Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: fix NULL pointer dereference
Commit 71f642833284 ("ACPI: utils: Fix reference counting in
for_each_acpi_dev_match()") started doing "acpi_dev_put()" on a pointer
that was possibly NULL. That fails miserably, because that helper
inline function is not set up to handle that case.
Just make acpi_dev_put() silently accept a NULL pointer, rather than
calling down to put_device() with an invalid offset off that NULL
pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: wcd934x: Fix shift-out-of-bounds error
bit-mask for pins 0 to 4 is BIT(0) to BIT(4) however we ended up with BIT(n - 1)
which is not right, and this was caught by below usban check
UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/gpio/gpio-wcd934x.c:34:14
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: core: Fix Null-point-dereference in fmt_single_name()
Check the return value of devm_kstrdup() in case of
Null-point-dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA: Verify port when creating flow rule
Validate port value provided by the user and with that remove no longer
needed validation by the driver. The missing check in the mlx5_ib driver
could cause to the below oops.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ipoib: Fix warning caused by destroying non-initial netns
After the commit 5ce2dced8e95 ("RDMA/ipoib: Set rtnl_link_ops for ipoib
interfaces"), if the IPoIB device is moved to non-initial netns,
destroying that netns lets the device vanish instead of moving it back to
the initial netns, This is happening because default_device_exit() skips
the interfaces due to having rtnl_link_ops set.
Steps to reporoduce:
ip netns add foo
ip link set mlx5_ib0 netns foo
ip netns delete foo

To avoid the above warning and later on the kernel panic that could happen
on shutdown due to a NULL pointer dereference, make sure to set the
netns_refund flag that was introduced by commit 3a5ca857079e ("can: dev:
Move device back to init netns on owning netns delete") to properly
restore the IPoIB interfaces to the initial netns.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: fix various gadget panics on 10gbps cabling
usb_assign_descriptors() is called with 5 parameters,
the last 4 of which are the usb_descriptor_header for:
full-speed (USB1.1 - 12Mbps [including USB1.0 low-speed @ 1.5Mbps),
high-speed (USB2.0 - 480Mbps),
super-speed (USB3.0 - 5Gbps),
super-speed-plus (USB3.1 - 10Gbps).
The differences between full/high/super-speed descriptors are usually
substantial (due to changes in the maximum usb block size from 64 to 512
to 1024 bytes and other differences in the specs), while the difference
between 5 and 10Gbps descriptors may be as little as nothing
(in many cases the same tuning is simply good enough).
However if a gadget driver calls usb_assign_descriptors() with
a NULL descriptor for super-speed-plus and is then used on a max 10gbps
configuration, the kernel will crash with a null pointer dereference,
when a 10gbps capable device port + cable + host port combination shows up.
(This wouldn't happen if the gadget max-speed was set to 5gbps, but
it of course defaults to the maximum, and there's no real reason to
artificially limit it)
The fix is to simply use the 5gbps descriptor as the 10gbps descriptor,
if a 10gbps descriptor wasn't provided.
Obviously this won't fix the problem if the 5gbps descriptor is also
NULL, but such cases can't be so trivially solved (and any such gadgets
are unlikely to be used with USB3 ports any way).
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: tcpm: cancel vdm and state machine hrtimer when unregister tcpm port
A pending hrtimer may expire after the kthread_worker of tcpm port
is destroyed, see below kernel dump when do module unload, fix it
by cancel the 2 hrtimers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: ep0: fix NULL pointer exception
There is no validation of the index from dwc3_wIndex_to_dep() and we might
be referring a non-existing ep and trigger a NULL pointer exception. In
certain configurations we might use fewer eps and the index might wrongly
indicate a larger ep index than existing.
By adding this validation from the patch we can actually report a wrong
index back to the caller.
In our usecase we are using a composite device on an older kernel, but
upstream might use this fix also. Unfortunately, I cannot describe the
hardware for others to reproduce the issue as it is a proprietary
implementation.
