Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/rockchip: inno-hdmi: Switch to drmm_kzalloc() Driver makes use of drmm_encoder_init() to initialize the encoder and automatically handle the cleanup by registering drm_encoder_cleanup() with drmm_add_action(). However, the internal structure containing the encoder part gets allocated with devm_kzalloc(), which happens while component_bind_all() is being called from Rockchip DRM driver. The component framework further ensures it is deallocated as part of releasing all the resources claimed during bind, which is triggered from component_unbind_all(). When the reference to the DRM device gets eventually dropped via drm_dev_put() in rockchip_drm_unbind(), drmm_encoder_alloc_release() attempts to access the now released encoder structure, leading to use-after-free. Ensure driver's internal structure is still reachable on encoder cleanup by switching from a device-managed allocation to a drm-managed one.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Fill first free targets[] slot during auto-discovery Any invalid endpoint decoder pointer in the target array of an active region is not allowed by cxl driver. This means cxl driver always assumes the first p->nr_targets entries of the target array in an auto-assembly region are valid. However, there are scenarios that could leave NULL endpoint decoder pointer holes in the target array. 1. When cxl_cancel_auto_attach() removes an endpoint decoder from a target array, the target slot is set to NULL. If the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, the target array will contain a NULL hole. 2. When a auto-assembly region removes an assigned endpoint decoder, if the removed endpoint decoder is not the last element in the target array, always remains a NULL hole in the target array. When a NULL pointer hole exists in a region's target array, it introduces two potential problems: 1. Access an endpoint decoder via a NULL pointer. it always trigger calltrace like that. Oops: general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0xdffffc0000000008: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI RIP: 0010:cxl_calc_interleave_pos+0x26/0x810 [cxl_core] Call Trace: <TASK> cxl_region_attach+0xc50/0x2140 [cxl_core] cxl_add_to_region+0x321/0x2330 [cxl_core] discover_region+0x92/0x150 [cxl_port] device_for_each_child+0xf3/0x170 cxl_port_probe+0x150/0x200 [cxl_port] cxl_bus_probe+0x4f/0xa0 [cxl_core] really_probe+0x1c8/0x960 __driver_probe_device+0x323/0x450 driver_probe_device+0x45/0x120 __device_attach_driver+0x15d/0x280 bus_for_each_drv+0x10f/0x190 2. Not having enough valid endpoint decoders attached to an auto-assembly region. if an auto-assembly region is created with lock flag or assigned endpoint decoder with lock flag, which means assigned endpoint decoder will not be reset during detaching, they could re-attach to the auto-assembly region again. But cxl region driver relies on p->nr_targets to verify whether the required number of endpoint decoders has been attached, and NULL endpoint decoder pointers are still counted in that case. To fix above issues, adjust cxl_region_attach_auto() logic to find the first free target slot for endpoint decoder attachment, this ensures NULL holes in the target array are filled, rather than adding new endpoint decoders at the tail of the target array.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cxl/region: Resolve region deletion races Sungwoo noticed that the sysfs trigger to delete a region may try to delete a region multiple times. It also has no exclusion relative to the kernel releasing the region via CXL root device teardown. Instead of installing new cxl root devres actions per region, use the existing root decoder unregistration event to remove all remaining regions. An xarray of regions replaces a devres list of regions. This handles 3 separate issues with the old approach: 1/ sysfs users racing to delete the same region: no longer possible now that the regions_lock is held over the lookup and deletion. 2/ multiple actions triggering deletion of the same region: solved by erasing regions while holding @regions_lock, and only proceeding on successful erasure. 3/ userspace racing devres_release_all() to trigger the devres not found warning: solved by sysfs unregistration not requiring a release action
