Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: Fix release of pinned pages when __io_uaddr_map fails
Looking at the error path of __io_uaddr_map, if we fail after pinning
the pages for any reasons, ret will be set to -EINVAL and the error
handler won't properly release the pinned pages.
I didn't manage to trigger it without forcing a failure, but it can
happen in real life when memory is heavily fragmented.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bcachefs: kvfree bch_fs::snapshots in bch2_fs_snapshots_exit
bch_fs::snapshots is allocated by kvzalloc in __snapshot_t_mut.
It should be freed by kvfree not kfree.
Or umount will triger:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: fsl-qdma: Fix a memory leak related to the queue command DMA
This dma_alloc_coherent() is undone neither in the remove function, nor in
the error handling path of fsl_qdma_probe().
Switch to the managed version to fix both issues.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Fix regulators getting en-/dis-abled twice on suspend/resume
When not configured for wakeup lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() will call
lis3lv02d_poweroff() even if the device has already been turned off
by the runtime-suspend handler and if configured for wakeup and
the device is runtime-suspended at this point then it is not turned
back on to serve as a wakeup source.
Before commit b1b9f7a49440 ("misc: lis3lv02d_i2c: Add missing setting
of the reg_ctrl callback"), lis3lv02d_poweroff() failed to disable
the regulators which as a side effect made calling poweroff() twice ok.
Now that poweroff() correctly disables the regulators, doing this twice
triggers a WARN() in the regulator core:
unbalanced disables for regulator-dummy
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 92 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2999 _regulator_disable
...
Fix lis3lv02d_i2c_suspend() to not call poweroff() a second time if
already runtime-suspended and add a poweron() call when necessary to
make wakeup work.
lis3lv02d_i2c_resume() has similar issues, with an added weirness that
it always powers on the device if it is runtime suspended, after which
the first runtime-resume will call poweron() again, causing the enabled
count for the regulator to increase by 1 every suspend/resume. These
unbalanced regulator_enable() calls cause the regulator to never
be turned off and trigger the following WARN() on driver unbind:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1724 at drivers/regulator/core.c:2396 _regulator_put
Fix this by making lis3lv02d_i2c_resume() mirror the new suspend().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: ncm: Fix handling of zero block length packets
While connecting to a Linux host with CDC_NCM_NTB_DEF_SIZE_TX
set to 65536, it has been observed that we receive short packets,
which come at interval of 5-10 seconds sometimes and have block
length zero but still contain 1-2 valid datagrams present.
According to the NCM spec:
"If wBlockLength = 0x0000, the block is terminated by a
short packet. In this case, the USB transfer must still
be shorter than dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize. If
exactly dwNtbInMaxSize or dwNtbOutMaxSize bytes are sent,
and the size is a multiple of wMaxPacketSize for the
given pipe, then no ZLP shall be sent.
wBlockLength= 0x0000 must be used with extreme care, because
of the possibility that the host and device may get out of
sync, and because of test issues.
wBlockLength = 0x0000 allows the sender to reduce latency by
starting to send a very large NTB, and then shortening it when
the sender discovers that there’s not sufficient data to justify
sending a large NTB"
However, there is a potential issue with the current implementation,
as it checks for the occurrence of multiple NTBs in a single
giveback by verifying if the leftover bytes to be processed is zero
or not. If the block length reads zero, we would process the same
NTB infintely because the leftover bytes is never zero and it leads
to a crash. Fix this by bailing out if block length reads zero.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
block: Fix page refcounts for unaligned buffers in __bio_release_pages()
Fix an incorrect number of pages being released for buffers that do not
start at the beginning of a page.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring/net: fix overflow check in io_recvmsg_mshot_prep()
The "controllen" variable is type size_t (unsigned long). Casting it
to int could lead to an integer underflow.
The check_add_overflow() function considers the type of the destination
which is type int. If we add two positive values and the result cannot
fit in an integer then that's counted as an overflow.
However, if we cast "controllen" to an int and it turns negative, then
negative values *can* fit into an int type so there is no overflow.
Good: 100 + (unsigned long)-4 = 96 <-- overflow
Bad: 100 + (int)-4 = 96 <-- no overflow
I deleted the cast of the sizeof() as well. That's not a bug but the
cast is unnecessary.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: libertas: fix some memleaks in lbs_allocate_cmd_buffer()
In the for statement of lbs_allocate_cmd_buffer(), if the allocation of
cmdarray[i].cmdbuf fails, both cmdarray and cmdarray[i].cmdbuf needs to
be freed. Otherwise, there will be memleaks in lbs_allocate_cmd_buffer().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ubifs: Set page uptodate in the correct place
Page cache reads are lockless, so setting the freshly allocated page
uptodate before we've overwritten it with the data it's supposed to have
in it will allow a simultaneous reader to see old data. Move the call
to SetPageUptodate into ubifs_write_end(), which is after we copied the
new data into the page.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: udc: remove warning when queue disabled ep
It is possible trigger below warning message from mass storage function,
WARNING: CPU: 6 PID: 3839 at drivers/usb/gadget/udc/core.c:294 usb_ep_queue+0x7c/0x104
pc : usb_ep_queue+0x7c/0x104
lr : fsg_main_thread+0x494/0x1b3c
Root cause is mass storage function try to queue request from main thread,
but other thread may already disable ep when function disable.
As there is no function failure in the driver, in order to avoid effort
to fix warning, change WARN_ON_ONCE() in usb_ep_queue() to pr_debug().
