Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfc: nci: Fix uninit-value in nci_rx_work
syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1]
nci_rx_work() parses received packet from ndev->rx_q. It should be
validated header size, payload size and total packet size before
processing the packet. If an invalid packet is detected, it should be
silently discarded.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda/cs_dsp_ctl: Use private_free for control cleanup
Use the control private_free callback to free the associated data
block. This ensures that the memory won't leak, whatever way the
control gets destroyed.
The original implementation didn't actually remove the ALSA
controls in hda_cs_dsp_control_remove(). It only freed the internal
tracking structure. This meant it was possible to remove/unload the
amp driver while leaving its ALSA controls still present in the
soundcard. Obviously attempting to access them could cause segfaults
or at least dereferencing stale pointers.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/a6xx: Avoid a nullptr dereference when speedbin setting fails
Calling a6xx_destroy() before adreno_gpu_init() leads to a null pointer
dereference on:
msm_gpu_cleanup() : platform_set_drvdata(gpu->pdev, NULL);
as gpu->pdev is only assigned in:
a6xx_gpu_init()
|_ adreno_gpu_init
|_ msm_gpu_init()
Instead of relying on handwavy null checks down the cleanup chain,
explicitly de-allocate the LLC data and free a6xx_gpu instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Input: cyapa - add missing input core locking to suspend/resume functions
Grab input->mutex during suspend/resume functions like it is done in
other input drivers. This fixes the following warning during system
suspend/resume cycle on Samsung Exynos5250-based Snow Chromebook:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efi: libstub: only free priv.runtime_map when allocated
priv.runtime_map is only allocated when efi_novamap is not set.
Otherwise, it is an uninitialized value. In the error path, it is freed
unconditionally. Avoid passing an uninitialized value to free_pool.
Free priv.runtime_map only when it was allocated.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.
IBM i 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5 product IBM TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for i contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with command line access to the host operating system can elevate privileges to gain root access to the host operating system. IBM X-Force ID: 288171.
The Themify – WooCommerce Product Filter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to time-based SQL Injection via the ‘conditions’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.4.9 due to insufficient escaping on the user supplied parameter and lack of sufficient preparation on the existing SQL query. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to append additional SQL queries into already existing queries that can be used to extract sensitive information from the database.
The Online Booking & Scheduling Calendar for WordPress by vcita plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘d’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
The Booking for Appointments and Events Calendar – Amelia plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.5 (and 7.5.1 for the Pro version) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
The WP SVG Images plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘type’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.2 due to insufficient input sanitization. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, who have permissions to upload sanitized files, to bypass SVG sanitization and inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
