Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In September 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libfs: fix get_stashed_dentry()
get_stashed_dentry() tries to optimistically retrieve a stashed dentry
from a provided location. It needs to ensure to hold rcu lock before it
dereference the stashed location to prevent UAF issues. Use
rcu_dereference() instead of READ_ONCE() it's effectively equivalent
with some lockdep bells and whistles and it communicates clearly that
this expects rcu protection.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: bcm: Remove proc entry when dev is unregistered.
syzkaller reported a warning in bcm_connect() below. [0]
The repro calls connect() to vxcan1, removes vxcan1, and calls
connect() with ifindex == 0.
Calling connect() for a BCM socket allocates a proc entry.
Then, bcm_sk(sk)->bound is set to 1 to prevent further connect().
However, removing the bound device resets bcm_sk(sk)->bound to 0
in bcm_notify().
The 2nd connect() tries to allocate a proc entry with the same
name and sets NULL to bcm_sk(sk)->bcm_proc_read, leaking the
original proc entry.
Since the proc entry is available only for connect()ed sockets,
let's clean up the entry when the bound netdev is unregistered.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check denominator crb_pipes before used
[WHAT & HOW]
A denominator cannot be 0, and is checked before used.
This fixes 2 DIVIDE_BY_ZERO issues reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check denominator pbn_div before used
[WHAT & HOW]
A denominator cannot be 0, and is checked before used.
This fixes 1 DIVIDE_BY_ZERO issue reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/rtas: Prevent Spectre v1 gadget construction in sys_rtas()
Smatch warns:
arch/powerpc/kernel/rtas.c:1932 __do_sys_rtas() warn: potential
spectre issue 'args.args' [r] (local cap)
The 'nargs' and 'nret' locals come directly from a user-supplied
buffer and are used as indexes into a small stack-based array and as
inputs to copy_to_user() after they are subject to bounds checks.
Use array_index_nospec() after the bounds checks to clamp these values
for speculative execution.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Validate function returns
[WHAT & HOW]
Function return values must be checked before data can be used
in subsequent functions.
This fixes 4 CHECKED_RETURN issues reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Run DC_LOG_DC after checking link->link_enc
[WHAT]
The DC_LOG_DC should be run after link->link_enc is checked, not before.
This fixes 1 REVERSE_INULL issue reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Avoid excessive partition lengths
Avoid mounting filesystems where the partition would overflow the
32-bits used for block number. Also refuse to mount filesystems where
the partition length is so large we cannot safely index bits in a
block bitmap.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check UnboundedRequestEnabled's value
CalculateSwathAndDETConfiguration_params_st's UnboundedRequestEnabled
is a pointer (i.e. dml_bool_t *UnboundedRequestEnabled), and thus
if (p->UnboundedRequestEnabled) checks its address, not bool value.
This fixes 1 REVERSE_INULL issue reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/imagination: Free pvr_vm_gpuva after unlink
This caused a measurable memory leak. Although the individual
allocations are small, the leaks occurs in a high-usage codepath
(remapping or unmapping device memory) so they add up quickly.
