix:
annote lockless accesses to unix_tot_inflight & gc_in_progress")

Example thread interleaving that causes the general protection fault
is as follows:
CPU1 (vmci_host_poll) CPU2 (vmci_host_do_init_context)
----- -----
// Read uninitialized context
context = vmci_host_dev->context;
// Initialize context
vmci_host_dev->context = vmci_ctx_create();
vmci_host_dev->ct_type = VMCIOBJ_CONTEXT;
if (vmci_host_dev->ct_type == VMCIOBJ_CONTEXT) {
// Dereferencing the wrong pointer
poll_wait(..., &context->host_context);
}
In this scenario, vmci_host_poll() reads vmci_host_dev->context first,
and then reads vmci_host_dev->ct_type to check that
vmci_host_dev->context is initialized. However, since these two reads
are not atomically executed, there is a chance of a race condition as
described above.
To fix this race condition, read vmci_host_dev->context after checking
the value of vmci_host_dev->ct_type so that vmci_host_poll() always
reads an initialized context. |
