Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In February 2024
The Marketing Optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 20200925. This is due to missing or incorrect nonce validation via the admin/main-settings-page.php file. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to update the plugin's settings and inject malicious JavaScript via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

The Restaurant Solutions – Checklist plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Checklist points in version 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: powermate - fix use-after-free in powermate_config_complete
syzbot has found a use-after-free bug [1] in the powermate driver. This
happens when the device is disconnected, which leads to a memory free from
the powermate_device struct. When an asynchronous control message
completes after the kfree and its callback is invoked, the lock does not
exist anymore and hence the bug.
Use usb_kill_urb() on pm->config to cancel any in-progress requests upon
device disconnection.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf/x86/lbr: Filter vsyscall addresses
We found that a panic can occur when a vsyscall is made while LBR sampling
is active. If the vsyscall is interrupted (NMI) for perf sampling, this
call sequence can occur (most recent at top):
__insn_get_emulate_prefix()
insn_get_emulate_prefix()
insn_get_prefixes()
insn_get_opcode()
decode_branch_type()
get_branch_type()
intel_pmu_lbr_filter()
intel_pmu_handle_irq()
perf_event_nmi_handler()
Within __insn_get_emulate_prefix() at frame 0, a macro is called:
peek_nbyte_next(insn_byte_t, insn, i)
Within this macro, this dereference occurs:
(insn)->next_byte
Inspecting registers at this point, the value of the next_byte field is the
address of the vsyscall made, for example the location of the vsyscall
version of gettimeofday() at 0xffffffffff600000. The access to an address
in the vsyscall region will trigger an oops due to an unhandled page fault.
To fix the bug, filtering for vsyscalls can be done when
determining the branch type. This patch will return
a "none" branch if a kernel address if found to lie in the
vsyscall region.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: hub: Guard against accesses to uninitialized BOS descriptors
Many functions in drivers/usb/core/hub.c and drivers/usb/core/hub.h
access fields inside udev->bos without checking if it was allocated and
initialized. If usb_get_bos_descriptor() fails for whatever
reason, udev->bos will be NULL and those accesses will result in a
crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: logitech-hidpp: Fix kernel crash on receiver USB disconnect
hidpp_connect_event() has *four* time-of-check vs time-of-use (TOCTOU)
races when it races with itself.
hidpp_connect_event() primarily runs from a workqueue but it also runs
on probe() and if a "device-connected" packet is received by the hw
when the thread running hidpp_connect_event() from probe() is waiting on
the hw, then a second thread running hidpp_connect_event() will be
started from the workqueue.
This opens the following races (note the below code is simplified):
1. Retrieving + printing the protocol (harmless race):
if (!hidpp->protocol_major) {
hidpp_root_get_protocol_version()
hidpp->protocol_major = response.rap.params[0];
}
We can actually see this race hit in the dmesg in the abrt output
attached to rhbz#2227968:
[ 3064.624215] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.
[ 3064.658184] logitech-hidpp-device 0003:046D:4071.0049: HID++ 4.5 device connected.
Testing with extra logging added has shown that after this the 2 threads
take turn grabbing the hw access mutex (send_mutex) so they ping-pong
through all the other TOCTOU cases managing to hit all of them:
2. Updating the name to the HIDPP name (harmless race):
if (hidpp->name == hdev->name) {
...
hidpp->name = new_name;
}
3. Initializing the power_supply class for the battery (problematic!):
hidpp_initialize_battery()
{
if (hidpp->battery.ps)
return 0;
probe_battery(); /* Blocks, threads take turns executing this */
hidpp->battery.desc.properties =
devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps =
devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,
&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
}
4. Creating delayed input_device (potentially problematic):
if (hidpp->delayed_input)
return;
hidpp->delayed_input = hidpp_allocate_input(hdev);
The really big problem here is 3. Hitting the race leads to the following
sequence:
hidpp->battery.desc.properties =
devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps =
devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,
&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
...
hidpp->battery.desc.properties =
devm_kmemdup(dev, hidpp_battery_props, cnt, GFP_KERNEL);
hidpp->battery.ps =
devm_power_supply_register(&hidpp->hid_dev->dev,
&hidpp->battery.desc, cfg);
So now we have registered 2 power supplies for the same battery,
which looks a bit weird from userspace's pov but this is not even
the really big problem.
Notice how:
1. This is all devm-maganaged
2. The hidpp->battery.desc struct is shared between the 2 power supplies
3. hidpp->battery.desc.properties points to the result from the second
devm_kmemdup()
This causes a use after free scenario on USB disconnect of the receiver:
1. The last registered power supply class device gets unregistered
2. The memory from the last devm_kmemdup() call gets freed,
hidpp->battery.desc.properties now points to freed memory
3. The first registered power supply class device gets unregistered,
this involves sending a remove uevent to userspace which invokes
power_supply_uevent() to fill the uevent data
4. power_supply_uevent() uses hidpp->battery.desc.properties which
now points to freed memory leading to backtraces like this one:
