Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Use mlx5_ipsec_rx_status_destroy to correctly delete status rules
rx_create no longer allocates a modify_hdr instance that needs to be
cleaned up. The mlx5_modify_header_dealloc call will lead to a NULL pointer
dereference. A leak in the rules also previously occurred since there are
now two rules populated related to status.

The reproducer invokes shutdown() before entering the listener status.
After commit 94062790aedb ("tcp: defer shutdown(SEND_SHUTDOWN) for
TCP_SYN_RECV sockets"), the above causes the child to reach the accept
syscall in FIN_WAIT1 status.
Eric noted we can relax the existing assertion in __inet_accept()
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tls: fix missing memory barrier in tls_init
In tls_init(), a write memory barrier is missing, and store-store
reordering may cause NULL dereference in tls_{setsockopt,getsockopt}.
CPU0 CPU1
----- -----
// In tls_init()
// In tls_ctx_create()
ctx = kzalloc()
ctx->sk_proto = READ_ONCE(sk->sk_prot) -(1)
// In update_sk_prot()
WRITE_ONCE(sk->sk_prot, tls_prots) -(2)
// In sock_common_setsockopt()
READ_ONCE(sk->sk_prot)->setsockopt()
// In tls_{setsockopt,getsockopt}()
ctx->sk_proto->setsockopt() -(3)
In the above scenario, when (1) and (2) are reordered, (3) can observe
the NULL value of ctx->sk_proto, causing NULL dereference.
To fix it, we rely on rcu_assign_pointer() which implies the release
barrier semantic. By moving rcu_assign_pointer() after ctx->sk_proto is
initialized, we can ensure that ctx->sk_proto are visible when
changing sk->sk_prot.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tcp: Fix shift-out-of-bounds in dctcp_update_alpha().
In dctcp_update_alpha(), we use a module parameter dctcp_shift_g
as follows:
alpha -= min_not_zero(alpha, alpha >> dctcp_shift_g);
...
delivered_ce <<= (10 - dctcp_shift_g);
It seems syzkaller started fuzzing module parameters and triggered
shift-out-of-bounds [0] by setting 100 to dctcp_shift_g:
memcpy((void*)0x20000080,
"/sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g\000", 47);
res = syscall(__NR_openat, /*fd=*/0xffffffffffffff9cul, /*file=*/0x20000080ul,
/*flags=*/2ul, /*mode=*/0ul);
memcpy((void*)0x20000000, "100\000", 4);
syscall(__NR_write, /*fd=*/r[0], /*val=*/0x20000000ul, /*len=*/4ul);
Let's limit the max value of dctcp_shift_g by param_set_uint_minmax().
With this patch:
# echo 10 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
# cat /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
10
# echo 11 > /sys/module/tcp_dctcp/parameters/dctcp_shift_g
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

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.
