Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Don't issue ATS Invalidation request when device is disconnected
For those endpoint devices connect to system via hotplug capable ports,
users could request a hot reset to the device by flapping device's link
through setting the slot's link control register, as pciehp_ist() DLLSC
interrupt sequence response, pciehp will unload the device driver and
then power it off. thus cause an IOMMU device-TLB invalidation (Intel
VT-d spec, or ATS Invalidation in PCIe spec r6.1) request for non-existence
target device to be sent and deadly loop to retry that request after ITE
fault triggered in interrupt context.
That would cause following continuous hard lockup warning and system hang

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: mt7921e: fix use-after-free in free_irq()
From commit a304e1b82808 ("[PATCH] Debug shared irqs"), there is a test
to make sure the shared irq handler should be able to handle the unexpected
event after deregistration. For this case, let's apply MT76_REMOVED flag to
indicate the device was removed and do not run into the resource access
anymore.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Fix double free in SMC transport cleanup path
When the generic SCMI code tears down a channel, it calls the chan_free
callback function, defined by each transport. Since multiple protocols
might share the same transport_info member, chan_free() might want to
clean up the same member multiple times within the given SCMI transport
implementation. In this case, it is SMC transport. This will lead to a NULL
pointer dereference at the second time:

Simply check for the struct pointer being NULL before trying to access
its members, to avoid this situation.
This was found when a transport doesn't really work (for instance no SMC
service), the probe routines then tries to clean up, and triggers a crash.

David Mosberger-Tan initial investigation [1] showed that this
use-after-free is due to netdevice unregistration during vif list
traversal. When unregistering a net device, since the needs_free_netdev has
been set to true during registration, the netdevice object is also freed,
and as a consequence, the corresponding vif object too, since it is
attached to it as private netdevice data. The next occurrence of the loop
then tries to access freed vif pointer to the list to move forward in the
list.
Fix this use-after-free thanks to two mechanisms:
- navigate in the list with list_for_each_entry_safe, which allows to
safely modify the list as we go through each element. For each element,
remove it from the list with list_del_rcu
- make sure to wait for RCU grace period end after each vif removal to make
sure it is safe to free the corresponding vif too (through
unregister_netdev)
Since we are in a RCU "modifier" path (not a "reader" path), and because
such path is expected not to be concurrent to any other modifier (we are
using the vif_mutex lock), we do not need to use RCU list API, that's why
we can benefit from list_for_each_entry_safe.

However, since the kernel is build optimized, it seems the stack is not
accurate. It appears the issue is related to wfx_set_mfp_ap(). The issue
is obvious in this function: memory allocated by ieee80211_beacon_get()
is never released. Fixing this leak makes kmemleak happy.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
aoe: fix the potential use-after-free problem in aoecmd_cfg_pkts
This patch is against CVE-2023-6270. The description of cve is:
A flaw was found in the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux
kernel. The aoecmd_cfg_pkts() function improperly updates the refcnt on
`struct net_device`, and a use-after-free can be triggered by racing
between the free on the struct and the access through the `skbtxq`
global queue. This could lead to a denial of service condition or
potential code execution.
In aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), it always calls dev_put(ifp) when skb initial
code is finished. But the net_device ifp will still be used in
later tx()->dev_queue_xmit() in kthread. Which means that the
dev_put(ifp) should NOT be called in the success path of skb
initial code in aoecmd_cfg_pkts(). Otherwise tx() may run into
use-after-free because the net_device is freed.
This patch removed the dev_put(ifp) in the success path in
aoecmd_cfg_pkts(), and added dev_put() after skb xmit in tx().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: fix deadlock between bd_link_disk_holder and partition scan
'open_mutex' of gendisk is used to protect open/close block devices. But
in bd_link_disk_holder(), it is used to protect the creation of symlink
between holding disk and slave bdev, which introduces some issues.
When bd_link_disk_holder() is called, the driver is usually in the process
of initialization/modification and may suspend submitting io. At this
time, any io hold 'open_mutex', such as scanning partitions, can cause
deadlocks. For example, in raid:
T1 T2
bdev_open_by_dev
lock open_mutex [1]
...
efi_partition
...
md_submit_bio
md_ioctl mddev_syspend
-> suspend all io
md_add_new_disk
bind_rdev_to_array
bd_link_disk_holder
try lock open_mutex [2]
md_handle_request
-> wait mddev_resume
T1 scan partition, T2 add a new device to raid. T1 waits for T2 to resume
mddev, but T2 waits for open_mutex held by T1. Deadlock occurs.
Fix it by introducing a local mutex 'blk_holder_mutex' to replace
'open_mutex'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
do_sys_name_to_handle(): use kzalloc() to fix kernel-infoleak
syzbot identified a kernel information leak vulnerability in
do_sys_name_to_handle() and issued the following report [1].

Per Chuck Lever's suggestion, use kzalloc() instead of kmalloc() to
solve the problem.
