CVE-2021-46932 — Input: appletouch - initialize work before device registration

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Input: appletouch - initialize work before device registration

Syzbot has reported warning in __flush_work(). This warning is caused by work->func == NULL, which means missing work initialization.

This may happen, since input_dev->close() calls cancel_work_sync(&dev->work), but dev->work initalization happens _after_ input_register_device() call.

So this patch moves dev->work initialization before registering input device

USN-6938-1 — linux, linux-aws, linux-kvm, linux-lts-xenial vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS: linux-aws, Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS: linux-lts-xenial, Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: linux, Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: linux-aws, Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: linux-kvm

It was discovered that the device input subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly handle the case when an event code falls outside of a bitmap. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-48619)

黄思聪 discovered that the NFC Controller Interface (NCI) implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly handle certain memory allocation failure conditions, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2023-46343)

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the Unsorted Block Images (UBI) flash device volume management subsystem did not properly validate logical eraseblock sizes in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-25739)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - I2C subsystem; - Input Device Drivers (Mouse); - MTD block device drivers; - Network drivers; - TTY drivers; - USB subsystem; - File systems infrastructure; - F2FS…
