Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: aead,cipher - zeroize key buffer after use
I.G 9.7.B for FIPS 140-3 specifies that variables temporarily holding
cryptographic information should be zeroized once they are no longer
needed. Accomplish this by using kfree_sensitive for buffers that
previously held the private key.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: Fix scv instruction crash with kexec
kexec on pseries disables AIL (reloc_on_exc), required for scv
instruction support, before other CPUs have been shut down. This means
they can execute scv instructions after AIL is disabled, which causes an
interrupt at an unexpected entry location that crashes the kernel.
Change the kexec sequence to disable AIL after other CPUs have been
brought down.
As a refresher, the real-mode scv interrupt vector is 0x17000, and the
fixed-location head code probably couldn't easily deal with implementing
such high addresses so it was just decided not to support that interrupt
at all.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: zoned: fix calc_available_free_space() for zoned mode
calc_available_free_space() returns the total size of metadata (or
system) block groups, which can be allocated from unallocated disk
space. The logic is wrong on zoned mode in two places.
First, the calculation of data_chunk_size is wrong. We always allocate
one zone as one chunk, and no partial allocation of a zone. So, we
should use zone_size (= data_sinfo->chunk_size) as it is.
Second, the result "avail" may not be zone aligned. Since we always
allocate one zone as one chunk on zoned mode, returning non-zone size
aligned bytes will result in less pressure on the async metadata reclaim
process.
This is serious for the nearly full state with a large zone size device.
Allowing over-commit too much will result in less async reclaim work and
end up in ENOSPC. We can align down to the zone size to avoid that.
A vulnerability has been found in SourceCodester Lot Reservation Management System 1.0 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file /view_model.php. The manipulation of the argument id leads to sql injection. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-272803.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/pkey: Wipe copies of protected- and secure-keys
Although the clear-key of neither protected- nor secure-keys is
accessible, this key material should only be visible to the calling
process. So wipe all copies of protected- or secure-keys from stack,
even in case of an error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/pkey: Wipe copies of clear-key structures on failure
Wipe all sensitive data from stack for all IOCTLs, which convert a
clear-key into a protected- or secure-key.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/pkey: Wipe sensitive data on failure
Wipe sensitive data from stack also if the copy_to_user() fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/pkey: Use kfree_sensitive() to fix Coccinelle warnings
Replace memzero_explicit() and kfree() with kfree_sensitive() to fix
warnings reported by Coccinelle:
WARNING opportunity for kfree_sensitive/kvfree_sensitive (line 1506)
WARNING opportunity for kfree_sensitive/kvfree_sensitive (line 1643)
WARNING opportunity for kfree_sensitive/kvfree_sensitive (line 1770)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: mpi3mr: Sanitise num_phys
Information is stored in mr_sas_port->phy_mask, values larger then size of
this field shouldn't be allowed.
