x86/xen: Drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/xen: Drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call commit afd30525a659ac0ae0904f0cb4a2ca75522c3123 upstream. USERGS_SYSRET64 is used to return from a syscall via SYSRET, but a Xen PV guest will nevertheless use the IRET hypercall, as there is no sysret PV hypercall defined. So instead of testing all the prerequisites for doing a sysret and then mangling the stack for Xen PV again for doing an iret just use the iret exit from the beginning. This can easily be done via an ALTERNATIVE like it is done for the sysenter compat case already. It should be noted that this drops the optimization in Xen for not restoring a few registers when returning to user mode, but it seems as if the saved instructions in the kernel more than compensate for this drop (a kernel build in a Xen PV guest was slightly faster with this patch applied). While at it remove the stale sysret32 remnants. [ pawan: Brad Spengler and Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org> reported a problem with the 5.10 backport commit edc702b4a820 ("x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before userspace transition"). When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y, CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS is not executed in syscall_return_via_sysret path as USERGS_SYSRET64 is runtime patched to: .cpu_usergs_sysret64 = { 0x0f, 0x01, 0xf8, 0x48, 0x0f, 0x07 }, // swapgs; sysretq which is missing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS. It turns out dropping USERGS_SYSRET64 simplifies the code, allowing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS to be explicitly added to syscall_return_via_sysret path. Below is with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y and this patch applied: syscall_return_via_sysret: ... <+342>: swapgs <+345>: xchg %ax,%ax <+347>: verw -0x1a2(%rip) <------ <+354>: sysretq ]

The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, IP implementation is vulnerable to denial of service conditions with low rates of specially modified packets

The Linux kernel, versions 3.9+, is vulnerable to a denial of service attack with low rates of specially modified packets targeting IP fragment re-assembly. An attacker may cause a denial of service condition by sending specially crafted IP fragments. Various vulnerabilities in IP fragmentation have been discovered and fixed over the years. The current vulnerability (CVE-2018-5391) became exploitable in the Linux kernel with the increase of the IP fragment reassembly queue size.

isdn: mISDN: netjet: Fix crash in nj_probe:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: isdn: mISDN: netjet: Fix crash in nj_probe: 'nj_setup' in netjet.c might fail with -EIO and in this case 'card->irq' is initialized and is bigger than zero. A subsequent call to 'nj_release' will free the irq that has not been requested. Fix this bug by deleting the previous assignment to 'card->irq' and just keep the assignment before 'request_irq'. The KASAN's log reveals it: [ 3.354615 ] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at kernel/irq/manage.c:1826 free_irq+0x100/0x480 [ 3.355112 ] Modules linked in: [ 3.355310 ] CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.13.0-rc1-00144-g25a1298726e #13 [ 3.355816 ] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS rel-1.12.0-59-gc9ba5276e321-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [ 3.356552 ] RIP: 0010:free_irq+0x100/0x480 [ 3.356820 ] Code: 6e 08 74 6f 4d 89 f4 e8 5e ac 09 00 4d 8b 74 24 18 4d 85 f6 75 e3 e8 4f ac 09 00 8b 75 c8 48 c7 c7 78 c1 2e 85 e8 e0 cf f5 ff <0f> 0b 48 8b 75 c0 4c 89 ff e8 72 33 0b 03 48 8b 43 40 4c 8b a0 80 [ 3.358012 ] RSP: 0000:ffffc90000017b48 EFLAGS: 00010082 [ 3.358357 ] RAX: 0000000000000000 RBX: ffff888104dc8000 RCX: 0000000000000000 [ 3.358814 ] RDX: ffff8881003c8000 RSI: ffffffff8124a9e6 RDI: 00000000ffffffff [ 3.359272 ] RBP: ffffc90000017b88 R08: 0000000000000000 R09: 0000000000000000 [ 3.359732 ] R10: ffffc900000179f0 R11: 0000000000001d04 R12: 0000000000000000 [ 3.360195 ] R13: ffff888107dc6000 R14: ffff888107dc6928 R15: ffff888104dc80a8 [ 3.360652 ] FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff88817bc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [ 3.361170 ] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [ 3.361538 ] CR2: 0000000000000000 CR3: 000000000582e000 CR4: 00000000000006f0 [ 3.362003 ] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [ 3.362175 ] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [ 3.362175 ] Call Trace: [ 3.362175 ] nj_release+0x51/0x1e0 [ 3.362175 ] nj_probe+0x450/0x950 [ 3.362175 ] ? pci_device_remove+0x110/0x110 [ 3.362175 ] local_pci_probe+0x45/0xa0 [ 3.362175 ] pci_device_probe+0x12b/0x1d0 [ 3.362175 ] really_probe+0x2a9/0x610 [ 3.362175 ] driver_probe_device+0x90/0x1d0 [ 3.362175 ] ? mutex_lock_nested+0x1b/0x20 [ 3.362175 ] device_driver_attach+0x68/0x70 [ 3.362175 ] __driver_attach+0x124/0x1b0 [ 3.362175 ] ? device_driver_attach+0x70/0x70 [ 3.362175 ] bus_for_each_dev+0xbb/0x110 [ 3.362175 ] ? rdinit_setup+0x45/0x45 [ 3.362175 ] driver_attach+0x27/0x30 [ 3.362175 ] bus_add_driver+0x1eb/0x2a0 [ 3.362175 ] driver_register+0xa9/0x180 [ 3.362175 ] __pci_register_driver+0x82/0x90 [ 3.362175 ] ? w6692_init+0x38/0x38 [ 3.362175 ] nj_init+0x36/0x38 [ 3.362175 ] do_one_initcall+0x7f/0x3d0 [ 3.362175 ] ? rdinit_setup+0x45/0x45 [ 3.362175 ] ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x4f/0x80 [ 3.362175 ] kernel_init_freeable+0x2aa/0x301 [ 3.362175 ] ? rest_init+0x2c0/0x2c0 [ 3.362175 ] kernel_init+0x18/0x190 [ 3.362175 ] ? rest_init+0x2c0/0x2c0 [ 3.362175 ] ? rest_init+0x2c0/0x2c0 [ 3.362175 ] ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 [ 3.362175 ] Kernel panic - not syncing: panic_on_warn set ...

The TCP stack in the Linux kernel 3.x does not properly implement a SYN cookie protection mechanism for the case of a fast network connection, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) by sending many TCP SYN packets, as demonstrated by an attack against the kernel-3.10.0 package in CentOS Linux 7. NOTE: third parties have been unable to discern any relationship between the GitHub Engineering finding and the Trigemini.c attack code.

An issue was discovered in Xen through 4.13.x, allowing x86 Intel HVM guest OS users to cause a host OS denial of service or possibly gain privileges because of insufficient cache write-back under VT-d. When page tables are shared between IOMMU and CPU, changes to them require flushing of both TLBs. Furthermore, IOMMUs may be non-coherent, and hence prior to flushing IOMMU TLBs, a CPU cache also needs writing back to memory after changes were made. Such writing back of cached data was missing in particular when splitting large page mappings into smaller granularity ones. A malicious guest may be able to retain read/write DMA access to frames returned to Xen's free pool, and later reused for another purpose. Host crashes (leading to a Denial of Service) and privilege escalation cannot be ruled out. Xen versions from at least 3.2 onwards are affected. Only x86 Intel systems are affected. x86 AMD as well as Arm systems are not affected. Only x86 HVM guests using hardware assisted paging (HAP), having a passed through PCI device assigned, and having page table sharing enabled can leverage the vulnerability. Note that page table sharing will be enabled (by default) only if Xen considers IOMMU and CPU large page size support compatible.
