Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In February 2024
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.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix NULL pointer dereference at hibernate
During hibernate sequence the source context might not have a clk_mgr.
So don't use it to look for DML2 support.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
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.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efivarfs: force RO when remounting if SetVariable is not supported
If SetVariable at runtime is not supported by the firmware we never assign
a callback for that function. At the same time mount the efivarfs as
RO so no one can call that. However, we never check the permission flags
when someone remounts the filesystem as RW. As a result this leads to a
crash looking like this:
$ mount -o remount,rw /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
$ efi-updatevar -f PK.auth PK

Fix this by adding a .reconfigure() function to the fs operations which
we can use to check the requested flags and deny anything that's not RO
if the firmware doesn't implement SetVariable at runtime.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
EDAC/thunderx: Fix possible out-of-bounds string access
Enabling -Wstringop-overflow globally exposes a warning for a common bug
in the usage of strncat():
drivers/edac/thunderx_edac.c: In function 'thunderx_ocx_com_threaded_isr':
drivers/edac/thunderx_edac.c:1136:17: error: 'strncat' specified bound 1024 equals destination size [-Werror=stringop-overflow=]
1136 | strncat(msg, other, OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
...
1145 | strncat(msg, other, OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE);
...
1150 | strncat(msg, other, OCX_MESSAGE_SIZE);
...
Apparently the author of this driver expected strncat() to behave the
way that strlcat() does, which uses the size of the destination buffer
as its third argument rather than the length of the source buffer. The
result is that there is no check on the size of the allocated buffer.
Change it to strlcat().
