(CVE-2016-0774, Moderate) The same flawed fix was applied to stable branches from 2.6.32.y to 3.14.y inclusive, and I was able to reproduce the issue on 3.2.y. We need to give pipe_iov_copy_to_user() a separate offset variable and only update the buffer offset if it succeeds. References: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2016-0103.htmlSigned-off-by:

commit 5d150a98 upstream. When ipv6_find_hdr is used to find a fragment header (caller specifies target NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT) we erronously return -ENOENT for all fragments with nonzero offset. Before commit 9195bb8e, when target was specified, we did not enter the exthdr walk loop as nexthdr == target so this used to work. Now we do (so we can skip empty route headers). When we then stumble upon a frag with nonzero frag_off we must return -ENOENT ("header not found") only if the caller did not specifically request NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT. This allows nfables exthdr expression to match ipv6 fragments, e.g. via nft add rule ip6 filter input frag frag-off gt 0 Fixes: 9195bb8e ("ipv6: improve ipv6_find_hdr() to skip empty routing headers") Signed-off-by:

commit 6e522422 upstream. The VF administrative mac addresses (stored in the PF driver) are initialized to zero when the PF driver starts up. These addresses may be modified in the PF driver through ndo calls initiated by iproute2 or libvirt. While we allow the PF/host to change the VF admin mac address from zero to a valid unicast mac, we do not allow restoring the VF admin mac to zero. We currently only allow changing this mac to a different unicast mac. This leads to problems when libvirt scripts are used to deal with VF mac addresses, and libvirt attempts to revoke the mac so this host will not use it anymore. Fix this by allowing resetting a VF administrative MAC back to zero. Fixes: 8f7ba3ca ('net/mlx4: Add set VF mac address support') Signed-off-by:

commit 7099e2e1 upstream. Linux guests on Haswell (and also SandyBridge and Broadwell, at least) would crash if you decided to run a host command that uses PEBS, like perf record -e 'cpu/mem-stores/pp' -a This happens because KVM is using VMX MSR switching to disable PEBS, but SDM [2015-12] 18.4.4.4 Re-configuring PEBS Facilities explains why it isn't safe: When software needs to reconfigure PEBS facilities, it should allow a quiescent period between stopping the prior event counting and setting up a new PEBS event. The quiescent period is to allow any latent residual PEBS records to complete its capture at their previously specified buffer address (provided by IA32_DS_AREA). There might not be a quiescent period after the MSR switch, so a CPU ends up using host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA to access an area in guest's memory. (Or MSR switching is just buggy on some models.) The guest can learn something about the host this way: If the guest doesn't map address pointed by MSR_IA32_DS_AREA, it results in #PF where we leak host's MSR_IA32_DS_AREA through CR2. After that, a malicious guest can map and configure memory where MSR_IA32_DS_AREA is pointing and can therefore get an output from host's tracing. This is not a critical leak as the host must initiate with PEBS tracing and I have not been able to get a record from more than one instruction before vmentry in vmx_vcpu_run() (that place has most registers already overwritten with guest's). We could disable PEBS just few instructions before vmentry, but disabling it earlier shouldn't affect host tracing too much. We also don't need to switch MSR_IA32_PEBS_ENABLE on VMENTRY, but that optimization isn't worth its code, IMO. (If you are implementing PEBS for guests, be sure to handle the case where both host and guest enable PEBS, because this patch doesn't.) Fixes: 26a4f3c0 ("perf/x86: disable PEBS on a guest entry.")

commit 256faedc upstream. This reverts commit dbb17a21. It turns out that commit can cause problems for systems with multiple GPUs, and causes X to hang on at least a HP Pavilion dv7 with hybrid graphics. This got noticed originally in 4.4.4, where this patch had already gotten back-ported, but 4.5-rc7 was verified to have the same problem. Alexander Deucher says: "It looks like you have a muxed system so I suspect what's happening is that one of the display is being reported as connected for both the IGP and the dGPU and then the desktop environment gets confused or there some sort problem in the detect functions since the mux is not switched to the dGPU. I don't see an easy fix unless Dave has any ideas. I'd say just revert for now" Reported-by:

commit 197b958c upstream. The OSS sequencer client tries to drain the pending events at releasing. Unfortunately, as spotted by syzkaller fuzzer, this may lead to an unkillable process state when the event has been queued at the far future. Since the process being released can't be signaled any longer, it remains and waits for the echo-back event in that far future. Back to history, the draining feature was implemented at the time we misinterpreted POSIX definition for blocking file operation. Actually, such a behavior is superfluous at release, and we should just release the device as is instead of keeping it up forever. This patch just removes the draining call that may block the release for too long time unexpectedly.

commit be629c62 upstream. When a directory is deleted, we don't take too much care about killing off all the dirents that belong to it — on the basis that on remount, the scan will conclude that the directory is dead anyway. This doesn't work though, when the deleted directory contained a child directory which was moved *out*. In the early stages of the fs build we can then end up with an apparent hard link, with the child directory appearing both in its true location, and as a child of the original directory which are this stage of the mount process we don't *yet* know is defunct. To resolve this, take out the early special-casing of the "directories shall not have hard links" rule in jffs2_build_inode_pass1(), and let the normal nlink processing happen for directories as well as other inodes. Then later in the build process we can set ic->pino_nlink to the parent inode#, as is required for directories during normal operaton, instead of the nlink. And complain only *then* about hard links which are still in evidence even after killing off all the unreachable paths. Reported-by:

The commit modified jffs2_write_begin() to remove a deadlock with jffs2_garbage_collect_live(), but this introduced new deadlocks found by multiple users. page_lock() actually has to be called before mutex_lock(&c->alloc_sem) or mutex_lock(&f->sem) because jffs2_write_end() and jffs2_readpage() are called with the page locked, and they acquire c->alloc_sem and f->sem, resp. In other words, the lock order in jffs2_write_begin() was correct, and it is the jffs2_garbage_collect_live() path that has to be changed. Revert the commit to get rid of the new deadlocks, and to clear the way for a better fix of the original deadlock. Reported-by:

commit 7a36b930 upstream. The value 5000 was put here with the addition of the timeout field to ieee80211_start_tx_ba_session. It was originally added in mac80211 to save resources for drivers like iwlwifi, which only supports a limited number of concurrent aggregation sessions. Since iwlwifi does not use minstrel_ht and other drivers don't need this, 0 is a better default - especially since there have been recent reports of aggregation setup related issues reproduced with ath9k. This should improve stability without causing any adverse effects. Acked-by:

commit 287e6611 upstream. As reported by Soohoon Lee, the HDIO_GET_32BIT ioctl does not work correctly in compat mode with libata. I have investigated the issue further and found multiple problems that all appeared with the same commit that originally introduced HDIO_GET_32BIT handling in libata back in linux-2.6.8 and presumably also linux-2.4, as the code uses "copy_to_user(arg, &val, 1)" to copy a 'long' variable containing either 0 or 1 to user space. The problems with this are: * On big-endian machines, this will always write a zero because it stores the wrong byte into user space. * In compat mode, the upper three bytes of the variable are updated by the compat_hdio_ioctl() function, but they now contain uninitialized stack data. * The hdparm tool calling this ioctl uses a 'static long' variable to store the result. This means at least the upper bytes are initialized to zero, but calling another ioctl like HDIO_GET_MULTCOUNT would fill them with data that remains stale when the low byte is overwritten. Fortunately libata doesn't implement any of the affected ioctl commands, so this would only happen when we query both an IDE and an ATA device in the same command such as "hdparm -N -c /dev/hda /dev/sda" * The libata code for unknown reasons started using ATA_IOC_GET_IO32 and ATA_IOC_SET_IO32 as aliases for HDIO_GET_32BIT and HDIO_SET_32BIT, while the ioctl commands that were added later use the normal HDIO_* names. This is harmless but rather confusing. This addresses all four issues by changing the code to use put_user() on an 'unsigned long' variable in HDIO_GET_32BIT, like the IDE subsystem does, and by clarifying the names of the ioctl commands.
