Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In September 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
parisc: fix a possible DMA corruption
ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN was defined as 16 - this is too small - it may be
possible that two unrelated 16-byte allocations share a cache line. If
one of these allocations is written using DMA and the other is written
using cached write, the value that was written with DMA may be
corrupted.
This commit changes ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to be 128 on PA20 and 32 on PA1.1 -
that's the largest possible cache line size.
As different parisc microarchitectures have different cache line size, we
define arch_slab_minalign(), cache_line_size() and
dma_get_cache_alignment() so that the kernel may tune slab cache
parameters dynamically, based on the detected cache line size.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: sc16is7xx: fix invalid FIFO access with special register set
When enabling access to the special register set, Receiver time-out and
RHR interrupts can happen. In this case, the IRQ handler will try to read
from the FIFO thru the RHR register at address 0x00, but address 0x00 is
mapped to DLL register, resulting in erroneous FIFO reading.
Call graph example:
sc16is7xx_startup(): entry
sc16is7xx_ms_proc(): entry
sc16is7xx_set_termios(): entry
sc16is7xx_set_baud(): DLH/DLL = $009C --> access special register set
sc16is7xx_port_irq() entry --> IIR is 0x0C
sc16is7xx_handle_rx() entry
sc16is7xx_fifo_read(): --> unable to access FIFO (RHR) because it is
mapped to DLL (LCR=LCR_CONF_MODE_A)
sc16is7xx_set_baud(): exit --> Restore access to general register set
Fix the problem by claiming the efr_lock mutex when accessing the Special
register set.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: sc16is7xx: fix TX fifo corruption
Sometimes, when a packet is received on channel A at almost the same time
as a packet is about to be transmitted on channel B, we observe with a
logic analyzer that the received packet on channel A is transmitted on
channel B. In other words, the Tx buffer data on channel B is corrupted
with data from channel A.
The problem appeared since commit 4409df5866b7 ("serial: sc16is7xx: change
EFR lock to operate on each channels"), which changed the EFR locking to
operate on each channel instead of chip-wise.
This commit has introduced a regression, because the EFR lock is used not
only to protect the EFR registers access, but also, in a very obscure and
undocumented way, to protect access to the data buffer, which is shared by
the Tx and Rx handlers, but also by each channel of the IC.
Fix this regression first by switching to kfifo_out_linear_ptr() in
sc16is7xx_handle_tx() to eliminate the need for a shared Rx/Tx buffer.
Secondly, replace the chip-wise Rx buffer with a separate Rx buffer for
each channel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: ufs: core: Fix deadlock during RTC update
There is a deadlock when runtime suspend waits for the flush of RTC work,
and the RTC work calls ufshcd_rpm_get_sync() to wait for runtime resume.
Here is deadlock backtrace:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: line6: Fix racy access to midibuf
There can be concurrent accesses to line6 midibuf from both the URB
completion callback and the rawmidi API access. This could be a cause
of KMSAN warning triggered by syzkaller below (so put as reported-by
here).
This patch protects the midibuf call of the former code path with a
spinlock for avoiding the possible races.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe/preempt_fence: enlarge the fence critical section
It is really easy to introduce subtle deadlocks in
preempt_fence_work_func() since we operate on single global ordered-wq
for signalling our preempt fences behind the scenes, so even though we
signal a particular fence, everything in the callback should be in the
fence critical section, since blocking in the callback will prevent
other published fences from signalling. If we enlarge the fence critical
section to cover the entire callback, then lockdep should be able to
understand this better, and complain if we grab a sensitive lock like
vm->lock, which is also held when waiting on preempt fences.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen: privcmd: Switch from mutex to spinlock for irqfds
irqfd_wakeup() gets EPOLLHUP, when it is called by
eventfd_release() by way of wake_up_poll(&ctx->wqh, EPOLLHUP), which
gets called under spin_lock_irqsave(). We can't use a mutex here as it
will lead to a deadlock.
Fix it by switching over to a spin lock.

sched/smt: Fix unbalance sched_smt_present dec/inc
I got the following warn report while doing stress test:
jump label: negative count!
WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 38 at kernel/jump_label.c:263 static_key_slow_try_dec+0x9d/0xb0

Because when cpuset_cpu_inactive() fails in sched_cpu_deactivate(),
the cpu offline failed, but sched_smt_present is decremented before
calling sched_cpu_deactivate(), it leads to unbalanced dec/inc, so
fix it by incrementing sched_smt_present in the error path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracefs: Use generic inode RCU for synchronizing freeing
With structure layout randomization enabled for 'struct inode' we need to
avoid overlapping any of the RCU-used / initialized-only-once members,
e.g. i_lru or i_sb_list to not corrupt related list traversals when making
use of the rcu_head.
For an unlucky structure layout of 'struct inode' we may end up with the
following splat when running the ftrace selftests:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: core: Check for unset descriptor
Make sure the descriptor has been set before looking at maxpacket.
This fixes a null pointer panic in this case.
This may happen if the gadget doesn't properly set up the endpoint
for the current speed, or the gadget descriptors are malformed and
the descriptor for the speed/endpoint are not found.
No current gadget driver is known to have this problem, but this
may cause a hard-to-find bug during development of new gadgets.
