Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dm rq: don't queue request to blk-mq during DM suspend
DM uses blk-mq's quiesce/unquiesce to stop/start device mapper queue.
But blk-mq's unquiesce may come from outside events, such as elevator
switch, updating nr_requests or others, and request may come during
suspend, so simply ask for blk-mq to requeue it.
Fixes one kernel panic issue when running updating nr_requests and
dm-mpath suspend/resume stress test.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/mlx5: Initialize the ODP xarray when creating an ODP MR
Normally the zero fill would hide the missing initialization, but an
errant set to desc_size in reg_create() causes a crash:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: batman-adv: fix error handling
Syzbot reported ODEBUG warning in batadv_nc_mesh_free(). The problem was
in wrong error handling in batadv_mesh_init().
Before this patch batadv_mesh_init() was calling batadv_mesh_free() in case
of any batadv_*_init() calls failure. This approach may work well, when
there is some kind of indicator, which can tell which parts of batadv are
initialized; but there isn't any.
All written above lead to cleaning up uninitialized fields. Even if we hide
ODEBUG warning by initializing bat_priv->nc.work, syzbot was able to hit
GPF in batadv_nc_purge_paths(), because hash pointer in still NULL. [1]
To fix these bugs we can unwind batadv_*_init() calls one by one.
It is good approach for 2 reasons: 1) It fixes bugs on error handling
path 2) It improves the performance, since we won't call unneeded
batadv_*_free() functions.
So, this patch makes all batadv_*_init() clean up all allocated memory
before returning with an error to no call correspoing batadv_*_free()
and open-codes batadv_mesh_free() with proper order to avoid touching
uninitialized fields.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regmap: Fix possible double-free in regcache_rbtree_exit()
In regcache_rbtree_insert_to_block(), when 'present' realloc failed,
the 'blk' which is supposed to assign to 'rbnode->block' will be freed,
so 'rbnode->block' points a freed memory, in the error handling path of
regcache_rbtree_init(), 'rbnode->block' will be freed again in
regcache_rbtree_exit(), KASAN will report double-free as follows:
BUG: KASAN: double-free or invalid-free in kfree+0xce/0x390

To fix this, moving up the assignment of rbnode->block to immediately after
the reallocation has succeeded so that the data structure stays valid even
if the second reallocation fails.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/qib: Protect from buffer overflow in struct qib_user_sdma_pkt fields
Overflowing either addrlimit or bytes_togo can allow userspace to trigger
a buffer overflow of kernel memory. Check for overflows in all the places
doing math on user controlled buffers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv, bpf: Fix potential NULL dereference
The bpf_jit_binary_free() function requires a non-NULL argument. When
the RISC-V BPF JIT fails to converge in NR_JIT_ITERATIONS steps,
jit_data->header will be NULL, which triggers a NULL
dereference. Avoid this by checking the argument, prior calling the
function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: khugepaged: skip huge page collapse for special files
The read-only THP for filesystems will collapse THP for files opened
readonly and mapped with VM_EXEC. The intended usecase is to avoid TLB
misses for large text segments. But it doesn't restrict the file types
so a THP could be collapsed for a non-regular file, for example, block
device, if it is opened readonly and mapped with EXEC permission. This
may cause bugs, like [1] and [2].
This is definitely not the intended usecase, so just collapse THP for
regular files in order to close the attack surface.
