Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvbdev: Fix memory leak in dvb_media_device_free()
dvb_media_device_free() is leaking memory. Free `dvbdev->adapter->conn`
before setting it to NULL, as documented in include/media/media-device.h:
"The media_entity instance itself must be freed explicitly by the driver
if required."
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm rq: fix double free of blk_mq_tag_set in dev remove after table load fails
When loading a device-mapper table for a request-based mapped device,
and the allocation/initialization of the blk_mq_tag_set for the device
fails, a following device remove will cause a double free.
E.g. (dmesg):
device-mapper: core: Cannot initialize queue for request-based dm-mq mapped device
device-mapper: ioctl: unable to set up device queue for new table.
Unable to handle kernel pointer dereference in virtual kernel address space
Failing address: 0305e098835de000 TEID: 0305e098835de803
Fault in home space mode while using kernel ASCE.

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().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Restructure trace_clock_global() to never block
It was reported that a fix to the ring buffer recursion detection would
cause a hung machine when performing suspend / resume testing. The
following backtrace was extracted from debugging that case:

? 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.

Improper input validation allows for header injection in MIME4J library when using MIME4J DOM for composing message.
This can be exploited by an attacker to add unintended headers to MIME messages.
In the module "Account Manager | Sales Representative & Dealers | CRM" (prestasalesmanager) up to 9.0 from Presta World for PrestaShop, a guest can download personal information without restriction by performing a path traversal attack.
In the module "So Flexibilite" (soflexibilite) from Common-Services for PrestaShop < 4.1.26, a guest (authenticated customer) can perform Cross Site Scripting (XSS) injection.
In the module "Import/Update Bulk Product from any Csv/Excel File Pro" (ba_importer) up to version 1.1.28 from Buy Addons for PrestaShop, a guest can perform SQL injection in affected versions.
In the module "Product Catalog (CSV, Excel) Import" (simpleimportproduct) <= 6.7.0 from MyPrestaModules for PrestaShop, a guest can upload files with extensions .php.
