Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mptcp: ensure snd_una is properly initialized on connect
This is strictly related to commit fb7a0d334894 ("mptcp: ensure snd_nxt
is properly initialized on connect"). It turns out that syzkaller can
trigger the retransmit after fallback and before processing any other
incoming packet - so that snd_una is still left uninitialized.
Address the issue explicitly initializing snd_una together with snd_nxt
and write_seq.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/exynos/vidi: fix memory leak in .get_modes()
The duplicated EDID is never freed. Fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: temperature: mlx90635: Fix ERR_PTR dereference in mlx90635_probe()
When devm_regmap_init_i2c() fails, regmap_ee could be error pointer,
instead of checking for IS_ERR(regmap_ee), regmap is checked which looks
like a copy paste error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
HID: logitech-dj: Fix memory leak in logi_dj_recv_switch_to_dj_mode()
Fix a memory leak on logi_dj_recv_send_report() error path.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix a potential use-after-free in bpf_link_free()
After commit 1a80dbcb2dba, bpf_link can be freed by
link->ops->dealloc_deferred, but the code still tests and uses
link->ops->dealloc afterward, which leads to a use-after-free as
reported by syzbot. Actually, one of them should be sufficient, so
just call one of them instead of both. Also add a WARN_ON() in case
of any problematic implementation.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ax25: Fix refcount imbalance on inbound connections
When releasing a socket in ax25_release(), we call netdev_put() to
decrease the refcount on the associated ax.25 device. However, the
execution path for accepting an incoming connection never calls
netdev_hold(). This imbalance leads to refcount errors, and ultimately
to kernel crashes.
A typical call trace for the above situation will start with one of the
following errors:
refcount_t: decrement hit 0; leaking memory.
refcount_t: underflow; use-after-free.
And will then have a trace like:
Call Trace:

On reboot (or any attempt to remove the interface), the kernel gets
stuck in an infinite loop:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for ax0 to become free. Usage count = 0
This patch corrects these issues by ensuring that we call netdev_hold()
and ax25_dev_hold() for new connections in ax25_accept(). This makes the
logic leading to ax25_accept() match the logic for ax25_bind(): in both
cases we increment the refcount, which is ultimately decremented in
ax25_release().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: Lock wiphy in cfg80211_get_station
Wiphy should be locked before calling rdev_get_station() (see lockdep
assert in ieee80211_get_station()).
This fixes the following kernel NULL dereference:

This happens because STA has time to disconnect and reconnect before
batadv_v_elp_throughput_metric_update() delayed work gets scheduled. In
this situation, ath10k_sta_state() can be in the middle of resetting
arsta data when the work queue get chance to be scheduled and ends up
accessing it. Locking wiphy prevents that.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mac80211: Fix deadlock in ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup()
The ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() function takes sta->ps_lock to
synchronizes with ieee80211_tx_h_unicast_ps_buf() which is called from
softirq context. However using only spin_lock() to get sta->ps_lock in
ieee80211_sta_ps_deliver_wakeup() does not prevent softirq to execute
on this same CPU, to run ieee80211_tx_h_unicast_ps_buf() and try to
take this same lock ending in deadlock. Below is an example of rcu stall
that arises in such situation.

Using spin_lock_bh()/spin_unlock_bh() instead prevents softirq to raise
on the same CPU that is holding the lock.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bnxt_en: Adjust logging of firmware messages in case of released token in __hwrm_send()
In case of token is released due to token->state == BNXT_HWRM_DEFERRED,
released token (set to NULL) is used in log messages. This issue is
expected to be prevented by HWRM_ERR_CODE_PF_UNAVAILABLE error code. But
this error code is returned by recent firmware. So some firmware may not
return it. This may lead to NULL pointer dereference.
Adjust this issue by adding token pointer check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix kernel crash problem in concurrent scenario
When link status change, the nic driver need to notify the roce
driver to handle this event, but at this time, the roce driver
may uninit, then cause kernel crash.
To fix the problem, when link status change, need to check
whether the roce registered, and when uninit, need to wait link
update finish.
