Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: qat - validate slices count returned by FW
The function adf_send_admin_tl_start() enables the telemetry (TL)
feature on a QAT device by sending the ICP_QAT_FW_TL_START message to
the firmware. This triggers the FW to start writing TL data to a DMA
buffer in memory and returns an array containing the number of
accelerators of each type (slices) supported by this HW.
The pointer to this array is stored in the adf_tl_hw_data data
structure called slice_cnt.
The array slice_cnt is then used in the function tl_print_dev_data()
to report in debugfs only statistics about the supported accelerators.
An incorrect value of the elements in slice_cnt might lead to an out
of bounds memory read.
At the moment, there isn't an implementation of FW that returns a wrong
value, but for robustness validate the slice count array returned by FW.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix netif state handling
mlx5e_suspend cleans resources only if netif_device_present() returns
true. However, mlx5e_resume changes the state of netif, via
mlx5e_nic_enable, only if reg_state == NETREG_REGISTERED.
In the below case, the above leads to NULL-ptr Oops[1] and memory
leaks:
mlx5e_probe
_mlx5e_resume
mlx5e_attach_netdev
mlx5e_nic_enable <-- netdev not reg, not calling netif_device_attach()
register_netdev <-- failed for some reason.
ERROR_FLOW:
_mlx5e_suspend <-- netif_device_present return false, resources aren't freed :(
Hence, clean resources in this case as well.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: connac: check for null before dereferencing
The wcid can be NULL. It should be checked for validity before
dereferencing it to avoid crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Modify the print level of CQE error
Too much print may lead to a panic in kernel. Change ibdev_err() to
ibdev_err_ratelimited(), and change the printing level of cqe dump
to debug level.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix deadlock on SRQ async events.
xa_lock for SRQ table may be required in AEQ. Use xa_store_irq()/
xa_erase_irq() to avoid deadlock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
eth: sungem: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks
Erhard reports netpoll warnings from sungem:
netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(): eth0 enabled interrupts in poll (gem_start_xmit+0x0/0x398)
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at net/core/netpoll.c:370 netpoll_send_skb+0x1fc/0x20c
gem_poll_controller() disables interrupts, which may sleep.
We can't sleep in netpoll, it has interrupts disabled completely.
Strangely, gem_poll_controller() doesn't even poll the completions,
and instead acts as if an interrupt has fired so it just schedules
NAPI and exits. None of this has been necessary for years, since
netpoll invokes NAPI directly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: fix resync softlockup when bitmap size is less than array size
Is is reported that for dm-raid10, lvextend + lvchange --syncaction will
trigger following softlockup:
kernel:watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 26s! [mdX_resync:6976]
CPU: 7 PID: 3588 Comm: mdX_resync Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.9.0-rc4-next-20240419 #1

while (j < max_sectors)
sectors = raid10_sync_request(mddev, j, &skipped)
if (!md_bitmap_start_sync(..., &sync_blocks))
// md_bitmap_start_sync set sync_blocks to 0
return sync_blocks + sectors_skippe;
// sectors = 0;
j += sectors;
// j never change
Root cause is that commit 301867b1c168 ("md/raid10: check
slab-out-of-bounds in md_bitmap_get_counter") return early from
md_bitmap_get_counter(), without setting returned blocks.
Fix this problem by always set returned blocks from
md_bitmap_get_counter"(), as it used to be.
Noted that this patch just fix the softlockup problem in kernel, the
case that bitmap size doesn't match array size still need to be fixed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: Fix deadlocks with kctl removals at disconnection
In snd_card_disconnect(), we set card->shutdown flag at the beginning,
call callbacks and do sync for card->power_ref_sleep waiters at the
end. The callback may delete a kctl element, and this can lead to a
deadlock when the device was in the suspended state. Namely:
* A process waits for the power up at snd_power_ref_and_wait() in
snd_ctl_info() or read/write() inside card->controls_rwsem.
* The system gets disconnected meanwhile, and the driver tries to
delete a kctl via snd_ctl_remove*(); it tries to take
card->controls_rwsem again, but this is already locked by the
above. Since the sleeper isn't woken up, this deadlocks.
An easy fix is to wake up sleepers before processing the driver
disconnect callbacks but right after setting the card->shutdown flag.
Then all sleepers will abort immediately, and the code flows again.
So, basically this patch moves the wait_event() call at the right
timing. While we're at it, just to be sure, call wait_event_all()
instead of wait_event(), although we don't use exclusive events on
this queue for now.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu/mes: fix use-after-free issue
Delete fence fallback timer to fix the ramdom
use-after-free issue.
