CVSS v3.1 |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: improve CSA/ECSA connection refusal
As mentioned in the previous commit, we pretty quickly found
that some APs have ECSA elements stuck in their probe response,
so using that to not attempt to connect while CSA is happening
we never connect to such an AP.
Improve this situation by checking more carefully and ignoring
the ECSA if cfg80211 has previously detected the ECSA element
being stuck in the probe response.
Additionally, allow connecting to an AP that's switching to a
channel it's already using, unless it's using quiet mode. In
this case, we may just have to adjust bandwidth later. If it's
actually switching channels, it's better not to try to connect
in the middle of that. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_ct: sanitize layer 3 and 4 protocol number in custom expectations
- Disallow families other than NFPROTO_{IPV4,IPV6,INET}.
- Disallow layer 4 protocol with no ports, since destination port is a
mandatory attribute for this object. |

wifi: mac80211: fix RCU use in TDLS fast-xmit
This looks up the link under RCU protection, but isn't
guaranteed to actually have protection. Fix that. |

The problem appears to be caused by CPU reordering of writes issued from
__tracing_map_insert().
The check for the presence of an element with a given key in this
function is:
val = READ_ONCE(entry->val);
if (val && keys_match(key, val->key, map->key_size)) ...
The write of a new entry is:
elt = get_free_elt(map);
memcpy(elt->key, key, map->key_size);
entry->val = elt;
The "memcpy(elt->key, key, map->key_size);" and "entry->val = elt;"
stores may become visible in the reversed order on another CPU. This
second CPU might then incorrectly determine that a new key doesn't match
an already present val->key and subse

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: add sanity checks to rx zerocopy
TCP rx zerocopy intent is to map pages initially allocated
from NIC drivers, not pages owned by a fs.
This patch adds to can_map_frag() these additional checks:
- Page must not be a compound one.
- page->mapping must be NULL.
This fixes the panic reported by ZhangPeng.
syzbot was able to loopback packets built with sendfile(),
mapping pages owned by an ext4 file to TCP rx zerocopy.

wifi: ath11k: rely on mac80211 debugfs handling for vif
mac80211 started to delete debugfs entries in certain cases, causing a
ath11k to crash when it tried to delete the entries later. Fix this by
relying on mac80211 to delete the entries when appropriate and adding
them from the vif_add_debugfs handler. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
llc: make llc_ui_sendmsg() more robust against bonding changes
syzbot was able to trick llc_ui_sendmsg(), allocating an skb with no
headroom, but subsequently trying to push 14 bytes of Ethernet header [1]
Like some others, llc_ui_sendmsg() releases the socket lock before
calling sock_alloc_send_skb().
Then it acquires it again, but does not redo all the sanity checks
that were performed.
This fix:
- Uses LL_RESERVED_SPACE() to reserve space.
- Check all conditions again after socket lock is held again.
- Do not account Ethernet header for mtu limitation.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: core: Move scsi_host_busy() out of host lock for waking up EH handler
Inside scsi_eh_wakeup(), scsi_host_busy() is called & checked with host
lock every time for deciding if error handler kthread needs to be waken up.
This can be too heavy in case of recovery, such as:
- N hardware queues
- queue depth is M for each hardware queue
- each scsi_host_busy() iterates over (N * M) tag/requests
If recovery is triggered in case that all requests are in-flight, each
scsi_eh_wakeup() is strictly serialized, when scsi_eh_wakeup() is called
for the last in-flight request, scsi_host_busy() has been run for (N * M -
1) times, and request has been iterated for (N*M - 1) * (N * M) times.
If both N and M are big enough, hard lockup can be triggered on acquiring
host lock, and it is observed on mpi3mr(128 hw queues, queue depth 8169).
Fix the issue by calling scsi_host_busy() outside the host lock. We don't
need the host lock for getting busy count because host the lock never
covers that.

mm: huge_memory: don't force huge page alignment on 32 bit
commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") caused two issues [1] [2] reported on 32 bit system or compat
userspace.
It doesn't make too much sense to force huge page alignment on 32 bit
system due to the constrained virtual address space.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/membarrier: reduce the ability to hammer on sys_membarrier
On some systems, sys_membarrier can be very expensive, causing overall
slowdowns for everything. So put a lock on the path in order to
serialize the accesses to prevent the ability for this to be called at
too high of a frequency and saturate the machine. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: regenerate buddy after block freeing failed if under fc replay
This mostly reverts commit 6bd97bf273bd ("ext4: remove redundant
mb_regenerate_buddy()") and reintroduces mb_regenerate_buddy(). Based on
code in mb_free_blocks(), fast commit replay can end up marking as free
blocks that are already marked as such. This causes corruption of the
buddy bitmap so we need to regenerate it in that case. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Sync efi page table's kernel mappings before switching
The EFI page table is initially created as a copy of the kernel page table.
With VMAP_STACK enabled, kernel stacks are allocated in the vmalloc area:
if the stack is allocated in a new PGD (one that was not present at the
moment of the efi page table creation or not synced in a previous vmalloc
fault), the kernel will take a trap when switching to the efi page table
when the vmalloc kernel stack is accessed, resulting in a kernel panic.
Fix that by updating the efi kernel mappings before switching to the efi
page table. |

char: tpm: Protect tpm_pm_suspend with locks
Currently tpm transactions are executed unconditionally in
tpm_pm_suspend() function, which may lead to races with other tpm
accessors in the system.
Specifically, the hw_random tpm driver makes use of tpm_get_random(),
and this function is called in a loop from a kthread, which means it's
not frozen alongside userspace, and so can race with the work done
during system suspend:

mm/damon/sysfs: fix wrong empty schemes assumption under online tuning in damon_sysfs_set_schemes()
Commit da87878010e5 ("mm/damon/sysfs: support online inputs update") made
'damon_sysfs_set_schemes()' to be called for running DAMON context, which
could have schemes. In the case, DAMON sysfs interface is supposed to
update, remove, or add schemes to reflect the sysfs files. However, the
code is assuming the DAMON context wouldn't have schemes at all, and
therefore creates and adds new schemes. As a result, the code doesn't
work as intended for online schemes tuning and could have more than
expected memory footprint. The schemes are all in the DAMON context, so
it doesn't leak the memory, though.
Remove the wrong asssumption (the DAMON context wouldn't have schemes) in
'damon_sysfs_set_schemes()' to fix the bug. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mana: Fix race on per-CQ variable napi work_done
After calling napi_complete_done(), the NAPIF_STATE_SCHED bit may be
cleared, and another CPU can start napi thread and access per-CQ variable,
cq->work_done. If the other thread (for example, from busy_poll) sets
it to a value >= budget, this thread will continue to run when it should
stop, and cause memory corruption and panic.
To fix this issue, save the per-CQ work_done variable in a local variable
before napi_complete_done(), so it won't be corrupted by a possible
concurrent thread after napi_complete_done().
Also, add a flag bit to advertise to the NIC firmware: the NAPI work_done
variable race is fixed, so the driver is able to reliably support features
like busy_poll. |

usb: gadget: rndis: add spinlock for rndis response list
There's no lock for rndis response list. It could cause list corruption
if there're two different list_add at the same time like below.
It's better to add in rndis_add_response / rndis_free_response
/ rndis_get_next_response to prevent any race condition on response list.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ipv6: ensure we call ipv6_mc_down() at most once
There are two reasons for addrconf_notify() to be called with NETDEV_DOWN:
either the network device is actually going down, or IPv6 was disabled
on the interface.
If either of them stays down while the other is toggled, we repeatedly
call the code for NETDEV_DOWN, including ipv6_mc_down(), while never
calling the corresponding ipv6_mc_up() in between. This will cause a
new entry in idev->mc_tomb to be allocated for each multicast group
the interface is subscribed to, which in turn leaks one struct ifmcaddr6
per nontrivial multicast group the interface is subscribed to.
The following reproducer will leak at least $n objects:
ip addr add ff2e::4242/32 dev eth0 autojoin
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.eth0.disable_ipv6=1
for i in $(seq 1 $n); do
ip link set up eth0; ip link set down eth0
done
Joining groups with IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP (unprivileged) or setting the
sysctl net.ipv6.conf.eth0.forwarding to 1 (=> subscribing to ff02::2)
can also be used to create a nontrivial idev->mc_list, which will the
leak objects with the right up-down-sequence.
Based on both sources for NETDEV_DOWN events the interface IPv6 state
should be considered:
- not ready if the network interface is not ready OR IPv6 is disabled
for it
- ready if the network interface is ready AND IPv6 is enabled for it
The functions ipv6_mc_up() and ipv6_down() should only be run when this
state changes.
Implement this by remembering when the IPv6 state is ready, and only
run ipv6_mc_down() if it actually changed from ready to not ready.
The other direction (not ready -> ready) already works correctly, as:
- the interface notification triggered codepath for NETDEV_UP /
NETDEV_CHANGE returns early if ipv6 is disabled, and
- the disable_ipv6=0 triggered codepath skips fully initializing the
interface as long as addrconf_link_ready(dev) returns false
- calling ipv6_mc_up() repeatedly does not leak anything |
