Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: E-switch, Create ingress ACL when needed
Currently, ingress acl is used for three features. It is created only
when vport metadata match and prio tag are enabled. But active-backup
lag mode also uses it. It is independent of vport metadata match and
prio tag. And vport metadata match can be disabled using the
following devlink command:
# devlink dev param set pci/0000:08:00.0 name esw_port_metadata \
value false cmode runtime
If ingress acl is not created, will hit panic when creating drop rule
for active-backup lag mode. If always create it, there will be about
5% performance degradation.
Fix it by creating ingress acl when needed. If esw_port_metadata is
true, ingress acl exists, then create drop rule using existing
ingress acl. If esw_port_metadata is false, create ingress acl and
then create drop rule.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add NULL pointer check for kzalloc
[Why & How]
Check return pointer of kzalloc before using it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdgpu: fix double free err_addr pointer warnings
In amdgpu_umc_bad_page_polling_timeout, the amdgpu_umc_handle_bad_pages
will be run many times so that double free err_addr in some special case.
So set the err_addr to NULL to avoid the warnings.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
inet_diag: Initialize pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2
KMSAN reported uninit-value access in raw_lookup() [1]. Diag for raw
sockets uses the pad field in struct inet_diag_req_v2 for the
underlying protocol. This field corresponds to the sdiag_raw_protocol
field in struct inet_diag_req_raw.
inet_diag_get_exact_compat() converts inet_diag_req to
inet_diag_req_v2, but leaves the pad field uninitialized. So the issue
occurs when raw_lookup() accesses the sdiag_raw_protocol field.
Fix this by initializing the pad field in
inet_diag_get_exact_compat(). Also, do the same fix in
inet_diag_dump_compat() to avoid the similar issue in the future.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Don't process extts if PTP is disabled
The ice_ptp_extts_event() function can race with ice_ptp_release() and
result in a NULL pointer dereference which leads to a kernel panic.
Panic occurs because the ice_ptp_extts_event() function calls
ptp_clock_event() with a NULL pointer. The ice driver has already
released the PTP clock by the time the interrupt for the next external
timestamp event occurs.
To fix this, modify the ice_ptp_extts_event() function to check the
PTP state and bail early if PTP is not ready.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: rswitch: Avoid use-after-free in rswitch_poll()
The use-after-free is actually in rswitch_tx_free(), which is inlined in
rswitch_poll(). Since `skb` and `gq->skbs[gq->dirty]` are in fact the
same pointer, the skb is first freed using dev_kfree_skb_any(), then the
value in skb->len is used to update the interface statistics.
Let's move around the instructions to use skb->len before the skb is
freed.
This bug is trivial to reproduce using KFENCE. It will trigger a splat
every few packets. A simple ARP request or ICMP echo request is enough.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: unconditionally flush pending work before notifier
syzbot reports:

nf_tables_trans_destroy_work+0x152b/0x1750 net/netfilter/nf_tables_api.c:9597
Problem is that the notifier does a conditional flush, but its possible
that the table-to-be-removed is still referenced by transactions being
processed by the worker, so we need to flush unconditionally.
We could make the flush_work depend on whether we found a table to delete
in nf-next to avoid the flush for most cases.
AFAICS this problem is only exposed in nf-next, with
commit e169285f8c56 ("netfilter: nf_tables: do not store nft_ctx in transaction objects"),
with this commit applied there is an unconditional fetch of
table->family which is whats triggering the above splat.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: restrict NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM values
syzbot is able to trigger softlockups, setting NL80211_ATTR_TXQ_QUANTUM
to 2^31.
We had a similar issue in sch_fq, fixed with commit
d9e15a273306 ("pkt_sched: fq: do not accept silly TCA_FQ_QUANTUM")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: fix null pointer dereference in nouveau_connector_get_modes
In nouveau_connector_get_modes(), the return value of drm_mode_duplicate()
is assigned to mode, which will lead to a possible NULL pointer
dereference on failure of drm_mode_duplicate(). Add a check to avoid npd.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "mm/writeback: fix possible divide-by-zero in wb_dirty_limits(), again"
Patch series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling".
Dirty throttling logic assumes dirty limits in page units fit into
32-bits. This patch series makes sure this is true (see patch 2/2 for
more details).
This patch (of 2):
This reverts commit 9319b647902cbd5cc884ac08a8a6d54ce111fc78.
The commit is broken in several ways. Firstly, the removed (u64) cast
from the multiplication will introduce a multiplication overflow on 32-bit
archs if wb_thresh * bg_thresh >= 1<<32 (which is actually common - the
default settings with 4GB of RAM will trigger this). Secondly, the
div64_u64() is unnecessarily expensive on 32-bit archs. We have
div64_ul() in case we want to be safe & cheap. Thirdly, if dirty
thresholds are larger than 1<<32 pages, then dirty balancing is going to
blow up in many other spectacular ways anyway so trying to fix one
possible overflow is just moot.
