Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In April 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix password opcode ordering for workstations
The Lenovo workstations require the password opcode to be run before
the attribute value is changed (if Admin password is enabled).
Tested on some Thinkpads to confirm they are OK with this order too.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: switchdev: Skip MDB replays of deferred events on offload
Before this change, generation of the list of MDB events to replay
would race against the creation of new group memberships, either from
the IGMP/MLD snooping logic or from user configuration.
While new memberships are immediately visible to walkers of
br->mdb_list, the notification of their existence to switchdev event
subscribers is deferred until a later point in time. So if a replay
list was generated during a time that overlapped with such a window,
it would also contain a replay of the not-yet-delivered event.
The driver would thus receive two copies of what the bridge internally
considered to be one single event. On destruction of the bridge, only
a single membership deletion event was therefore sent. As a
consequence of this, drivers which reference count memberships (at
least DSA), would be left with orphan groups in their hardware
database when the bridge was destroyed.
This is only an issue when replaying additions. While deletion events
may still be pending on the deferred queue, they will already have
been removed from br->mdb_list, so no duplicates can be generated in
that scenario.
To a user this meant that old group memberships, from a bridge in
which a port was previously attached, could be reanimated (in
hardware) when the port joined a new bridge, without the new bridge's
knowledge.
For example, on an mv88e6xxx system, create a snooping bridge and
immediately add a port to it:
root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ ip link add dev br0 up type bridge mcast_snooping 1 && \
> ip link set dev x3 up master br0
And then destroy the bridge:
root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ ip link del dev br0
root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ mvls atu
ADDRESS FID STATE Q F 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a
DEV:0 Marvell 88E6393X
33:33:00:00:00:6a 1 static - - 0 . . . . . . . . . .
33:33:ff:87:e4:3f 1 static - - 0 . . . . . . . . . .
ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 1 static - - 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 a
root@infix-06-0b-00:~$
The two IPv6 groups remain in the hardware database because the
port (x3) is notified of the host's membership twice: once via the
original event and once via a replay. Since only a single delete
notification is sent, the count remains at 1 when the bridge is
destroyed.
Then add the same port (or another port belonging to the same hardware
domain) to a new bridge, this time with snooping disabled:
root@infix-06-0b-00:~$ ip link add dev br1 up type bridge mcast_snooping 0 && \
> ip link set dev x3 up master br1
All multicast, including the two IPv6 groups from br0, should now be
flooded, according to the policy of br1. But instead the old
memberships are still active in the hardware database, causing the
switch to only forward traffic to those groups towards the CPU (port
0).
Eliminate the race in two steps:
1. Grab the write-side lock of the MDB while generating the replay
list.
This prevents new memberships from showing up while we are generating
the replay list. But it leaves the scenario in which a deferred event
was already generated, but not delivered, before we grabbed the
lock. Therefore:
2. Make sure that no deferred version of a replay event is already
enqueued to the switchdev deferred queue, before adding it to the
replay list, when replaying additions.

The issue is that a tasklet could be pending on another core racing
the delete of the irq.
Fix by insuring any scheduled tasklet is killed after deleting the
irq.

IB/hfi1: Fix a memleak in init_credit_return
When dma_alloc_coherent fails to allocate dd->cr_base[i].va,
init_credit_return should deallocate dd->cr_base and
dd->cr_base[i] that allocated before. Or those resources
would be never freed and a memleak is triggered.
