Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In November 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/probes: Fix MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit handling
When creating a trace_probe we would set nr_args prior to truncating the
arguments to MAX_TRACE_ARGS. However, we would only initialize arguments
up to the limit.
This caused invalid memory access when attempting to set up probes with
more than 128 fetchargs.

Resolve the issue by applying the MAX_TRACE_ARGS limit earlier. Return
an error when there are too many arguments instead of silently
truncating.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: qcom: sc7280: Fix missing Soundwire runtime stream alloc
Commit 15c7fab0e047 ("ASoC: qcom: Move Soundwire runtime stream alloc to
soundcards") moved the allocation of Soundwire stream runtime from the
Qualcomm Soundwire driver to each individual machine sound card driver,
except that it forgot to update SC7280 card.
Just like for other Qualcomm sound cards using Soundwire, the card
driver should allocate and release the runtime. Otherwise sound
playback will result in a NULL pointer dereference or other effect of
uninitialized memory accesses (which was confirmed on SDM845 having
similar issue).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix race between laundromat and free_stateid
There is a race between laundromat handling of revoked delegations
and a client sending free_stateid operation. Laundromat thread
finds that delegation has expired and needs to be revoked so it
marks the delegation stid revoked and it puts it on a reaper list
but then it unlock the state lock and the actual delegation revocation
happens without the lock. Once the stid is marked revoked a racing
free_stateid processing thread does the following (1) it calls
list_del_init() which removes it from the reaper list and (2) frees
the delegation stid structure. The laundromat thread ends up not
calling the revoke_delegation() function for this particular delegation
but that means it will no release the lock lease that exists on
the file.
Now, a new open for this file comes in and ends up finding that
lease list isn't empty and calls nfsd_breaker_owns_lease() which ends
up trying to derefence a freed delegation stateid. Leading to the
followint use-after-free KASAN warning:

This patch proposes a fixed that's based on adding 2 new additional
stid's sc_status values that help coordinate between the laundromat
and other operations (nfsd4_free_stateid() and nfsd4_delegreturn()).
First to make sure, that once the stid is marked revoked, it is not
removed by the nfsd4_free_stateid(), the laundromat take a reference
on the stateid. Then, coordinating whether the stid has been put
on the cl_revoked list or we are processing FREE_STATEID and need to
make sure to remove it from the list, each check that state and act
accordingly. If laundromat has added to the cl_revoke list before
the arrival of FREE_STATEID, then nfsd4_free_stateid() knows to remove
it from the list. If nfsd4_free_stateid() finds that operations arrived
before laundromat has placed it on cl_revoke list, it marks the state
freed and then laundromat will no longer add it to the list.
Also, for nfsd4_delegreturn() when looking for the specified stid,
we need to access stid that are marked removed or freeable, it means
the laundromat has started processing it but hasn't finished and this
delegreturn needs to return nfserr_deleg_revoked and not
nfserr_bad_stateid. The latter will not trigger a FREE_STATEID and the
lack of it will leave this stid on the cl_revoked list indefinitely.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Disable PSR-SU on Parade 08-01 TCON too
Stuart Hayhurst has found that both at bootup and fullscreen VA-API video
is leading to black screens for around 1 second and kernel WARNING [1] traces
when calling dmub_psr_enable() with Parade 08-01 TCON.
These symptoms all go away with PSR-SU disabled for this TCON, so disable
it for now while DMUB traces [2] from the failure can be analyzed and the failure
state properly root caused.
(cherry picked from commit afb634a6823d8d9db23c5fb04f79c5549349628b)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/raid10: fix null ptr dereference in raid10_size()
In raid10_run() if raid10_set_queue_limits() succeed, the return value
is set to zero, and if following procedures failed raid10_run() will
return zero while mddev->private is still NULL, causing null ptr
dereference in raid10_size().
Fix the problem by only overwrite the return value if
raid10_set_queue_limits() failed.

Fixes copying of xfrm algorithms where some random

Padding in structures may be filled with random (possibly sensitve)
data and should never be given directly to user-space.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with Syzkaller.

x86/lam: Disable ADDRESS_MASKING in most cases
Linear Address Masking (LAM) has a weakness related to transient
execution as described in the SLAM paper[1]. Unless Linear Address
Space Separation (LASS) is enabled this weakness may be exploitable.
Until kernel adds support for LASS[2], only allow LAM for COMPILE_TEST,
or when speculation mitigations have been disabled at compile time,
otherwise keep LAM disabled.
There are no processors in market that support LAM yet, so currently
nobody is affected by this issue.

[ dhansen: update SPECULATION_MITIGATIONS -> CPU_MITIGATIONS ]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firewire: core: fix invalid port index for parent device
In a commit 24b7f8e5cd65 ("firewire: core: use helper functions for self
ID sequence"), the enumeration over self ID sequence was refactored with
some helper functions with KUnit tests. These helper functions are
guaranteed to work expectedly by the KUnit tests, however their application
includes a mistake to assign invalid value to the index of port connected
to parent device.
This bug affects the case that any extra node devices which has three or
more ports are connected to 1394 OHCI controller. In the case, the path
to update the tree cache could hits WARN_ON(), and gets general protection
fault due to the access to invalid address computed by the invalid value.
This commit fixes the bug to assign correct port index.
