Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In March 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Check rcu_read_lock_trace_held() before calling bpf map helpers
These three bpf_map_{lookup,update,delete}_elem() helpers are also
available for sleepable bpf program, so add the corresponding lock
assertion for sleepable bpf program, otherwise the following warning
will be reported when a sleepable bpf program manipulates bpf map under
interpreter mode (aka bpf_jit_enable=0):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: avoid online resizing failures due to oversized flex bg
When we online resize an ext4 filesystem with a oversized flexbg_size,
mkfs.ext4 -F -G 67108864 $dev -b 4096 100M
mount $dev $dir
resize2fs $dev 16G
the following WARN_ON is triggered:

This is because flexbg_size is too large and the size of the new_group_data
array to be allocated exceeds MAX_ORDER. Currently, the minimum value of
MAX_ORDER is 8, the minimum value of PAGE_SIZE is 4096, the corresponding
maximum number of groups that can be allocated is:
(PAGE_SIZE << MAX_ORDER) / sizeof(struct ext4_new_group_data) ≈ 21845
And the value that is down-aligned to the power of 2 is 16384. Therefore,
this value is defined as MAX_RESIZE_BG, and the number of groups added
each time does not exceed this value during resizing, and is added multiple
times to complete the online resizing. The difference is that the metadata
in a flex_bg may be more dispersed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Wake DMCUB before executing GPINT commands
[Why]
DMCUB can be in idle when we attempt to interface with the HW through
the GPINT mailbox resulting in a system hang.
[How]
Add dc_wake_and_execute_gpint() to wrap the wake, execute, sleep
sequence.
If the GPINT executes successfully then DMCUB will be put back into
sleep after the optional response is returned.
It functions similar to the inbox command interface.
A vulnerability was found in Tenda AC7 15.03.06.44. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function formSetQosBand of the file /goform/SetNetControlList. The manipulation of the argument list leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier VDB-257937 was assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Improper Preservation of Permissions vulnerability in Apache Airflow.This issue affects Apache Airflow from 2.8.2 through 2.8.3.
Airflow's local file task handler in Airflow incorrectly set permissions for all parent folders of log folder, in default configuration adding write access to Unix group of the folders. In the case Airflow is run with the root user (not recommended) it added group write permission to all folders up to the root of the filesystem.
If your log files are stored in the home directory, these permission changes might impact your ability to run SSH operations after your home directory becomes group-writeable.
This issue does not affect users who use or extend Airflow using Official Airflow Docker reference images ( https://hub.docker.com/r/apache/airflow/ ) - those images require to have group write permission set anyway.
You are affected only if you install Airflow using local installation / virtualenv or other Docker images, but the issue has no impact if docker containers are used as intended, i.e. where Airflow components do not share containers with other applications and users.
Also you should not be affected if your umask is 002 (group write enabled) - this is the default on many linux systems.
Recommendation for users using Airflow outside of the containers:
* if you are using root to run Airflow, change your Airflow user to use non-root
* upgrade Apache Airflow to 2.8.4 or above
* If you prefer not to upgrade, you can change the https://airflow.apache.org/docs/apache-airflow/stable/configurations-ref.html#file-task-handler-new-folder-permissions to 0o755 (original value 0o775).
* if you already ran Airflow tasks before and your default umask is 022 (group write disabled) you should stop Airflow components, check permissions of AIRFLOW_HOME/logs in all your components and all parent directories of this directory and remove group write access for all the parent directories
A vulnerability was found in Tenda AC7 15.03.06.44 and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function formSetDeviceName of the file /goform/SetOnlineDevName. The manipulation of the argument devName leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-257936. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Improper access control in PAM JIT elevation in Devolutions Server 2024.1.6 and earlier allows an attacker with access to the PAM JIT elevation feature to elevate themselves to unauthorized groups via a specially crafted request.
Improper access control in PAM vault permissions in Devolutions Server 2024.1.10.0 and earlier allows an authenticated user with access to the PAM to access unauthorized PAM entries via a specific set of permissions.
A memory corruption vulnerability in Rockwell Automation Arena Simulation software could potentially allow a malicious user to insert unauthorized code to the software by corrupting the memory triggering an access violation. Once inside, the threat actor can run harmful code on the system. This affects the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the product. To trigger this, the user would unwittingly need to open a malicious file shared by the threat actor.
The image upload component allows SVG files and the regular expression used to remove script tags can be bypassed by using a Cross Site Scripting payload which does not match the regular expression; one example of this is the inclusion of whitespace within the script tag. An attacker must target an authenticated user with permissions to access this feature, however once uploaded the payload is also accessible to unauthenticated users.
