| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
skbuff: fix coalescing for page_pool fragment recycling
Fix a use-after-free when using page_pool with page fragments. We
encountered this problem during normal RX in the hns3 driver:
(1) Initially we have three descriptors in the RX queue. The first one
allocates PAGE1 through page_pool, and the other two allocate one
half of PAGE2 each. Page references look like this:
RX_BD1 _______ PAGE1
RX_BD2 _______ PAGE2
RX_BD3 _________/
(2) Handle RX on the first descriptor. Allocate SKB1, eventually added
to the receive queue by tcp_queue_rcv().
(3) Handle RX on the second descriptor. Allocate SKB2 and pass it to
netif_receive_skb():
netif_receive_skb(SKB2)
ip_rcv(SKB2)
SKB3 = skb_clone(SKB2)
SKB2 and SKB3 share a reference to PAGE2 through
skb_shinfo()->dataref. The other ref to PAGE2 is still held by
RX_BD3:
SKB2 ---+- PAGE2
SKB3 __/ /
RX_BD3 _________/
(3b) Now while handling TCP, coalesce SKB3 with SKB1:
tcp_v4_rcv(SKB3)
tcp_try_coalesce(to=SKB1, from=SKB3) // succeeds
kfree_skb_partial(SKB3)
skb_release_data(SKB3) // drops one dataref
SKB1 _____ PAGE1
\____
SKB2 _____ PAGE2
/
RX_BD3 _________/
In skb_try_coalesce(), __skb_frag_ref() takes a page reference to
PAGE2, where it should instead have increased the page_pool frag
reference, pp_frag_count. Without coalescing, when releasing both
SKB2 and SKB3, a single reference to PAGE2 would be dropped. Now
when releasing SKB1 and SKB2, two references to PAGE2 will be
dropped, resulting in underflow.
(3c) Drop SKB2:
af_packet_rcv(SKB2)
consume_skb(SKB2)
skb_release_data(SKB2) // drops second dataref
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE2) // drops one pp_frag_count
SKB1 _____ PAGE1
\____
PAGE2
/
RX_BD3 _________/
(4) Userspace calls recvmsg()
Copies SKB1 and releases it. Since SKB3 was coalesced with SKB1, we
release the SKB3 page as well:
tcp_eat_recv_skb(SKB1)
skb_release_data(SKB1)
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE1)
page_pool_return_skb_page(PAGE2) // drops second pp_frag_count
(5) PAGE2 is freed, but the third RX descriptor was still using it!
In our case this causes IOMMU faults, but it would silently corrupt
memory if the IOMMU was disabled.
Change the logic that checks whether pp_recycle SKBs can be coalesced.
We still reject differing pp_recycle between 'from' and 'to' SKBs, but
in order to avoid the situation described above, we also reject
coalescing when both 'from' and 'to' are pp_recycled and 'from' is
cloned.
The new logic allows coalescing a cloned pp_recycle SKB into a page
refcounted one, because in this case the release (4) will drop the right
reference, the one taken by skb_try_coalesce(). |

cifs: potential buffer overflow in handling symlinks
Smatch printed a warning:
arch/x86/crypto/poly1305_glue.c:198 poly1305_update_arch() error:
__memcpy() 'dctx->buf' too small (16 vs u32max)
It's caused because Smatch marks 'link_len' as untrusted since it comes
from sscanf(). Add a check to ensure that 'link_len' is not larger than
the size of the 'link_str' buffer. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/khugepaged: invoke MMU notifiers in shmem/file collapse paths
Any codepath that zaps page table entries must invoke MMU notifiers to
ensure that secondary MMUs (like KVM) don't keep accessing pages which
aren't mapped anymore. Secondary MMUs don't hold their own references to
pages that are mirrored over, so failing to notify them can lead to page
use-after-free.
I'm marking this as addressing an issue introduced in commit f3f0e1d2150b
("khugepaged: add support of collapse for tmpfs/shmem pages"), but most of
the security impact of this only came in commit 27e1f8273113 ("khugepaged:
enable collapse pmd for pte-mapped THP"), which actually omitted flushes
for the removal of present PTEs, not just for the removal of empty page
tables. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fscache: Fix oops due to race with cookie_lru and use_cookie
If a cookie expires from the LRU and the LRU_DISCARD flag is set, but
the state machine has not run yet, it's possible another thread can call
fscache_use_cookie and begin to use it.
When the cookie_worker finally runs, it will see the LRU_DISCARD flag
set, transition the cookie->state to LRU_DISCARDING, which will then
withdraw the cookie. Once the cookie is withdrawn the object is removed
the below oops will occur because the object associated with the cookie
is now NULL.
Fix the oops by clearing the LRU_DISCARD bit if another thread uses the
cookie before the cookie_worker runs.

memcg: fix possible use-after-free in memcg_write_event_control()
memcg_write_event_control() accesses the dentry->d_name of the specified
control fd to route the write call. As a cgroup interface file can't be
renamed, it's safe to access d_name as long as the specified file is a
regular cgroup file. Also, as these cgroup interface files can't be
removed before the directory, it's safe to access the parent too.
Prior to 347c4a874710 ("memcg: remove cgroup_event->cft"), there was a
call to __file_cft() which verified that the specified file is a regular
cgroupfs file before further accesses. The cftype pointer returned from
__file_cft() was no longer necessary and the commit inadvertently dropped
the file type check with it allowing any file to slip through. With the
invarients broken, the d_name and parent accesses can now race against
renames and removals of arbitrary files and cause use-after-free's.
Fix the bug by resurrecting the file type check in __file_cft(). Now that
cgroupfs is implemented through kernfs, checking the file operations needs
to go through a layer of indirection. Instead, let's check the superblock
and dentry type. |

KVM: x86/mmu: make apf token non-zero to fix bug
In current async pagefault logic, when a page is ready, KVM relies on
kvm_arch_can_dequeue_async_page_present() to determine whether to deliver
a READY event to the Guest. This function test token value of struct
kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data, which must be reset to zero by Guest kernel when a
READY event is finished by Guest. If value is zero meaning that a READY
event is done, so the KVM can deliver another.
But the kvm_arch_setup_async_pf() may produce a valid token with zero
value, which is confused with previous mention and may lead the loss of
this READY event.
This bug may cause task blocked forever in Guest:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Fix NFSv3 SETATTR/CREATE's handling of large file sizes
iattr::ia_size is a loff_t, so these NFSv3 procedures must be
careful to deal with incoming client size values that are larger
than s64_max without corrupting the value.
Silently capping the value results in storing a different value
than the client passed in which is unexpected behavior, so remove
the min_t() check in decode_sattr3().
Note that RFC 1813 permits only the WRITE procedure to return
NFS3ERR_FBIG. We believe that NFSv3 reference implementations
also return NFS3ERR_FBIG when ia_size is too large. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Fix ia_size underflow
iattr::ia_size is a loff_t, which is a signed 64-bit type. NFSv3 and
NFSv4 both define file size as an unsigned 64-bit type. Thus there
is a range of valid file size values an NFS client can send that is
already larger than Linux can handle.
Currently decode_fattr4() dumps a full u64 value into ia_size. If
that value happens to be larger than S64_MAX, then ia_size
underflows. I'm about to fix up the NFSv3 behavior as well, so let's
catch the underflow in the common code path: nfsd_setattr(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Fix the behavior of READ near OFFSET_MAX
Dan Aloni reports:
> Due to commit 8cfb9015280d ("NFS: Always provide aligned buffers to
> the RPC read layers") on the client, a read of 0xfff is aligned up
> to server rsize of 0x1000.
>
> As a result, in a test where the server has a file of size
> 0x7fffffffffffffff, and the client tries to read from the offset
> 0x7ffffffffffff000, the read causes loff_t overflow in the server
> and it returns an NFS code of EINVAL to the client. The client as
> a result indefinitely retries the request.
The Linux NFS client does not handle NFS?ERR_INVAL, even though all
NFS specifications permit servers to return that status code for a
READ.
Instead of NFS?ERR_INVAL, have out-of-range READ requests succeed
and return a short result. Set the EOF flag in the result to prevent
the client from retrying the READ request. This behavior appears to
be consistent with Solaris NFS servers.
Note that NFSv3 and NFSv4 use u64 offset values on the wire. These
must be converted to loff_t internally before use -- an implicit
type cast is not adequate for this purpose. Otherwise VFS checks
against sb->s_maxbytes do not work properly. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
SUNRPC: lock against ->sock changing during sysfs read
->sock can be set to NULL asynchronously unless ->recv_mutex is held.
So it is important to hold that mutex. Otherwise a sysfs read can
trigger an oops.
Commit 17f09d3f619a ("SUNRPC: Check if the xprt is connected before
handling sysfs reads") appears to attempt to fix this problem, but it
only narrows the race window. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: remove vsock from connected table when connect is interrupted by a signal
vsock_connect() expects that the socket could already be in the
TCP_ESTABLISHED state when the connecting task wakes up with a signal
pending. If this happens the socket will be in the connected table, and
it is not removed when the socket state is reset. In this situation it's
common for the process to retry connect(), and if the connection is
successful the socket will be added to the connected table a second
time, corrupting the list.
Prevent this by calling vsock_remove_connected() if a signal is received
while waiting for a connection. This is harmless if the socket is not in
the connected table, and if it is in the table then removing it will
prevent list corruption from a double add.
Note for backporting: this patch requires d5afa82c977e ("vsock: correct
removal of socket from the list"), which is in all current stable trees
except 4.9.y. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
phylib: fix potential use-after-free
Commit bafbdd527d56 ("phylib: Add device reset GPIO support") added call
to phy_device_reset(phydev) after the put_device() call in phy_detach().
The comment before the put_device() call says that the phydev might go
away with put_device().
Fix potential use-after-free by calling phy_device_reset() before
put_device(). |

net: amd-xgbe: Fix skb data length underflow
There will be BUG_ON() triggered in include/linux/skbuff.h leading to
intermittent kernel panic, when the skb length underflow is detected.
Fix this by dropping the packet if such length underflows are seen

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regmap: spi: Reserve space for register address/padding
Currently the max_raw_read and max_raw_write limits in regmap_spi struct
do not take into account the additional size of the transmitted register
address and padding. This may result in exceeding the maximum permitted
SPI message size, which could cause undefined behaviour, e.g. data
corruption.
Fix regmap_get_spi_bus() to properly adjust the above mentioned limits
by reserving space for the register address/padding as set in the regmap
configuration. |

nvme-tcp: fix UAF when detecting digest errors

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: Fix NULL pointer dereferencing in smc_vlan_by_tcpsk()
Coverity reports a possible NULL dereferencing problem:
in smc_vlan_by_tcpsk():
6. returned_null: netdev_lower_get_next returns NULL (checked 29 out of 30 times).
7. var_assigned: Assigning: ndev = NULL return value from netdev_lower_get_next.
1623 ndev = (struct net_device *)netdev_lower_get_next(ndev, &lower);
CID 1468509 (#1 of 1): Dereference null return value (NULL_RETURNS)
8. dereference: Dereferencing a pointer that might be NULL ndev when calling is_vlan_dev.
1624 if (is_vlan_dev(ndev)) {
Remove the manual implementation and use netdev_walk_all_lower_dev() to
iterate over the lower devices. While on it remove an obsolete function
parameter comment. |
