CVSS v3.1 |
| Steeltoe is an open source project that provides a collection of libraries that helps users build cloud-native applications. In Steeltoe.Security.Authentication.CloudFoundryBase prior to version 3.4.0, Steeltoe.Security.Authentication.JwtBearer prior to version 4.2.0, and Steeltoe.Security.Authentication.OpenIdConnect prior to version 4.2.0, the JWT signing key cache in `TokenKeyResolver` uses `kid` as the sole cache key without namespacing by authority. In applications with multiple `JwtBearer` schemes pointing to different identity providers, a key fetched for one scheme can satisfy token validation for another. Additionally, cached keys have no expiration, so rotated or revoked keys remain trusted until the application process restarts. Steeltoe.Security.Authentication.CloudFoundryBase version 3.4.0, Steeltoe.Security.Authentication.JwtBearer version 4.2.0, and Steeltoe.Security.Authentication.OpenIdConnect version 4.2.0 patch the issue. If an immediate upgrade is not possible: In multi-scheme deployments, configure only one `JwtBearer` scheme per application when different identity providers are required; and/or restart the application process after an identity provider signing key rotation to clear stale cached keys. |

hfsplus: fix held lock freed on hfsplus_fill_super()
hfsplus_fill_super() calls hfs_find_init() to initialize a search
structure, which acquires tree->tree_lock. If the subsequent call to
hfsplus_cat_build_key() fails, the function jumps to the out_put_root
error label without releasing the lock. The later cleanup path then
frees the tree data structure with the lock still held, triggering a
held lock freed warning.
Fix this by adding the missing hfs_find_exit(&fd) call before jumping
to the out_put_root error label. This ensures that tree->tree_lock is
properly released on the error path.
The bug was originally detected on v6.13-rc1 using an experimental
static analysis tool we are developing, and we have verified that the
issue persists in the latest mainline kernel. The tool is specifically
designed to detect memory management issues. It is currently under active
development and not yet publicly available.
We confirmed the bug by runtime testing under QEMU with x86_64 defconfig,
lockdep enabled, and CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=y. To trigger the error path, we
used GDB to dynamically shrink the max_unistr_len parameter to 1 before
hfsplus_asc2uni() is called. This forces hfsplus_asc2uni() to naturally
return -ENAMETOOLONG, which propagates to hfsplus_cat_build_key() and
exercises the faulty error path. The following warning was observed
during mount:

net: ks8851: Reinstate disabling of BHs around IRQ handler
If the driver executes ks8851_irq() AND a TX packet has been sent, then
the driver enables TX queue via netif_wake_queue() which schedules TX
softirq to queue packets for this device.
If CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT=y is set AND a packet has also been received by
the MAC, then ks8851_rx_pkts() calls netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() to
allocate SKBs for the received packets. If netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align()
is called with BH enabled, then local_bh_enable() at the end of
netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() will trigger the pending softirq processing,
which may ultimately call the .xmit callback ks8851_start_xmit_par().
The ks8851_start_xmit_par() will try to lock struct ks8851_net_par
.lock spinlock, which is already locked by ks8851_irq() from which
ks8851_start_xmit_par() was called. This leads to a deadlock, which
is reported by the kernel, including a trace listed below.
If CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT is not set, then since commit 0913ec336a6c0
("net: ks8851: Fix deadlock with the SPI chip variant") the deadlock
can also be triggered without received packet in the RX FIFO. The
pending softirqs will be processed on return from
spin_unlock_bh(&ks->statelock) in ks8851_irq(), which triggers the
deadlock as well.
Fix the problem by disabling BH around critical sections, including the
IRQ handler, thus preventing the net_tx_action() softirq from triggering
during these critical sections. The net_tx_action() softirq is triggered
once BH are re-enabled and at the end of the IRQ handler, once all the
other IRQ handler actions have been completed.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Add missing save/restore handling of LBR MSRs
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR and LBR MSRs are currently not enumerated by
KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST, and LBR MSRs cannot be set with KVM_SET_MSRS. So
save/restore is completely broken.
Fix it by adding the MSRs to msrs_to_save_base, and allowing writes to
LBR MSRs from userspace only (as they are read-only MSRs) if LBR
virtualization is enabled. Additionally, to correctly restore L1's LBRs
while L2 is running, make sure the LBRs are copied from the captured
VMCB01 save area in svm_copy_vmrun_state().
Note, for VMX, this also fixes a flaw where MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR isn't
reported as an MSR to save/restore.
Note #2, over-reporting MSR_IA32_LASTxxx on Intel is ok, as KVM already
handles unsupported reads and writes thanks to commit b5e2fec0ebc3 ("KVM:
Ignore DEBUGCTL MSRs with no effect") (kvm_do_msr_access() will morph the
unsupported userspace write into a nop).

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/shstk: Prevent deadlock during shstk sigreturn
During sigreturn the shadow stack signal frame is popped. The kernel does
this by reading the shadow stack using normal read accesses. When it can't
assume the memory is shadow stack, it takes extra steps to makes sure it is
reading actual shadow stack memory and not other normal readable memory. It
does this by holding the mmap read lock while doing the access and checking
the flags of the VMA.
Unfortunately that is not safe. If the read of the shadow stack sigframe
hits a page fault, the fault handler will try to recursively grab another
mmap read lock. This normally works ok, but if a writer on another CPU is
also waiting, the second read lock could fail and cause a deadlock.
Fix this by not holding mmap lock during the read access to userspace.
Instead use mmap_lock_speculate_...() to watch for changes between dropping
mmap lock and the userspace access. Retry if anything grabbed an mmap write
lock in between and could have changed the VMA.
These mmap_lock_speculate_...() helpers use mm::mm_lock_seq, which is only
available when PER_VMA_LOCK is configured. So make X86_USER_SHADOW_STACK
depend on it. On x86, PER_VMA_LOCK is a default configuration for SMP
kernels. So drop support for the other configs under the assumption that
the !SMP shadow stack user base does not exist.
Currently there is a check that skips the lookup work when the SSP can be
assumed to be on a shadow stack. While reorganizing the function, remove
the optimization to make the tricky code flows more common, such that
issues like this cannot escape detection for so long. |

jbd2: fix deadlock in jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke()
Commit f76d4c28a46a ("fs/jbd2: use sleeping version of
__find_get_block()") changed jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke() to use
__find_get_block_nonatomic() which holds the folio lock instead of
i_private_lock. This breaks the lock ordering (folio -> buffer) and
causes an ABBA deadlock when the filesystem blocksize < pagesize:
T1 T2
ext4_mkdir()
ext4_init_new_dir()
ext4_append()
ext4_getblk()
lock_buffer() <- A
sync_blockdev()
blkdev_writepages()
writeback_iter()
writeback_get_folio()
folio_lock() <- B
ext4_journal_get_create_access()
jbd2_journal_cancel_revoke()
__find_get_block_nonatomic()
folio_lock() <- B
block_write_full_folio()
lock_buffer() <- A
This can occasionally cause generic/013 to hang.
Fix by only calling __find_get_block_nonatomic() when the passed
buffer_head doesn't belong to the bdev, which is the only case that we
need to look up its bdev alias. Otherwise, the lookup is redundant since
the found buffer_head is equal to the one we passed in. |

| vm2 is an open source vm/sandbox for Node.js. Prior to version 3.11.4, NodeVM exposes some process-wide observability builtins when they are allowed through require.builtin.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cgroup: Defer css percpu_ref kill on rmdir until cgroup is depopulated
A chain of commits going back to v7.0 reworked rmdir to satisfy the
controller invariant that a subsystem's ->css_offline() must not run while
tasks are still doing kernel-side work in the cgroup.
[1] d245698d727a ("cgroup: Defer task cgroup unlink until after the task is done switching out")
[2] a72f73c4dd9b ("cgroup: Don't expose dead tasks in cgroup")
[3] 1b164b876c36 ("cgroup: Wait for dying tasks to leave on rmdir")
[4] 4c56a8ac6869 ("cgroup: Fix cgroup_drain_dying() testing the wrong condition")
[5] 13e786b64bd3 ("cgroup: Increment nr_dying_subsys_* from rmdir context")
[1] moved task cset unlink from do_exit() to finish_task_switch() so a
task's cset link drops only after the task has fully stopped scheduling.
That made tasks past exit_signals() linger on cset->tasks until their final
context switch, which led to a series of problems as what userspace expected
to see after rmdir diverged from what the kernel needs to wait for. [2]-[5]
tried to bridge that divergence: [2] filtered the exiting tasks from
cgroup.procs; [3] had rmdir(2) sleep in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE for them; [4]
fixed the wait's condition; [5] made nr_dying_subsys_* visible
synchronously.
The cgroup_drain_dying() wait in [3] turned out to be a dead end. When the
rmdir caller is also the reaper of a zombie that pins a pidns teardown (e.g.
host PID 1 systemd reaping orphan pids that were re-parented to it during
the same teardown), rmdir blocks in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE waiting for those
pids to free, the pids can't free because PID 1 is the reaper and it's stuck
in rmdir, and the system A-A deadlocks. No internal lock ordering breaks
this; the wait itself is the bug.
The css killing side that drove the original reorder, however, can be made
cleanly asynchronous: ->css_offline() is already async, run from
css_killed_work_fn() driven by percpu_ref_kill_and_confirm(). The fix is to
make that chain start only after all tasks have left the cgroup. rmdir's
user-visible side then returns as soon as cgroup.procs and friends are
empty, while ->css_offline() still runs only after the cgroup is fully
drained.
Verified by the original reproducer (pidns teardown + zombie reaper, runs
under vng) which hangs vanilla and succeeds here, and by per-commit
deterministic repros for [2], [3], [4], [5] with a boot parameter that
widens the post-exit_signals() window so each state is reliably reachable.
Some stress tests on top of that.
cgroup_apply_control_disable() has the same shape of pre-existing race:
when a controller is disabled via subtree_control, kill_css() ran
synchronously while tasks past exit_signals() could still be linked to
the cgroup's csets, and ->css_offline() could fire before they drained.
This patch preserves the existing synchronous behavior at that call site
(kill_css_sync() + kill_css_finish() back-to-back) and a follow-up patch
will defer kill_css_finish() there using a per-css trigger.
This seems like the right approach and I don't see problems with it. The
changes are somewhat invasive but not excessively so, so backporting to
-stable should be okay. If something does turn out to be wrong, the fallback
is to revert the entire chain ([1]-[5]) and rework in the development branch
instead.
v2: Pin cgrp across the deferred destroy work with explicit
cgroup_get()/cgroup_put() around queue_work() and the work_fn. v1
wasn't actually broken (ordered cgroup_offline_wq + queue_work order
in cgroup_task_dead() saved it) but the explicit ref removes the
dependency on those non-obvious invariants. Also note the
pre-existing cgroup_apply_control_disable() race in the description;
a follow-up will defer kill_css_finish() there. |

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFS/localio: prevent direct reclaim recursion into NFS via nfs_writepages
LOCALIO is an NFS loopback mount optimization that avoids using the
network for READ, WRITE and COMMIT if the NFS client and server are
determined to be on the same system. But because LOCALIO is still
fundamentally "just NFS loopback mount" it is susceptible to recursion
deadlock via direct reclaim, e.g.: NFS LOCALIO down to XFS and then
back into NFS via nfs_writepages.
Fix LOCALIO's potential for direct reclaim deadlock by ensuring that
all its page cache allocations are done from GFP_NOFS context.
Thanks to Ben Coddington for pointing out commit ad22c7a043c2 ("xfs:
prevent stack overflows from page cache allocation"). |
