USN-6152-1: Linux kernel (GKE) regression

It was discovered that NFS client's access cache implementation in the Linux kernel caused a severe NFS performance degradation in certain conditions. This updated makes the NFS file-access stale cache behavior to be optional...

kernel: virtio-gpu: fix a missing check to avoid NULL dereference

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: virtio-gpu: fix a missing check to avoid NULL dereference 'cacheent' could be set NULL inside virtiogpucmdgetcapset and it will lead to a NULL dereference by a lately use of it i.e., ptr = cacheent-capscache. Fix it with a NULL...

kernel: net/sched: fix netdevice reference leaks in attach_default_qdiscs()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: fix netdevice reference leaks in attachdefaultqdiscs In attachdefaultqdiscs, if a dev has multiple queues and queue 0 fails to attach qdisc because there is no memory in attachonedefaultqdisc. Then dev-qdisc will be...

kernel: mm/slub: actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/slub: actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning It turns out that SLUB redzoning "slubdebug=Z" checks from s-objectsize rather than from s-inuse which is normally bumped to make room for the freelist pointer, so a cache creat...

kernel: hwmon: (coretemp) Check for null before removing sysfs attrs

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwmon: coretemp Check for null before removing sysfs attrs If coretempaddcore gets an error then pdata-coredataindx is already NULL and has been kfreed. Don't pass that to sysfsremovegroup as that will crash in sysfsremovegroup...

kernel: tcp: Fix data-races around sysctl_tcp_mtu_probing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tcp: Fix data-races around sysctltcpmtuprobing. While reading sysctltcpmtuprobing, it can be changed concurrently. Thus, we need to add READONCE to its readers...

kernel: bpf: Fix potential array overflow in bpf_trampoline_get_progs()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Fix potential array overflow in bpftrampolinegetprogs The cnt value in the 'cnt = BPFMAXTRAMPPROGS' check does not include BPFTRAMPMODIFYRETURN bpf programs, so the number of the attached BPFTRAMPMODIFYRETURN bpf programs in...

kernel: scsi: sg: Allow waiting for commands to complete on removed device

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: sg: Allow waiting for commands to complete on removed device When a SCSI device is removed while in active use, currently sg will immediately return -ENODEV on any attempt to wait for active commands that were sent before t...

kernel: ice: xsk: prohibit usage of non-balanced queue id

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ice: xsk: prohibit usage of non-balanced queue id Fix the following scenario: 1. ethtool -L $IFACE rx 8 tx 96 2. xdpsock -q 10 -t -z Above refers to a case where user would like to attach XSK socket in txonly mode at a queue id...

kernel: net/sched: sch_taprio: fix possible use-after-free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: schtaprio: fix possible use-after-free syzbot reported a nasty crash 1 in nettxaction which made little sense until we got a repro. This repro installs a taprio qdisc, but providing an invalid TCARATE attribute...

kernel: net/sunrpc: fix potential memory leaks in rpc_sysfs_xprt_state_change()

A flaw was found in the sunrpc module in the Linux kernel. A missing decrement of the reference count when an error occurs can cause a memory leak, and a missing check can cause a NULL pointer dereference, potentially resulting in a denial of service...
