Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gve: Account for stopped queues when reading NIC stats
We now account for the fact that the NIC might send us stats for a
subset of queues. Without this change, gve_get_ethtool_stats might make
an invalid access on the priv->stats_report->stats array.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: dvb-frontends: tda10048: Fix integer overflow
state->xtal_hz can be up to 16M, so it can overflow a 32 bit integer
when multiplied by pll_mfactor.
Create a new 64 bit variable to hold the calculations.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Correct check for empty list
Since commit a3c53be55c95 ("net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Support multiple MDIO
busses") mv88e6xxx_default_mdio_bus() has checked that the
return value of list_first_entry() is non-NULL.
This appears to be intended to guard against the list chip->mdios being
empty. However, it is not the correct check as the implementation of
list_first_entry is not designed to return NULL for empty lists.
Instead, use list_first_entry_or_null() which does return NULL if the
list is empty.
Flagged by Smatch.
Compile tested only.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: mt76: replace skb_put with skb_put_zero
Avoid potentially reusing uninitialized data
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix overlapping copy within dml_core_mode_programming
[WHY]
&mode_lib->mp.Watermark and &locals->Watermark are
the same address. memcpy may lead to unexpected behavior.
[HOW]
memmove should be used.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: Using uninitialized value *size when calling amdgpu_vce_cs_reloc
Initialize the size before calling amdgpu_vce_cs_reloc, such as case 0x03000001.
V2: To really improve the handling we would actually
need to have a separate value of 0xffffffff.(Christian)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
thermal/drivers/mediatek/lvts_thermal: Check NULL ptr on lvts_data
Verify that lvts_data is not NULL before using it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
IB/core: Implement a limit on UMAD receive List
The existing behavior of ib_umad, which maintains received MAD
packets in an unbounded list, poses a risk of uncontrolled growth.
As user-space applications extract packets from this list, the rate
of extraction may not match the rate of incoming packets, leading
to potential list overflow.
To address this, we introduce a limit to the size of the list. After
considering typical scenarios, such as OpenSM processing, which can
handle approximately 100k packets per second, and the 1-second retry
timeout for most packets, we set the list size limit to 200k. Packets
received beyond this limit are dropped, assuming they are likely timed
out by the time they are handled by user-space.
Notably, packets queued on the receive list due to reasons like
timed-out sends are preserved even when the list is full.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Add outer runtime_pm protection to xe_live_ktest@xe_dma_buf
Any kunit doing any memory access should get their own runtime_pm
outer references since they don't use the standard driver API
entries. In special this dma_buf from the same driver.
Found by pre-merge CI on adding WARN calls for unprotected
inner callers:
<6> [318.639739] # xe_dma_buf_kunit: running xe_test_dmabuf_import_same_driver
<4> [318.639957] ------------[ cut here ]------------
<4> [318.639967] xe 0000:4d:00.0: Missing outer runtime PM protection
<4> [318.640049] WARNING: CPU: 117 PID: 3832 at drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_pm.c:533 xe_pm_runtime_get_noresume+0x48/0x60 [xe]
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: hisilicon/debugfs - Fix debugfs uninit process issue
During the zip probe process, the debugfs failure does not stop
the probe. When debugfs initialization fails, jumping to the
error branch will also release regs, in addition to its own
rollback operation.
As a result, it may be released repeatedly during the regs
uninit process. Therefore, the null check needs to be added to
the regs uninit process.
