Security Vulnerabilities

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vt: fix unicode buffer corruption when deleting characters
This is the same issue that was fixed for the VGA text buffer in commit
39cdb68c64d8 ("vt: fix memory overlapping when deleting chars in the
buffer"). The cure is also the same i.e. replace memcpy() with memmove()
due to the overlaping buffers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix use-after-free bug in brcmf_cfg80211_detach
This is the candidate patch of CVE-2023-47233 :
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-47233
In brcm80211 driver,it starts with the following invoking chain
to start init a timeout worker:
->brcmf_usb_probe
->brcmf_usb_probe_cb
->brcmf_attach
->brcmf_bus_started
->brcmf_cfg80211_attach
->wl_init_priv
->brcmf_init_escan
->INIT_WORK(&cfg->escan_timeout_work,
brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker);
If we disconnect the USB by hotplug, it will call
brcmf_usb_disconnect to make cleanup. The invoking chain is :
brcmf_usb_disconnect
->brcmf_usb_disconnect_cb
->brcmf_detach
->brcmf_cfg80211_detach
->kfree(cfg);
While the timeout woker may still be running. This will cause
a use-after-free bug on cfg in brcmf_cfg80211_escan_timeout_worker.
Fix it by deleting the timer and canceling the worker in
brcmf_cfg80211_detach.
[arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com: keep timer delete as is and cancel work just before free]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
soc: fsl: qbman: Always disable interrupts when taking cgr_lock
smp_call_function_single disables IRQs when executing the callback. To
prevent deadlocks, we must disable IRQs when taking cgr_lock elsewhere.
This is already done by qman_update_cgr and qman_delete_cgr; fix the
other lockers.
An arbitrary file upload vulnerability in the component /include/file.php of lylme_spage v1.9.5 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted file.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix deadlock while reading mqd from debugfs
An errant disk backup on my desktop got into debugfs and triggered the
following deadlock scenario in the amdgpu debugfs files. The machine
also hard-resets immediately after those lines are printed (although I
wasn't able to reproduce that part when reading by hand):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: fix a potential double-free in fs_any_create_groups
When kcalloc() for ft->g succeeds but kvzalloc() for in fails,
fs_any_create_groups() will free ft->g. However, its caller
fs_any_create_table() will free ft->g again through calling
mlx5e_destroy_flow_table(), which will lead to a double-free.
Fix this by setting ft->g to NULL in fs_any_create_groups().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: fix a memleak in vmw_gmrid_man_get_node
When ida_alloc_max fails, resources allocated before should be freed,
including *res allocated by kmalloc and ttm_resource_init.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: SOF: amd: Fix memory leak in amd_sof_acp_probe()
Driver uses kasprintf() to initialize fw_{code,data}_bin members of
struct acp_dev_data, but kfree() is never called to deallocate the
memory, which results in a memory leak.
Fix the issue by switching to devm_kasprintf(). Additionally, ensure the
allocation was successful by checking the pointer validity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: atlantic: eliminate double free in error handling logic
Driver has a logic leak in ring data allocation/free,
where aq_ring_free could be called multiple times on same ring,
if system is under stress and got memory allocation error.
Ring pointer was used as an indicator of failure, but this is
not correct since only ring data is allocated/deallocated.
Ring itself is an array member.
Changing ring allocation functions to return error code directly.
This simplifies error handling and eliminates aq_ring_free
on higher layer.
A vulnerability was found in SourceCodester Online Birth Certificate Management System 1.0. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /admin. The manipulation leads to files or directories accessible. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. VDB-264742 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability.
