Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In May 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: fix null pointer dereference within spi_sync
If spi_sync() is called with the non-empty queue and the same spi_message
is then reused, the complete callback for the message remains set while
the context is cleared, leading to a null pointer dereference when the
callback is invoked from spi_finalize_current_message().
With function inlining disabled, the call stack might look like this:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave from complete_with_flags+0x18/0x58
complete_with_flags from spi_complete+0x8/0xc
spi_complete from spi_finalize_current_message+0xec/0x184
spi_finalize_current_message from spi_transfer_one_message+0x2a8/0x474
spi_transfer_one_message from __spi_pump_transfer_message+0x104/0x230

_regmap_bus_read from _regmap_read+0x60/0xd8
_regmap_read from regmap_read+0x3c/0x5c
regmap_read from mcp251xfd_alloc_can_err_skb+0x1c/0x54 [mcp251xfd]
mcp251xfd_alloc_can_err_skb [mcp251xfd] from mcp251xfd_irq+0x194/0xe70 [mcp251xfd]
mcp251xfd_irq [mcp251xfd] from irq_thread_fn+0x1c/0x78
irq_thread_fn from irq_thread+0x118/0x1f4
irq_thread from kthread+0xd8/0xf4
kthread from ret_from_fork+0x14/0x28
Fix this by also setting message->complete to NULL when the transfer is
complete.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/cio: Ensure the copied buf is NUL terminated
Currently, we allocate a lbuf-sized kernel buffer and copy lbuf from
userspace to that buffer. Later, we use scanf on this buffer but we don't
ensure that the string is terminated inside the buffer, this can lead to
OOB read when using scanf. Fix this issue by using memdup_user_nul instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/debugfs: Prevent use-after-free from occurring after cdev removal
Since thermal_debug_cdev_remove() does not run under cdev->lock, it can
run in parallel with thermal_debug_cdev_state_update() and it may free
the struct thermal_debugfs object used by the latter after it has been
checked against NULL.
If that happens, thermal_debug_cdev_state_update() will access memory
that has been freed already causing the kernel to crash.
Address this by using cdev->lock in thermal_debug_cdev_remove() around
the cdev->debugfs value check (in case the same cdev is removed at the
same time in two different threads) and its reset to NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: ensure the copied buf is NUL terminated
Currently, we allocate a count-sized kernel buffer and copy count bytes
from userspace to that buffer. Later, we use sscanf on this buffer but we
don't ensure that the string is terminated inside the buffer, this can lead
to OOB read when using sscanf. Fix this issue by using memdup_user_nul
instead of memdup_user.

Prior to this, commit 4cd12c6065df ("bpf, sockmap: Fix NULL pointer
dereference in sk_psock_verdict_data_ready()") fixed one NULL pointer
similarly due to no protection of saved_data_ready. Here is another
different caller causing the same issue because of the same reason. So
we should protect it with sk_callback_lock read lock because the writer
side in the sk_psock_drop() uses "write_lock_bh(&sk->sk_callback_lock);".
To avoid errors that could happen in future, I move those two pairs of
lock into the sk_psock_data_ready(), which is suggested by John Fastabend.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: guard against invalid STA ID on removal
Guard against invalid station IDs in iwl_mvm_mld_rm_sta_id as that would
result in out-of-bounds array accesses. This prevents issues should the
driver get into a bad state during error handling.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/9p: fix uninitialized values during inode evict
If an iget fails due to not being able to retrieve information
from the server then the inode structure is only partially
initialized. When the inode gets evicted, references to
uninitialized structures (like fscache cookies) were being
made.
This patch checks for a bad_inode before doing anything other
than clearing the inode from the cache. Since the inode is
bad, it shouldn't have any state associated with it that needs
to be written back (and there really isn't a way to complete
those anyways).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Release hbalock before calling lpfc_worker_wake_up()
lpfc_worker_wake_up() calls the lpfc_work_done() routine, which takes the
hbalock. Thus, lpfc_worker_wake_up() should not be called while holding the
hbalock to avoid potential deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
swiotlb: initialise restricted pool list_head when SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y
Using restricted DMA pools (CONFIG_DMA_RESTRICTED_POOL=y) in conjunction
with dynamic SWIOTLB (CONFIG_SWIOTLB_DYNAMIC=y) leads to the following
crash when initialising the restricted pools at boot-time:
| Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000008
| Internal error: Oops: 0000000096000005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

faddr2line reveals that the crash is in the list validation code:

include/linux/rculist.h:79
include/linux/rculist.h:106
kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:306
kernel/dma/swiotlb.c:1695
because add_mem_pool() is trying to list_add_rcu() to a NULL
'mem->pools'.
Fix the crash by initialising the 'mem->pools' list_head in
rmem_swiotlb_device_init() before calling add_mem_pool().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries/iommu: LPAR panics during boot up with a frozen PE
At the time of LPAR boot up, partition firmware provides Open Firmware
property ibm,dma-window for the PE. This property is provided on the PCI
bus the PE is attached to.
There are execptions where the partition firmware might not provide this
property for the PE at the time of LPAR boot up. One of the scenario is
where the firmware has frozen the PE due to some error condition. This
PE is frozen for 24 hours or unless the whole system is reinitialized.
Within this time frame, if the LPAR is booted, the frozen PE will be
presented to the LPAR but ibm,dma-window property could be missing.
Today, under these circumstances, the LPAR oopses with NULL pointer
dereference, when configuring the PCI bus the PE is attached to.
