CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: drop secpath at the same time as we currently drop dst
Xiumei reported hitting the WARN in xfrm6_tunnel_net_exit while
running tests that boil down to:
- create a pair of netns
- run a basic TCP test over ipcomp6
- delete the pair of netns
The xfrm_state found on spi_byaddr was not deleted at the time we
delete the netns, because we still have a reference on it. This
lingering reference comes from a secpath (which holds a ref on the
xfrm_state), which is still attached to an skb. This skb is not
leaked, it ends up on sk_receive_queue and then gets defer-free'd by
skb_attempt_defer_free.
The problem happens when we defer freeing an skb (push it on one CPU's
defer_list), and don't flush that list before the netns is deleted. In
that case, we still have a reference on the xfrm_state that we don't
expect at this point.
We already drop the skb's dst in the TCP receive path when it's no
longer needed, so let's also drop the secpath. At this point,
tcp_filter has already called into the LSM hooks that may require the
secpath, so it should not be needed anymore. However, in some of those
places, the MPTCP extension has just been attached to the skb, so we
cannot simply drop all extensions. |

If drop_monitor is built as a kernel module, syzkaller may have time
to send a netlink NET_DM_CMD_START message during the module loading.
This will call the net_dm_monitor_start() function that uses
a spinlock that has not yet been initialized.
To fix this, let's place resource initialization above the registration
of a generic netlink family.
Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: gadget: f_midi: f_midi_complete to call queue_work
When using USB MIDI, a lock is attempted to be acquired twice through a
re-entrant call to f_midi_transmit, causing a deadlock.
Fix it by using queue_work() to schedule the inner f_midi_transmit() via
a high priority work queue from the completion handler. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: Fix use-after-free in geneve_find_dev().
syzkaller reported a use-after-free in geneve_find_dev() [0]
without repro.
geneve_configure() links struct geneve_dev.next to
net_generic(net, geneve_net_id)->geneve_list.
The net here could differ from dev_net(dev) if IFLA_NET_NS_PID,
IFLA_NET_NS_FD, or IFLA_TARGET_NETNSID is set.
When dev_net(dev) is dismantled, geneve_exit_batch_rtnl() finally
calls unregister_netdevice_queue() for each dev in the netns,
and later the dev is freed.
However, its geneve_dev.next is still linked to the backend UDP
socket netns.
Then, use-after-free will occur when another geneve dev is created
in the netns.
Let's call geneve_dellink() instead in geneve_destroy_tunnels().

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfp: bpf: Add check for nfp_app_ctrl_msg_alloc()
Add check for the return value of nfp_app_ctrl_msg_alloc() in
nfp_bpf_cmsg_alloc() to prevent null pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
acct: perform last write from workqueue
In [1] it was reported that the acct(2) system call can be used to
trigger NULL deref in cases where it is set to write to a file that
triggers an internal lookup. This can e.g., happen when pointing acc(2)
to /sys/power/resume. At the point the where the write to this file
happens the calling task has already exited and called exit_fs(). A
lookup will thus trigger a NULL-deref when accessing current->fs.
Reorganize the code so that the the final write happens from the
workqueue but with the caller's credentials. This preserves the
(strange) permission model and has almost no regression risk.
This api should stop to exist though. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: Add check for next_buffer in receive_encrypted_standard()
Add check for the return value of cifs_buf_get() and cifs_small_buf_get()
in receive_encrypted_standard() to prevent null pointer dereference. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: f_midi: fix MIDI Streaming descriptor lengths
While the MIDI jacks are configured correctly, and the MIDIStreaming
endpoint descriptors are filled with the correct information,
bNumEmbMIDIJack and bLength are set incorrectly in these descriptors.
This does not matter when the numbers of in and out ports are equal, but
when they differ the host will receive broken descriptors with
uninitialized stack memory leaking into the descriptor for whichever
value is smaller.
The precise meaning of "in" and "out" in the port counts is not clearly
defined and can be confusing. But elsewhere the driver consistently
uses this to match the USB meaning of IN and OUT viewed from the host,
so that "in" ports send data to the host and "out" ports receive data
from it. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: reject mismatching sum of field_len with set key length
The field length description provides the length of each separated key
field in the concatenation, each field gets rounded up to 32-bits to
calculate the pipapo rule width from pipapo_init(). The set key length
provides the total size of the key aligned to 32-bits.
Register-based arithmetics still allows for combining mismatching set
key length and field length description, eg. set key length 10 and field
description [ 5, 4 ] leading to pipapo width of 12. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptp: Ensure info->enable callback is always set
The ioctl and sysfs handlers unconditionally call the ->enable callback.
Not all drivers implement that callback, leading to NULL dereferences.
Example of affected drivers: ptp_s390.c, ptp_vclock.c and ptp_mock.c.
Instead use a dummy callback if no better was specified by the driver. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: let net.core.dev_weight always be non-zero
The following problem was encountered during stability test:
(NULL net_device): NAPI poll function process_backlog+0x0/0x530 \

The reproduction command is as follows:
sysctl -w net.core.dev_weight=0
ping 127.0.0.1
This is because when the napi's weight is set to 0, process_backlog() may
return 0 and clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit of napi->state, causing this
napi to be re-polled in net_rx_action() until __do_softirq() times out.
Since the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit has been cleared, napi_schedule_rps() can
be retriggered in enqueue_to_backlog(), causing this issue.
Making the napi's weight always non-zero solves this problem.
Triggering this issue requires system-wide admin (setting is
not namespaced). |

| libcaca is a colour ASCII art library. In 0.99.beta20 and earlier, an integer overflow vulnerability in libcaca's canvas import functionality allows an attacker to cause a controlled heap out-of-bounds write (heap overflow) by supplying a crafted file in the "caca" format. Depending on the build configuration and memory allocator, this may lead to memory corruption or remote code execution. This is the same vulnerability as CVE-2021-3410 but the fix at that time was not fully correct. Commit fb77acff9ba6bb01d53940da34fb10f20b156a23 fixes this vulnerability. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: fix hang in nfsd4_shutdown_callback
If nfs4_client is in courtesy state then there is no point to send
the callback. This causes nfsd4_shutdown_callback to hang since
cl_cb_inflight is not 0. This hang lasts about 15 minutes until TCP
notifies NFSD that the connection was dropped.
This patch modifies nfsd4_run_cb_work to skip the RPC call if
nfs4_client is in courtesy state. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
USB: hub: Ignore non-compliant devices with too many configs or interfaces
Robert Morris created a test program which can cause
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() to dereference a NULL or inappropriate
pointer:

The cause of this error is that the device has two interfaces, and the
hub driver binds to interface 1 instead of interface 0, which is where
usb_hub_to_struct_hub() looks.
We can prevent the problem from occurring by refusing to accept hub
devices that violate the USB spec by having more than one
configuration or interface. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
partitions: mac: fix handling of bogus partition table
Fix several issues in partition probing:
- The bailout for a bad partoffset must use put_dev_sector(), since the
preceding read_part_sector() succeeded.
- If the partition table claims a silly sector size like 0xfff bytes
(which results in partition table entries straddling sector boundaries),
bail out instead of accessing out-of-bounds memory.
- We must not assume that the partition table contains proper NUL
termination - use strnlen() and strncmp() instead of strlen() and
strcmp(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clocksource: Use migrate_disable() to avoid calling get_random_u32() in atomic context
The following bug report happened with a PREEMPT_RT kernel:
BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/spinlock_rt.c:48
in_atomic(): 1, irqs_disabled(): 0, non_block: 0, pid: 2012, name: kwatchdog
preempt_count: 1, expected: 0
RCU nest depth: 0, expected: 0

clocksource_verify_choose_cpus+0xab/0x1a0
clocksource_verify_percpu.part.0+0x6b/0x330
clocksource_watchdog_kthread+0x193/0x1a0
It is due to the fact that clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() is invoked with
preemption disabled. This function invokes get_random_u32() to obtain
random numbers for choosing CPUs. The batched_entropy_32 local lock and/or
the base_crng.lock spinlock in driver/char/random.c will be acquired during
the call. In PREEMPT_RT kernel, they are both sleeping locks and so cannot
be acquired in atomic context.
Fix this problem by using migrate_disable() to allow smp_processor_id() to
be reliably used without introducing atomic context. preempt_disable() is
then called after clocksource_verify_choose_cpus() but before the
clocksource measurement is being run to avoid introducing unexpected
latency. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv4: use RCU protection in __ip_rt_update_pmtu()
__ip_rt_update_pmtu() must use RCU protection to make
sure the net structure it reads does not disappear. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipv6: use RCU protection in ip6_default_advmss()
ip6_default_advmss() needs rcu protection to make
sure the net structure it reads does not disappear. |
