Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: ASSERT when failing to find index by plane/stream id
[WHY]
find_disp_cfg_idx_by_plane_id and find_disp_cfg_idx_by_stream_id returns
an array index and they return -1 when not found; however, -1 is not a
valid index number.
[HOW]
When this happens, call ASSERT(), and return a positive number (which is
fewer than callers' array size) instead.
This fixes 4 OVERRUN and 2 NEGATIVE_RETURNS issues reported by Coverity.

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.

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:

[ 1.215717] LR [c0000000000461a0] machine_check_early+0xf0/0x2c0
[ 1.215719] --- interrupt: 200
[ 1.215720] [c000000fffd73180] [0000000000000000] 0x0 (unreliable)

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