| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Avoid hw_desc array overrun in dw-axi-dmac
I have a use case where nr_buffers = 3 and in which each descriptor is composed by 3
segments, resulting in the DMA channel descs_allocated to be 9. Since axi_desc_put()
handles the hw_desc considering the descs_allocated, this scenario would result in a
kernel panic (hw_desc array will be overrun).
To fix this, the proposal is to add a new member to the axi_dma_desc structure,
where we keep the number of allocated hw_descs (axi_desc_alloc()) and use it in
axi_desc_put() to handle the hw_desc array correctly.
Additionally I propose to remove the axi_chan_start_first_queued() call after completing
the transfer, since it was identified that unbalance can occur (started descriptors can
be interrupted and transfer ignored due to DMA channel not being enabled). |

MIPS: Octeon: Add PCIe link status check
The standard PCIe configuration read-write interface is used to
access the configuration space of the peripheral PCIe devices
of the mips processor after the PCIe link surprise down, it can
generate kernel panic caused by "Data bus error". So it is
necessary to add PCIe link status check for system protection.
When the PCIe link is down or in training, assigning a value
of 0 to the configuration address can prevent read-write behavior
to the configuration space of peripheral PCIe devices, thereby
preventing kernel panic. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: imx: Introduce timeout when waiting on transmitter empty
By waiting at most 1 second for USR2_TXDC to be set, we avoid a potential
deadlock.
In case of the timeout, there is not much we can do, so we simply ignore
the transmitter state and optimistically try to continue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tty: add the option to have a tty reject a new ldisc
... and use it to limit the virtual terminals to just N_TTY. They are
kind of special, and in particular, the "con_write()" routine violates
the "writes cannot sleep" rule that some ldiscs rely on.
This avoids the
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/printk/printk.c:2659
when N_GSM has been attached to a virtual console, and gsmld_write()
calls con_write() while holding a spinlock, and con_write() then tries
to get the console lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: lpi2c: Avoid calling clk_get_rate during transfer
Instead of repeatedly calling clk_get_rate for each transfer, lock
the clock rate and cache the value.
A deadlock has been observed while adding tlv320aic32x4 audio codec to
the system. When this clock provider adds its clock, the clk mutex is
locked already, it needs to access i2c, which in return needs the mutex
for clk_get_rate as well. |

parisc: Try to fix random segmentation faults in package builds
PA-RISC systems with PA8800 and PA8900 processors have had problems
with random segmentation faults for many years. Systems with earlier
processors are much more stable.
Systems with PA8800 and PA8900 processors have a large L2 cache which
needs per page flushing for decent performance when a large range is
flushed. The combined cache in these systems is also more sensitive to
non-equivalent aliases than the caches in earlier systems.
The majority of random segmentation faults that I have looked at
appear to be memory corruption in memory allocated using mmap and
malloc.
My first attempt at fixing the random faults didn't work. On
reviewing the cache code, I realized that there were two issues
which the existing code didn't handle correctly. Both relate
to cache move-in. Another issue is that the present bit in PTEs
is racy.
1) PA-RISC caches have a mind of their own and they can speculatively
load data and instructions for a page as long as there is a entry in
the TLB for the page which allows move-in. TLBs are local to each
CPU. Thus, the TLB entry for a page must be purged before flushing
the page. This is particularly important on SMP systems.
In some of the flush routines, the flush routine would be called
and then the TLB entry would be purged. This was because the flush
routine needed the TLB entry to do the flush.
2) My initial approach to trying the fix the random faults was to
try and use flush_cache_page_if_present for all flush operations.
This actually made things worse and led to a couple of hardware
lockups. It finally dawned on me that some lines weren't being
flushed because the pte check code was racy. This resulted in
random inequivalent mappings to physical pages.
The __flush_cache_page tmpalias flush sets up its own TLB entry
and it doesn't need the existing TLB entry. As long as we can find
the pte pointer for the vm page, we can get the pfn and physical
address of the page. We can also purge the TLB entry for the page
before doing the flush. Further, __flush_cache_page uses a special
TLB entry that inhibits cache move-in.
When switching page mappings, we need to ensure that lines are
removed from the cache. It is not sufficient to just flush the
lines to memory as they may come back.
This made it clear that we needed to implement all the required
flush operations using tmpalias routines. This includes flushes
for user and kernel pages.
After modifying the code to use tmpalias flushes, it became clear
that the random segmentation faults were not fully resolved. The
frequency of faults was worse on systems with a 64 MB L2 (PA8900)
and systems with more CPUs (rp4440).
The warning that I added to flush_cache_page_if_present to detect
pages that couldn't be flushed triggered frequently on some systems.
Helge and I looked at the pages that couldn't be flushed and found
that the PTE was either cleared or for a swap page. Ignoring pages
that were swapped out seemed okay but pages with cleared PTEs seemed
problematic.
I looked at routines related to pte_clear and noticed ptep_clear_flush.
The default implementation just flushes the TLB entry. However, it was
obvious that on parisc we need to flush the cache page as well. If
we don't flush the cache page, stale lines will be left in the cache
and cause random corruption. Once a PTE is cleared, there is no way
to find the physical address associated with the PTE and flush the
associated page at a later time.
I implemented an updated change with a parisc specific version of
ptep_clear_flush. It fixed the random data corruption on Helge's rp4440
and rp3440, as well as on my c8000.
At this point, I realized that I could restore the code where we only
flush in flush_cache_page_if_present if the page has been accessed.
However, for this, we also need to flush the cache when the accessed
bit is cleared in

jfs: xattr: fix buffer overflow for invalid xattr
When an xattr size is not what is expected, it is printed out to the
kernel log in hex format as a form of debugging. But when that xattr
size is bigger than the expected size, printing it out can cause an
access off the end of the buffer.
Fix this all up by properly restricting the size of the debug hex dump
in the kernel log. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
greybus: Fix use-after-free bug in gb_interface_release due to race condition.
In gb_interface_create, &intf->mode_switch_completion is bound with
gb_interface_mode_switch_work. Then it will be started by
gb_interface_request_mode_switch. Here is the relevant code.
if (!queue_work(system_long_wq, &intf->mode_switch_work)) {
...
}
If we call gb_interface_release to make cleanup, there may be an
unfinished work. This function will call kfree to free the object
"intf". However, if gb_interface_mode_switch_work is scheduled to
run after kfree, it may cause use-after-free error as
gb_interface_mode_switch_work will use the object "intf".
The possible execution flow that may lead to the issue is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| gb_interface_create
| gb_interface_request_mode_switch
gb_interface_release |
kfree(intf) (free) |
| gb_interface_mode_switch_work
| mutex_lock(&intf->mutex) (use)
Fix it by canceling the work before kfree. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kdb: Fix buffer overflow during tab-complete
Currently, when the user attempts symbol completion with the Tab key, kdb
will use strncpy() to insert the completed symbol into the command buffer.
Unfortunately it passes the size of the source buffer rather than the
destination to strncpy() with predictably horrible results. Most obviously
if the command buffer is already full but cp, the cursor position, is in
the middle of the buffer, then we will write past the end of the supplied
buffer.
Fix this by replacing the dubious strncpy() calls with memmove()/memcpy()
calls plus explicit boundary checks to make sure we have enough space
before we start moving characters around. |

drm/i915/hwmon: Get rid of devm
When both hwmon and hwmon drvdata (on which hwmon depends) are device
managed resources, the expectation, on device unbind, is that hwmon will be
released before drvdata. However, in i915 there are two separate code
paths, which both release either drvdata or hwmon and either can be
released before the other. These code paths (for device unbind) are as
follows (see also the bug referenced below):

This means that in i915, if use devm, we cannot gurantee that hwmon will
always be released before drvdata. Which means that we have a uaf if hwmon
sysfs is accessed when drvdata has been released but hwmon hasn't.
The only way out of this seems to be do get rid of devm_ and release/free
everything explicitly during device unbind.

ALSA: timer: Set lower bound of start tick time
Currently ALSA timer doesn't have the lower limit of the start tick
time, and it allows a very small size, e.g. 1 tick with 1ns resolution
for hrtimer. Such a situation may lead to an unexpected RCU stall,
where the callback repeatedly queuing the expire update, as reported
by fuzzer.
This patch introduces a sanity check of the timer start tick time, so
that the system returns an error when a too small start size is set.
As of this patch, the lower limit is hard-coded to 100us, which is
small enough but can still work somehow. |

nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer()
Syzbot has reported a potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() called
during nilfs2 unmount.
Analysis revealed that this is because nilfs_segctor_sync(), which
synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after
nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace
below:
nilfs_detach_log_writer
nilfs_segctor_destroy
nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Shut down log writer thread
flush_work
nilfs_iput_work_func
nilfs_dispose_list
iput
nilfs_evict_inode
nilfs_transaction_commit
nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync)
nilfs_segctor_sync --> Attempt to synchronize with
log writer thread
*** DEADLOCK ***
Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log writer
thread returns normally without synchronizing after it terminates, and by
forcing tasks that are already waiting to complete once after the thread
terminates.
The skipped inode metadata flushout will then be processed together in the
subsequent cleanup work in nilfs_segctor_destroy(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
epoll: be better about file lifetimes
epoll can call out to vfs_poll() with a file pointer that may race with
the last 'fput()'. That would make f_count go down to zero, and while
the ep->mtx locking means that the resulting file pointer tear-down will
be blocked until the poll returns, it means that f_count is already
dead, and any use of it won't actually get a reference to the file any
more: it's dead regardless.
Make sure we have a valid ref on the file pointer before we call down to
vfs_poll() from the epoll routines. |

scsi: lpfc: Move NPIV's transport unregistration to after resource clean up
There are cases after NPIV deletion where the fabric switch still believes
the NPIV is logged into the fabric. This occurs when a vport is
unregistered before the Remove All DA_ID CT and LOGO ELS are sent to the
fabric.
Currently fc_remove_host(), which calls dev_loss_tmo for all D_IDs including
the fabric D_ID, removes the last ndlp reference and frees the ndlp rport
object. This sometimes causes the race condition where the final DA_ID and
LOGO are skipped from being sent to the fabric switch.
Fix by moving the fc_remove_host() and scsi_remove_host() calls after DA_ID
and LOGO are sent. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: ohci: mask bus reset interrupts between ISR and bottom half
In the FireWire OHCI interrupt handler, if a bus reset interrupt has
occurred, mask bus reset interrupts until bus_reset_work has serviced and
cleared the interrupt.
Normally, we always leave bus reset interrupts masked. We infer the bus
reset from the self-ID interrupt that happens shortly thereafter. A
scenario where we unmask bus reset interrupts was introduced in 2008 in
a007bb857e0b26f5d8b73c2ff90782d9c0972620: If
OHCI_PARAM_DEBUG_BUSRESETS (8) is set in the debug parameter bitmask, we
will unmask bus reset interrupts so we can log them.
irq_handler logs the bus reset interrupt. However, we can't clear the bus
reset event flag in irq_handler, because we won't service the event until
later. irq_handler exits with the event flag still set. If the
corresponding interrupt is still unmasked, the first bus reset will
usually freeze the system due to irq_handler being called again each
time it exits. This freeze can be reproduced by loading firewire_ohci
with "modprobe firewire_ohci debug=-1" (to enable all debugging output).
Apparently there are also some cases where bus_reset_work will get called
soon enough to clear the event, and operation will continue normally.
This freeze was first reported a few months after a007bb85 was committed,
but until now it was never fixed. The debug level could safely be set
to -1 through sysfs after the module was loaded, but this would be
ineffectual in logging bus reset interrupts since they were only
unmasked during initialization.
irq_handler will now leave the event flag set but mask bus reset
interrupts, so irq_handler won't be called again and there will be no
freeze. If OHCI_PARAM_DEBUG_BUSRESETS is enabled, bus_reset_work will
unmask the interrupt after servicing the event, so future interrupts
will be caught as desired.
As a side effect to this change, OHCI_PARAM_DEBUG_BUSRESETS can now be
enabled through sysfs in addition to during initial module loading.
However, when enabled through sysfs, logging of bus reset interrupts will
be effective only starting with the second bus reset, after
bus_reset_work has executed. |
