Overview

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: media: ti: j721e-csi2rx: fix list_del corruption If ti_csi2rx_start_dma() fails in ti_csi2rx_dma_callback(), the buffer is marked done with VB2_BUF_STATE_ERROR but is not removed from the DMA queue. This causes the same buffer to be retried in the next iteration, resulting in a double list_del() and eventual list corruption. Fix this by removing the buffer from the queue before calling vb2_buffer_done() on error. This resolves a crash due to list_del corruption: [ 37.811243] j721e-csi2rx 30102000.ticsi2rx: Failed to queue the next buffer for DMA [ 37.832187] slab kmalloc-2k start ffff00000255b000 pointer offset 1064 size 2048 [ 37.839761] list_del corruption. next->prev should be ffff00000255bc28, but was ffff00000255d428.

  1. In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cgroup: Avoid iteration of dying tasks with zero refcount The commit 260fbcb92bbea ("cgroup: Move dying_tasks cleanup from cgroup_task_release() to cgroup_task_free()") extended the lifetime of tasks on the dying_tasks list. The iterators have provision to go through dying_tasks because of dying threadgroup leaders or explicit CSS_TASK_ITER_WITH_DEAD, however, it was expected that such tasks can obtain a new reference (that is possible before cgroup_task_release()/put_task_struct_rcu_user()). The tasks after cgroup_task_release() and before cgroup_task_free() are subject to race when they may or may not have ->usage count > 0. The race window is between css_task_iter_next() invocations when css_set_lock is released and we may arrive at a new ->task_pos. The iterator should not attempt to resurrect tasks whose ->usage count dropped to zero. (When that happens, __put_task_struct_rcu_cb() is already imminent and the returned task_struct would could be used after free.) As for the fix, we cannot simply check the signal->live count of a task on the dying list because that won't distinguish regular zombies waiting to be reaped from RCU remnant tasks that are going to be free'd. Therefore add an extra check to rule out ->usage==0 tasks from any iteration. The repeat: loop in css_task_iter_advance() doesn't consider ->usage count, so add a new loop to css_task_iter_next() to skip de-used tasks on the dying_list.
