Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In March 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: huge_memory: don't force huge page alignment on 32 bit
commit efa7df3e3bb5 ("mm: align larger anonymous mappings on THP
boundaries") caused two issues [1] [2] reported on 32 bit system or compat
userspace.
It doesn't make too much sense to force huge page alignment on 32 bit
system due to the constrained virtual address space.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential use after free in nilfs_gccache_submit_read_data()
In nilfs_gccache_submit_read_data(), brelse(bh) is called to drop the
reference count of bh when the call to nilfs_dat_translate() fails. If
the reference count hits 0 and its owner page gets unlocked, bh may be
freed. However, bh->b_page is dereferenced to put the page after that,
which may result in a use-after-free bug. This patch moves the release
operation after unlocking and putting the page.
NOTE: The function in question is only called in GC, and in combination
with current userland tools, address translation using DAT does not occur
in that function, so the code path that causes this issue will not be
executed. However, it is possible to run that code path by intentionally
modifying the userland GC library or by calling the GC ioctl directly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: 8250_port: Check IRQ data before use
In case the leaf driver wants to use IRQ polling (irq = 0) and
IIR register shows that an interrupt happened in the 8250 hardware
the IRQ data can be NULL. In such a case we need to skip the wake
event as we came to this path from the timer interrupt and quite
likely system is already awake.
Without this fix we have got an Oops:
serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 0, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/sgx: Resolves SECS reclaim vs. page fault for EAUG race
The SGX EPC reclaimer (ksgxd) may reclaim the SECS EPC page for an
enclave and set secs.epc_page to NULL. The SECS page is used for EAUG
and ELDU in the SGX page fault handler. However, the NULL check for
secs.epc_page is only done for ELDU, not EAUG before being used.
Fix this by doing the same NULL check and reloading of the SECS page as
needed for both EAUG and ELDU.
The SECS page holds global enclave metadata. It can only be reclaimed
when there are no other enclave pages remaining. At that point,
virtually nothing can be done with the enclave until the SECS page is
paged back in.
An enclave can not run nor generate page faults without a resident SECS
page. But it is still possible for a #PF for a non-SECS page to race
with paging out the SECS page: when the last resident non-SECS page A
triggers a #PF in a non-resident page B, and then page A and the SECS
both are paged out before the #PF on B is handled.
Hitting this bug requires that race triggered with a #PF for EAUG.
Following is a trace when it happens.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: remove BUG() after failure to insert delayed dir index item
Instead of calling BUG() when we fail to insert a delayed dir index item
into the delayed node's tree, we can just release all the resources we
have allocated/acquired before and return the error to the caller. This is
fine because all existing call chains undo anything they have done before
calling btrfs_insert_delayed_dir_index() or BUG_ON (when creating pending
snapshots in the transaction commit path).
So remove the BUG() call and do proper error handling.
This relates to a syzbot report linked below, but does not fix it because
it only prevents hitting a BUG(), it does not fix the issue where somehow
we attempt to use twice the same index number for different index items.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfio/mdev: Fix a null-ptr-deref bug for mdev_unregister_parent()
Inject fault while probing mdpy.ko, if kstrdup() of create_dir() fails in
kobject_add_internal() in kobject_init_and_add() in mdev_type_add()
in parent_create_sysfs_files(), it will return 0 and probe successfully.
And when rmmod mdpy.ko, the mdpy_dev_exit() will call
mdev_unregister_parent(), the mdev_type_remove() may traverse uninitialized
parent->types[i] in parent_remove_sysfs_files(), and it will cause
below null-ptr-deref.
If mdev_type_add() fails, return the error code and kset_unregister()
to fix the issue.

5. Handle and release the negotiate response;
6. UAF.
It can be easily reproduce with add some delay in [3] - [6].
Only sync call has the problem since async call's callback is
executed in cifsd process.
Add an extra state to mark the mid state to READY before wakeup the
waitter, then it can get the resp safely.

When enslave a vlan device to team device and team device type is changed
from non-ether to ether, header_ops of team device is changed to
vlan_header_ops. That is incorrect and will trigger null-ptr-deref
for vlan->real_dev in vlan_dev_hard_header() because team device is not

Cache eth_header_ops in team_setup(), then assign cached header_ops to
header_ops of team net device when its type is changed from non-ether
to ether to fix the bug.
