Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pds_core: Fix pdsc_check_pci_health function to use work thread When the driver notices fw_status == 0xff it tries to perform a PCI
reset on itself via pci_reset_function() in the context of the driver's
health thread. However, pdsc_reset_prepare calls
pdsc_stop_health_thread(), which attempts to stop/flush the health
thread. This results in a deadlock because the stop/flush will never
complete since the driver called pci_reset_function() from the health
thread context. Fix by changing the pdsc_check_pci_health_function()
to queue a newly introduced pdsc_pci_reset_thread() on the pdsc's
work queue. Unloading the driver in the fw_down/dead state uncovered another issue,
which can be seen in the following trace: WARNING: CPU: 51 PID: 6914 at kernel/workqueue.c:1450 __queue_work+0x358/0x440

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: pds_core: corrige la función pdsc_check_pci_health para usar el subproceso de trabajo. Cuando el controlador nota fw_status == 0xff, intenta realizar un restablecimiento de PCI sobre sí mismo a través de pci_reset_function() en el contexto del subproceso de estado del controlador. . Sin embargo, pdsc_reset_prepare llama a pdsc_stop_health_thread(), que intenta detener/vaciar el hilo de salud. Esto da como resultado un punto muerto porque la parada/vaciado nunca se completará ya que el controlador llamó a pci_reset_function() desde el contexto del hilo de salud. Para solucionarlo, cambie pdsc_check_pci_health_function() para poner en cola un pdsc_pci_reset_thread() recién introducido en la cola de trabajo del pdsc. La descarga del controlador en el estado fw_down/dead descubrió otro problema, que se puede ver en el siguiente seguimiento: ADVERTENCIA: CPU: 51 PID: 6914 en kernel/workqueue.c:1450 __queue_work+0x358/0x440 [...] RIP: 0010:__queue_work+0x358/0x440 [...] Seguimiento de llamadas: ? __warn+0x85/0x140 ? __queue_work+0x358/0x440? report_bug+0xfc/0x1e0? handle_bug+0x3f/0x70? exc_invalid_op+0x17/0x70? asm_exc_invalid_op+0x1a/0x20? __queue_work+0x358/0x440 queue_work_on+0x28/0x30 pdsc_devcmd_locked+0x96/0xe0 [pds_core] pdsc_devcmd_reset+0x71/0xb0 [pds_core] pdsc_teardown+0x51/0xe0 [pds_core] pdsc_remove+0x106/0x200 [pds_core] pci_device_remove+0x37/0xc0 device_release_driver_internal+0xae /0x140 driver_detach+0x48/0x90 bus_remove_driver+0x6d/0xf0 pci_unregister_driver+0x2e/0xa0 pdsc_cleanup_module+0x10/0x780 [pds_core] __x64_sys_delete_module+0x142/0x2b0 ? syscall_trace_enter.isra.18+0x126/0x1a0 do_syscall_64+0x3b/0x90 Entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x72/0xdc RIP: 0033:0x7fbd9d03a14b [...] Solucione este problema evitando que devcmd se reinicie si el FW no se está ejecutando.

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
