Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: synaptics-rmi4 - fix use after free in rmi_unregister_function()
The put_device() calls rmi_release_function() which frees "fn" so the
dereference on the next line "fn->num_of_irqs" is a use after free.
Move the put_device() to the end to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: vidtv: mux: Add check and kfree for kstrdup
Add check for the return value of kstrdup() and return the error
if it fails in order to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
Moreover, use kfree() in the later error handling in order to avoid
memory leak.

Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.2-1.fc38 04/01/2014

The following simple reproducer can cause the issue described above:
int main(void)
{
int sock;
struct sockaddr_vm addr = {
.svm_family = AF_VSOCK,
.svm_cid = VMADDR_CID_ANY,
.svm_port = 1234,
};
sock = socket(AF_VSOCK, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
connect(sock, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));
return 0;
}
This issue occurs because the `buf_alloc` and `fwd_cnt` fields of the
`struct virtio_vsock_hdr` are not initialized when a new skb is allocated
in `virtio_transport_init_hdr()`. This patch resolves the issue by
initializing these fields during allocation.

TIPC bearer-related names including link names must be null-terminated
strings. If a link name which is not null-terminated is passed through
netlink, strstr() and similar functions can cause buffer overrun. This
causes the above issue.
This patch changes the nla_policy for bearer-related names from NLA_STRING
to NLA_NUL_STRING. This resolves the issue by ensuring that only
null-terminated strings are accepted as bearer-related names.
syzbot reported similar uninit-value issue related to bearer names [2]. The
root cause of this issue is that a non-null-terminated bearer name was
passed. This patch also resolved this issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hsr: Prevent use after free in prp_create_tagged_frame()
The prp_fill_rct() function can fail. In that situation, it frees the
skb and returns NULL. Meanwhile on the success path, it returns the
original skb. So it's straight forward to fix bug by using the returned
value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: bttv: fix use after free error due to btv->timeout timer
There may be some a race condition between timer function
bttv_irq_timeout and bttv_remove. The timer is setup in
probe and there is no timer_delete operation in remove
function. When it hit kfree btv, the function might still be
invoked, which will cause use after free bug.
This bug is found by static analysis, it may be false positive.
Fix it by adding del_timer_sync invoking to the remove function.

In f2fs_put_super(), it tries to do sanity check on dirty and IO
reference count of f2fs, once there is any reference count leak,
it will trigger panic.
The root case is, during f2fs_put_super(), if there is any IO error
in f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(), we missed to truncate meta_inode's page
cache later, result in panic, fix this case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panel: fix a possible null pointer dereference
In versatile_panel_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate()
is assigned to mode, which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference
on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.
