Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net-sysfs: add check for netdevice being present to speed_show
When bringing down the netdevice or system shutdown, a panic can be
triggered while accessing the sysfs path because the device is already
removed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
staging: gdm724x: fix use after free in gdm_lte_rx()
The netif_rx_ni() function frees the skb so we can't dereference it to
save the skb->len.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vc4: hdmi: Unregister codec device on unbind
On bind we will register the HDMI codec device but we don't unregister
it on unbind, leading to a device leakage. Unregister our device at
unbind.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
swiotlb: fix info leak with DMA_FROM_DEVICE
The problem I'm addressing was discovered by the LTP test covering
cve-2018-1000204.
A short description of what happens follows:
1) The test case issues a command code 00 (TEST UNIT READY) via the SG_IO
interface with: dxfer_len == 524288, dxdfer_dir == SG_DXFER_FROM_DEV
and a corresponding dxferp. The peculiar thing about this is that TUR
is not reading from the device.
2) In sg_start_req() the invocation of blk_rq_map_user() effectively
bounces the user-space buffer. As if the device was to transfer into
it. Since commit a45b599ad808 ("scsi: sg: allocate with __GFP_ZERO in
sg_build_indirect()") we make sure this first bounce buffer is
allocated with GFP_ZERO.
3) For the rest of the story we keep ignoring that we have a TUR, so the
device won't touch the buffer we prepare as if the we had a
DMA_FROM_DEVICE type of situation. My setup uses a virtio-scsi device
and the buffer allocated by SG is mapped by the function
virtqueue_add_split() which uses DMA_FROM_DEVICE for the "in" sgs (here
scatter-gather and not scsi generics). This mapping involves bouncing
via the swiotlb (we need swiotlb to do virtio in protected guest like
s390 Secure Execution, or AMD SEV).
4) When the SCSI TUR is done, we first copy back the content of the second
(that is swiotlb) bounce buffer (which most likely contains some
previous IO data), to the first bounce buffer, which contains all
zeros. Then we copy back the content of the first bounce buffer to
the user-space buffer.
5) The test case detects that the buffer, which it zero-initialized,
ain't all zeros and fails.
One can argue that this is an swiotlb problem, because without swiotlb
we leak all zeros, and the swiotlb should be transparent in a sense that
it does not affect the outcome (if all other participants are well
behaved).
Copying the content of the original buffer into the swiotlb buffer is
the only way I can think of to make swiotlb transparent in such
scenarios. So let's do just that if in doubt, but allow the driver
to tell us that the whole mapped buffer is going to be overwritten,
in which case we can preserve the old behavior and avoid the performance
impact of the extra bounce.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: arc_emac: Fix use after free in arc_mdio_probe()
If bus->state is equal to MDIOBUS_ALLOCATED, mdiobus_free(bus) will free
the "bus". But bus->name is still used in the next line, which will lead
to a use after free.
We can fix it by putting the name in a local variable and make the
bus->name point to the rodata section "name",then use the name in the
error message without referring to bus to avoid the uaf.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sctp: fix kernel-infoleak for SCTP sockets
syzbot reported a kernel infoleak [1] of 4 bytes.
After analysis, it turned out r->idiag_expires is not initialized
if inet_sctp_diag_fill() calls inet_diag_msg_common_fill()
Make sure to clear idiag_timer/idiag_retrans/idiag_expires
and let inet_diag_msg_sctpasoc_fill() fill them again if needed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFC: port100: fix use-after-free in port100_send_complete
Syzbot reported UAF in port100_send_complete(). The root case is in
missing usb_kill_urb() calls on error handling path of ->probe function.
port100_send_complete() accesses devm allocated memory which will be
freed on probe failure. We should kill this urbs before returning an
error from probe function to prevent reported use-after-free

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix a race on command flush flow
Fix a refcount use after free warning due to a race on command entry.
Such race occurs when one of the commands releases its last refcount and
frees its index and entry while another process running command flush
flow takes refcount to this command entry. The process which handles
commands flush may see this command as needed to be flushed if the other
process released its refcount but didn't release the index yet. Fix it
by adding the needed spin lock.
It fixes the following warning trace:
refcount_t: addition on 0; use-after-free.
