Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In November 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix out-of-bounds write in trie_get_next_key()
trie_get_next_key() allocates a node stack with size trie->max_prefixlen,
while it writes (trie->max_prefixlen + 1) nodes to the stack when it has
full paths from the root to leaves. For example, consider a trie with
max_prefixlen is 8, and the nodes with key 0x00/0, 0x00/1, 0x00/2, ...
0x00/8 inserted. Subsequent calls to trie_get_next_key with _key with
.prefixlen = 8 make 9 nodes be written on the node stack with size 8.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix general protection fault in run_is_mapped_full
Fixed deleating of a non-resident attribute in ntfs_create_inode()
rollback.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Additional check in ni_clear()
Checking of NTFS_FLAGS_LOG_REPLAYING added to prevent access to
uninitialized bitmap during replay process.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix possible deadlock in mi_read
Mutex lock with another subclass used in ni_lock_dir().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Add rough attr alloc_size check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Check if more than chunk-size bytes are written
A incorrectly formatted chunk may decompress into
more than LZNT_CHUNK_SIZE bytes and a index out of bounds
will occur in s_max_off.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs3: Add bounds checking to mi_enum_attr()
Added bounds checking to make sure that every attr don't stray beyond
valid memory region.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: CPPC: Make rmw_lock a raw_spin_lock
The following BUG was triggered:

sugov_update_shared() locks a raw_spinlock while cpc_write() locks a
spinlock.
To have a correct wait-type order, update rmw_lock to a raw spinlock and
ensure that interrupts will be disabled on the CPU holding it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsdax: dax_unshare_iter needs to copy entire blocks
The code that copies data from srcmap to iomap in dax_unshare_iter is
very very broken, which bfoster's recent fsx changes have exposed.
If the pos and len passed to dax_file_unshare are not aligned to an
fsblock boundary, the iter pos and length in the _iter function will
reflect this unalignment.
dax_iomap_direct_access always returns a pointer to the start of the
kmapped fsdax page, even if its pos argument is in the middle of that
page. This is catastrophic for data integrity when iter->pos is not
aligned to a page, because daddr/saddr do not point to the same byte in
the file as iter->pos. Hence we corrupt user data by copying it to the
wrong place.
If iter->pos + iomap_length() in the _iter function not aligned to a
page, then we fail to copy a full block, and only partially populate the
destination block. This is catastrophic for data confidentiality
because we expose stale pmem contents.
Fix both of these issues by aligning copy_pos/copy_len to a page
boundary (remember, this is fsdax so 1 fsblock == 1 base page) so that
we always copy full blocks.
We're not done yet -- there's no call to invalidate_inode_pages2_range,
so programs that have the file range mmap'd will continue accessing the
old memory mapping after the file metadata updates have completed.
Be careful with the return value -- if the unshare succeeds, we still
need to return the number of bytes that the iomap iter thinks we're
operating on.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_payload: sanitize offset and length before calling skb_checksum()
If access to offset + length is larger than the skbuff length, then
skb_checksum() triggers BUG_ON().
skb_checksum() internally subtracts the length parameter while iterating
over skbuff, BUG_ON(len) at the end of it checks that the expected
length to be included in the checksum calculation is fully consumed.
