Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: use OPTION_MPTCP_MPJ_SYNACK in subflow_finish_connect()
subflow_finish_connect() uses four fields (backup, join_id, thmac, none)
that may contain garbage unless OPTION_MPTCP_MPJ_SYNACK has been set
in mptcp_parse_option()

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: tls, fix WARNIING in __sk_msg_free
A splice with MSG_SPLICE_PAGES will cause tls code to use the
tls_sw_sendmsg_splice path in the TLS sendmsg code to move the user
provided pages from the msg into the msg_pl. This will loop over the
msg until msg_pl is full, checked by sk_msg_full(msg_pl). The user
can also set the MORE flag to hint stack to delay sending until receiving
more pages and ideally a full buffer.
If the user adds more pages to the msg than can fit in the msg_pl
scatterlist (MAX_MSG_FRAGS) we should ignore the MORE flag and send
the buffer anyways.
What actually happens though is we abort the msg to msg_pl scatterlist
setup and then because we forget to set 'full record' indicating we
can no longer consume data without a send we fallthrough to the 'continue'
path which will check if msg_data_left(msg) has more bytes to send and
then attempts to fit them in the already full msg_pl. Then next
iteration of sender doing send will encounter a full msg_pl and throw
the warning in the syzbot report.
To fix simply check if we have a full_record in splice code path and
if not send the msg regardless of MORE flag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: sof-common: Add NULL check for normal_link string
It's not granted that all entries of struct sof_conn_stream declare
a `normal_link` (a non-SOF, direct link) string, and this is the case
for SoCs that support only SOF paths (hence do not support both direct
and SOF usecases).
For example, in the case of MT8188 there is no normal_link string in
any of the sof_conn_stream entries and there will be more drivers
doing that in the future.
To avoid possible NULL pointer KPs, add a NULL check for `normal_link`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Use device rbtree in iopf reporting path
The existing I/O page fault handler currently locates the PCI device by
calling pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot(). This function searches the list
of all PCI devices until the desired device is found. To improve lookup
efficiency, replace it with device_rbtree_find() to search the device
within the probed device rbtree.
The I/O page fault is initiated by the device, which does not have any
synchronization mechanism with the software to ensure that the device
stays in the probed device tree. Theoretically, a device could be released
by the IOMMU subsystem after device_rbtree_find() and before
iopf_get_dev_fault_param(), which would cause a use-after-free problem.
Add a mutex to synchronize the I/O page fault reporting path and the IOMMU
release device path. This lock doesn't introduce any performance overhead,
as the conflict between I/O page fault reporting and device releasing is
very rare.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: compress: fix reserve_cblocks counting error when out of space
When a file only needs one direct_node, performing the following
operations will cause the file to be unrepairable:
unisoc # ./f2fs_io compress test.apk
unisoc #df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.2M 100% /data
unisoc # ./f2fs_io release_cblocks test.apk
924
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 4.8M 100% /data
unisoc # dd if=/dev/random of=file4 bs=1M count=3
3145728 bytes (3.0 M) copied, 0.025 s, 120 M/s
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.8M 100% /data
unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk
F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS failed: No space left on device
adb reboot
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 11M 100% /data
unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk
0
This is because the file has only one direct_node. After returning
to -ENOSPC, reserved_blocks += ret will not be executed. As a result,
the reserved_blocks at this time is still 0, which is not the real
number of reserved blocks. Therefore, fsck cannot be set to repair
the file.
After this patch, the fsck flag will be set to fix this problem.
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 1.8M 100% /data
unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk
F2FS_IOC_RESERVE_COMPRESS_BLOCKS failed: No space left on device
adb reboot then fsck will be executed
unisoc # df -h | grep dm-48
/dev/block/dm-48 112G 112G 11M 100% /data
unisoc # ./f2fs_io reserve_cblocks test.apk

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: dbg-tlv: ensure NUL termination
The iwl_fw_ini_debug_info_tlv is used as a string, so we must
ensure the string is terminated correctly before using it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: zswap: fix shrinker NULL crash with cgroup_disable=memory
Christian reports a NULL deref in zswap that he bisected down to the zswap
shrinker. The issue also cropped up in the bug trackers of libguestfs [1]
and the Red Hat bugzilla [2].
The problem is that when memcg is disabled with the boot time flag, the
zswap shrinker might get called with sc->memcg == NULL. This is okay in
many places, like the lruvec operations. But it crashes in
memcg_page_state() - which is only used due to the non-node accounting of
cgroup's the zswap memory to begin with.
Nhat spotted that the memcg can be NULL in the memcg-disabled case, and I
was then able to reproduce the crash locally as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
irqchip/gic-v3-its: Prevent double free on error
The error handling path in its_vpe_irq_domain_alloc() causes a double free
when its_vpe_init() fails after successfully allocating at least one
interrupt. This happens because its_vpe_irq_domain_free() frees the
interrupts along with the area bitmap and the vprop_page and
its_vpe_irq_domain_alloc() subsequently frees the area bitmap and the
vprop_page again.
Fix this by unconditionally invoking its_vpe_irq_domain_free() which
handles all cases correctly and by removing the bitmap/vprop_page freeing
from its_vpe_irq_domain_alloc().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eeprom: at24: fix memory corruption race condition
If the eeprom is not accessible, an nvmem device will be registered, the
read will fail, and the device will be torn down. If another driver
accesses the nvmem device after the teardown, it will reference
invalid memory.
Move the failure point before registering the nvmem device.

Bytes 40-65535 of 65536 are uninitialized
Memory access of size 65536 starts at ffff888045a40000
This happens, because we're copying a 'struct btrfs_data_container' back
to user-space. This btrfs_data_container is allocated in
'init_data_container()' via kvmalloc(), which does not zero-fill the
memory.
Fix this by using kvzalloc() which zeroes out the memory on allocation.
