| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix race setting file private on concurrent lseek using same fd
When doing concurrent lseek(2) system calls against the same file
descriptor, using multiple threads belonging to the same process, we have
a short time window where a race happens and can result in a memory leak.
The race happens like this:
1) A program opens a file descriptor for a file and then spawns two
threads (with the pthreads library for example), lets call them
task A and task B;
2) Task A calls lseek with SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE and ends up at
file.c:find_desired_extent() while holding a read lock on the inode;
3) At the start of find_desired_extent(), it extracts the file's
private_data pointer into a local variable named 'private', which has
a value of NULL;
4) Task B also calls lseek with SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, locks the inode
in shared mode and enters file.c:find_desired_extent(), where it also
extracts file->private_data into its local variable 'private', which
has a NULL value;
5) Because it saw a NULL file private, task A allocates a private
structure and assigns to the file structure;
6) Task B also saw a NULL file private so it also allocates its own file
private and then assigns it to the same file structure, since both
tasks are using the same file descriptor.
At this point we leak the private structure allocated by task A.
Besides the memory leak, there's also the detail that both tasks end up
using the same cached state record in the private structure (struct
btrfs_file_private::llseek_cached_state), which can result in a
use-after-free problem since one task can free it while the other is
still using it (only one task took a reference count on it). Also, sharing
the cached state is not a good idea since it could result in incorrect
results in the future - right now it should not be a problem because it
end ups being used only in extent-io-tree.c:count_range_bits() where we do
range validation before using the cached state.
Fix this by protecting the private assignment and check of a file while
holding the inode's spinlock and keep track of the task that allocated
the private, so that it's used only by that task in order to prevent
user-after-free issues with the cached state record as well as potentially
using it incorrectly in the future. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
padata: use integer wrap around to prevent deadlock on seq_nr overflow
When submitting more than 2^32 padata objects to padata_do_serial, the
current sorting implementation incorrectly sorts padata objects with
overflowed seq_nr, causing them to be placed before existing objects in
the reorder list. This leads to a deadlock in the serialization process
as padata_find_next cannot match padata->seq_nr and pd->processed
because the padata instance with overflowed seq_nr will be selected
next.
To fix this, we use an unsigned integer wrap around to correctly sort
padata objects in scenarios with integer overflow. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: call cache_put if xdr_reserve_space returns NULL
If not enough buffer space available, but idmap_lookup has triggered
lookup_fn which calls cache_get and returns successfully. Then we
missed to call cache_put here which pairs with cache_get.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: handle overlapped pclusters out of crafted images properly
syzbot reported a task hang issue due to a deadlock case where it is
waiting for the folio lock of a cached folio that will be used for
cache I/Os.
After looking into the crafted fuzzed image, I found it's formed with
several overlapped big pclusters as below:
Ext: logical offset | length : physical offset | length
0: 0.. 16384 | 16384 : 151552.. 167936 | 16384
1: 16384.. 32768 | 16384 : 155648.. 172032 | 16384
2: 32768.. 49152 | 16384 : 537223168.. 537239552 | 16384
...
Here, extent 0/1 are physically overlapped although it's entirely
_impossible_ for normal filesystem images generated by mkfs.
First, managed folios containing compressed data will be marked as
up-to-date and then unlocked immediately (unlike in-place folios) when
compressed I/Os are complete. If physical blocks are not submitted in
the incremental order, there should be separate BIOs to avoid dependency
issues. However, the current code mis-arranges z_erofs_fill_bio_vec()
and BIO submission which causes unexpected BIO waits.
Second, managed folios will be connected to their own pclusters for
efficient inter-queries. However, this is somewhat hard to implement
easily if overlapped big pclusters exist. Again, these only appear in
fuzzed images so let's simply fall back to temporary short-lived pages
for correctness.
Additionally, it justifies that referenced managed folios cannot be
truncated for now and reverts part of commit 2080ca1ed3e4 ("erofs: tidy
up `struct z_erofs_bvec`") for simplicity although it shouldn't be any
difference. |

bonding: Fix unnecessary warnings and logs from bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave()
syzbot reported a WARNING in bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave. To reproduce
this[1], one bond device (bond1) has xdpdrv, which increases
bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key. Another bond device (bond0) which is
unsupported by XDP but its slave (veth3) has xdpgeneric that returns
XDP_TX. This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() from the xdp_master_redirect().
To reduce unnecessary warnings and improve log management, we need to
delete the WARN_ON_ONCE() and add ratelimit to the netdev_err().
[1] Steps to reproduce:
# Needs tx_xdp with return XDP_TX;
ip l add veth0 type veth peer veth1
ip l add veth3 type veth peer veth4
ip l add bond0 type bond mode 6 # BOND_MODE_ALB, unsupported by XDP
ip l add bond1 type bond # BOND_MODE_ROUNDROBIN by default
ip l set veth0 master bond1
ip l set bond1 up
# Increases bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key
ip l set dev bond1 xdpdrv object tx_xdp.o section xdp_tx

crypto: iaa - Fix potential use after free bug
The free_device_compression_mode(iaa_device, device_mode) function frees
"device_mode" but it iss passed to iaa_compression_modes[i]->free() a few
lines later resulting in a use after free.
The good news is that, so far as I can tell, nothing implements the
->free() function and the use after free happens in dead code. But, with
this fix, when something does implement it, we'll be ready. :) |

drivers/perf: Fix ali_drw_pmu driver interrupt status clearing
The alibaba_uncore_pmu driver forgot to clear all interrupt status
in the interrupt processing function. After the PMU counter overflow
interrupt occurred, an interrupt storm occurred, causing the system
to hang.
Therefore, clear the correct interrupt status in the interrupt handling
function to fix it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: hisilicon/qm - inject error before stopping queue
The master ooo cannot be completely closed when the
accelerator core reports memory error. Therefore, the driver
needs to inject the qm error to close the master ooo. Currently,
the qm error is injected after stopping queue, memory may be
released immediately after stopping queue, causing the device to
access the released memory. Therefore, error is injected to close master
ooo before stopping queue to ensure that the device does not access
the released memory. |

drm/xe: Use reserved copy engine for user binds on faulting devices
User binds map to engines with can fault, faults depend on user binds
completion, thus we can deadlock. Avoid this by using reserved copy
engine for user binds on faulting devices.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Zero former ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} args in case of error
For all non-tracing helpers which formerly had ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} as input
arguments, zero the value for the case of an error as otherwise it could leak
memory. For tracing, it is not needed given CAP_PERFMON can already read all
kernel memory anyway hence bpf_get_func_arg() and bpf_get_func_ret() is skipped
in here.
Also, the MTU helpers mtu_len pointer value is being written but also read.
Technically, the MEM_UNINIT should not be there in order to always force init.
Removing MEM_UNINIT needs more verifier rework though: MEM_UNINIT right now
implies two things actually: i) write into memory, ii) memory does not have
to be initialized. If we lift MEM_UNINIT, it then becomes: i) read into memory,
ii) memory must be initialized. This means that for bpf_*_check_mtu() we're
readding the issue we're trying to fix, that is, it would then be able to
write back into things like .rodata BPF maps. Follow-up work will rework the
MEM_UNINIT semantics such that the intent can be better expressed. For now
just clear the *mtu_len on error path which can be lifted later again. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/tdx: Fix "in-kernel MMIO" check
TDX only supports kernel-initiated MMIO operations. The handle_mmio()
function checks if the #VE exception occurred in the kernel and rejects
the operation if it did not.
However, userspace can deceive the kernel into performing MMIO on its
behalf. For example, if userspace can point a syscall to an MMIO address,
syscall does get_user() or put_user() on it, triggering MMIO #VE. The
kernel will treat the #VE as in-kernel MMIO.
Ensure that the target MMIO address is within the kernel before decoding
instruction. |

wifi: ath11k: use work queue to process beacon tx event
Commit 3a415daa3e8b ("wifi: ath11k: add P2P IE in beacon template")
from Feb 28, 2024 (linux-next), leads to the following Smatch static
checker warning:
drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/wmi.c:1742 ath11k_wmi_p2p_go_bcn_ie()
warn: sleeping in atomic context
The reason is that ath11k_bcn_tx_status_event() will directly call might
sleep function ath11k_wmi_cmd_send() during RCU read-side critical
sections. The call trace is like:
ath11k_bcn_tx_status_event()
-> rcu_read_lock()
-> ath11k_mac_bcn_tx_event()
-> ath11k_mac_setup_bcn_tmpl()
……
-> ath11k_wmi_bcn_tmpl()
-> ath11k_wmi_cmd_send()
-> rcu_read_unlock()
Commit 886433a98425 ("ath11k: add support for BSS color change") added the
ath11k_mac_bcn_tx_event(), commit 01e782c89108 ("ath11k: fix warning
of RCU usage for ath11k_mac_get_arvif_by_vdev_id()") added the RCU lock
to avoid warning but also introduced this BUG.
Use work queue to avoid directly calling ath11k_mac_bcn_tx_event()
during RCU critical sections. No need to worry about the deletion of vif
because cancel_work_sync() will drop the work if it doesn't start or
block vif deletion until the running work is done.

jfs: fix out-of-bounds in dbNextAG() and diAlloc()
In dbNextAG() , there is no check for the case where bmp->db_numag is
greater or same than MAXAG due to a polluted image, which causes an
out-of-bounds. Therefore, a bounds check should be added in dbMount().
And in dbNextAG(), a check for the case where agpref is greater than
bmp->db_numag should be added, so an out-of-bounds exception should be
prevented.
Additionally, a check for the case where agno is greater or same than
MAXAG should be added in diAlloc() to prevent out-of-bounds. |

drm/amd/display: Add null check for set_output_gamma in dcn30_set_output_transfer_func
This commit adds a null check for the set_output_gamma function pointer
in the dcn30_set_output_transfer_func function. Previously,
set_output_gamma was being checked for nullity at line 386, but then it
was being dereferenced without any nullity check at line 401. This
could potentially lead to a null pointer dereference error if
set_output_gamma is indeed null.
To fix this, we now ensure that set_output_gamma is not null before
dereferencing it. We do this by adding a nullity check for
set_output_gamma before the call to set_output_gamma at line 401. If
set_output_gamma is null, we log an error message and do not call the
function.
This fix prevents a potential null pointer dereference error.

Clearly, the kvm_vcpu_write_guest() function is crashing because it is
being called from kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() upon guest tear down.
To address the above issue, simplify the kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() to
not zero-out PMU snapshot area from kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() because
the guest is anyway being tore down.
The kvm_pmu_clear_snapshot_area() is also called when guest changes
PMU snapshot area of a VCPU but even in this case the previous PMU
snaphsot area must not be zeroed-out because the guest might have
reclaimed the pervious PMU snapshot area for some other purpose. |
