| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LSM: general protection fault in legacy_parse_param
The usual LSM hook "bail on fail" scheme doesn't work for cases where
a security module may return an error code indicating that it does not
recognize an input. In this particular case Smack sees a mount option
that it recognizes, and returns 0. A call to a BPF hook follows, which
returns -ENOPARAM, which confuses the caller because Smack has processed
its data.
The SELinux hook incorrectly returns 1 on success. There was a time
when this was correct, however the current expectation is that it
return 0 on success. This is repaired. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memstick/mspro_block: fix handling of read-only devices
Use set_disk_ro to propagate the read-only state to the block layer
instead of checking for it in ->open and leaking a reference in case
of a read-only device. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM: core: keep irq flags in device_pm_check_callbacks()
The function device_pm_check_callbacks() can be called under the spin
lock (in the reported case it happens from genpd_add_device() ->
dev_pm_domain_set(), when the genpd uses spinlocks rather than mutexes.
However this function uncoditionally uses spin_lock_irq() /
spin_unlock_irq(), thus not preserving the CPU flags. Use the
irqsave/irqrestore instead.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix ext4_mb_mark_bb() with flex_bg with fast_commit
In case of flex_bg feature (which is by default enabled), extents for
any given inode might span across blocks from two different block group.
ext4_mb_mark_bb() only reads the buffer_head of block bitmap once for the
starting block group, but it fails to read it again when the extent length
boundary overflows to another block group. Then in this below loop it
accesses memory beyond the block group bitmap buffer_head and results
into a data abort.
for (i = 0; i < clen; i++)
if (!mb_test_bit(blkoff + i, bitmap_bh->b_data) == !state)
already++;
This patch adds this functionality for checking block group boundary in
ext4_mb_mark_bb() and update the buffer_head(bitmap_bh) for every different
block group.
w/o this patch, I was easily able to hit a data access abort using Power platform.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: Fix non-access data TLB cache flush faults
When a page is not present, we get non-access data TLB faults from
the fdc and fic instructions in flush_user_dcache_range_asm and
flush_user_icache_range_asm. When these occur, the cache line is
not invalidated and potentially we get memory corruption. The
problem was hidden by the nullification of the flush instructions.
These faults also affect performance. With pa8800/pa8900 processors,
there will be 32 faults per 4 KB page since the cache line is 128
bytes. There will be more faults with earlier processors.
The problem is fixed by using flush_cache_pages(). It does the flush
using a tmp alias mapping.
The flush_cache_pages() call in flush_cache_range() flushed too
large a range.
V2: Remove unnecessary preempt_disable() and preempt_enable() calls. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: don't BUG if someone dirty pages without asking ext4 first
[un]pin_user_pages_remote is dirtying pages without properly warning
the file system in advance. A related race was noted by Jan Kara in
2018[1]; however, more recently instead of it being a very hard-to-hit
race, it could be reliably triggered by process_vm_writev(2) which was
discovered by Syzbot[2].
This is technically a bug in mm/gup.c, but arguably ext4 is fragile in
that if some other kernel subsystem dirty pages without properly
notifying the file system using page_mkwrite(), ext4 will BUG, while
other file systems will not BUG (although data will still be lost).
So instead of crashing with a BUG, issue a warning (since there may be
potential data loss) and just mark the page as clean to avoid
unprivileged denial of service attacks until the problem can be
properly fixed. More discussion and background can be found in the
thread starting at [2].

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: do not clean up repair bio if submit fails
The submit helper will always run bio_endio() on the bio if it fails to
submit, so cleaning up the bio just leads to a variety of use-after-free
and NULL pointer dereference bugs because we race with the endio
function that is cleaning up the bio. Instead just return BLK_STS_OK as
the repair function has to continue to process the rest of the pages,
and the endio for the repair bio will do the appropriate cleanup for the
page that it was given. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs: add sanity check on allocation size
ntfs_read_inode_mount invokes ntfs_malloc_nofs with zero allocation
size. It triggers one BUG in the __ntfs_malloc function.
Fix this by adding sanity check on ni->attr_list_size. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: fix null ptr deref on hci_sync_conn_complete_evt
This event is just specified for SCO and eSCO link types.
On the reception of a HCI_Synchronous_Connection_Complete for a BDADDR
of an existing LE connection, LE link type and a status that triggers the
second case of the packet processing a NULL pointer dereference happens,
as conn->link is NULL. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: hci_event: Ignore multiple conn complete events
When one of the three connection complete events is received multiple
times for the same handle, the device is registered multiple times which
leads to memory corruptions. Therefore, consequent events for a single
connection are ignored.
The conn->state can hold different values, therefore HCI_CONN_HANDLE_UNSET
is introduced to identify new connections. To make sure the events do not
contain this or another invalid handle HCI_CONN_HANDLE_MAX and checks
are introduced.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum: Guard against invalid local ports
When processing events generated by the device's firmware, the driver
protects itself from events reported for non-existent local ports, but
not for the CPU port (local port 0), which exists, but does not have all
the fields as any local port.
This can result in a NULL pointer dereference when trying access
'struct mlxsw_sp_port' fields which are not initialized for CPU port.
Commit 63b08b1f6834 ("mlxsw: spectrum: Protect driver from buggy firmware")
already handled such issue by bailing early when processing a PUDE event
reported for the CPU port.
Generalize the approach by moving the check to a common function and
making use of it in all relevant places. |

x86/mce: Work around an erratum on fast string copy instructions
A rare kernel panic scenario can happen when the following conditions
are met due to an erratum on fast string copy instructions:
1) An uncorrected error.
2) That error must be in first cache line of a page.
3) Kernel must execute page_copy from the page immediately before that
page.
The fast string copy instructions ("REP; MOVS*") could consume an
uncorrectable memory error in the cache line _right after_ the desired
region to copy and raise an MCE.
Bit 0 of MSR_IA32_MISC_ENABLE can be cleared to disable fast string
copy and will avoid such spurious machine checks. However, that is less
preferable due to the permanent performance impact. Considering memory
poison is rare, it's desirable to keep fast string copy enabled until an
MCE is seen.
Intel has confirmed the following:
1. The CPU erratum of fast string copy only applies to Skylake,
Cascade Lake and Cooper Lake generations.
Directly return from the MCE handler:
2. Will result in complete execution of the "REP; MOVS*" with no data
loss or corruption.
3. Will not result in another MCE firing on the next poisoned cache line
due to "REP; MOVS*".
4. Will resume execution from a correct point in code.
5. Will result in the same instruction that triggered the MCE firing a
second MCE immediately for any other software recoverable data fetch
errors.
6. Is not safe without disabling the fast string copy, as the next fast
string copy of the same buffer on the same CPU would result in a PANIC
MCE.
This should mitigate the erratum completely with the only caveat that
the fast string copy is disabled on the affected hyper thread thus
performance degradation.
This is still better than the OS crashing on MCEs raised on an
irrelevant process due to "REP; MOVS*' accesses in a kernel context,
e.g., copy_page.
Injected errors on 1st cache line of 8 anonymous pages of process
'proc1' and observed MCE consumption from 'proc2' with no panic
(directly returned).
Without the fix, the host panicked within a few minutes on a
random 'proc2' process due to kernel access from copy_page.

dm ioctl: prevent potential spectre v1 gadget
It appears like cmd could be a Spectre v1 gadget as it's supplied by a
user and used as an array index. Prevent the contents of kernel memory

In pm8001_chip_set_dev_state_req(), pm8001_chip_fw_flash_update_req(),
pm80xx_chip_phy_ctl_req() and pm8001_chip_reg_dev_req() add missing calls
to pm8001_tag_free() to free the allocated tag when pm8001_mpi_build_cmd()
fails.
Similarly, in pm8001_exec_internal_task_abort(), if the chip ->task_abort
method fails, the tag allocated for the abort request task must be
freed. Add the missing call to pm8001_tag_free(). |
