Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: mcp251x: fix resume from sleep before interface was brought up
Since 8ce8c0abcba3 the driver queues work via priv->restart_work when
resuming after suspend, even when the interface was not previously
enabled. This causes a null dereference error as the workqueue is only
allocated and initialized in mcp251x_open().
To fix this we move the workqueue init to mcp251x_can_probe() as there
is no reason to do it later and repeat it whenever mcp251x_open() is
called.
[mkl: fix error handling in mcp251x_stop()]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: mcp251xfd: mcp251xfd_probe(): fix an error pointer dereference in probe
When we converted this code to use dev_err_probe() we accidentally
removed a return. It means that if devm_clk_get() it will lead to an
Oops when we call clk_get_rate() on the next line.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: xiic: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on
return in xiic_xfer and xiic_i2c_remove.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment the PM reference
count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result
in a reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: stm32f7: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on
return in these stm32f7_i2c_xx serious functions.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment the PM reference
count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result
in a reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: sprd: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on
return in sprd_i2c_master_xfer() and sprd_i2c_remove().
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment the PM reference
count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result
in a reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
In i2c_imx_xfer() and i2c_imx_remove(), the pm reference count
is not expected to be incremented on return.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment pm reference count
even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result in a
reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: imx-lpi2c: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on
return in lpi2c_imx_master_enable.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment the PM reference
count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result
in a reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: img-scb: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on
return in functions img_i2c_xfer and img_i2c_init.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment the PM reference
count even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result
in a reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
i2c: cadence: fix reference leak when pm_runtime_get_sync fails
The PM reference count is not expected to be incremented on
return in functions cdns_i2c_master_xfer and cdns_reg_slave.
However, pm_runtime_get_sync will increment pm usage counter
even failed. Forgetting to putting operation will result in a
reference leak here.
Replace it with pm_runtime_resume_and_get to keep usage
counter balanced.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: atomisp: Fix use after free in atomisp_alloc_css_stat_bufs()
The "s3a_buf" is freed along with all the other items on the
"asd->s3a_stats" list. It leads to a double free and a use after free.
