Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: amd_sfh: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference
devm_add_action_or_reset() can suddenly invoke amd_mp2_pci_remove() at
registration that will cause NULL pointer dereference since
corresponding data is not initialized yet. The patch moves
initialization of data before devm_add_action_or_reset().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/qeth: fix deadlock during failing recovery
Commit 0b9902c1fcc5 ("s390/qeth: fix deadlock during recovery") removed
taking discipline_mutex inside qeth_do_reset(), fixing potential
deadlocks. An error path was missed though, that still takes
discipline_mutex and thus has the original deadlock potential.
Intermittent deadlocks were seen when a qeth channel path is configured
offline, causing a race between qeth_do_reset and ccwgroup_remove.
Call qeth_set_offline() directly in the qeth_do_reset() error case and
then a new variant of ccwgroup_set_offline(), without taking
discipline_mutex.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (w83793) Fix NULL pointer dereference by removing unnecessary structure field
If driver read tmp value sufficient for
(tmp & 0x08) && (!(tmp & 0x80)) && ((tmp & 0x7) == ((tmp >> 4) & 0x7))
from device then Null pointer dereference occurs.
(It is possible if tmp = 0b0xyz1xyz, where same literals mean same numbers)
Also lm75[] does not serve a purpose anymore after switching to
devm_i2c_new_dummy_device() in w83791d_detect_subclients().
The patch fixes possible NULL pointer dereference by removing lm75[].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
atm: iphase: fix possible use-after-free in ia_module_exit()
This module's remove path calls del_timer(). However, that function
does not wait until the timer handler finishes. This means that the
timer handler may still be running after the driver's remove function
has finished, which would result in a use-after-free.
Fix by calling del_timer_sync(), which makes sure the timer handler
has finished, and unable to re-schedule itself.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: greybus: uart: fix tty use after free
User space can hold a tty open indefinitely and tty drivers must not
release the underlying structures until the last user is gone.
Switch to using the tty-port reference counter to manage the life time
of the greybus tty state to avoid use after free after a disconnect.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: make sure fd closes complete
During BC_FREE_BUFFER processing, the BINDER_TYPE_FDA object
cleanup may close 1 or more fds. The close operations are
completed using the task work mechanism -- which means the thread
needs to return to userspace or the file object may never be
dereferenced -- which can lead to hung processes.
Force the binder thread back to userspace if an fd is closed during
BC_FREE_BUFFER handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mcb: fix error handling in mcb_alloc_bus()
There are two bugs:
1) If ida_simple_get() fails then this code calls put_device(carrier)
but we haven't yet called get_device(carrier) and probably that
leads to a use after free.
2) After device_initialize() then we need to use put_device() to
release the bus. This will free the internal resources tied to the
device and call mcb_free_bus() which will free the rest.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/pm: Update intermediate power state for SI
Update the current state as boot state during dpm initialization.
During the subsequent initialization, set_power_state gets called to
transition to the final power state. set_power_state refers to values
from the current state and without current state populated, it could
result in NULL pointer dereference.
For ex: on platforms where PCI speed change is supported through ACPI
ATCS method, the link speed of current state needs to be queried before
deciding on changing to final power state's link speed. The logic to query
ATCS-support was broken on certain platforms. The issue became visible
when broken ATCS-support logic got fixed with commit
f9b7f3703ff9 ("drm/amdgpu/acpi: make ATPX/ATCS structures global (v2)").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nexthop: Fix division by zero while replacing a resilient group
The resilient nexthop group torture tests in fib_nexthop.sh exposed a
possible division by zero while replacing a resilient group [1]. The
division by zero occurs when the data path sees a resilient nexthop
group with zero buckets.
The tests replace a resilient nexthop group in a loop while traffic is
forwarded through it. The tests do not specify the number of buckets
while performing the replacement, resulting in the kernel allocating a
stub resilient table (i.e, 'struct nh_res_table') with zero buckets.
This table should never be visible to the data path, but the old nexthop
group (i.e., 'oldg') might still be used by the data path when the stub
table is assigned to it.
Fix this by only assigning the stub table to the old nexthop group after
making sure the group is no longer used by the data path.
Tested with fib_nexthops.sh:
