Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: greybus: uart: fix tty use after free
User space can hold a tty open indefinitely and tty drivers must not
release the underlying structures until the last user is gone.
Switch to using the tty-port reference counter to manage the life time
of the greybus tty state to avoid use after free after a disconnect.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: make sure fd closes complete
During BC_FREE_BUFFER processing, the BINDER_TYPE_FDA object
cleanup may close 1 or more fds. The close operations are
completed using the task work mechanism -- which means the thread
needs to return to userspace or the file object may never be
dereferenced -- which can lead to hung processes.
Force the binder thread back to userspace if an fd is closed during
BC_FREE_BUFFER handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mcb: fix error handling in mcb_alloc_bus()
There are two bugs:
1) If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier)
but we haven't yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that
leads to a use after free.
2) After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to
release the bus. This will free the internal resources tied to the
device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/pm: Update intermediate power state for SI
Update the current state as boot state during dpm initialization.
During the subsequent initialization, set_power_state gets called to
transition to the final power state. set_power_state refers to values
from the current state and without current state populated, it could
result in NULL pointer dereference.
For ex: on platforms where PCI speed change is supported through ACPI
ATCS method, the link speed of current state needs to be queried before
deciding on changing to final power state's link speed. The logic to query
ATCS-support was broken on certain platforms. The issue became visible
when broken ATCS-support logic got fixed with commit
f9b7f3703ff9 ("drm/amdgpu/acpi: make ATPX/ATCS structures global (v2)").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nexthop: Fix division by zero while replacing a resilient group
The resilient nexthop group torture tests in fib_nexthop.sh exposed a
possible division by zero while replacing a resilient group [1]. The
division by zero occurs when the data path sees a resilient nexthop
group with zero buckets.
The tests replace a resilient nexthop group in a loop while traffic is
forwarded through it. The tests do not specify the number of buckets
while performing the replacement, resulting in the kernel allocating a
stub resilient table (i.e, 'struct nh_res_table') with zero buckets.
This table should never be visible to the data path, but the old nexthop
group (i.e., 'oldg') might still be used by the data path when the stub
table is assigned to it.
Fix this by only assigning the stub table to the old nexthop group after
making sure the group is no longer used by the data path.
Tested with fib_nexthops.sh:
Tests passed: 222
Tests failed: 0

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: Fix memory leak in compat_insnlist()
`compat_insnlist()` handles the 32-bit version of the `COMEDI_INSNLIST`
ioctl (whenwhen `CONFIG_COMPAT` is enabled). It allocates memory to
temporarily hold an array of `struct comedi_insn` converted from the
32-bit version in user space. This memory is only being freed if there
is a fault while filling the array, otherwise it is leaked.
Add a call to `kfree()` to fix the leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix page leak
There's a loop in afs_extend_writeback() that adds extra pages to a write
we want to make to improve the efficiency of the writeback by making it
larger. This loop stops, however, if we hit a page we can't write back
from immediately, but it doesn't get rid of the page ref we speculatively
acquired.
This was caused by the removal of the cleanup loop when the code switched
from using find_get_pages_contig() to xarray scanning as the latter only
gets a single page at a time, not a batch.
Fix this by putting the page on a ref on an early break from the loop.
Unfortunately, we can't just add that page to the pagevec we're employing
as we'll go through that and add those pages to the RPC call.
This was found by the generic/074 test. It leaks ~4GiB of RAM each time it
is run - which can be observed with "top".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix corruption in reads at fpos 2G-4G from an OpenAFS server
AFS-3 has two data fetch RPC variants, FS.FetchData and FS.FetchData64, and
Linux's afs client switches between them when talking to a non-YFS server
if the read size, the file position or the sum of the two have the upper 32
bits set of the 64-bit value.
This is a problem, however, since the file position and length fields of
FS.FetchData are *signed* 32-bit values.
Fix this by capturing the capability bits obtained from the fileserver when
it's sent an FS.GetCapabilities RPC, rather than just discarding them, and
then picking out the VICED_CAPABILITY_64BITFILES flag. This can then be
used to decide whether to use FS.FetchData or FS.FetchData64 - and also
FS.StoreData or FS.StoreData64 - rather than using upper_32_bits() to
switch on the parameter values.
This capabilities flag could also be used to limit the maximum size of the
file, but all servers must be checked for that.
Note that the issue does not exist with FS.StoreData - that uses *unsigned*
32-bit values. It's also not a problem with Auristor servers as its
YFS.FetchData64 op uses unsigned 64-bit values.
This can be tested by cloning a git repo through an OpenAFS client to an
OpenAFS server and then doing "git status" on it from a Linux afs
client[1]. Provided the clone has a pack file that's in the 2G-4G range,
the git status will show errors like:
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index
This can be observed in the server's FileLog with something like the
following appearing:
Sun Aug 29 19:31:39 2021 SRXAFS_FetchData, Fid = 2303380852.491776.3263114, Host 192.168.11.201:7001, Id 1001

Note the file position of 18446744071815340032. This is the requested file
position sign-extended.
