Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix a possible memleak in tipc_buf_append
__skb_linearize() doesn't free the skb when it fails, so move
'*buf = NULL' after __skb_linearize(), so that the skb can be
freed on the err path.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda: intel-sdw-acpi: fix usage of device_get_named_child_node()
The documentation for device_get_named_child_node() mentions this
important point:
"
The caller is responsible for calling fwnode_handle_put() on the
returned fwnode pointer.
"
Add fwnode_handle_put() to avoid a leaked reference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/debugfs: Free all thermal zone debug memory on zone removal
Because thermal_debug_tz_remove() does not free all memory allocated for
thermal zone diagnostics, some of that memory becomes unreachable after
freeing the thermal zone's struct thermal_debugfs object.
Address this by making thermal_debug_tz_remove() free all of the memory
in question.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
octeontx2-af: avoid off-by-one read from userspace
We try to access count + 1 byte from userspace with memdup_user(buffer,
count + 1). However, the userspace only provides buffer of count bytes and
only these count bytes are verified to be okay to access. To ensure the
copied buffer is NUL terminated, we use memdup_user_nul instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Fix nfsd4_encode_fattr4() crasher
Ensure that args.acl is initialized early. It is used in an
unconditional call to kfree() on the way out of
nfsd4_encode_fattr4().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: devicetree: fix refcount leak in pinctrl_dt_to_map()
If we fail to allocate propname buffer, we need to drop the reference
count we just took. Because the pinctrl_dt_free_maps() includes the
droping operation, here we call it directly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable()
The "pctldev" struct is allocated in devm_pinctrl_register_and_init().
It's a devm_ managed pointer that is freed by devm_pinctrl_dev_release(),
so freeing it in pinctrl_enable() will lead to a double free.
The devm_pinctrl_dev_release() function frees the pindescs and destroys
the mutex as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/proc/task_mmu: fix loss of young/dirty bits during pagemap scan
make_uffd_wp_pte() was previously doing:
pte = ptep_get(ptep);
ptep_modify_prot_start(ptep);
pte = pte_mkuffd_wp(pte);
ptep_modify_prot_commit(ptep, pte);
But if another thread accessed or dirtied the pte between the first 2
calls, this could lead to loss of that information. Since
ptep_modify_prot_start() gets and clears atomically, the following is the
correct pattern and prevents any possible race. Any access after the
first call would see an invalid pte and cause a fault:
pte = ptep_modify_prot_start(ptep);
pte = pte_mkuffd_wp(pte);
ptep_modify_prot_commit(ptep, pte);

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Reapply "drm/qxl: simplify qxl_fence_wait"
This reverts commit 07ed11afb68d94eadd4ffc082b97c2331307c5ea.
Stephen Rostedt reports:
"I went to run my tests on my VMs and the tests hung on boot up.
Unfortunately, the most I ever got out was:
[ 93.607888] Testing event system initcall: OK
[ 93.667730] Running tests on all trace events:
[ 93.669757] Testing all events: OK
[ 95.631064] ------------[ cut here ]------------
Timed out after 60 seconds"
and further debugging points to a possible circular locking dependency
between the console_owner locking and the worker pool locking.
Reverting the commit allows Steve's VM to boot to completion again.
[ This may obviously result in the "[TTM] Buffer eviction failed"
messages again, which was the reason for that original revert. But at
this point this seems preferable to a non-booting system... ]
