In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: qcom: rpmpd: Check for null return of devm_kcalloc Because of the possible failure of the allocation, data->domains might be NULL pointer and will cause the dereference of the NULL pointer later. Therefore, it might be better to check it and directly return -ENOMEM without releasing data manually if fails, because the comment of the devm_kmalloc() says "Memory allocated with this function is automatically freed on driver detach.".Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ASoC: soc-compress: prevent the potentially use of null pointer There is one call trace that snd_soc_register_card() ->snd_soc_bind_card()->soc_init_pcm_runtime() ->snd_soc_dai_compress_new()->snd_soc_new_compress(). In the trace the 'codec_dai' transfers from card->dai_link, and we can see from the snd_soc_add_pcm_runtime() in snd_soc_bind_card() that, if value of card->dai_link->num_codecs is 0, then 'codec_dai' could be null pointer caused by index out of bound in 'asoc_rtd_to_codec(rtd, 0)'. And snd_soc_register_card() is called by various platforms. Therefore, it is better to add the check in the case of misusing. And because 'cpu_dai' has already checked in soc_init_pcm_runtime(), there is no need to check again. Adding the check as follow, then if 'codec_dai' is null, snd_soc_new_compress() will not pass through the check 'if (playback + capture != 1)', avoiding the leftover use of 'codec_dai'.Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: udmabuf: validate ubuf->pagecount Syzbot has reported GPF in sg_alloc_append_table_from_pages(). The problem was in ubuf->pages == ZERO_PTR. ubuf->pagecount is calculated from arguments passed from user-space. If user creates udmabuf with list.size == 0 then ubuf->pagecount will be also equal to zero; it causes kmalloc_array() to return ZERO_PTR. Fix it by validating ubuf->pagecount before passing it to kmalloc_array().Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: gpu: host1x: Fix a memory leak in 'host1x_remove()' Add a missing 'host1x_channel_list_free()' call in the remove function, as already done in the error handling path of the probe function.Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: clk: qcom: ipq8074: fix PCI-E clock oops Fix PCI-E clock related kernel oops that are caused by a missing clock parent. pcie0_rchng_clk_src has num_parents set to 2 but only one parent is actually set via parent_hws, it should also have "XO" defined. This will cause the kernel to panic on a NULL pointer in clk_core_get_parent_by_index(). So, to fix this utilize clk_parent_data to provide gcc_xo_gpll0 parent data. Since there is already an existing static const char * const gcc_xo_gpll0[] used to provide the same parents via parent_names convert those users to clk_parent_data as well. Without this earlycon is needed to even catch the OOPS as it will reset the board before serial is initialized with the following: [ 0.232279] Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 0000a00000000000 [ 0.232322] Mem abort info: [ 0.239094] ESR = 0x96000004 [ 0.241778] EC = 0x25: DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits [ 0.244908] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 0.250377] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 0.253236] FSC = 0x04: level 0 translation fault [ 0.256277] Data abort info: [ 0.261141] ISV = 0, ISS = 0x00000004 [ 0.264262] CM = 0, WnR = 0 [ 0.267820] [0000a00000000000] address between user and kernel address ranges [ 0.270954] Internal error: Oops: 96000004 [#1] SMP [ 0.278067] Modules linked in: [ 0.282751] CPU: 1 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.15.10 #0 [ 0.285882] Hardware name: Xiaomi AX3600 (DT) [ 0.292043] pstate: 20400005 (nzCv daif +PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) [ 0.296299] pc : clk_core_get_parent_by_index+0x68/0xec [ 0.303067] lr : __clk_register+0x1d8/0x820 [ 0.308273] sp : ffffffc01111b7d0 [ 0.312438] x29: ffffffc01111b7d0 x28: 0000000000000000 x27: 0000000000000040 [ 0.315919] x26: 0000000000000002 x25: 0000000000000000 x24: ffffff8000308800 [ 0.323037] x23: ffffff8000308850 x22: ffffff8000308880 x21: ffffff8000308828 [ 0.330155] x20: 0000000000000028 x19: ffffff8000309700 x18: 0000000000000020 [ 0.337272] x17: 000000005cc86990 x16: 0000000000000004 x15: ffffff80001d9d0a [ 0.344391] x14: 0000000000000000 x13: 0000000000000000 x12: 0000000000000006 [ 0.351508] x11: 0000000000000003 x10: 0101010101010101 x9 : 0000000000000000 [ 0.358626] x8 : 7f7f7f7f7f7f7f7f x7 : 6468626f5e626266 x6 : 17000a3a403c1b06 [ 0.365744] x5 : 061b3c403a0a0017 x4 : 0000000000000000 x3 : 0000000000000001 [ 0.372863] x2 : 0000a00000000000 x1 : 0000000000000001 x0 : ffffff8000309700 [ 0.379982] Call trace: [ 0.387091] clk_core_get_parent_by_index+0x68/0xec [ 0.389351] __clk_register+0x1d8/0x820 [ 0.394210] devm_clk_hw_register+0x5c/0xe0 [ 0.398030] devm_clk_register_regmap+0x44/0x8c [ 0.402198] qcom_cc_really_probe+0x17c/0x1d0 [ 0.406711] qcom_cc_probe+0x34/0x44 [ 0.411224] gcc_ipq8074_probe+0x18/0x30 [ 0.414869] platform_probe+0x68/0xe0 [ 0.418776] really_probe.part.0+0x9c/0x30c [ 0.422336] __driver_probe_device+0x98/0x144 [ 0.426329] driver_probe_device+0x44/0x11c [ 0.430842] __device_attach_driver+0xb4/0x120 [ 0.434836] bus_for_each_drv+0x68/0xb0 [ 0.439349] __device_attach+0xb0/0x170 [ 0.443081] device_initial_probe+0x14/0x20 [ 0.446901] bus_probe_device+0x9c/0xa4 [ 0.451067] device_add+0x35c/0x834 [ 0.454886] of_device_add+0x54/0x64 [ 0.458360] of_platform_device_create_pdata+0xc0/0x100 [ 0.462181] of_platform_bus_create+0x114/0x370 [ 0.467128] of_platform_bus_create+0x15c/0x370 [ 0.471641] of_platform_populate+0x50/0xcc [ 0.476155] of_platform_default_populate_init+0xa8/0xc8 [ 0.480324] do_one_initcall+0x50/0x1b0 [ 0.485877] kernel_init_freeable+0x234/0x29c [ 0.489436] kernel_init+0x24/0x120 [ 0.493948] ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 [ 0.497253] Code: d50323bf d65f03c0 f94002a2 b4000302 (f9400042) [ 0.501079] ---[ end trace 4ca7e1129da2abce ]---Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges"" A crash [1] happened to be triggered in conjunction with commit 2d52c58b9c9b ("block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges"). The latter was then reverted by commit ebc69e897e17 ("Revert "block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges""). Yet, the reverted commit was not the one introducing the bug. In fact, it actually triggered a UAF introduced by a different commit, and now fixed by commit d29bd41428cf ("block, bfq: reset last_bfqq_created on group change"). So, there is no point in keeping commit 2d52c58b9c9b ("block, bfq: honor already-setup queue merges") out. This commit restores it. [1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214503Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: x86/mmu: Zap _all_ roots when unmapping gfn range in TDP MMU Zap both valid and invalid roots when zapping/unmapping a gfn range, as KVM must ensure it holds no references to the freed page after returning from the unmap operation. Most notably, the TDP MMU doesn't zap invalid roots in mmu_notifier callbacks. This leads to use-after-free and other issues if the mmu_notifier runs to completion while an invalid root zapper yields as KVM fails to honor the requirement that there must be _no_ references to the page after the mmu_notifier returns. The bug is most easily reproduced by hacking KVM to cause a collision between set_nx_huge_pages() and kvm_mmu_notifier_release(), but the bug exists between kvm_mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() and memslot updates as well. Invalidating a root ensures pages aren't accessible by the guest, and KVM won't read or write page data itself, but KVM will trigger e.g. kvm_set_pfn_dirty() when zapping SPTEs, and thus completing a zap of an invalid root _after_ the mmu_notifier returns is fatal.

There are 2 situations: Situation 1: refcount is 3, page is created by __page_cache_alloc. TYPE_A - the write process is using this page TYPE_B - page is assigned to one certain mapping by calling __add_to_page_cache_locked() TYPE_C - page is added into pagevec list corresponding current cpu by calling lru_cache_add() Situation 2: refcount is 2, page is gotten from the mapping's tree TYPE_B - page has been assigned to one certain mapping TYPE_A - the write process is using this page (by calling page_cache_get_speculative()) Filesystem releases one refcount by calling put_page() in xxx_write_end(), the released refcount corresponds to TYPE_A (write task is using it). If there are any processes using a page, page migration process will skip the page by judging whether expected_page_refs() equals to page refcount. The BUG is caused by following process: PA(cpu 0) kcompactd(cpu 1) compact_zone ubifs_write_begin page_a = grab_cache_page_write_begin add_to_page_cache_lru lru_cache_add pagevec_add // put page into cpu 0's pagevec (refcnf = 3, for page creation process) ubifs_write_end SetPagePrivate(page_a) // doesn't increase page count ! unlock_page(page_a) put_page(page_a) // refcnt = 2 [...] PB(cpu 0) filemap_read filemap_get_pages add_to_page_cache_lru lru_cache_add __pagevec_lru_add // traverse all pages in cpu 0's pagevec __pagevec_lru_add_fn SetPageLRU(page_a) isolate_migratepages isolate_migratepages_block get_page_unless_zero(page_a) // refcnt = 3 list_add(page_a, from_list) migrate_pages(from_list) __unmap_and_move move_to_new_page ubifs_migrate_page(page_a) migrate_page_move_mapping expected_page_refs get 3 (migration[1] + mapping[1] + private[1]) release_pages put_page_testzero(page_a) // refcnt = 3 page_ref_freeze // refcnt = 0 page_ref_dec_and_test(0 - 1 = -1) page_ref_unfreeze VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(-1 != 0, page) UBIFS doesn't increase the page refcount after setting private flag, which leads to page migration task believes the page is not used by any other processes, so the page is migrated. This causes concurrent accessing on page refcount between put_page() called by other process(eg. read process calls lru_cache_add) and page_ref_unfreeze() called by mi ---truncated---Show less

Therefore, the two locks can be concurrent. ctrl_cdev_ioctl contains two operations: ubi_attach and ubi_detach. ubi_detach is bug-free because it uses reference counting to prevent concurrency. However, uif_init and uif_close in ubi_attach may race with ubi_cdev_ioctl. uif_init will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack. cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 _______________________|________________________|______________________ ctrl_cdev_ioctl ubi_attach_mtd_dev uif_init ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_create_volume cdev_device_add ubi_add_volume // sysfs exist kill_volumes ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_remove_volume cdev_device_del // first free ubi_free_volume cdev_del // double free cdev_device_del And uif_close will race with ubi_cdev_ioctl as in the following stack. cpu1 cpu2 cpu3 _______________________|________________________|______________________ ctrl_cdev_ioctl ubi_attach_mtd_dev uif_init ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_create_volume cdev_device_add ubi_debugfs_init_dev //error goto out_uif; uif_close kill_volumes ubi_cdev_ioctl ubi_remove_volume cdev_device_del // first free ubi_free_volume // double free The cause of this problem is that commit 714fb87e8bc0 make device "available" before it becomes accessible via sysfs. Therefore, we roll back the modification. We will fix the race condition between ubi device creation and udev by removing ubi_get_device in vol_attribute_show and dev_attribute_show.This avoids accessing uninitialized ubi_devices[ubi_num]. ubi_get_device is used to prevent devices from being deleted during sysfs execution. However, now kernfs ensures that devices will not be deleted before all reference counting are released. The key process is shown in the following stack. device_del device_remove_attrs device_remove_groups sysfs_remove_groups sysfs_remove_group remove_files kernfs_remove_by_name kernfs_remove_by_name_ns __kernfs_remove kernfs_drainShow less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ath5k: fix OOB in ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111 The bug was found during fuzzing. Stacktrace locates it in ath5k_eeprom_convert_pcal_info_5111. When none of the curve is selected in the loop, idx can go up to AR5K_EEPROM_N_PD_CURVES. The line makes pd out of bound. pd = &chinfo[pier].pd_curves[idx]; There are many OOB writes using pd later in the code. So I added a sanity check for idx. Checks for other loops involving AR5K_EEPROM_N_PD_CURVES are not needed as the loop index is not used outside the loops. The patch is NOT tested with real device. The following is the fuzzing report BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k] Write of size 1 at addr ffff8880174a4d60 by task modprobe/214 CPU: 0 PID: 214 Comm: modprobe Not tainted 5.6.0 #1 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x76/0xa0 print_address_description.constprop.0+0x16/0x200 ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k] ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k] __kasan_report.cold+0x37/0x7c ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k] kasan_report+0xe/0x20 ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_5111+0x126a/0x1390 [ath5k] ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xa/0x20 ? ath5k_eeprom_init_11a_pcal_freq+0xbc0/0xbc0 [ath5k] ? ath5k_pci_eeprom_read+0x228/0x3c0 [ath5k] ath5k_eeprom_init+0x2513/0x6290 [ath5k] ? ath5k_eeprom_init_11a_pcal_freq+0xbc0/0xbc0 [ath5k] ? usleep_range+0xb8/0x100 ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xa/0x20 ? ath5k_eeprom_read_pcal_info_2413+0x2f20/0x2f20 [ath5k] ath5k_hw_init+0xb60/0x1970 [ath5k] ath5k_init_ah+0x6fe/0x2530 [ath5k] ? kasprintf+0xa6/0xe0 ? ath5k_stop+0x140/0x140 [ath5k] ? _dev_notice+0xf6/0xf6 ? apic_timer_interrupt+0xa/0x20 ath5k_pci_probe.cold+0x29a/0x3d6 [ath5k] ? ath5k_pci_eeprom_read+0x3c0/0x3c0 [ath5k] ? mutex_lock+0x89/0xd0 ? ath5k_pci_eeprom_read+0x3c0/0x3c0 [ath5k] local_pci_probe+0xd3/0x160 pci_device_probe+0x23f/0x3e0 ? pci_device_remove+0x280/0x280 ? pci_device_remove+0x280/0x280 really_probe+0x209/0x5d0Show less

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/set_memory: Avoid spinlock recursion in change_page_attr() Commit 1f9ad21c3b38 ("powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines") included a spin_lock() to change_page_attr() in order to safely perform the three step operations. But then commit 9f7853d7609d ("powerpc/mm: Fix set_memory_*() against concurrent accesses") modify it to use pte_update() and do the operation safely against concurrent access. In the meantime, Maxime reported some spinlock recursion.

But all have the _PAGE_KERNEL_{RO/ROX/RW/RWX} set of flags. All we need it to compare two sets to know which bits are set or cleared. For instance, by comparing _PAGE_KERNEL_ROX and _PAGE_KERNEL_RO you know which bit gets cleared and which bit get set when changing exec permission.Show less
