Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: kms: Add missing drm_crtc_commit_put
Commit 9ec03d7f1ed3 ("drm/vc4: kms: Wait on previous FIFO users before a
commit") introduced a global state for the HVS, with each FIFO storing
the current CRTC commit so that we can properly synchronize commits.
However, the refcounting was off and we thus ended up leaking the
drm_crtc_commit structure every commit. Add a drm_crtc_commit_put to
prevent the leakage.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: liteuart: fix use-after-free and memleak on unbind
Deregister the port when unbinding the driver to prevent it from being
used after releasing the driver data and leaking memory allocated by
serial core.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: liteuart: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ->remove()
drvdata has to be set in _probe() - otherwise platform_get_drvdata()
causes null pointer dereference BUG in _remove().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: core: fix transmit-buffer reset and memleak
Commit 761ed4a94582 ("tty: serial_core: convert uart_close to use
tty_port_close") converted serial core to use tty_port_close() but
failed to notice that the transmit buffer still needs to be freed on
final close.
Not freeing the transmit buffer means that the buffer is no longer
cleared on next open so that any ioctl() waiting for the buffer to drain
might wait indefinitely (e.g. on termios changes) or that stale data can
end up being transmitted in case tx is restarted.
Furthermore, the buffer of any port that has been opened would leak on
driver unbind.
Note that the port lock is held when clearing the buffer pointer due to
the ldisc race worked around by commit a5ba1d95e46e ("uart: fix race
between uart_put_char() and uart_shutdown()").
Also note that the tty-port shutdown() callback is not called for
console ports so it is not strictly necessary to free the buffer page
after releasing the lock (cf. d72402145ace ("tty/serial: do not free
trasnmit buffer page under port lock")).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: cdnsp: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in cdnsp_endpoint_init()
In cdnsp_endpoint_init(), cdnsp_ring_alloc() is assigned to pep->ring
and there is a dereference of it in cdnsp_endpoint_init(), which could
lead to a NULL pointer dereference on failure of cdnsp_ring_alloc().
Fix this bug by adding a check of pep->ring.
This bug was found by a static analyzer. The analysis employs
differential checking to identify inconsistent security operations
(e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths and confirms that the
inconsistent operations are not recovered in the current function or
the callers, so they constitute bugs.
Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.
Builds with CONFIG_USB_CDNSP_GADGET=y show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iwlwifi: Fix memory leaks in error handling path
Should an error occur (invalid TLV len or memory allocation failure), the
memory already allocated in 'reduce_power_data' should be freed before
returning, otherwise it is leaking.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: pch_can: pch_can_rx_normal: fix use after free
After calling netif_receive_skb(skb), dereferencing skb is unsafe.
Especially, the can_frame cf which aliases skb memory is dereferenced
just after the call netif_receive_skb(skb).
Reordering the lines solves the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: sja1000: fix use after free in ems_pcmcia_add_card()
If the last channel is not available then "dev" is freed. Fortunately,
we can just use "pdev->irq" instead.
Also we should check if at least one channel was set up.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: bigbenff: prevent null pointer dereference
When emulating the device through uhid, there is a chance we don't have
output reports and so report_field is null.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/hfi1: Fix leak of rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr
This buffer is currently allocated in hfi1_init():
if (reinit)
ret = init_after_reset(dd);
else
ret = loadtime_init(dd);
if (ret)
goto done;
/* allocate dummy tail memory for all receive contexts */
dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr = dma_alloc_coherent(&dd->pcidev->dev,
sizeof(u64),
&dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_dma,
GFP_KERNEL);
if (!dd->rcvhdrtail_dummy_kvaddr) {
dd_dev_err(dd, "cannot allocate dummy tail memory\n");
ret = -ENOMEM;
goto done;
}
The reinit triggered path will overwrite the old allocation and leak it.
Fix by moving the allocation to hfi1_alloc_devdata() and the deallocation
to hfi1_free_devdata().
