Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In June 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/mediatek: Add 0 size check to mtk_drm_gem_obj
Add a check to mtk_drm_gem_init if we attempt to allocate a GEM object
of 0 bytes. Currently, no such check exists and the kernel will panic if
a userspace application attempts to allocate a 0x0 GBM buffer.
Tested by attempting to allocate a 0x0 GBM buffer on an MT8188 and
verifying that we now return EINVAL.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: kirkwood: Fix potential NULL dereference
In kirkwood_dma_hw_params() mv_mbus_dram_info() returns NULL if
CONFIG_PLAT_ORION macro is not defined.
Fix this bug by adding NULL check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: Assign dummy when codec not specified for a DAI link
MediaTek sound card drivers are checking whether a DAI link is present
and used on a board to assign the correct parameters and this is done
by checking the codec DAI names at probe time.
If no real codec is present, assign the dummy codec to the DAI link
to avoid NULL pointer during string comparison.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix potential index out of bounds in color transformation function
Fixes index out of bounds issue in the color transformation function.
The issue could occur when the index 'i' exceeds the number of transfer
function points (TRANSFER_FUNC_POINTS).
The fix adds a check to ensure 'i' is within bounds before accessing the
transfer function points. If 'i' is out of bounds, an error message is
logged and the function returns false to indicate an error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: fec: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid deadlocks
There is a deadlock issue found in sungem driver, please refer to the
commit ac0a230f719b ("eth: sungem: remove .ndo_poll_controller to avoid
deadlocks"). The root cause of the issue is that netpoll is in atomic
context and disable_irq() is called by .ndo_poll_controller interface
of sungem driver, however, disable_irq() might sleep. After analyzing
the implementation of fec_poll_controller(), the fec driver should have
the same issue. Due to the fec driver uses NAPI for TX completions, the
.ndo_poll_controller is unnecessary to be implemented in the fec driver,
so fec_poll_controller() can be safely removed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: Fix reference count leak issue of net_device
There is a reference count leak issue of the object "net_device" in
ax25_dev_device_down(). When the ax25 device is shutting down, the
ax25_dev_device_down() drops the reference count of net_device one
or zero times depending on if we goto unlock_put or not, which will
cause memory leak.
In order to solve the above issue, decrease the reference count of
net_device after dev->ax25_ptr is set to null.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Discard command completions in internal error
Fix use after free when FW completion arrives while device is in
internal error state. Avoid calling completion handler in this case,
since the device will flush the command interface and trigger all
completions manually.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Add a timeout to acquire the command queue semaphore
Prevent forced completion handling on an entry that has not yet been
assigned an index, causing an out of bounds access on idx = -22.
Instead of waiting indefinitely for the sem, blocking flow now waits for
index to be allocated or a sem acquisition timeout before beginning the
timer for FW completion.
Kernel log example:
mlx5_core 0000:06:00.0: wait_func_handle_exec_timeout:1128:(pid 185911): cmd[-22]: CREATE_UCTX(0xa04) No done completion
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Reload only IB representors upon lag disable/enable
On lag disable, the bond IB device along with all of its
representors are destroyed, and then the slaves' representors get reloaded.
In case the slave IB representor load fails, the eswitch error flow
unloads all representors, including ethernet representors, where the
netdevs get detached and removed from lag bond. Such flow is inaccurate
as the lag driver is not responsible for loading/unloading ethernet
representors. Furthermore, the flow described above begins by holding
lag lock to prevent bond changes during disable flow. However, when
reaching the ethernet representors detachment from lag, the lag lock is
required again, triggering the following deadlock:

Thus, upon lag enable/disable, load and unload only the IB representors
of the slaves preventing the deadlock mentioned above.
While at it, refactor the mlx5_esw_offloads_rep_load() function to have
a static helper method for its internal logic, in symmetry with the
representor unload design.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bridge: xmit: make sure we have at least eth header len bytes
syzbot triggered an uninit value[1] error in bridge device's xmit path
by sending a short (less than ETH_HLEN bytes) skb. To fix it check if
we can actually pull that amount instead of assuming.
