Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ath10k: Fix a use after free in ath10k_htc_send_bundle
In ath10k_htc_send_bundle, the bundle_skb could be freed by
dev_kfree_skb_any(bundle_skb). But the bundle_skb is used later
by bundle_skb->len.
As skb_len = bundle_skb->len, my patch replaces bundle_skb->len to
skb_len after the bundle_skb was freed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: aspeed: fix clock handling logic
Video engine uses eclk and vclk for its clock sources and its reset
control is coupled with eclk so the current clock enabling sequence works
like below.
Enable eclk
De-assert Video Engine reset
10ms delay
Enable vclk
It introduces improper reset on the Video Engine hardware and eventually
the hardware generates unexpected DMA memory transfers that can corrupt
memory region in random and sporadic patterns. This issue is observed
very rarely on some specific AST2500 SoCs but it causes a critical
kernel panic with making a various shape of signature so it's extremely
hard to debug. Moreover, the issue is observed even when the video
engine is not actively used because udevd turns on the video engine
hardware for a short time to make a query in every boot.
To fix this issue, this commit changes the clock handling logic to make
the reset de-assertion triggered after enabling both eclk and vclk. Also,
it adds clk_unprepare call for a case when probe fails.
clk: ast2600: fix reset settings for eclk and vclk
Video engine reset setting should be coupled with eclk to match it
with the setting for previous Aspeed SoCs which is defined in
clk-aspeed.c since all Aspeed SoCs are sharing a single video engine
driver. Also, reset bit 6 is defined as 'Video Engine' reset in
datasheet so it should be de-asserted when eclk is enabled. This
commit fixes the setting.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915: Fix crash in auto_retire
The retire logic uses the 2 lower bits of the pointer to the retire
function to store flags. However, the auto_retire function is not
guaranteed to be aligned to a multiple of 4, which causes crashes as
we jump to the wrong address, for example like this:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: VMX: Disable preemption when probing user return MSRs
Disable preemption when probing a user return MSR via RDSMR/WRMSR. If
the MSR holds a different value per logical CPU, the WRMSR could corrupt
the host's value if KVM is preempted between the RDMSR and WRMSR, and
then rescheduled on a different CPU.
Opportunistically land the helper in common x86, SVM will use the helper
in a future commit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: nVMX: Always make an attempt to map eVMCS after migration
When enlightened VMCS is in use and nested state is migrated with
vmx_get_nested_state()/vmx_set_nested_state() KVM can't map evmcs
page right away: evmcs gpa is not 'struct kvm_vmx_nested_state_hdr'
and we can't read it from VP assist page because userspace may decide
to restore HV_X64_MSR_VP_ASSIST_PAGE after restoring nested state
(and QEMU, for example, does exactly that). To make sure eVMCS is
mapped /vmx_set_nested_state() raises KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES
request.
Commit f2c7ef3ba955 ("KVM: nSVM: cancel KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES
on nested vmexit") added KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES clearing to
nested_vmx_vmexit() to make sure MSR permission bitmap is not switched
when an immediate exit from L2 to L1 happens right after migration (caused
by a pending event, for example). Unfortunately, in the exact same
situation we still need to have eVMCS mapped so
nested_sync_vmcs12_to_shadow() reflects changes in VMCS12 to eVMCS.
As a band-aid, restore nested_get_evmcs_page() when clearing
KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES in nested_vmx_vmexit(). The 'fix' is far
from being ideal as we can't easily propagate possible failures and even if
we could, this is most likely already too late to do so. The whole
'KVM_REQ_GET_NESTED_STATE_PAGES' idea for mapping eVMCS after migration
seems to be fragile as we diverge too much from the 'native' path when
vmptr loading happens on vmx_set_nested_state().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: core: fix ioctl handlers removal
Currently ioctl handlers are removed twice. For the first time during
iio_device_unregister() then later on inside
iio_device_unregister_eventset() and iio_buffers_free_sysfs_and_mask().
Double free leads to kernel panic.
Fix this by not touching ioctl handlers list directly but rather
letting code responsible for registration call the matching cleanup
routine itself.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: ucsi: Retrieve all the PDOs instead of just the first 4
commit 4dbc6a4ef06d ("usb: typec: ucsi: save power data objects
in PD mode") introduced retrieval of the PDOs when connected to a
PD-capable source. But only the first 4 PDOs are received since
that is the maximum number that can be fetched at a time given the
MESSAGE_IN length limitation (16 bytes). However, as per the PD spec
a connected source may advertise up to a maximum of 7 PDOs.
If such a source is connected it's possible the PPM could have
negotiated a power contract with one of the PDOs at index greater
than 4, and would be reflected in the request data object's (RDO)
object position field. This would result in an out-of-bounds access
when the rdo_index() is used to index into the src_pdos array in
ucsi_psy_get_voltage_now().
With the help of the UBSAN -fsanitize=array-bounds checker enabled
this exact issue is revealed when connecting to a PD source adapter
that advertise 5 PDOs and the PPM enters a contract having selected
the 5th one.

We can resolve this by instead retrieving and storing up to the

two calls to the GET_PDOS command.
