blk-mq: Fix kmemleak in blk_mq_init_allocated_queue

There is a kmemleak caused by modprobe null_blk.ko

That is because q->ma_ops is set to NULL before blk_release_queue is called.

blk_mq_init_queue_data blk_mq_init_allocated_queue blk_mq_realloc_hw_ctxs for (i = 0; i < set->nr_hw_queues; i++) { old_hctx = xa_load(&q->hctx_table, i); if (!blk_mq_alloc_and_init_hctx(.., i, ..)) [1] if (!old_hctx) break;

  xa_for_each_start(&q->hctx_table, j, hctx, j)
    blk_mq_exit_hctx(q, set, hctx, j); 			[2]

if (!q->nr_hw_queues)					[3]
  goto err_hctxs;

err_exit: q->mq_ops = NULL; [4]

blk_put_queue blk_release_queue if (queue_is_mq(q)) [5] blk_mq_release(q);

[1]: blk_mq_alloc_and_init_hctx failed at i != 0. [2]: The hctxs allocated by [1] are moved to q->unused_hctx_list and will be cleaned up in blk_mq_release. [3]: q->nr_hw_queues is 0. [4]: Set q->mq_ops to NULL. [5]: queue_is_mq returns false due to [4]. And blk_mq_release will not be called. The hctxs in q->unused_hctx_list are leaked.

To fix it, call blk_release_queue in exception path.(CVE-2022-49901)

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

tracing: Do not let histogram values have some modifiers

Histogram values can not be strings, stacktraces, graphs, symbols, syscalls, or grouped in buckets or log. Give an error if a value is set to do so.

Note, the histogram code was not prepared to handle these modifiers for histograms and caused a bug.

Mark Rutland reported:

echo 'p:copy_to_user __arch_copy_to_user n=$arg2' >> /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events

echo 'hist:keys=n:vals=hitcount.buckets=8:sort=hitcount' > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kprobes/copy_to_user/trigger

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

proc: fix UAF in proc_get_inode()

Fix race between rmmod and /proc/XXX's inode instantiation.

The bug is that pde->proc_ops don't belong to /proc, it belongs to a module, therefore dereferencing it after /proc entry has been registered is a bug unless use_pde/unuse_pde() pair has been used.

use_pde/unuse_pde can be avoided (2 atomic ops!) because pde->proc_ops never changes so information necessary for inode instantiation can be saved before proc_register() in PDE itself and used later, avoiding pde->proc_ops->... dereference.

  rmmod                         lookup

sys_delete_module proc_lookup_de pde_get(de); proc_get_inode(dir->i_sb, de); mod->exit() proc_remove remove_proc_subtree proc_entry_rundown(de); free_module(mod);

                           if (S_ISREG(inode->i_mode))
                         if (de->proc_ops->proc_read_iter)
                       --> As module is already freed, will trigger UAF
