OESA-2025-1336

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/plane: Move range check for format_count earlier

While the check for format_count > 64 in __drm_universal_plane_init() shouldn't be hit (it's a WARN_ON), in its current position it will then leak the plane->format_types array and fail to call drm_mode_object_unregister() leaking the modeset identifier. Move it to the start of the function to avoid allocating those resources in the first place.(CVE-2021-47659)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: target: tcmu: Fix possible page UAF

tcmu_try_get_data_page() looks up pages under cmdr_lock, but it does not take refcount properly and just returns page pointer. When tcmu_try_get_data_page() returns, the returned page may have been freed by tcmu_blocks_release().

We need to get_page() under cmdr_lock to avoid concurrent tcmu_blocks_release().(CVE-2022-49053)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ASoC: atmel: Add missing of_node_put() in at91sam9g20ek_audio_probe

This node pointer is returned by of_parse_phandle() with refcount incremented in this function. Calling of_node_put() to avoid the refcount leak.(CVE-2022-49243)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: oss: Fix PCM OSS buffer allocation overflow

We've got syzbot reports hitting INT_MAX overflow at vmalloc() allocation that is called from snd_pcm_plug_alloc(). Although we apply the restrictions to input parameters, it's based only on the hw_params of the underlying PCM device. Since the PCM OSS layer allocates a temporary buffer for the data conversion, the size may become unexpectedly large when more channels or higher rates is given; in the reported case, it went over INT_MAX, hence it hits WARN_ON().

This patch is an attempt to avoid such an overflow and an allocation for too large buffers. First off, it adds the limit of 1MB as the upper bound for period bytes. This must be large enough for all use cases, and we really don't want to handle a larger temporary buffer than this size. The size check is performed at two places, where the original period bytes is calculated and where the plugin buffer size is calculated.

In addition, the driver uses array_size() and array3_size() for multiplications to catch overflows for the converted period size and buffer bytes.(CVE-2022-49292)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/amdgpu/cs: make commands with 0 chunks illegal behaviour.

Submitting a cs with 0 chunks, causes an oops later, found trying to execute the wrong userspace driver.

Bug: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/2018(CVE-2022-49335)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: mdio: unexport __init-annotated mdio_bus_init()

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text section is freed up after the initialization. Hence, modules cannot use symbols annotated __init. The access to a freed symbol may end up with kernel panic.

modpost used to detect it, but it has been broken for a decade.

Recently, I fixed modpost so it started to warn it again, then this showed up in linux-next builds.

There are two ways to fix it:

• Remove __init
• Remove EXPORT_SYMBOL

I chose the latter for this case because the only in-tree call-site, drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c is never compiled as modular. (CONFIG_PHYLIB is boolean)(CVE-2022-49350)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

jffs2: fix memory leak in jffs2_do_fill_super

If jffs2_iget() or d_make_root() in jffs2_do_fill_super() returns an error, we can observe the following kmemleak report:

This is because the resources allocated in jffs2_sum_init() are not released. Call jffs2_sum_exit() to release these resources to solve the problem.(CVE-2022-49381)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ubi: ubi_create_volume: Fix use-after-free when volume creation failed

There is an use-after-free problem for 'eba_tbl' in ubi_create_volume()'s error handling path:

ubi_eba_replace_table(vol, eba_tbl) vol->eba_tbl = tbl out_mapping: ubi_eba_destroy_table(eba_tbl) // Free 'eba_tbl' out_unlock: put_device(&vol->dev) vol_release kfree(tbl->entries) // UAF

Fix it by removing redundant 'eba_tbl' releasing. Fetch a reproducer in [Link].(CVE-2022-49388)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/msm/mdp5: Return error code in mdp5_pipe_release when deadlock is detected

mdp5_get_global_state runs the risk of hitting a -EDEADLK when acquiring the modeset lock, but currently mdp5_pipe_release doesn't check for if an error is returned. Because of this, there is a possibility of mdp5_pipe_release hitting a NULL dereference error.

To avoid this, let's have mdp5_pipe_release check if mdp5_get_global_state returns an error and propogate that error.

Changes since v1:

• Separated declaration and initialization of *new_state to avoid compiler warning
• Fixed some spelling mistakes in commit message

Changes since v2:

• Return 0 in case where hwpipe is NULL as this is considered normal behavior
• Added 2nd patch in series to fix a similar NULL dereference issue in mdp5_mixer_release

Patchwork: https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/485179/(CVE-2022-49490)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

HID: elan: Fix potential double free in elan_input_configured

'input' is a managed resource allocated with devm_input_allocate_device(), so there is no need to call input_free_device() explicitly or there will be a double free.

According to the doc of devm_input_allocate_device():

• Managed input devices do not need to be explicitly unregistered or
• freed as it will be done automatically when owner device unbinds from
• its driver (or binding fails).(CVE-2022-49508)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

scsi: lpfc: Fix null pointer dereference after failing to issue FLOGI and PLOGI

If lpfc_issue_els_flogi() fails and returns non-zero status, the node reference count is decremented to trigger the release of the nodelist structure. However, if there is a prior registration or dev-loss-evt work pending, the node may be released prematurely. When dev-loss-evt completes, the released node is referenced causing a use-after-free null pointer dereference.

Similarly, when processing non-zero ELS PLOGI completion status in lpfc_cmpl_els_plogi(), the ndlp flags are checked for a transport registration before triggering node removal. If dev-loss-evt work is pending, the node may be released prematurely and a subsequent call to lpfc_dev_loss_tmo_handler() results in a use after free ndlp dereference.

Add test for pending dev-loss before decrementing the node reference count for FLOGI, PLOGI, PRLI, and ADISC handling.(CVE-2022-49535)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ip: Fix data-races around sysctl_ip_fwd_update_priority.

While reading sysctl_ip_fwd_update_priority, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READ_ONCE() to its readers.(CVE-2022-49603)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

sfc: fix kernel panic when creating VF

When creating VFs a kernel panic can happen when calling to efx_ef10_try_update_nic_stats_vf.

When releasing a DMA coherent buffer, sometimes, I don't know in what specific circumstances, it has to unmap memory with vunmap. It is disallowed to do that in IRQ context or with BH disabled. Otherwise, we hit this line in vunmap, causing the crash: BUG_ON(in_interrupt());

This patch reenables BH to release the buffer.

soc: bcm: brcmstb: pm: pm-arm: Fix refcount leak in brcmstb_pm_probe

of_find_matching_node() returns a node pointer with refcount incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore. Add missing of_node_put() to avoid refcount leak.

In brcmstb_init_sram, it pass dn to of_address_to_resource(), of_address_to_resource() will call of_find_device_by_node() to take reference, so we should release the reference returned by of_find_matching_node().(CVE-2022-49678)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

The reproduction command is as follows: sysctl -w net.core.dev_weight=0 ping 127.0.0.1

This is because when the napi's weight is set to 0, process_backlog() may return 0 and clear the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit of napi->state, causing this napi to be re-polled in net_rx_action() until __do_softirq() times out. Since the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit has been cleared, napi_schedule_rps() can be retriggered in enqueue_to_backlog(), causing this issue.

Making the napi's weight always non-zero solves this problem.

Triggering this issue requires system-wide admin (setting is not namespaced).(CVE-2025-21806)
