Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't set the MFP flag for the GTK
The firmware doesn't need the MFP flag for the GTK, it can even make the
firmware crash. in case the AP is configured with: group cipher TKIP and
MFPC. We would send the GTK with cipher = TKIP and MFP which is of course
not possible.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: fix reconnection fail due to reserved tag allocation
We found a issue on production environment while using NVMe over RDMA,
admin_q reconnect failed forever while remote target and network is ok.
After dig into it, we found it may caused by a ABBA deadlock due to tag
allocation. In my case, the tag was hold by a keep alive request
waiting inside admin_q, as we quiesced admin_q while reset ctrl, so the
request maked as idle and will not process before reset success. As
fabric_q shares tagset with admin_q, while reconnect remote target, we
need a tag for connect command, but the only one reserved tag was held
by keep alive command which waiting inside admin_q. As a result, we
failed to reconnect admin_q forever. In order to fix this issue, I
think we should keep two reserved tags for admin queue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix deadlock with fiemap and extent locking
While working on the patchset to remove extent locking I got a lockdep
splat with fiemap and pagefaulting with my new extent lock replacement
lock.
This deadlock exists with our normal code, we just don't have lockdep
annotations with the extent locking so we've never noticed it.
Since we're copying the fiemap extent to user space on every iteration
we have the chance of pagefaulting. Because we hold the extent lock for
the entire range we could mkwrite into a range in the file that we have
mmap'ed. This would deadlock with the following stack trace
[<0>] lock_extent+0x28d/0x2f0

[<0>] do_syscall_64+0x94/0x1a0
[<0>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x6e/0x76
I wrote an fstest to reproduce this deadlock without my replacement lock
and verified that the deadlock exists with our existing locking.
To fix this simply don't take the extent lock for the entire duration of
the fiemap. This is safe in general because we keep track of where we
are when we're searching the tree, so if an ordered extent updates in
the middle of our fiemap call we'll still emit the correct extents
because we know what offset we were on before.
The only place we maintain the lock is searching delalloc. Since the
delalloc stuff can change during writeback we want to lock the extent
range so we have a consistent view of delalloc at the time we're
checking to see if we need to set the delalloc flag.
With this patch applied we no longer deadlock with my testcase.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: fix stale locked mutex in nouveau_gem_ioctl_pushbuf
If VM_BIND is enabled on the client the legacy submission ioctl can't be
used, however if a client tries to do so regardless it will return an
error. In this case the clients mutex remained unlocked leading to a
deadlock inside nouveau_drm_postclose or any other nouveau ioctl call.

Commit d7038f951828 ("md-bitmap: don't use ->index for pages backing the

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: check/clear fast rx for non-4addr sta VLAN changes
When moving a station out of a VLAN and deleting the VLAN afterwards, the
fast_rx entry still holds a pointer to the VLAN's netdev, which can cause
use-after-free bugs. Fix this by immediately calling ieee80211_check_fast_rx
after the VLAN change.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: typec: altmodes/displayport: create sysfs nodes as driver's default device attribute group
The DisplayPort driver's sysfs nodes may be present to the userspace before
typec_altmode_set_drvdata() completes in dp_altmode_probe. This means that
a sysfs read can trigger a NULL pointer error by deferencing dp->hpd in
hpd_show or dp->lock in pin_assignment_show, as dev_get_drvdata() returns
NULL in those cases.
Remove manual sysfs node creation in favor of adding attribute group as
default for devices bound to the driver. The ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro is
not used here otherwise the path to the sysfs nodes is no longer compliant
with the ABI.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: SVM: Flush pages under kvm->lock to fix UAF in svm_register_enc_region()
Do the cache flush of converted pages in svm_register_enc_region() before
dropping kvm->lock to fix use-after-free issues where region and/or its
array of pages could be freed by a different task, e.g. if userspace has
__unregister_enc_region_locked() already queued up for the region.
Note, the "obvious" alternative of using local variables doesn't fully
resolve the bug, as region->pages is also dynamically allocated. I.e. the
region structure itself would be fine, but region->pages could be freed.
Flushing multiple pages under kvm->lock is unfortunate, but the entire
flow is a rare slow path, and the manual flush is only needed on CPUs that
lack coherency for encrypted memory.
