Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In March 2024
there is a possible memory corruption due to a use after free. This could lead to local escalation of privilege with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: fix a memory corruption
iwl_fw_ini_trigger_tlv::data is a pointer to a __le32, which means that
if we copy to iwl_fw_ini_trigger_tlv::data + offset while offset is in
bytes, we'll write past the buffer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xsk: fix usage of multi-buffer BPF helpers for ZC XDP
Currently when packet is shrunk via bpf_xdp_adjust_tail() and memory
type is set to MEM_TYPE_XSK_BUFF_POOL, null ptr dereference happens:

This comes from __xdp_return() call with xdp_buff argument passed as
NULL which is supposed to be consumed by xsk_buff_free() call.
To address this properly, in ZC case, a node that represents the frag
being removed has to be pulled out of xskb_list. Introduce
appropriate xsk helpers to do such node operation and use them
accordingly within bpf_xdp_adjust_tail().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs, fscache: Prevent Oops in fscache_put_cache()
This function dereferences "cache" and then checks if it's
IS_ERR_OR_NULL(). Check first, then dereference.

net/smc: fix illegal rmb_desc access in SMC-D connection dump

It is possible that the connection is in process of being established
when we dump it. Assumed that the connection has been registered in a
link group by smc_conn_create() but the rmb_desc has not yet been
initialized by smc_buf_create(), thus causing the illegal access to
conn->rmb_desc. So fix it by checking before dump.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: scrub: avoid use-after-free when chunk length is not 64K aligned
[BUG]
There is a bug report that, on a ext4-converted btrfs, scrub leads to
various problems, including:
- "unable to find chunk map" errors
BTRFS info (device vdb): scrub: started on devid 1
BTRFS critical (device vdb): unable to find chunk map for logical 2214744064 length 4096
BTRFS critical (device vdb): unable to find chunk map for logical 2214744064 length 45056
This would lead to unrepariable errors.

- Crash, mostly due to above use-after-free
[CAUSE]
The converted fs has the following data chunk layout:
item 2 key (FIRST_CHUNK_TREE CHUNK_ITEM 2214658048) itemoff 16025 itemsize 80
length 86016 owner 2 stripe_len 65536 type DATA|single
For above logical bytenr 2214744064, it's at the chunk end
(2214658048 + 86016 = 2214744064).
This means btrfs_submit_bio() would split the bio, and trigger endio
function for both of the two halves.
However scrub_submit_initial_read() would only expect the endio function
to be called once, not any more.
This means the first endio function would already free the bbio::bio,
leaving the bvec freed, thus the 2nd endio call would lead to
use-after-free.
[FIX]
- Make sure scrub_read_endio() only updates bits in its range
Since we may read less than 64K at the end of the chunk, we should not
touch the bits beyond chunk boundary.
- Make sure scrub_submit_initial_read() only to read the chunk range
This is done by calculating the real number of sectors we need to
read, and add sector-by-sector to the bio.
Thankfully the scrub read repair path won't need extra fixes:
- scrub_stripe_submit_repair_read()
With above fixes, we won't update error bit for range beyond chunk,
thus scrub_stripe_submit_repair_read() should never submit any read
beyond the chunk.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/proc/task_mmu: move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock
Move mmu notification mechanism inside mm lock to prevent race condition
in other components which depend on it. The notifier will invalidate
memory range. Depending upon the number of iterations, different memory
ranges would be invalidated.
The following warning would be removed by this patch:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5067 at arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734 kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte+0x860/0x960 arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/kvm_main.c:734
There is no behavioural and performance change with this patch when
there is no component registered with the mmu notifier.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: narrow the scope of `range', per Sean]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64/sme: Always exit sme_alloc() early with existing storage
When sme_alloc() is called with existing storage and we are not flushing we
will always allocate new storage, both leaking the existing storage and
corrupting the state. Fix this by separating the checks for flushing and
for existing storage as we do for SVE.
Callers that reallocate (eg, due to changing the vector length) should
call sme_free() themselves.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: Fix module loading free order
Reverse order of kfree calls to resolve use-after-free error.
