| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix heap OOB read in sk_store() and kek_store()
sk_store() and kek_store() strip a trailing newline from the sysfs
write before allocating the key buffer:
length = count;
if (buf[length - 1] == '\n')
length--;
bioscfg_drv.spm_data.signing_key = kmemdup(buf, length, GFP_KERNEL);
but then pass the original "count" (not "length") as the copy size to
hp_wmi_perform_query(), which memcpy()s that many bytes out of the
"length"-sized allocation, reading one byte past it whenever the write
ends in a newline, the normal case for a shell "echo" into sysfs.
KASAN confirms this directly:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in hp_wmi_perform_query+0x1e9/0x460 [hp_bioscfg]
Read of size 28 at addr ffff88813c8e2b80 by task python3/16022
...
sk_store+0xa7/0x240 [hp_bioscfg]
kernfs_fop_write_iter+0x3e1/0x5d0
...
The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of
allocated 27-byte region [ffff88813c8e2b80, ffff88813c8e2b9b)
Reproduced identically for kek_store, and at multiple write sizes
(28, 57, 201 bytes), each time reading exactly one byte past a
kmemdup() allocation one byte smaller than the write.
Fix by passing "length" instead of "count" to hp_wmi_perform_query()
in both functions. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix heap OOB read on empty password write
validate_password_input() computes length = strlen(buf) and then
checks buf[length - 1] to strip a trailing newline, without checking
that length is nonzero first. Writing an empty string (a bare '\n')
to current_password or new_password gives length == 0, and
buf[length - 1] reads buf[-1], one byte before the heap allocation
holding the copied input.
KASAN confirms this directly:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in store_password_instance.constprop.0+0x223/0x2a0 [hp_bioscfg]
Read of size 1 at addr ffff88811bd8da9f by task sh/13740
...
store_password_instance.constprop.0+0x223/0x2a0 [hp_bioscfg]
current_password_store+0x14/0x20 [hp_bioscfg]
...
The buggy address is located 23 bytes to the right of
allocated 8-byte region [ffff88811bd8da80, ffff88811bd8da88)
Reproduced identically via new_password_store. Execution continues
past the bad read (the garbage byte only affects whether "length" is
decremented by one), so the write completes and returns success; this
is a pure information read past the buffer, not a crash, but it is
still an out-of-bounds access KASAN correctly flags.
Fix by only checking buf[length - 1] when length is nonzero. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix off-by-one write in hp_get_string_from_buffer()
hp_get_string_from_buffer() clamps the converted string length against
the destination buffer size with "size > dst_size", so when the
converted length is exactly equal to dst_size, conv_dst_size is left
at dst_size and the unconditional NUL terminator write
dst[conv_dst_size] = 0;
lands one byte past the destination buffer. This is the same shape of
bug as the previously fixed off-by-one in hp_convert_hexstr_to_str():
the buffer is sized correctly for the content, but the terminator
write is never checked against that size.
Fix by changing the comparison to ">=" so conv_dst_size is always left
with room for the terminator.
All fixed-size destinations that reach this function (path[512],
current_value[512], current_password/current_value[64], and the
per-entry buffers in encodings[][512] and prerequisites[][512]) are
affected. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: pass validated element count to package parsers
The per-type package parsers are handed the wrong element count.
hp_init_bios_package_attribute() validates obj->package.count and then
calls one of the five hp_populate_*_package_data() wrappers (string,
integer, enumeration, ordered list, password). Each wrapper forwards a
count to its hp_populate_*_elements_from_package() parser, but instead
of forwarding the validated obj->package.count it derives the count
from elements[0]. elements[0] is the NAME field and is always an
ACPI_TYPE_STRING, so reading ->package.count from it in fact reads
->string.length through the union acpi_object. The parsers thus bound
themselves against the length of the name string rather than against
the real number of elements in the package.
This is safe today because hp_init_bios_package_attribute() refuses any
package that has fewer than the type's element count, so a parser only
ever runs on a full package and never reads past it regardless of the
bogus bound.
An upcoming change relaxes that check to accept shorter packages. Once
a parser can receive fewer elements than its per-type count, a bound
taken from the name length no longer reflects the array size, and the
"elem < count" loop conditions and "elem + n >= count" sub-loop guards
read past the end of elements[] - an out-of-bounds heap read.
Forward the validated obj->package.count to every *_package_data()
wrapper so the parsers bound themselves against the real package size.
This does not change behaviour for the packages that enumerate
correctly today and is a prerequisite for accepting shorter packages
safely. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/waitid: honor task_work cancellation
io_waitid_cb() may run through the fallback task_work path when
task_work_add() can no longer queue work to the originating task. The
fallback runs from a kworker and io_uring marks such task work as
canceled through tw.cancel.
io_waitid_cb() currently ignores tw.cancel and calls __do_wait().
waitid is task-context dependent: __do_wait() performs child lookup
relative to current, and the retry path also uses
current->signal->wait_chldexit. If the callback runs from the fallback
kworker, current is therefore not the task that submitted the request.
Honor tw.cancel before entering __do_wait(). Complete the request with
-ECANCELED and skip the siginfo copy, since canceled task work may run
without the submitting task's userspace execution context.
Keep the existing siginfo handling for normal waitid completion and
explicit cancellation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
interconnect: Fix use after free in icc_get() and of_icc_get_by_index()
In of_icc_get_by_index() and icc_get(), if the dynamic allocation for
path->name fails via kasprintf(), the error handling path directly
calls kfree(path) to free the path object and returns an error.
However, prior to this point, path_find() calls path_init(), which
already links the path's requests into the req_list of the respective
interconnect nodes via hlist_add_head(). Directly invoking kfree(path)
leaves dangling pointers in the hlist. A subsequent call to icc_get()
or icc_set_bw() will traverse or modify these corrupted lists, triggering
a slab use afterfree.
KASAN report showing the vulnerability when reproducing via debugfs:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in path_find+0x6f8/0xcfc
Write of size 8 at addr fff000000d43f748 by task sh/1

...
Freed by task 1:
kfree+0x1a0/0x4a4
icc_get+0x2cc/0x380
icc_get_set+0xf8/0x2d0
Fix this by replacing kfree(path) with the proper teardown function,
icc_put(path), which safely removes the requests from the req_list using
hlist_del() and drops the provider usage references before freeing the
memory.
Additionally, in icc_get(), ensure that the icc_lock mutex is released
prior to calling icc_put(path) to avoid a deadlock, as icc_put()
internally acquires the same lock. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ravb: avoid dereferencing an invalid PTP clock
The PTP clock is unavailable before the first open, so querying its
index can dereference a NULL pointer. Registration failures can also
leave an error pointer in priv->ptp.clock.
Cache the PHC index separately and report -1 while no clock is
registered. Normalize registration errors to NULL and preserve the
static timestamping capabilities. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: thunderbolt: Release the Rx HopID that was handed out on mismatch
tb_xdomain_alloc_in_hopid() passes the wanted HopID to ida_alloc_range()
as the lower bound, so a taken id is not an error there: the allocator
returns the next free one above it. tbnet_connected_work() asks for the
peer's transmit path, treats any other id as a failure and returns
without releasing what it got, so that allocation stays live for the rest
of the XDomain connection with nothing left holding a reference to it.
Release the id when it is not the one we asked for, the same way the
error unwind at the end of the function releases the expected one. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NTB: ntb_transport: Fail TX enqueue when the QP link is down
Commit f195a1a6fe41 ("ntb: Drop packets when qp link is down") meant to
make ntb_transport_tx_enqueue() drop packets submitted while the QP link
is down, but it only returns 0 without consuming the packet. Zero means
success by this function's contract, so ntb_netdev reports NETDEV_TX_OK
and forgets the skb: nothing queued it, nothing frees it, and it leaks,
one skb for every transmit racing a link-down.
Return -ENOLINK instead, restoring the contract that a non-zero return
leaves the buffer owned by the caller. With the preceding patch,
ntb_netdev frees the skb on non-retryable enqueue failures and returns
NETDEV_TX_OK, so a packet racing with link-down is dropped without leaking
or entering a busy retry loop. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: do not dereference an unset send buffer on the SMC-D teardown path
smc_close_stream_wait() calls smc_tx_prepared_sends() from inside its
sk_wait_event() condition, and sk_wait_event() evaluates that condition
once with the socket lock released. smcd_buf_detach() clears
conn->sndbuf_desc from smc_conn_kill() under lock_sock(), so a link group
terminating while a socket waits there leaves the helper dereferencing
NULL, faulting out of close(). SIOCOUTQ reads the field by hand, and
smc_close_cancel_work() drops the lock across two cancel_*_sync() calls.
Sample the pointer once in the helper, report nothing prepared while it is
unset, and bound the ioctl the same way. The receive tasklet dereferences
the field directly in smc_cdc_msg_recv_action(), not through this helper;
1/2 is what keeps it from running that late. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix socket refcount leak in smc_switch_conns()
smc_switch_conns() takes a reference on the SMC socket before dropping
lgr->conns_lock, so the connection stays alive while the CDC slot is
fetched:
sock_hold(&smc->sk);
read_unlock_bh(&lgr->conns_lock);
/* pre-fetch buffer outside of send_lock, might sleep */
rc = smc_cdc_get_free_slot(conn, to_lnk, &wr_buf, NULL, &pend);
if (rc)
goto err_out;
The err_out label only drops the wr_tx link reference, so this early exit
returns without the matching sock_put(). The second error exit is not
affected, because sock_put() has already run by then.
A leaked sk_refcnt means the smc_sock is never destroyed. Its send and
receive buffers stay allocated, and for a user socket the reference held
on the network namespace is never released, so the netns can no longer be
torn down.
smc_cdc_get_free_slot() fails when the target link goes down or when the
connection has been killed while the switch is in progress. Both are
reachable during the link failover this function implements, so the leak
is triggered by the same hardware events that make smc_switch_conns() run
in the first place.
Restructure so there is a single sock_put() covering both outcomes,
instead of adding a second one to the error path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: unregister the connection before draining the rx tasklet
smc_conn_free() calls smc_ism_unset_conn() only while the link group is
still on its device list, and never sets conn->killed.
smc_lgr_terminate_sched() unlinks the group immediately and defers killing
its connections to a work item, so a connection freed in that window keeps
its smcd->conn[] slot with both gates in smcd_handle_irq() open, and the
device can re-arm the receive tasklet after tasklet_kill() has returned. On
the DMB-nocopy path the ghost send buffer is freed right after that drain,
so the re-armed tasklet dereferences it.
Unregister unconditionally and drain before the detach at both teardown
sites, mirroring rmb_desc, which smc_buf_unuse() releases after the drain.
Clear conn->sndbuf_desc before freeing it as well, so a reader that samples
the pointer cannot get one that is already freed. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
seg6: reset IP6CB after IPv6 decapsulation
decap_and_validate() pulls the outer SRv6 headers and makes the inner
packet the skb network header. The IPv6 control block still contains
values collected while parsing the outer packet, including nhoff and
extension-header flags.
End.DX6 and End.DT6 route the inner IPv6 packet directly to the IPv6
input path. An unprivileged user can reach End.DT6 from a user and net
namespace by installing a local SID and injecting an outer packet with
Hop-by-Hop and Destination Options headers followed by an SRH and a
minimal inner IPv6 packet.
The outer extension headers leave a large nhoff in IP6CB. After
decapsulation, ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu() uses that stale offset on the
inner packet and reads beyond the skb head. KASAN reports:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu
ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu+0x1118/0x1450
ip6_input_finish+0x11b/0x240

lwtunnel_input+0x1e9/0x4e0
ipv6_rthdr_rcv+0x525f/0x6c50
ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu+0xcb7/0x1450
Before clearing IP6CB for an inner IPv6 packet, save its incoming
interface index and L3 slave state. Restore both after the clear and set
nhoff to the inner IPv6 base-header nexthdr field.
Use IP6CB(skb)->iif rather than skb->skb_iif because VRF processing can
replace skb_iif with the L3 master while IP6CB keeps the receiving
interface. Preserve IP6SKB_L3SLAVE for the same reason. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: 6fire: bound the MIDI event length from the device
usb6fire_comm_receiver_handler() forwards a MIDI event using a length
byte the device supplies, with no bound and no check that the transfer
delivered that many bytes:
if (!urb->status) {
if (rt->receiver_buffer[0] == 0x10) /* midi in event */
if (midi_rt)
midi_rt->in_received(midi_rt,
rt->receiver_buffer + 2,
rt->receiver_buffer[1]);
}
receiver_buffer is a 64-byte kzalloc() buffer (COMM_RECEIVER_BUFSIZE), so
only 62 bytes follow the two-byte header. receiver_buffer[1] is a u8 the
device chooses, so a device that answers with 0x10 and a length of 0xFF
makes snd_rawmidi_receive() read 255 bytes starting two bytes into a
64-byte object. The bytes past the buffer are handed to userspace
through the rawmidi read path.
urb->actual_length is not consulted either, so a short transfer leaves
both the type byte and the length byte at their previous values and the
handler acts on stale data.
The receiver URB is submitted from usb6fire_comm_init() at probe, so the
read happens on plug with no user action; forwarding to userspace also
needs a MIDI input substream open, since usb6fire_midi_in_received()
only calls snd_rawmidi_receive() when rt->in is set.
KASAN on 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64), single packet from an emulated device:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in snd_rawmidi_receive

The buggy address is located 2 bytes inside of
allocated 64-byte region [ffff000009f64680, ffff000009f646c0)
Reject the event when the length exceeds the bytes that follow the
header, and require the transfer to have delivered the header plus that
many bytes. The receiver URB is submitted with a 64-byte
transfer_buffer_length, so a genuine device cannot deliver an event
longer than those 62 bytes and nothing valid is dropped.

aloop driver blindly trusts that the given devptr->id value is within
the proper card index range at probe. It's OK for the devices the
driver itself creates at the module probe time, but if the device is
bound manually via sysfs interface, this could be -1 as "none", and

ALSA: FCP: do not copy out an uninitialised init response
fcp_ioctl_init() allocates its response buffer with kmalloc() and copies
the whole buffer back to userspace:
buf_size = init.step0_resp_size + init.step2_resp_size;
void *resp __free(kfree) =
kmalloc(buf_size, GFP_KERNEL);
...
if (copy_to_user(arg->resp, resp, buf_size))
return -EFAULT;
Nothing clears the buffer, and the only writer of its leading
step0_resp_size bytes is the step-0 control transfer:
err = snd_usb_ctl_msg(dev, usb_rcvctrlpipe(dev, 0),
FCP_USB_REQ_STEP0,
USB_RECIP_INTERFACE | USB_TYPE_CLASS | USB_DIR_IN,
0, private->bInterfaceNumber,
step0_resp, private->step0_resp_size);
if (err < 0)
return err;
usb_fill_control_urb() does not set URB_SHORT_NOT_OK, so a short or
zero-length data stage completes with status 0 and snd_usb_ctl_msg()
returns a small actual_length. The only check is err < 0, so a short
transfer is accepted as success.
snd_usb_ctl_msg() copies the full size back unconditionally:
buf = kmemdup(data, size, GFP_KERNEL);
...
memcpy(data, buf, size);
Bytes the device never wrote are therefore restored into resp unchanged
and copied to userspace. step0_resp_size and step2_resp_size are each
validated only to 1..255, so the caller also picks the slab cache, from
kmalloc-8 up to kmalloc-512.
On 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64), device answering step 0 with a zero-length data
stage, s0 = s2 = 255:
# init_on_alloc off, no spray
step0 window [0,255): nonzero=94/255
000: 00 80 60 06 00 00 ff ff 18 00 00 00 57 01 ea 01
010: 08 78 22 13 00 00 ff ff a8 c4 5f 80 00 80 ff ff
# same kernel, kmalloc-512 pre-seeded with an 8-byte tag
step0 window [0,255): nonzero=219/255 tagbytes=232
# identical run, init_on_alloc=1
step0 window [0,255): nonzero=0/255 tagbytes=0
# all three runs
step2 window [255,510): device words matched=62/62
a8 c4 5f 80 00 80 ff ff is the little-endian kernel text address
ffff8000805fc4a8. The step-2 window is unaffected, so the disclosure is
exactly the step-0 region.
Zero the buffer, and require the step-0 transfer to deliver the full
step0_resp_size bytes so a short data stage is reported as an error.
