To simply fix it, we could just pass @sign kmalloc'd from crypt_message() and then we're done. Luckily, we don't seem to pass any other vmalloc'd buffers in smb_rqst::rq_iov... Instead, let's map the correct pages and offsets from vmalloc buffers as well in cifs_sg_set_buf() and then avoiding such oopses. (CVE-2022-50341)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: hci_sysfs: Fix attempting to call device_add multiple times device_add shall not be called multiple times as stated in its documentation: 'Do not call this routine or device_register() more than once for any device structure' Syzkaller reports a bug as follows [1]: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:33! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN [...] Call Trace: <TASK> __list_add include/linux/list.h:69 [inline] list_add_tail include/linux/list.h:102 [inline] kobj_kset_join lib/kobject.c:164 [inline] kobject_add_internal+0x18f/0x8f0 lib/kobject.c:214 kobject_add_varg lib/kobject.c:358 [inline] kobject_add+0x150/0x1c0 lib/kobject.c:410 device_add+0x368/0x1e90 drivers/base/core.c:3452 hci_conn_add_sysfs+0x9b/0x1b0 net/bluetooth/hci_sysfs.c:53 hci_le_cis_estabilished_evt+0x57c/0xae0 net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:6799 hci_le_meta_evt+0x2b8/0x510 net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:7110 hci_event_func net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:7440 [inline] hci_event_packet+0x63d/0xfd0 net/bluetooth/hci_event.c:7495 hci_rx_work+0xae7/0x1230 net/bluetooth/hci_core.c:4007 process_one_work+0x991/0x1610 kernel/workqueue.c:2289 worker_thread+0x665/0x1080 kernel/workqueue.c:2436 kthread+0x2e4/0x3a0 kernel/kthread.c:376 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S:306 </TASK> (CVE-2022-50419)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: libsas: Fix use-after-free bug in smp_execute_task_sg() When executing SMP task failed, the smp_execute_task_sg() calls del_timer() to delete slow_task->timer. However, if the timer handler sas_task_internal_timedout() is running, the del_timer() in smp_execute_task_sg() will not stop it and a UAF will happen. The process is shown below:
(thread 1) | (thread 2) smp_execute_task_sg() | sas_task_internal_timedout() ... | del_timer() | ... | ...
sas_free_task(task) | kfree(task->slow_task) //FREE| | task->slow_task->... //USE Fix by calling del_timer_sync() in smp_execute_task_sg(), which makes sure the timer handler have finished before the task->slow_task is deallocated. (CVE-2022-50422)

- In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: lpfc: Fix use-after-free KFENCE violation during sysfs firmware write During the sysfs firmware write process, a use-after-free read warning is logged from the lpfc_wr_object() routine: BUG: KFENCE: use-after-free read in lpfc_wr_object+0x235/0x310 [lpfc] Use-after-free read at 0x0000000000cf164d (in kfence-#111):

Fix by moving the mailbox free calls to the end of the routine ensuring that we don't reference internal mailbox memory after release. (CVE-2023-53282)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
