Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: fix slab-use-after-free due to dangling pointer dqi_priv When mounting ocfs2 and then remounting it as read-only, a
slab-use-after-free occurs after the user uses a syscall to
quota_getnextquota. Specifically, sb_dqinfo(sb, type)->dqi_priv is the
dangling pointer. During the remounting process, the pointer dqi_priv is freed but is never
set as null leaving it to be accessed. Additionally, the read-only option
for remounting sets the DQUOT_SUSPENDED flag instead of setting the
DQUOT_USAGE_ENABLED flags. Moreover, later in the process of getting the
next quota, the function ocfs2_get_next_id is called and only checks the
quota usage flags and not the quota suspended flags. To fix this, I set dqi_priv to null when it is freed after remounting with
read-only and put a check for DQUOT_SUSPENDED in ocfs2_get_next_id. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style cleanups]

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: ocfs2: se corrige slab-use-after-free debido al puntero colgante dqi_priv Al montar ocfs2 y luego volver a montarlo como de solo lectura, se produce un slab-use-after-free después de que el usuario usa una llamada al sistema a quota_getnextquota. Específicamente, sb_dqinfo(sb, type)->dqi_priv es el puntero colgante. Durante el proceso de remontaje, el puntero dqi_priv se libera pero nunca se establece como nulo, dejándolo para que se pueda acceder a él. Además, la opción de solo lectura para remontaje establece el indicador DQUOT_SUSPENDED en lugar de establecer los indicadores DQUOT_USAGE_ENABLED. Además, más adelante en el proceso de obtención de la siguiente cuota, se llama a la función ocfs2_get_next_id y solo verifica los indicadores de uso de cuota y no los indicadores de cuota suspendida. Para solucionar esto, establezco dqi_priv en nulo cuando se libera después de volver a montar con solo lectura y pongo una marca de verificación para DQUOT_SUSPENDED en ocfs2_get_next_id.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. Ye Zhang and Nicolas Wu discovered that the io_uring subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle locking for rings with IOPOLL, leading to a double-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code.
