Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In September 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: fix null pointer deref in bond_ipsec_offload_ok
We must check if there is an active slave before dereferencing the pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: prevent concurrent execution of tcp_sk_exit_batch
Its possible that two threads call tcp_sk_exit_batch() concurrently,
once from the cleanup_net workqueue, once from a task that failed to clone
a new netns. In the latter case, error unwinding calls the exit handlers
in reverse order for the 'failed' netns.
tcp_sk_exit_batch() calls tcp_twsk_purge().
Problem is that since commit b099ce2602d8 ("net: Batch inet_twsk_purge"),
this function picks up twsk in any dying netns, not just the one passed
in via exit_batch list.
This means that the error unwind of setup_net() can "steal" and destroy
timewait sockets belonging to the exiting netns.
This allows the netns exit worker to proceed to call
WARN_ON_ONCE(!refcount_dec_and_test(&net->ipv4.tcp_death_row.tw_refcount));
without the expected 1 -> 0 transition, which then splats.
At same time, error unwind path that is also running inet_twsk_purge()
will splat as well:
WARNING: .. at lib/refcount.c:31 refcount_warn_saturate+0x1ed/0x210

create_new_namespaces+0x3ea/0xb10 kernel/nsproxy.c:110
... because refcount_dec() of tw_refcount unexpectedly dropped to 0.
This doesn't seem like an actual bug (no tw sockets got lost and I don't
see a use-after-free) but as erroneous trigger of debug check.
Add a mutex to force strict ordering: the task that calls tcp_twsk_purge()
blocks other task from doing final _dec_and_test before mutex-owner has
removed all tw sockets of dying netns.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb/client: avoid possible NULL dereference in cifs_free_subrequest()
Clang static checker (scan-build) warning:
cifsglob.h:line 890, column 3
Access to field 'ops' results in a dereference of a null pointer.
Commit 519be989717c ("cifs: Add a tracepoint to track credits involved in
R/W requests") adds a check for 'rdata->server', and let clang throw this
warning about NULL dereference.
When 'rdata->credits.value != 0 && rdata->server == NULL' happens,
add_credits_and_wake_if() will call rdata->server->ops->add_credits().
This will cause NULL dereference problem. Add a check for 'rdata->server'
to avoid NULL dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/v3d: Fix out-of-bounds read in `v3d_csd_job_run()`
When enabling UBSAN on Raspberry Pi 5, we get the following warning:
[ 387.894977] UBSAN: array-index-out-of-bounds in drivers/gpu/drm/v3d/v3d_sched.c:320:3

This happens because the UAPI provides only seven configuration
registers and we are reading the eighth position of this u32 array.
Therefore, fix the out-of-bounds read in `v3d_csd_job_run()` by
accessing only seven positions on the '__u32 [7]' array. The eighth
register exists indeed on V3D 7.1, but it isn't currently used. That
being so, let's guarantee that it remains unused and add a note that it
could be set in a future patch.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: Restore lost return in iommu_report_device_fault()
When iommu_report_device_fault gets called with a partial fault it is
supposed to collect the fault into the group and then return.
Instead the return was accidently deleted which results in trying to
process the fault and an eventual crash.
Deleting the return was a typo, put it back.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix a deadlock problem when config TC during resetting
When config TC during the reset process, may cause a deadlock, the flow is
as below:
pf reset start
│
▼
......
setup tc │
│ ▼
▼ DOWN: napi_disable()
napi_disable()(skip) │
│ │
▼ ▼
...... ......
│ │
▼ │
napi_enable() │
▼
UINIT: netif_napi_del()
│
▼
......
│
▼
INIT: netif_napi_add()
│
▼
...... global reset start
│ │
▼ ▼
UP: napi_enable()(skip) ......
│ │
▼ ▼
...... napi_disable()
In reset process, the driver will DOWN the port and then UINIT, in this
case, the setup tc process will UP the port before UINIT, so cause the
problem. Adds a DOWN process in UINIT to fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vsock: fix recursive ->recvmsg calls
After a vsock socket has been added to a BPF sockmap, its prot->recvmsg
has been replaced with vsock_bpf_recvmsg(). Thus the following
recursiion could happen:
vsock_bpf_recvmsg()
-> __vsock_recvmsg()
-> vsock_connectible_recvmsg()
-> prot->recvmsg()
-> vsock_bpf_recvmsg() again
We need to fix it by calling the original ->recvmsg() without any BPF
sockmap logic in __vsock_recvmsg().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: mtk_wed: fix use-after-free panic in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb()
When there are multiple ap interfaces on one band and with WED on,
turning the interface down will cause a kernel panic on MT798X.
Previously, cb_priv was freed in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block() without
marking NULL,and mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb() didn't check the value, too.
Assign NULL after free cb_priv in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block() and check NULL
in mtk_wed_setup_tc_block_cb().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: idt77252: prevent use after free in dequeue_rx()
We can't dereference "skb" after calling vcc->push() because the skb
is released.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gtp: pull network headers in gtp_dev_xmit()
syzbot/KMSAN reported use of uninit-value in get_dev_xmit() [1]
We must make sure the IPv4 or Ipv6 header is pulled in skb->head
before accessing fields in them.
Use pskb_inet_may_pull() to fix this issue.
