Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cifs: prevent NULL deref in cifs_compose_mount_options()
The optional @ref parameter might contain an NULL node_name, so
prevent dereferencing it in cifs_compose_mount_options().
Addresses-Coverity: 1476408 ("Explicit null dereferenced")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: validate lwtstate->data before returning from skb_tunnel_info()
skb_tunnel_info() returns pointer of lwtstate->data as ip_tunnel_info
type without validation. lwtstate->data can have various types such as
mpls_iptunnel_encap, etc and these are not compatible.
So skb_tunnel_info() should validate before returning that pointer.
Splat looks like:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ti: fix UAF in tlan_remove_one
priv is netdev private data and it cannot be
used after free_netdev() call. Using priv after free_netdev()
can cause UAF bug. Fix it by moving free_netdev() at the end of the
function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: Fix dereference of null pointer flow
In the case where chain->flags & NFT_CHAIN_HW_OFFLOAD is false then
nft_flow_rule_create is not called and flow is NULL. The subsequent
error handling execution via label err_destroy_flow_rule will lead
to a null pointer dereference on flow when calling nft_flow_rule_destroy.
Since the error path to err_destroy_flow_rule has to cater for null
and non-null flows, only call nft_flow_rule_destroy if flow is non-null
to fix this issue.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Explicity null dereference")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: CPPC: Fix potential memleak in cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init
It's a classic example of memleak, we allocate something, we fail and
never free the resources.
Make sure we free all resources on policy ->init() failures.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
memory: fsl_ifc: fix leak of private memory on probe failure
On probe error the driver should free the memory allocated for private
structure. Fix this by using resource-managed allocation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: fix NULL dereference in nfs3svc_encode_getaclres
In error cases the dentry may be NULL.
Before 20798dfe249a, the encoder also checked dentry and
d_really_is_positive(dentry), but that looks like overkill to me--zero
status should be enough to guarantee a positive dentry.
This isn't the first time we've seen an error-case NULL dereference
hidden in the initialization of a local variable in an xdr encoder. But
I went back through the other recent rewrites and didn't spot any
similar bugs.
