Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In March 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ip6_tunnel: fix NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT handling in ip6_tnl_parse_tlv_enc_lim()
syzbot pointed out [1] that NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT handling is broken.
Reading frag_off can only be done if we pulled enough bytes
to skb->head. Currently we might access garbage.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw88: sdio: Honor the host max_req_size in the RX path
Lukas reports skb_over_panic errors on his Banana Pi BPI-CM4 which comes
with an Amlogic A311D (G12B) SoC and a RTL8822CS SDIO wifi/Bluetooth
combo card. The error he observed is identical to what has been fixed
in commit e967229ead0e ("wifi: rtw88: sdio: Check the HISR RX_REQUEST
bit in rtw_sdio_rx_isr()") but that commit didn't fix Lukas' problem.
Lukas found that disabling or limiting RX aggregation works around the
problem for some time (but does not fully fix it). In the following
discussion a few key topics have been discussed which have an impact on
this problem:
- The Amlogic A311D (G12B) SoC has a hardware bug in the SDIO controller
which prevents DMA transfers. Instead all transfers need to go through
the controller SRAM which limits transfers to 1536 bytes
- rtw88 chips don't split incoming (RX) packets, so if a big packet is
received this is forwarded to the host in it's original form
- rtw88 chips can do RX aggregation, meaning more multiple incoming
packets can be pulled by the host from the card with one MMC/SDIO
transfer. This Depends on settings in the REG_RXDMA_AGG_PG_TH
register (BIT_RXDMA_AGG_PG_TH limits the number of packets that will
be aggregated, BIT_DMA_AGG_TO_V1 configures a timeout for aggregation
and BIT_EN_PRE_CALC makes the chip honor the limits more effectively)
Use multiple consecutive reads in rtw_sdio_read_port() and limit the
number of bytes which are copied by the host from the card in one
MMC/SDIO transfer. This allows receiving a buffer that's larger than
the hosts max_req_size (number of bytes which can be transferred in
one MMC/SDIO transfer). As a result of this the skb_over_panic error
is gone as the rtw88 driver is now able to receive more than 1536 bytes
from the card (either because the incoming packet is larger than that
or because multiple packets have been aggregated).
In case of an receive errors (-EILSEQ has been observed by Lukas) we
need to drain the remaining data from the card's buffer, otherwise the
card will return corrupt data for the next rtw_sdio_read_port() call.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: scomp - fix req->dst buffer overflow
The req->dst buffer size should be checked before copying from the
scomp_scratch->dst to avoid req->dst buffer overflow problem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/thermal/loongson2_thermal: Fix incorrect PTR_ERR() judgment
PTR_ERR() returns -ENODEV when thermal-zones are undefined, and we need
-ENODEV as the right value for comparison.
Otherwise, tz->type is NULL when thermal-zones is undefined, resulting
in the following error:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PM / devfreq: Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show
Fix buffer overflow in trans_stat_show().
Convert simple snprintf to the more secure scnprintf with size of
PAGE_SIZE.
Add condition checking if we are exceeding PAGE_SIZE and exit early from
loop. Also add at the end a warning that we exceeded PAGE_SIZE and that
stats is disabled.
Return -EFBIG in the case where we don't have enough space to write the
full transition table.
Also document in the ABI that this function can return -EFBIG error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwrng: core - Fix page fault dead lock on mmap-ed hwrng
There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path. This triggers
when the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from
/dev/hwrng. The resulting page fault triggers a recursive read
which then dead-locks.
Fix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: lib/mpi - Fix unexpected pointer access in mpi_ec_init
When the mpi_ec_ctx structure is initialized, some fields are not
cleared, causing a crash when referencing the field when the
structure was released. Initially, this issue was ignored because
memory for mpi_ec_ctx is allocated with the __GFP_ZERO flag.
For example, this error will be triggered when calculating the
Za value for SM2 separately.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix race between mmput() and do_exit()
Task A calls binder_update_page_range() to allocate and insert pages on
a remote address space from Task B. For this, Task A pins the remote mm
via mmget_not_zero() first. This can race with Task B do_exit() and the
final mmput() refcount decrement will come from Task A.
Task A | Task B
------------------+------------------
mmget_not_zero() |
| do_exit()
| exit_mm()
| mmput()
mmput() |
exit_mmap() |
remove_vma() |
fput() |
In this case, the work of ____fput() from Task B is queued up in Task A
as TWA_RESUME. So in theory, Task A returns to userspace and the cleanup
work gets executed. However, Task A instead sleep, waiting for a reply
from Task B that never comes (it's dead).
This means the binder_deferred_release() is blocked until an unrelated
binder event forces Task A to go back to userspace. All the associated
death notifications will also be delayed until then.
In order to fix this use mmput_async() that will schedule the work in
the corresponding mm->async_put_work WQ instead of Task A.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: act_ct: fix skb leak and crash on ooo frags
act_ct adds skb->users before defragmentation. If frags arrive in order,
the last frag's reference is reset in:
inet_frag_reasm_prepare
skb_morph
which is not straightforward.
However when frags arrive out of order, nobody unref the last frag, and
all frags are leaked. The situation is even worse, as initiating packet
capture can lead to a crash[0] when skb has been cloned and shared at the
same time.
Fix the issue by removing skb_get() before defragmentation. act_ct
returns TC_ACT_CONSUMED when defrag failed or in progress.
