Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In March 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm, kexec, ima: Use memblock_free_late() from ima_free_kexec_buffer()
The code calling ima_free_kexec_buffer() runs long after the memblock
allocator has already been torn down, potentially resulting in a use
after free in memblock_isolate_range().
With KASAN or KFENCE, this use after free will result in a BUG
from the idle task, and a subsequent kernel panic.
Switch ima_free_kexec_buffer() over to memblock_free_late() to avoid
that bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dccp: fix dccp_v4_err()/dccp_v6_err() again
dh->dccph_x is the 9th byte (offset 8) in "struct dccp_hdr",
not in the "byte 7" as Jann claimed.
We need to make sure the ICMP messages are big enough,
using more standard ways (no more assumptions).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/core: Fix ETH_P_1588 flow dissector
When a PTP ethernet raw frame with a size of more than 256 bytes followed
by a 0xff pattern is sent to __skb_flow_dissect, nhoff value calculation
is wrong. For example: hdr->message_length takes the wrong value (0xffff)
and it does not replicate real header length. In this case, 'nhoff' value
was overridden and the PTP header was badly dissected. This leads to a
kernel crash.
net/core: flow_dissector
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x0000000e
net/core flow dissector hdr->message_length = 0x0000ffff
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x0001000d (u16 overflow)

skb frag: 00000000: f7 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
Using the size of the ptp_header struct will allow the corrected
calculation of the nhoff value.
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x0000000e
net/core flow dissector nhoff = 0x00000030 (sizeof ptp_header)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fix memleak when more than 255 elements expired
When more than 255 elements expired we're supposed to switch to a new gc
container structure.
This never happens: u8 type will wrap before reaching the boundary
and nft_trans_gc_space() always returns true.
This means we recycle the initial gc container structure and
lose track of the elements that came before.
While at it, don't deref 'gc' after we've passed it to call_rcu.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Only call folio_start_fscache() one time for each folio
If a network filesystem using netfs implements a clamp_length()
function, it can set subrequest lengths smaller than a page size.
When we loop through the folios in netfs_rreq_unlock_folios() to
set any folios to be written back, we need to make sure we only
call folio_start_fscache() once for each folio.
Otherwise, this simple testcase:
mount -o fsc,rsize=1024,wsize=1024 127.0.0.1:/export /mnt/nfs
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/nfs/file.bin bs=4096 count=1

echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

will trigger an oops similar to the following:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: intel-ish-hid: ipc: Disable and reenable ACPI GPE bit
The EHL (Elkhart Lake) based platforms provide a OOB (Out of band)
service, which allows to wakup device when the system is in S5 (Soft-Off
state). This OOB service can be enabled/disabled from BIOS settings. When
enabled, the ISH device gets PME wake capability. To enable PME wakeup,
driver also needs to enable ACPI GPE bit.
On resume, BIOS will clear the wakeup bit. So driver need to re-enable it
in resume function to keep the next wakeup capability. But this BIOS
clearing of wakeup bit doesn't decrement internal OS GPE reference count,
so this reenabling on every resume will cause reference count to overflow.
So first disable and reenable ACPI GPE bit using acpi_disable_gpe().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix reference leak
If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference
to that attribute is returned which needs to be disposed accordingly
using kobject_put(). Move the setting name validation into a separate
function to allow for this change without having to duplicate the
cleanup code for this setting.
As a side note, a very similar bug was fixed in
commit 7295a996fdab ("platform/x86: dell-sysman: Fix reference leak"),
so it seems that the bug was copied from that driver.
Compile-tested only.

net: fix possible store tearing in neigh_periodic_work()
While looking at a related syzbot report involving neigh_periodic_work(),
I found that I forgot to add an annotation when deleting an
RCU protected item from a list.
Readers use rcu_deference(*np), we need to use either
rcu_assign_pointer() or WRITE_ONCE() on writer side
to prevent store tearing.
I use rcu_assign_pointer() to have lockdep support,
this was the choice made in neigh_flush_dev().
