Sensitive information disclosure due to excessive privileges assigned to Acronis Agent. The following products are affected: Acronis Cyber Protect 15 (Windows, Linux) before build 30984.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa: fix use-after-free on vp_vdpa_remove
When vp_vdpa driver is unbind, vp_vdpa is freed in vdpa_unregister_device
and then vp_vdpa->mdev.pci_dev is dereferenced in vp_modern_remove,
triggering use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost: fix hung thread due to erroneous iotlb entries
In vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx(), range size can overflow to 0 when
start is 0 and last is ULONG_MAX. One instance where it can happen
is when userspace sends an IOTLB message with iova=size=uaddr=0
(vhost_process_iotlb_msg). So, an entry with size = 0, start = 0,
last = ULONG_MAX ends up in the iotlb. Next time a packet is sent,
iotlb_access_ok() loops indefinitely due to that erroneous entry.
Call Trace:

Reported by syzbot at:
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=0abd373e2e50d704db87
To fix this, do two things:
1. Return -EINVAL in vhost_chr_write_iter() when userspace asks to map
a range with size 0.
2. Fix vhost_iotlb_add_range_ctx() to handle the range [0, ULONG_MAX]
by splitting it into two entries.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mISDN: Fix memory leak in dsp_pipeline_build()
dsp_pipeline_build() allocates dup pointer by kstrdup(cfg),
but then it updates dup variable by strsep(&dup, "|").
As a result when it calls kfree(dup), the dup variable contains NULL.
Found by Linux Driver Verification project (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa/mlx5: add validation for VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET command
When control vq receives a VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_MQ_VQ_PAIRS_SET command
request from the driver, presently there is no validation against the
number of queue pairs to configure, or even if multiqueue had been
negotiated or not is unverified. This may lead to kernel panic due to
uninitialized resource for the queues were there any bogus request
sent down by untrusted driver. Tie up the loose ends there.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: fix kernel panic when enabling bearer
When enabling a bearer on a node, a kernel panic is observed:

Monitoring pointer in thread 2 is dereferenced before monitoring data
is allocated in thread 1. This causes kernel panic.
This commit fixes it by allocating the monitoring data before enabling
the bearer to receive messages.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: hid-thrustmaster: fix OOB read in thrustmaster_interrupts
Syzbot reported an slab-out-of-bounds Read in thrustmaster_probe() bug.
The root case is in missing validation check of actual number of endpoints.
Code should not blindly access usb_host_interface::endpoint array, since
it may contain less endpoints than code expects.
Fix it by adding missing validaion check and print an error if
number of endpoints do not match expected number
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the affected products which could allow a malicious user with basic privileges to access functions which should only be available to users with administrative level privileges. If exploited, an attacker could read sensitive data, and create users. For example, a malicious user with basic privileges could perform critical functions such as creating a user with elevated privileges and reading sensitive information in the “views” section.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing/osnoise: Do not unregister events twice
Nicolas reported that using:
# trace-cmd record -e all -M 10 -p osnoise --poll
Resulted in the following kernel warning:

---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---
The warning complains about an attempt to unregister an
unregistered tracepoint.
This happens on trace-cmd because it first stops tracing, and
then switches the tracer to nop. Which is equivalent to:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing/
# echo osnoise > current_tracer
# echo 0 > tracing_on
# echo nop > current_tracer
The osnoise tracer stops the workload when no trace instance
is actually collecting data. This can be caused both by
disabling tracing or disabling the tracer itself.
To avoid unregistering events twice, use the existing
trace_osnoise_callback_enabled variable to check if the events
(and the workload) are actually active before trying to
deactivate them.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: bypass tiling flag check in virtual display case (v2)
vkms leverages common amdgpu framebuffer creation, and
also as it does not support FB modifier, there is no need
to check tiling flags when initing framebuffer when virtual
display is enabled.
This can fix below calltrace:
amdgpu 0000:00:08.0: GFX9+ requires FB check based on format modifier
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1023 at drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_display.c:1150 amdgpu_display_framebuffer_init+0x8e7/0xb40 [amdgpu]
v2: check adev->enable_virtual_display instead as vkms can be
enabled in bare metal as well.
