[PATCH v2] tee: fix uninitialized pointers with free attribute

by Ally Heev

Uninitialized pointers with `__free` attribute can cause undefined behavior as the memory assigned randomly to the pointer is freed automatically when the pointer goes out of scope. tee doesn't have any bugs related to this as of now, but it is better to initialize and assign pointers with `__free` attribute in one statement to ensure proper scope-based cleanup Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter(a)linaro.org> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/aPiG_F5EBQUjZqsl@stanley.mountain/ Signed-off-by: Ally Heev <allyheev(a)gmail.com> --- Changes in v2: - initializing variables to NULL at the declaration - Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251105-aheev-uninitialized-free-attr-tee-v1-1-2… --- drivers/tee/qcomtee/call.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/tee/qcomtee/call.c b/drivers/tee/qcomtee/call.c index ac134452cc9cfd384c28d41547545f2c5748d86c..65f9140d4e1f8909d072004fd24730543e320d74 100644 --- a/drivers/tee/qcomtee/call.c +++ b/drivers/tee/qcomtee/call.c @@ -645,7 +645,7 @@ static void qcomtee_get_version(struct tee_device *teedev, static void qcomtee_get_qtee_feature_list(struct tee_context *ctx, u32 id, u32 *version) { - struct qcomtee_object_invoke_ctx *oic __free(kfree); + struct qcomtee_object_invoke_ctx *oic __free(kfree) = NULL; struct qcomtee_object *client_env, *service; struct qcomtee_arg u[3] = { 0 }; int result; --- base-commit: c9cfc122f03711a5124b4aafab3211cf4d35a2ac change-id: 20251105-aheev-uninitialized-free-attr-tee-0221e45ec5a2 Best regards, -- Ally Heev <allyheev(a)gmail.com>

[PATCH] tee: fix illegal pointer dereference in tee_shm_put()

by yangzhao

In tee_shm_put(), there is not only the NULL pointer dereference, but also the illegal pointer dereference. shutdown() ---> __optee_disable_shm_cache --> shm = reg_pair_to_ptr(...); tee_shm_free(shm); --> tee_shm_put(shm); //crash: shm->ctx maybe NULL pointer or illegal pointer Check whether the pointer is NULL and whether the pointer address is valid. This issue occurs when rich world uses the 6.x version of the kernel and optee secure world uses a lower version (such as version 3.2), and it is highly likely to trigger a kernel panic when conducting hibernate tests.

[PATCH] hwrng: tpm: Do not enable by default

by Jan Kiszka

From: Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka(a)siemens.com> As seen with optee_ftpm, which uses ms-tpm-20-ref [1], a TPM may write the current time epoch to its NV storage every 4 seconds if there are commands sent to it. The 60 seconds periodic update of the entropy pool that the hwrng kthread does triggers this, causing about 4 writes per requests. Makes 2 millions per year for a 24/7 device, and that is a lot for its backing NV storage. It is therefore better to make the user intentionally enable this, providing a chance to read the warning.
