It is because that skb->len requires at least sizeof(struct qrtr_ctrl_pkt)
in qrtr_tx_resume(). And skb->len equals to size in qrtr_endpoint_post().
But size is less than sizeof(struct qrtr_ctrl_pkt) when qrtr_cb->type
equals to QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX in qrtr_endpoint_post() under the syzbot
scenario. This triggers the uninit variable access bug.
Add size check when qrtr_cb->type equals to QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX in
qrtr_endpoint_post() to fix the bug. |

The point of the WARN was to print something, not oops
straight up. Currently that is precisely what happens
if we can't find the connector for the crtc in the atomic

of the potentially NULL encoder to avoid that.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: qup: Don't skip cleanup in remove's error path
Returning early in a platform driver's remove callback is wrong. In this
case the dma resources are not released in the error path. this is never
retried later and so this is a permanent leak. To fix this, only skip
hardware disabling if waking the device fails. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wwan: iosm: fix NULL pointer dereference when removing device
In suspend and resume cycle, the removal and rescan of device ends
up in NULL pointer dereference.
During driver initialization, if the ipc_imem_wwan_channel_init()
fails to get the valid device capabilities it returns an error and
further no resource (wwan struct) will be allocated. Now in this
situation if driver removal procedure is initiated it would result
in NULL pointer exception since unallocated wwan struct is dereferenced
inside ipc_wwan_deinit().
ipc_imem_run_state_worker() to handle the called functions return value
and to release the resource in failure case. It also reports the link
down event in failure cases. The user space application can handle this
event to do a device reset for restoring the device communication. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: Rework long task execution when adding/deleting entries
When adding/deleting large number of elements in one step in ipset, it can
take a reasonable amount of time and can result in soft lockup errors. The
patch 5f7b51bf09ba ("netfilter: ipset: Limit the maximal range of
consecutive elements to add/delete") tried to fix it by limiting the max
elements to process at all. However it was not enough, it is still possible
that we get hung tasks. Lowering the limit is not reasonable, so the
approach in this patch is as follows: rely on the method used at resizing
sets and save the state when we reach a smaller internal batch limit,
unlock/lock and proceed from the saved state. Thus we can avoid long
continuous tasks and at the same time removed the limit to add/delete large
number of elements in one step.
The nfnl mutex is held during the whole operation which prevents one to
issue other ipset commands in parallel. |

This bug is caused by the fact that usbnet trusts the bulk endpoint
addresses its probe routine receives in the driver_info structure, and
it does not check to see that these endpoints actually exist and have
the expected type and directions.
The fix is simply to add such a check. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa: Add max vqp attr to vdpa_nl_policy for nlattr length check
The vdpa_nl_policy structure is used to validate the nlattr when parsing
the incoming nlmsg. It will ensure the attribute being described produces
a valid nlattr pointer in info->attrs before entering into each handler
in vdpa_nl_ops.
That is to say, the missing part in vdpa_nl_policy may lead to illegal
nlattr after parsing, which could lead to OOB read just like CVE-2023-3773.
This patch adds the missing nla_policy for vdpa max vqp attr to avoid
such bugs. |

wifi: ath11k: fix deinitialization of firmware resources
Currently, in ath11k_ahb_fw_resources_init(), iommu domain
mapping is done only for the chipsets having fixed firmware
memory. Also, for such chipsets, mapping is done only if it
does not have TrustZone support.
During deinitialization, only if TrustZone support is not there,
iommu is unmapped back. However, for non fixed firmware memory
chipsets, TrustZone support is not there and this makes the
condition check to true and it tries to unmap the memory which
was not mapped during initialization.
This leads to the following trace -

wifi: iwlwifi: pcie: Fix integer overflow in iwl_write_to_user_buf
An integer overflow occurs in the iwl_write_to_user_buf() function,
which is called by the iwl_dbgfs_monitor_data_read() function.
static bool iwl_write_to_user_buf(char __user *user_buf, ssize_t count,
void *buf, ssize_t *size,
ssize_t *bytes_copied)
{
int buf_size_left = count - *bytes_copied;
buf_size_left = buf_size_left - (buf_size_left % sizeof(u32));
if (*size > buf_size_left)
*size = buf_size_left;
If the user passes a SIZE_MAX value to the "ssize_t count" parameter,
the ssize_t count parameter is assigned to "int buf_size_left".
Then compare "*size" with "buf_size_left" . Here, "buf_size_left" is a
negative number, so "*size" is assigned "buf_size_left" and goes into
the third argument of the copy_to_user function, causing a heap overflow.
This is not a security vulnerability because iwl_dbgfs_monitor_data_read()
is a debugfs operation with 0400 privileges. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: gs_usb: fix time stamp counter initialization
If the gs_usb device driver is unloaded (or unbound) before the
interface is shut down, the USB stack first calls the struct
usb_driver::disconnect and then the struct net_device_ops::ndo_stop
callback.
In gs_usb_disconnect() all pending bulk URBs are killed, i.e. no more
RX'ed CAN frames are send from the USB device to the host. Later in
gs_can_close() a reset control message is send to each CAN channel to
remove the controller from the CAN bus. In this race window the USB
device can still receive CAN frames from the bus and internally queue
them to be send to the host.
At least in the current version of the candlelight firmware, the queue
of received CAN frames is not emptied during the reset command. After
loading (or binding) the gs_usb driver, new URBs are submitted during
the struct net_device_ops::ndo_open callback and the candlelight
firmware starts sending its already queued CAN frames to the host.
However, this scenario was not considered when implementing the
hardware timestamp function. The cycle counter/time counter
infrastructure is set up (gs_usb_timestamp_init()) after the USBs are
submitted, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference if
timecounter_cyc2time() (via the call chain:
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback() -> gs_usb_set_timestamp() ->
gs_usb_skb_set_timestamp()) is called too early.
Move the gs_usb_timestamp_init() function before the URBs are
submitted to fix this problem.
For a comprehensive solution, we need to consider gs_usb devices with
more than 1 channel. The cycle counter/time counter infrastructure is
setup per channel, but the RX URBs are per device. Once gs_can_open()
of _a_ channel has been called, and URBs have been submitted, the
gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback() can be called for _all_ available
channels, even for channels that are not running, yet. As cycle
counter/time counter has not set up, this will again lead to a NULL
pointer dereference.
Convert the cycle counter/time counter from a "per channel" to a "per
device" functionality. Also set it up, before submitting any URBs to
the device.
Further in gs_usb_receive_bulk_callback(), don't process any URBs for
not started CAN channels, only resubmit the URB. |

cgroup,freezer: hold cpu_hotplug_lock before freezer_mutex
syzbot is reporting circular locking dependency between cpu_hotplug_lock
and freezer_mutex, for commit f5d39b020809 ("freezer,sched: Rewrite core
freezer logic") replaced atomic_inc() in freezer_apply_state() with
static_branch_inc() which holds cpu_hotplug_lock.
cpu_hotplug_lock => cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem => freezer_mutex
cgroup_file_write() {
cgroup_procs_write() {
__cgroup_procs_write() {
cgroup_procs_write_start() {
cgroup_attach_lock() {
cpus_read_lock() {
percpu_down_read(&cpu_hotplug_lock);
}
percpu_down_write(&cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem);
}
}
cgroup_attach_task() {
cgroup_migrate() {
cgroup_migrate_execute() {
freezer_attach() {
mutex_lock(&freezer_mutex);
(...snipped...)
}
}
}
}
(...snipped...)
}
}
}
freezer_mutex => cpu_hotplug_lock
cgroup_file_write() {
freezer_write() {
freezer_change_state() {
mutex_lock(&freezer_mutex);
freezer_apply_state() {
static_branch_inc(&freezer_active) {
static_key_slow_inc() {
cpus_read_lock();
static_key_slow_inc_cpuslocked();
cpus_read_unlock();
}
}
}
mutex_unlock(&freezer_mutex);
}
}
}
Swap locking order by moving cpus_read_lock() in freezer_apply_state()
to before mutex_lock(&freezer_mutex) in freezer_change_state(). |

macvlan: add forgotten nla_policy for IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF
The previous commit 954d1fa1ac93 ("macvlan: Add netlink attribute for
broadcast cutoff") added one additional attribute named
IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF to allow broadcast cutfoff.
However, it forgot to describe the nla_policy at macvlan_policy
(drivers/net/macvlan.c). Hence, this suppose NLA_S32 (4 bytes) integer
can be faked as empty (0 bytes) by a malicious user, which could leads
to OOB in heap just like CVE-2023-3773.
To fix it, this commit just completes the nla_policy description for
IFLA_MACVLAN_BC_CUTOFF. This enforces the length check and avoids the
potential OOB read. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
virtio-mmio: don't break lifecycle of vm_dev
vm_dev has a separate lifecycle because it has a 'struct device'
embedded. Thus, having a release callback for it is correct.
Allocating the vm_dev struct with devres totally breaks this protection,
though. Instead of waiting for the vm_dev release callback, the memory
is freed when the platform_device is removed. Resulting in a
use-after-free when finally the callback is to be called.
To easily see the problem, compile the kernel with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE and unbind with sysfs.
The fix is easy, don't use devres in this case.
Found during my research about object lifetime problems. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpu: host1x: Fix memory leak of device names
The device names allocated by dev_set_name() need be freed
before module unloading, but they can not be freed because
the kobject's refcount which was set in device_initialize()
has not be decreased to 0.
As comment of device_add() says, if it fails, use only
put_device() drop the refcount, then the name will be
freed in kobejct_cleanup().
device_del() and put_device() can be replaced with
device_unregister(), so call it to unregister the added
successfully devices, and just call put_device() to the
not added device.
Add a release() function to device to avoid null release()
function WARNING in device_release(), it's empty, because
the context devices are freed together in
host1x_memory_context_list_free(). |
