Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix race between transaction aborts and fsyncs leading to use-after-free
There is a race between a task aborting a transaction during a commit,
a task doing an fsync and the transaction kthread, which leads to an
use-after-free of the log root tree. When this happens, it results in a
stack trace like the following:
BTRFS info (device dm-0): forced readonly
BTRFS warning (device dm-0): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.
BTRFS: error (device dm-0) in cleanup_transaction:1958: errno=-5 IO failure
BTRFS warning (device dm-0): lost page write due to IO error on /dev/mapper/error-test (-5)
BTRFS warning (device dm-0): Skipping commit of aborted transaction.

BTRFS warning (device dm-0): direct IO failed ino 261 rw 0,0 sector 0x12e010 len 4096 err no 10

The steps that lead to this crash are the following:
1) We are at transaction N;
2) We have two tasks with a transaction handle attached to transaction N.
Task A and Task B. Task B is doing an fsync;
3) Task B is at btrfs_sync_log(), and has saved fs_info->log_root_tree
into a local variable named 'log_root_tree' at the top of
btrfs_sync_log(). Task B is about to call write_all_supers(), but
before that...
4) Task A calls btrfs_commit_transaction(), and after it sets the
transaction state to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START, an error happens before
it w

which is cause by a 'BUG_ON(in_nmi())' in nmi_enter().
From the call trace, we can find three interrupts (noted A, B, C above):
interrupt (A) is preempted by (B), which is further interrupted by (C).
Subsequent investigations show that (B) results in nmi_enter() being
called, but that it actually is a spurious interrupt. Furthermore,
interrupts are reenabled in the context of (B), and (C) fires with
NMI priority. We end-up with a nested NMI situation, something
we definitely do not want to (and cannot) handle.
The bug here is that spurious interrupts should never result in any
state change, and we should just return to the interrupted context.
Moving the handling of spurious interrupts as early as possible in
the GICv3 handler fixes this issue.

mmc: uniphier-sd: Fix a resource leak in the remove function
A 'tmio_mmc_host_free()' call is missing in the remove function, in order
to balance a 'tmio_mmc_host_alloc()' call in the probe.
This is done in the error handling path of the probe, but not in the remove
function.
Add the missing call.

thermal/drivers/cpufreq_cooling: Fix slab OOB issue
Slab OOB issue is scanned by KASAN in cpu_power_to_freq().
If power is limited below the power of OPP0 in EM table,
it will cause slab out-of-bound issue with negative array
index.
Return the lowest frequency if limited power cannot found
a suitable OPP in EM table to fix this issue.

When loading a device-mapper table for a request-based mapped device,

E.g. (dmesg):

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops
When allocation/initialization of the blk_mq_tag_set fails in
dm_mq_init_request_queue(), it is uninitialized/freed, but the pointer
is not reset to NULL; so when dev_remove() later gets into
dm_mq_cleanup_mapped_device() it sees the pointer and tries to
uninitialize and free it again.
Fix this by setting the pointer to NULL in dm_mq_init_request_queue()
error-handling. Also set it to NULL in dm_mq_cleanup_mapped_device().

? dpm_run_callback+0x49/0xc0
With the following RIP:
RIP: 0010:native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath+0x69/0x200
Since the fix to the recursion detection would allow a single recursion to
happen while tracing, this lead to the trace_clock_global() taking a spin
lock and then trying to take it again:
ring_buffer_lock_reserve() {
trace_clock_global() {
arch_spin_lock() {
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() {
/* lock taken */
(something else gets traced by function graph tracer)
ring_buffer_lock_reserve() {
trace_clock_global() {
arch_spin_lock() {
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() {
/* DEAD LOCK! */
Tracing should *never* block, as it can lead to strange lockups like the
above.
Restructure the trace_clock_global() code to instead of simply taking a
lock to update the recorded "prev_time" simply use it, as two events
happening on two different CPUs that calls this at the same time, really
doesn't matter which one goes first. Use a trylock to grab the lock for
updating the prev_time, and if it fails, simply try again the next time.
If it failed to be taken, that means something else is already updating
it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tools/power turbostat: Fix offset overflow issue in index converting
The idx_to_offset() function returns type int (32-bit signed), but
MSR_PKG_ENERGY_STAT is u32 and would be interpreted as a negative number.
The end result is that it hits the if (offset < 0) check in update_msr_sum()
which prevents the timer callback from updating the stat in the background when
long durations are used. The similar issue exists in offset_to_idx() and
update_msr_sum(). Fix this issue by converting the 'int' to 'off_t' accordingly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: core: Do core softreset when switch mode
According to the programming guide, to switch mode for DRD controller,
the driver needs to do the following.
To switch from device to host:
1. Reset controller with GCTL.CoreSoftReset
2. Set GCTL.PrtCapDir(host mode)
3. Reset the host with USBCMD.HCRESET
4. Then follow up with the initializing host registers sequence
To switch from host to device:
1. Reset controller with GCTL.CoreSoftReset
2. Set GCTL.PrtCapDir(device mode)
3. Reset the device with DCTL.CSftRst
4. Then follow up with the initializing registers sequence
Currently we're missing step 1) to do GCTL.CoreSoftReset and step 3) of
switching from host to device. John Stult reported a lockup issue seen
with HiKey960 platform without these steps[1]. Similar issue is observed
with Ferry's testing platform[2].
So, apply the required steps along with some fixes to Yu Chen's and John
Stultz's version. The main fixes to their versions are the missing wait
for clocks synchronization before clearing GCTL.CoreSoftReset and only
apply DCTL.CSftRst when switching from host to device.
