Affected: Alpaquita:23: linux-lts, Alpaquita:25: linux-lts, Alpaquita:stream: linux-lts

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

crypto: authencesn - Do not place hiseq at end of dst for out-of-place decryption

When decrypting data that is not in-place (src != dst), there is no need to save the high-order sequence bits in dst as it could simply be re-copied from the source.

However, the data to be hashed need to be rearranged accordingly.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the additional GNU/Linux subsystem of the firmware version V3.1.6 for the SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP MFP (incl. SIPLUS variant).

Siemens is preparing fix versions and recommends specific countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available.

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

Revert "smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod"

This reverts commit e9f2517a3e18a54a3943c098d2226b245d488801.

Commit e9f2517a3e18 ("smb: client: fix TCP timers deadlock after rmmod") is intended to fix a null-ptr-deref in LOCKDEP, which is mentioned as CVE-2024-54680, but is actually did not fix anything; The issue can be reproduced on top of it. [0]

Also, it reverted the change by commit ef7134c7fc48 ("smb: client: Fix use-after-free of network namespace.") and introduced a real issue by reviving the kernel TCP socket.

When a reconnect happens for a CIFS connection, the socket state transitions to FIN_WAIT_1. Then, inet_csk_clear_xmit_timers_sync() in tcp_close() stops all timers for the socket.

If an incoming FIN packet is lost, the socket will stay at FIN_WAIT_1 forever, and such sockets could be leaked up to net.ipv4.tcp_max_orphans.

Usually, FIN can be retransmitted by the peer, but if the peer aborts the connection, the issue comes into reality.

I warned about this privately by pointing out the exact report [1], but the bogus fix was finally merged.

So, we should not stop the timers to finally kill the connection on our side in that case, meaning we must not use a kernel socket for TCP whose sk->sk_net_refcnt is 0.

The kernel socket does not have a reference to its netns to ma…

Security update for the Linux Kernel

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in the additional GNU/Linux subsystem of the firmware version V3.1.6 for the SIMATIC S7-1500 CPU 1518(F)-4 PN/DP MFP (incl. SIPLUS variant).

Siemens has released new versions for several affected products and recommends to update to the latest versions. Siemens is preparing further fix versions and recommends specific countermeasures for products where fixes are not, or not yet available.
