Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
comedi: Fix memory leak in compat_insnlist()
`compat_insnlist()` handles the 32-bit version of the `COMEDI_INSNLIST`
ioctl (whenwhen `CONFIG_COMPAT` is enabled). It allocates memory to
temporarily hold an array of `struct comedi_insn` converted from the
32-bit version in user space. This memory is only being freed if there
is a fault while filling the array, otherwise it is leaked.
Add a call to `kfree()` to fix the leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix page leak
There's a loop in afs_extend_writeback() that adds extra pages to a write
we want to make to improve the efficiency of the writeback by making it
larger. This loop stops, however, if we hit a page we can't write back
from immediately, but it doesn't get rid of the page ref we speculatively
acquired.
This was caused by the removal of the cleanup loop when the code switched
from using find_get_pages_contig() to xarray scanning as the latter only
gets a single page at a time, not a batch.
Fix this by putting the page on a ref on an early break from the loop.
Unfortunately, we can't just add that page to the pagevec we're employing
as we'll go through that and add those pages to the RPC call.
This was found by the generic/074 test. It leaks ~4GiB of RAM each time it
is run - which can be observed with "top".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
afs: Fix corruption in reads at fpos 2G-4G from an OpenAFS server
AFS-3 has two data fetch RPC variants, FS.FetchData and FS.FetchData64, and
Linux's afs client switches between them when talking to a non-YFS server
if the read size, the file position or the sum of the two have the upper 32
bits set of the 64-bit value.
This is a problem, however, since the file position and length fields of
FS.FetchData are *signed* 32-bit values.
Fix this by capturing the capability bits obtained from the fileserver when
it's sent an FS.GetCapabilities RPC, rather than just discarding them, and
then picking out the VICED_CAPABILITY_64BITFILES flag. This can then be
used to decide whether to use FS.FetchData or FS.FetchData64 - and also
FS.StoreData or FS.StoreData64 - rather than using upper_32_bits() to
switch on the parameter values.
This capabilities flag could also be used to limit the maximum size of the
file, but all servers must be checked for that.
Note that the issue does not exist with FS.StoreData - that uses *unsigned*
32-bit values. It's also not a problem with Auristor servers as its
YFS.FetchData64 op uses unsigned 64-bit values.
This can be tested by cloning a git repo through an OpenAFS client to an
OpenAFS server and then doing "git status" on it from a Linux afs
client[1]. Provided the clone has a pack file that's in the 2G-4G range,
the git status will show errors like:
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index
error: packfile .git/objects/pack/pack-5e813c51d12b6847bbc0fcd97c2bca66da50079c.pack does not match index
This can be observed in the server's FileLog with something like the
following appearing:
Sun Aug 29 19:31:39 2021 SRXAFS_FetchData, Fid = 2303380852.491776.3263114, Host 192.168.11.201:7001, Id 1001

virtio-net: fix pages leaking when building skb in big mode
We try to use build_skb() if we had sufficient tailroom. But we forget
to release the unused pages chained via private in big mode which will
leak pages. Fixing this by release the pages after building the skb in
big mode.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
enetc: Fix illegal access when reading affinity_hint
irq_set_affinity_hit() stores a reference to the cpumask_t
parameter in the irq descriptor, and that reference can be
accessed later from irq_affinity_hint_proc_show(). Since
the cpu_mask parameter passed to irq_set_affinity_hit() has
only temporary storage (it's on the stack memory), later
accesses to it are illegal. Thus reads from the corresponding
procfs affinity_hint file can result in paging request oops.
The issue is fixed by the get_cpu_mask() helper, which provides
a permanent storage for the cpumask_t parameter.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/qeth: fix NULL deref in qeth_clear_working_pool_list()
When qeth_set_online() calls qeth_clear_working_pool_list() to roll
back after an error exit from qeth_hardsetup_card(), we are at risk of
accessing card->qdio.in_q before it was allocated by
qeth_alloc_qdio_queues() via qeth_mpc_initialize().
qeth_clear_working_pool_list() then dereferences NULL, and by writing to
queue->bufs[i].pool_entry scribbles all over the CPU's lowcore.
Resulting in a crash when those lowcore areas are used next (eg. on
the next machine-check interrupt).
Such a scenario would typically happen when the device is first set
online and its queues aren't allocated yet. An early IO error or certain
misconfigs (eg. mismatched transport mode, bad portno) then cause us to
error out from qeth_hardsetup_card() with card->qdio.in_q still being
NULL.
Fix it by checking the pointer for NULL before accessing it.
Note that we also have (rare) paths inside qeth_mpc_initialize() where
a configuration change can cause us to free the existing queues,
expecting that subsequent code will allocate them again. If we then
error out before that re-allocation happens, the same bug occurs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: ensure tx skbs always have the MPTCP ext
Due to signed/unsigned comparison, the expression:
info->size_goal - skb->len > 0
evaluates to true when the size goal is smaller than the
skb size. That results in lack of tx cache refill, so that
the skb allocated by the core TCP code lacks the required
MPTCP skb extensions.
Due to the above, syzbot is able to trigger the following WARN_ON():

sign-related problems - note: size_goal is always >= 0.
Additionally, ensure that the skb in the tx cache always carries
the relevant extension.

RDMA/cma: Fix rdma_resolve_route() memory leak
Fix a memory leak when "mda_resolve_route() is called more than once on
the same "rdma_cm_id".
This is possible if cma_query_handler() triggers the
RDMA_CM_EVENT_ROUTE_ERROR flow which puts the state machine back and
allows rdma_resolve_route() to be called again.

coresight: tmc-etf: Fix global-out-of-bounds in tmc_update_etf_buffer()
commit 6f755e85c332 ("coresight: Add helper for inserting synchronization

call sites like etb_update_buffer() to have proper checks for barrier_pkt
size before read but missed updating tmc_update_etf_buffer() which still
reads barrier_pkt past the array size resulting in KASAN out-of-bounds
