Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In January 2025
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: fix a missing return value check bug
In the smb2_send_interim_resp(), if ksmbd_alloc_work_struct()
fails to allocate a node, it returns a NULL pointer to the
in_work pointer. This can lead to an illegal memory write of
in_work->response_buf when allocate_interim_rsp_buf() attempts
to perform a kzalloc() on it.
To address this issue, incorporating a check for the return
value of ksmbd_alloc_work_struct() ensures that the function
returns immediately upon allocation failure, thereby preventing
the aforementioned illegal memory access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Set private->all_drm_private[i]->drm to NULL if mtk_drm_bind returns err
The pointer need to be set to NULL, otherwise KASAN complains about
use-after-free. Because in mtk_drm_bind, all private's drm are set
as follows.
private->all_drm_private[i]->drm = drm;
And drm will be released by drm_dev_put in case mtk_drm_kms_init returns
failure. However, the shutdown path still accesses the previous allocated
memory in drm_atomic_helper_shutdown.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfs: Fix oops in nfs_netfs_init_request() when copying to cache
When netfslib wants to copy some data that has just been read on behalf of
nfs, it creates a new write request and calls nfs_netfs_init_request() to
initialise it, but with a NULL file pointer. This causes
nfs_file_open_context() to oops - however, we don't actually need the nfs
context as we're only going to write to the cache.
Fix this by just returning if we aren't given a file pointer and emit a
warning if the request was for something other than copy-to-cache.
Further, fix nfs_netfs_free_request() so that it doesn't try to free the
context if the pointer is NULL.

iio: light: bh1745: fix information leak in triggered buffer
The 'scan' local struct is used to push data to user space from a
triggered buffer, but it does not set values for inactive channels, as
it only uses iio_for_each_active_channel() to assign new values.
Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing
uninitialized information to userspace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: light: vcnl4035: fix information leak in triggered buffer
The 'buffer' local array is used to push data to userspace from a
triggered buffer, but it does not set an initial value for the single
data element, which is an u16 aligned to 8 bytes. That leaves at least
4 bytes uninitialized even after writing an integer value with
regmap_read().
Initialize the array to zero before using it to avoid pushing
uninitialized information to userspace.

iio: pressure: zpa2326: fix information leak in triggered buffer
The 'sample' local struct is used to push data to user space from a
triggered buffer, but it has a hole between the temperature and the
timestamp (u32 pressure, u16 temperature, GAP, u64 timestamp).
This hole is never initialized.
Initialize the struct to zero before using it to avoid pushing

usb: gadget: f_fs: Remove WARN_ON in functionfs_bind
This commit addresses an issue related to below kernel panic where
panic_on_warn is enabled. It is caused by the unnecessary use of WARN_ON
in functionsfs_bind, which easily leads to the following scenarios.
1.adb_write in adbd 2. UDC write via configfs
================= =====================
->usb_ffs_open_thread() ->UDC write
->open_functionfs() ->configfs_write_iter()
->adb_open() ->gadget_dev_desc_UDC_store()
->adb_write() ->usb_gadget_register_driver_owner
->driver_register()
->StartMonitor() ->bus_add_driver()
->adb_read() ->gadget_bind_driver()
<times-out without BIND event> ->configfs_composite_bind()
->usb_add_function()
->open_functionfs() ->ffs_func_bind()
->adb_open() ->functionfs_bind()
<ffs->state !=FFS_ACTIVE>
The adb_open, adb_read, and adb_write operations are invoked from the
daemon, but trying to bind the function is a process that is invoked by
UDC write through configfs, which opens up the possibility of a race
condition between the two paths. In this race scenario, the kernel panic
occurs due to the WARN_ON from functionfs_bind when panic_on_warn is
enabled. This commit fixes the kernel panic by removing the unnecessary
WARN_ON.

This may happen on shared irq case. Such as two Type-C ports share one
irq. After the first port finished tcpci_register_port(), it may trigger
interrupt. However, if the interrupt comes by chance the 2nd port finishes
devm_request_threaded_irq(), the 2nd port interrupt handler will run at
first. Then the above issue happens due to tcpci is still a NULL pointer
in tcpci_irq() when dereference to regmap.
devm_request_threaded_irq()
<-- port1 irq comes
disable_irq(client->irq);
tcpci_register_port()
This will restore the logic to the state before commit (77e85107a771 "usb:
typec: tcpci: support edge irq").
However, moving tcpci_register_port() earlier creates a problem when use
edge irq because tcpci_init() will be called before
devm_request_threaded_irq(). The tcpci_init() writes the ALERT_MASK to
the hardware to tell it to start generating interrupts but we're not ready
to deal with them yet, then the ALERT events may be missed and ALERT line
will not recover to high level forever. To avoid the issue, this will also
set ALERT_MASK register after devm_request_threaded_irq() return.
