Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hisi_acc_vfio_pci: Update migration data pointer correctly on saving/resume
When the optional PRE_COPY support was added to speed up the device
compatibility check, it failed to update the saving/resuming data
pointers based on the fd offset. This results in migration data
corruption and when the device gets started on the destination the
following error is reported in some cases,

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: Fix a kernel panic when host sends an invalid H2C PDU length
If the host sends an H2CData command with an invalid DATAL,
the kernel may crash in nvmet_tcp_build_pdu_iovec().
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
virtual address 0000000000000000
lr : nvmet_tcp_io_work+0x6ac/0x718 [nvmet_tcp]
Call trace:
process_one_work+0x174/0x3c8
worker_thread+0x2d0/0x3e8
kthread+0x104/0x110
Fix the bug by raising a fatal error if DATAL isn't coherent
with the packet size.
Also, the PDU length should never exceed the MAXH2CDATA parameter which
has been communicated to the host in nvmet_tcp_handle_icreq().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: Don't reserve 0-length IOVA region
When the bootloader/firmware doesn't setup the framebuffers, their
address and size are 0 in "iommu-addresses" property. If IOVA region is
reserved with 0 length, then it ends up corrupting the IOVA rbtree with
an entry which has pfn_hi < pfn_lo.
If we intend to use display driver in kernel without framebuffer then
it's causing the display IOMMU mappings to fail as entire valid IOVA
space is reserved when address and length are passed as 0.
An ideal solution would be firmware removing the "iommu-addresses"
property and corresponding "memory-region" if display is not present.
But the kernel should be able to handle this by checking for size of
IOVA region and skipping the IOVA reservation if size is 0. Also, add
a warning if firmware is requesting 0-length IOVA region reservation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: imx: fix tx statemachine deadlock
When using the serial port as RS485 port, the tx statemachine is used to
control the RTS pin to drive the RS485 transceiver TX_EN pin. When the
TTY port is closed in the middle of a transmission (for instance during
userland application crash), imx_uart_shutdown disables the interface
and disables the Transmission Complete interrupt. afer that,
imx_uart_stop_tx bails on an incomplete transmission, to be retriggered
by the TC interrupt. This interrupt is disabled and therefore the tx
statemachine never transitions out of SEND. The statemachine is in
deadlock now, and the TX_EN remains low, making the interface useless.
imx_uart_stop_tx now checks for incomplete transmission AND whether TC
interrupts are enabled before bailing to be retriggered. This makes sure
the state machine handling is reached, and is properly set to
WAIT_AFTER_SEND.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250: omap: Don't skip resource freeing if pm_runtime_resume_and_get() failed
Returning an error code from .remove() makes the driver core emit the
little helpful error message:
remove callback returned a non-zero value. This will be ignored.
and then remove the device anyhow. So all resources that were not freed
are leaked in this case. Skipping serial8250_unregister_port() has the
potential to keep enough of the UART around to trigger a use-after-free.
So replace the error return (and with it the little helpful error
message) by a more useful error message and continue to cleanup.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size
Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check
on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size.
If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes,
then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size,
and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size,
resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than
the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also
result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: v4l: async: Fix duplicated list deletion
The list deletion call dropped here is already called from the
helper function in the line before. Having a second list_del()
call results in either a warning (with CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST=y):
list_del corruption, c46c8198->next is LIST_POISON1 (00000100)
If CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST is disabled the operation results in a
kernel error due to NULL pointer dereference.

drm/sched: Fix bounds limiting when given a malformed entity
If we're given a malformed entity in drm_sched_entity_init()--shouldn't
happen, but we verify--with out-of-bounds priority value, we set it to an
allowed value. Fix the expression which sets this limit.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: fix check for attempt to corrupt spilled pointer
When register is spilled onto a stack as a 1/2/4-byte register, we set
slot_type[BPF_REG_SIZE - 1] (plus potentially few more below it,
depending on actual spill size). So to check if some stack slot has
spilled register we need to consult slot_type[7], not slot_type[0].
To avoid the need to remember and double-check this in the future, just
use is_spilled_reg() helper.
