Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Do not return negative stream id for array
[WHY]
resource_stream_to_stream_idx returns an array index and it return -1
when not found; however, -1 is not a valid array index number.
[HOW]
When this happens, call ASSERT(), and return a zero instead.
This fixes an OVERRUN and an NEGATIVE_RETURNS issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Skip finding free audio for unknown engine_id
[WHY]
ENGINE_ID_UNKNOWN = -1 and can not be used as an array index. Plus, it
also means it is uninitialized and does not need free audio.
[HOW]
Skip and return NULL.
This fixes 2 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check pipe offset before setting vblank
pipe_ctx has a size of MAX_PIPES so checking its index before accessing
the array.
This fixes an OVERRUN issue reported by Coverity.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check index msg_id before read or write
[WHAT]
msg_id is used as an array index and it cannot be a negative value, and
therefore cannot be equal to MOD_HDCP_MESSAGE_ID_INVALID (-1).
[HOW]
Check whether msg_id is valid before reading and setting.
This fixes 4 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.

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:
scsi: qedf: Make qedf_execute_tmf() non-preemptible
Stop calling smp_processor_id() from preemptible code in
qedf_execute_tmf90. This results in BUG_ON() when running an RT kernel.
[ 659.343280] BUG: using smp_processor_id() in preemptible [00000000] code: sg_reset/3646
[ 659.343282] caller is qedf_execute_tmf+0x8b/0x360 [qedf]

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: rtw89: fw: scan offload prohibit all 6 GHz channel if no 6 GHz sband
We have some policy via BIOS to block uses of 6 GHz. In this case, 6 GHz
sband will be NULL even if it is WiFi 7 chip. So, add NULL handling here
to avoid crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc: Avoid nmi_enter/nmi_exit in real mode interrupt.
nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() touches per cpu variables which can lead to kernel
crash when invoked during real mode interrupt handling (e.g. early HMI/MCE
interrupt handler) if percpu allocation comes from vmalloc area.
Early HMI/MCE handlers are called through DEFINE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER_NMI()
wrapper which invokes nmi_enter/nmi_exit calls. We don't see any issue when
percpu allocation is from the embedded first chunk. However with
CONFIG_NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK enabled there are chances where percpu
allocation can come from the vmalloc area.
With kernel command line "percpu_alloc=page" we can force percpu allocation
to come from vmalloc area and can see kernel crash in machine_check_early:
[ 1.215714] NIP [c000000000e49eb4] rcu_nmi_enter+0x24/0x110
[ 1.215717] LR [c0000000000461a0] machine_check_early+0xf0/0x2c0
[ 1.215719] --- interrupt: 200
[ 1.215720] [c000000fffd73180] [0000000000000000] 0x0 (unreliable)
[ 1.215722] [c000000fffd731b0] [0000000000000000] 0x0

Fix this by avoiding use of nmi_enter()/nmi_exit() in real mode if percpu
first chunk is not embedded.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/lima: fix shared irq handling on driver remove
lima uses a shared interrupt, so the interrupt handlers must be prepared
to be called at any time. At driver removal time, the clocks are
disabled early and the interrupts stay registered until the very end of
the remove process due to the devm usage.
This is potentially a bug as the interrupts access device registers
which assumes clocks are enabled. A crash can be triggered by removing
the driver in a kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ enabled.
This patch frees the interrupts at each lima device finishing callback
so that the handlers are already unregistered by the time we fully
disable clocks.
