| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: stream: purge sk_error_queue in sk_stream_kill_queues()
Changheon Lee reported TCP socket leaks, with a nice repro.
It seems we leak TCP sockets with the following sequence:
1) SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_ACK is enabled on the socket.
Each ACK will cook an skb put in error queue, from __skb_tstamp_tx().
__skb_tstamp_tx() is using skb_clone(), unless
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY was also requested.
2) If the application is also using MSG_ZEROCOPY, then we put in the
error queue cloned skbs that had a struct ubuf_info attached to them.
Whenever an struct ubuf_info is allocated, sock_zerocopy_alloc()
does a sock_hold().
As long as the cloned skbs are still in sk_error_queue,
socket refcount is kept elevated.
3) Application closes the socket, while error queue is not empty.
Since tcp_close() no longer purges the socket error queue,
we might end up with a TCP socket with at least one skb in
error queue keeping the socket alive forever.
This bug can be (ab)used to consume all kernel memory
and freeze the host.
We need to purge the error queue, with proper synchronization
against concurrent writers. |

ext4: fix inode leak in ext4_xattr_inode_create() on an error path
There is issue as follows when do setxattr with inject fault:
[localhost]# fsck.ext4 -fn /dev/sda
e2fsck 1.46.6-rc1 (12-Sep-2022)
Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes

/dev/sda: ********** WARNING: Filesystem still has errors **********
/dev/sda: 15/655360 files (0.0% non-contiguous), 66755/2621440 blocks
This occurs in 'ext4_xattr_inode_create()'. If 'ext4_mark_inode_dirty()'
fails, dropping i_nlink of the inode is needed. Or will lead to inode leak. |

nilfs2: fix shift-out-of-bounds due to too large exponent of block size
If field s_log_block_size of superblock data is corrupted and too large,
init_nilfs() and load_nilfs() still can trigger a shift-out-of-bounds
warning followed by a kernel panic (if panic_on_warn is set):
shift exponent 38973 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'

fs/ntfs3: Fix slab-out-of-bounds in r_page
When PAGE_SIZE is 64K, if read_log_page is called by log_read_rst for
the first time, the size of *buffer would be equal to
DefaultLogPageSize(4K).But for *buffer operations like memcpy,
if the memory area size(n) which being assigned to buffer is larger
than 4K (log->page_size(64K) or bytes(64K-page_off)), it will cause
an out of boundary error.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igc: Fix Kernel Panic during ndo_tx_timeout callback
The Xeon validation group has been carrying out some loaded tests
with various HW configurations, and they have seen some transmit
queue time out happening during the test. This will cause the
reset adapter function to be called by igc_tx_timeout().
Similar race conditions may arise when the interface is being brought
down and up in igc_reinit_locked(), an interrupt being generated, and
igc_clean_tx_irq() being called to complete the TX.
When the igc_tx_timeout() function is invoked, this patch will turn
off all TX ring HW queues during igc_down() process. TX ring HW queues
will be activated again during the igc_configure_tx_ring() process
when performing the igc_up() procedure later.
This patch also moved existing igc_disable_tx_ring_hw() to avoid using
forward declaration.

rxrpc: Fix timeout of a call that hasn't yet been granted a channel
afs_make_call() calls rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() to begin a call (which may
get stalled in the background waiting for a connection to become
available); it then calls rxrpc_kernel_set_max_life() to set the timeouts -
but that starts the call timer so the call timer might then expire before
we get a connection assigned - leading to the following oops if the call
stalled:

Fix this by noting the timeouts in struct rxrpc_call when the call is
created. The timer will be started when the first packet is transmitted.
It shouldn't be possible to trigger this directly from userspace through
AF_RXRPC as sendmsg() will return EBUSY if the call is in the
waiting-for-conn state if it dropped out of the wait due to a signal. |

block: fix blktrace debugfs entries leakage
Commit 99d055b4fd4b ("block: remove per-disk debugfs files in
blk_unregister_queue") moves blk_trace_shutdown() from
blk_release_queue() to blk_unregister_queue(), this is safe if blktrace
is created through sysfs, however, there is a regression in corner
case.
blktrace can still be enabled after del_gendisk() through ioctl if
the disk is opened before del_gendisk(), and if blktrace is not shutdown
through ioctl before closing the disk, debugfs entries will be leaked.
Fix this problem by shutdown blktrace in disk_release(), this is safe
because blk_trace_remove() is reentrant. |

netfilter: nf_tables: always release netdev hooks from notifier
This reverts "netfilter: nf_tables: skip netdev events generated on netns removal".
The problem is that when a veth device is released, the veth release
callback will also queue the peer netns device for removal.
Its possible that the peer netns is also slated for removal. In this
case, the device memory is already released before the pre_exit hook of
the peer netns runs:

RDMA/efa: Fix wrong resources deallocation order
When trying to destroy QP or CQ, we first decrease the refcount and
potentially free memory regions allocated for the object and then
request the device to destroy the object. If the device fails, the
object isn't fully destroyed so the user/IB core can try to destroy the
object again which will lead to underflow when trying to decrease an
already zeroed refcount.
Deallocate resources in reverse order of allocating them to safely free
them. |

ov5675_init_controls() won't clean all the allocated resources in fail
path, which may causes the memleaks. Add v4l2_ctrl_handler_free() to
prevent memleak. |

Bluetooth: hci_sync: Avoid use-after-free in dbg for hci_remove_adv_monitor()
KASAN reports that there's a use-after-free in
hci_remove_adv_monitor(). Trawling through the disassembly, you can
see that the complaint is from the access in bt_dev_dbg() under the
HCI_ADV_MONITOR_EXT_MSFT case. The problem case happens because
msft_remove_monitor() can end up freeing the monitor
structure. Specifically:
hci_remove_adv_monitor() ->
msft_remove_monitor() ->
msft_remove_monitor_sync() ->
msft_le_cancel_monitor_advertisement_cb() ->
hci_free_adv_monitor()
Let's fix the problem by just stashing the relevant data when it's
still valid. |

serial: 8250: Fix oops for port->pm on uart_change_pm()
Unloading a hardware specific 8250 driver can produce error "Unable to
handle kernel paging request at virtual address" about ten seconds after
unloading the driver. This happens on uart_hangup() calling
uart_change_pm().
Turns out commit 04e82793f068 ("serial: 8250: Reinit port->pm on port
specific driver unbind") was only a partial fix. If the hardware specific
driver has initialized port->pm function, we need to clear port->pm too.
Just reinitializing port->ops does not do this. Otherwise serial8250_pm()
will call port->pm() instead of serial8250_do_pm(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: imx93: fix memory leak and missing unwind goto in imx93_clocks_probe
In function probe(), it returns directly without unregistered hws
when error occurs.
Fix this by adding 'goto unregister_hws;' on line 295 and
line 310.
Use devm_kzalloc() instead of kzalloc() to automatically
free the memory using devm_kfree() when error occurs.
Replace of_iomap() with devm_of_iomap() to automatically
handle the unused ioremap region and delete 'iounmap(anatop_base);'
in unregister_hws. |

net: ipa: only reset hashed tables when supported
Last year, the code that manages GSI channel transactions switched
from using spinlock-protected linked lists to using indexes into the
ring buffer used for a channel. Recently, Google reported seeing
transaction reference count underflows occasionally during shutdown.
Doug Anderson found a way to reproduce the issue reliably, and
bisected the issue to the commit that eliminated the linked lists
and the lock. The root cause was ultimately determined to be
related to unused transactions being committed as part of the modem
shutdown cleanup activity. Unused transactions are not normally
expected (except in error cases).
The modem uses some ranges of IPA-resident memory, and whenever it
shuts down we zero those ranges. In ipa_filter_reset_table() a
transaction is allocated to zero modem filter table entries. If
hashing is not supported, hashed table memory should not be zeroed.
But currently nothing prevents that, and the result is an unused
transaction. Something similar occurs when we zero routing table
entries for the modem.
By preventing any attempt to clear hashed tables when hashing is not
supported, the reference count underflow is avoided in this case.
Note that there likely remains an issue with properly freeing unused
transactions (if they occur due to errors). This patch addresses
only the underflows that Google originally reported. |
