Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In June 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: pcie: handle randbuf allocation failure
The kzalloc() in brcmf_pcie_download_fw_nvram() will return null
if the physical memory has run out. As a result, if we use
get_random_bytes() to generate random bytes in the randbuf, the
null pointer dereference bug will happen.
In order to prevent allocation failure, this patch adds a separate
function using buffer on kernel stack to generate random bytes in
the randbuf, which could prevent the kernel stack from overflow.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu: Fix buffer overflow in print_cpu_stall_info()
The rcuc-starvation output from print_cpu_stall_info() might overflow the
buffer if there is a huge difference in jiffies difference. The situation
might seem improbable, but computers sometimes get very confused about
time, which can result in full-sized integers, and, in this case,
buffer overflow.
Also, the unsigned jiffies difference is printed using %ld, which is
normally for signed integers. This is intentional for debugging purposes,
but it is not obvious from the code.
This commit therefore changes sprintf() to snprintf() and adds a
clarifying comment about intention of %ld format.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rcu-tasks: Fix show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread buffer overflow
There is a possibility of buffer overflow in
show_rcu_tasks_trace_gp_kthread() if counters, passed
to sprintf() are huge. Counter numbers, needed for this
are unrealistically high, but buffer overflow is still
possible.
Use snprintf() with buffer size instead of sprintf().

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

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: bfa: Ensure the copied buf is NUL terminated
Currently, we allocate a nbytes-sized kernel buffer and copy nbytes 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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kunit: Fix kthread reference
There is a race condition when a kthread finishes after the deadline and
before the call to kthread_stop(), which may lead to use after free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: Avoid address calculations via out of bounds array indexing
Before request->channels[] can be used, request->n_channels must be set.
Additionally, address calculations for memory after the "channels" array
need to be calculated from the allocation base ("request") rather than
via the first "out of bounds" index of "channels", otherwise run-time
bounds checking will throw a warning.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/perf: hisi: hns3: Fix out-of-bound access when valid event group
The perf tool allows users to create event groups through following
cmd [1], but the driver does not check whether the array index is out
of bounds when writing data to the event_group array. If the number of
events in an event_group is greater than HNS3_PMU_MAX_HW_EVENTS, the
memory write overflow of event_group array occurs.
Add array index check to fix the possible array out of bounds violation,
and return directly when write new events are written to array bounds.
There are 9 different events in an event_group.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm: bridge: cdns-mhdp8546: Fix possible null pointer dereference
In cdns_mhdp_atomic_enable(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate() is
assigned to mhdp_state->current_mode, and there is a dereference of it in
drm_mode_set_name(), which will lead to a NULL pointer dereference on
failure of drm_mode_duplicate().
Fix this bug add a check of mhdp_state->current_mode.
