wifi: rtlwifi: Drastically reduce the attempts to read efuse in case of failures
Syzkaller reported a hung task with uevent_show() on stack trace. That
specific issue was addressed by another commit [0], but even with that
fix applied (for example, running v6.12-rc5) we face another type of hung
task that comes from the same reproducer [1]. By investigating that, we
could narrow it to the following path:
(a) Syzkaller emulates a Realtek USB WiFi adapter using raw-gadget and
dummy_hcd infrastructure.
(b) During the probe of rtl8192cu, the driver ends-up performing an efuse
read procedure (which is related to EEPROM load IIUC), and here lies the
issue: the function read_efuse() calls read_efuse_byte() many times, as
loop iterations depending on the efuse size (in our example, 512 in total).
This procedure for reading efuse bytes relies in a loop that performs an
I/O read up to *10k* times in case of failures. We measured the time of
the loop inside read_efuse_byte() alone, and in this reproducer (which
involves the dummy_hcd emulation layer), it takes 15 seconds each. As a
consequence, we have the driver stuck in its probe routine for big time,
exposing a stack trace like below if we attempt to reboot the system, for
example:
task:kworker/0:3 state:D stack:0 pid:662 tgid:662 ppid:2 flags:0x00004000

[...]
We propose hereby to drastically reduce the attempts of doing the I/O
reads in case of failures, restricted to USB devices (given that
they're inherently slower than PCIe ones). By retrying up to 10 times
(instead of 10000), we got reponsiveness in the reproducer, while seems
reasonable to believe that there's no sane USB device implementation in
the field requiring this amount of retries at every I/O read in order
to properly work. Based on that assumption, it'd be good to have it
backported to stable but maybe not since driver implementation (the 10k
number comes from day 0), perhaps up to 6.x series makes sense.

[1] A note about that: this syzkaller report presents multiple reproducers
that differs by the type of emulated USB device. For this specific case,
check the entry from 2024/08/08 06:23 in the list of crashes; the C repro
is available at https://syzkaller.appspot.com/text?tag=ReproC&x=1521fc83980000. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: check return value of ieee80211_probereq_get() for RNR
The return value of ieee80211_probereq_get() might be NULL, so check it
before using to avoid NULL pointer access.

dmaengine: tegra: Fix memory leak in terminate_all()
Terminate vdesc when terminating an ongoing transfer.
This will ensure that the vdesc is present in the desc_terminated list
The descriptor will be freed later in desc_free_list().
This fixes the memory leaks which can happen when terminating an
ongoing transfer. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ptdma: pt_core_execute_cmd() should use spinlock
The interrupt handler (pt_core_irq_handler()) of the ptdma
driver can be called from interrupt context. The code flow
in this function can lead down to pt_core_execute_cmd() which
will attempt to grab a mutex, which is not appropriate in
interrupt context and ultimately leads to a kernel panic.
The fix here changes this mutex to a spinlock, which has
been verified to resolve the issue. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: Don't attempt to resume the ports before they exist
This will fix null pointer dereference that was caused by
the driver attempting to resume ports that were not yet
registered. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HV: hv_balloon: fix memory leak with using debugfs_lookup()
When calling debugfs_lookup() the result must have dput() called on it,
otherwise the memory will leak over time. To make things simpler, just
call debugfs_lookup_and_remove() instead which handles all of the logic
at once. |

ata: libata-core: fix NULL pointer deref in ata_host_alloc_pinfo()
In an unlikely (and probably wrong?) case that the 'ppi' parameter of
ata_host_alloc_pinfo() points to an array starting with a NULL pointer,
there's going to be a kernel oops as the 'pi' local variable won't get
reassigned from the initial value of NULL. Initialize 'pi' instead to
'&ata_dummy_port_info' to fix the possible kernel oops for good...

irqchip/gic-v3: Fix error handling in gic_populate_ppi_partitions
of_get_child_by_name() returns a node pointer with refcount
incremented, we should use of_node_put() on it when not need anymore.
When kcalloc fails, it missing of_node_put() and results in refcount
leak. Fix this by goto out_put_node label. |

irqchip/gic-v3: Fix refcount leak in gic_populate_ppi_partitions
of_find_node_by_phandle() 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. |

ext4: add reserved GDT blocks check
We capture a NULL pointer issue when resizing a corrupt ext4 image which
is freshly clear resize_inode feature (not run e2fsck). It could be
simply reproduced by following steps. The problem is because of the
resize_inode feature was cleared, and it will convert the filesystem to
meta_bg mode in ext4_resize_fs(), but the es->s_reserved_gdt_blocks was
not reduced to zero, so could we mistakenly call reserve_backup_gdb()
and passing an uninitialized resize_inode to it when adding new group
descriptors.

tune2fs -O ^resize_inode /dev/sda #forget to run requested e2fsck

RDMA/cm: Fix memory leak in ib_cm_insert_listen

tipc: move bc link creation back to tipc_node_create
Shuang Li reported a NULL pointer dereference crash:
[] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000068
[] RIP: 0010:tipc_link_is_up+0x5/0x10 [tipc]
[] Call Trace:
[] <IRQ>
[] tipc_bcast_rcv+0xa2/0x190 [tipc]
[] tipc_node_bc_rcv+0x8b/0x200 [tipc]
[] tipc_rcv+0x3af/0x5b0 [tipc]
[] tipc_udp_recv+0xc7/0x1e0 [tipc]
It was caused by the 'l' passed into tipc_bcast_rcv() is NULL. When it
creates a node in tipc_node_check_dest(), after inserting the new node
into hashtable in tipc_node_create(), it creates the bc link. However,
there is a gap between this insert and bc link creation, a bc packet
may come in and get the node from the hashtable then try to dereference
its bc link, which is NULL.
This patch is to fix it by moving the bc link creation before inserting
into the hashtable.
Note that for a preliminary node becoming "real", the bc link creation
should also be called before it's rehashed, as we don't create it for
preliminary nodes. |

i2c: piix4: Fix a memory leak in the EFCH MMIO support
The recently added support for EFCH MMIO regions introduced a memory
leak in that code path. The leak is caused by the fact that
release_resource() merely removes the resource from the tree but does
not free its memory. We need to call release_mem_region() instead,
which does free the memory. As a nice side effect, this brings back
some symmetry between the legacy and MMIO paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: fix a possible refcount leak in intel_dp_add_mst_connector()
If drm_connector_init fails, intel_connector_free will be called to take
care of proper free. So it is necessary to drop the refcount of port
before intel_connector_free.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sysctl: Fix data races in proc_douintvec().
A sysctl variable is accessed concurrently, and there is always a chance
of data-race. So, all readers and writers need some basic protection to
avoid load/store-tearing.
This patch changes proc_douintvec() to use READ_ONCE() and WRITE_ONCE()
internally to fix data-races on the sysctl side. For now, proc_douintvec()
itself is tolerant to a data-race, but we still need to add annotations on
the other subsystem's side. |

cipso: Fix data-races around sysctl.
While reading cipso sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently.
So, we need to add READ_ONCE() to avoid data-races. |

icmp: Fix data-races around sysctl.
While reading icmp sysctl variables, they can be changed concurrently.
