CVE-2022-50616

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:kernel/resource: fix kfree() of bootmem memory againSince commit ebff7d8f270d ( mem hotunplug: fix kfree() of bootmemmemory ), we could get a resource allocated during boot viaalloc_resource(). And it s required to release the resource usingfree_resource(). Howerver, many people use kfree directly which willresult in kernel BUG. In order to fix this without fixing every callsite, just leak a couple of bytes in such corner case.(CVE-2022-49190)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:drivers: staging: rtl8723bs: Fix deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback()There is a deadlock in rtw_surveydone_event_callback(),which is shown below: (Thread 1) | (Thread 2) | _set_timer()rtw_surveydone_event_callback()| mod_timer() spin_lock_bh() //(1) | (wait a time) ... | rtw_scan_timeout_handler() del_timer_sync() | spin_lock_bh() //(2) (wait timer to stop) | ...We hold pmlmepriv->lock in position (1) of thread 1 and usedel_timer_sync() to wait timer to stop, but timer handleralso need pmlmepriv->lock in position (2) of thread 2.As a result, rtw_surveydone_event_callback() will block forever.This patch extracts del_timer_sync() from the protection ofspin_lock_bh(), which could let timer handler to obtainthe needed lock. What`s more, we change spin_lock_bh() inrtw_scan_timeout_handler() to spin_lock_irq(). Otherwise,spin_lock_bh() will also cause deadlock() in timer handler.(CVE-2022-49309)

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

drm/scheduler: fix fence ref counting

We leaked dependency fences when processes were beeing killed.

Additional to that grab a reference to the last scheduled fence.(CVE-2022-49829)

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

kmalloc was called with mem_flags, which is passed down in cdns3_allocate_trb_pool() and have GFP_DMA32 flags. kmall_fix_flags() report warning.

GFP_DMA32 is not useful at all. dma_alloc_coherent() will handle DMA memory region correctly by pool->dev. GFP_DMA32 can be removed safely.(CVE-2022-50151)

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

of: check previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer against memory bounds

Presently ima_get_kexec_buffer() doesn't check if the previous kernel's ima-kexec-buffer lies outside the addressable memory range. This can result in a kernel panic if the new kernel is booted with 'mem=X' arg and the ima-kexec-buffer was allocated beyond that range by the previous kernel. The panic is usually of the form below:

$ sudo kexec --initrd initrd vmlinux --append='mem=16G'

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

regulator: core: Use different devices for resource allocation and DT lookup

Following by the below discussion, there's the potential UAF issue between regulator and mfd. https://lore.kernel.org/all/20221128143601.1698148-1-yangyingliang@huawei.com/

From the analysis of Yingliang

CPU A |CPU B mt6370_probe() | devm_mfd_add_devices() | |mt6370_regulator_probe() | regulator_register() | //allocate init_data and add it to devres | regulator_of_get_init_data() i2c_unregister_device() | device_del() | devres_release_all() | // init_data is freed | release_nodes() | | // using init_data causes UAF | regulator_register()

It's common to use mfd core to create child device for the regulator. In order to do the DT lookup for init data, the child that registered the regulator would pass its parent as the parameter. And this causes init data resource allocated to its parent, not itself. The issue happen when parent device is going to release and regulator core is still doing some operation of init data constraint for the regulator of child device.

To fix it, this patch expand 'regulator_register' API to use the different devices for init data allocation and DT lookup.
