Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md/md-bitmap: fix incorrect usage for sb_index
Commit d7038f951828 ("md-bitmap: don't use ->index for pages backing the
bitmap file") removed page->index from bitmap code, but left wrong code
logic for clustered-md. current code never set slot offset for cluster
nodes, will sometimes cause crash in clustered env.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: rk3288 - Fix use after free in unprepare
The unprepare call must be carried out before the finalize call
as the latter can free the request.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/mm: Ensure input to pfn_to_kaddr() is treated as a 64-bit type
On 64-bit platforms, the pfn_to_kaddr() macro requires that the input
value is 64 bits in order to ensure that valid address bits don't get
lost when shifting that input by PAGE_SHIFT to calculate the physical
address to provide a virtual address for.
One such example is in pvalidate_pages() (used by SEV-SNP guests), where
the GFN in the struct used for page-state change requests is a 40-bit
bit-field, so attempts to pass this GFN field directly into
pfn_to_kaddr() ends up causing guest crashes when dealing with addresses
above the 1TB range due to the above.
Fix this issue with SEV-SNP guests, as well as any similar cases that
might cause issues in current/future code, by using an inline function,
instead of a macro, so that the input is implicitly cast to the
expected 64-bit input type prior to performing the shift operation.
While it might be argued that the issue is on the caller side, other
archs/macros have taken similar approaches to deal with instances like
this, such as ARM explicitly casting the input to phys_addr_t:
e48866647b48 ("ARM: 8396/1: use phys_addr_t in pfn_to_kaddr()")
A C inline function is even better though.
[ mingo: Refined the changelog some more & added __always_inline. ]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: rkisp1: Fix IRQ handling due to shared interrupts
The driver requests the interrupts as IRQF_SHARED, so the interrupt
handlers can be called at any time. If such a call happens while the ISP
is powered down, the SoC will hang as the driver tries to access the
ISP registers.
This can be reproduced even without the platform sharing the IRQ line:
Enable CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ and unload the driver, and the board will
hang.
Fix this by adding a new field, 'irqs_enabled', which is used to bail
out from the interrupt handler when the ISP is not operational.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: fix PPE hanging issue
A patch to resolve an issue was found in MediaTek's GPL-licensed SDK:
In the mtk_ppe_stop() function, the PPE scan mode is not disabled before
disabling the PPE. This can potentially lead to a hang during the process
of disabling the PPE.
Without this patch, the PPE may experience a hang during the reboot test.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: mediatek: mt7622-apmixedsys: Fix an error handling path in clk_mt8135_apmixed_probe()
'clk_data' is allocated with mtk_devm_alloc_clk_data(). So calling
mtk_free_clk_data() explicitly in the remove function would lead to a
double-free.
Remove the redundant call.
