Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftruncate: pass a signed offset
The old ftruncate() syscall, using the 32-bit off_t misses a sign
extension when called in compat mode on 64-bit architectures. As a
result, passing a negative length accidentally succeeds in truncating
to file size between 2GiB and 4GiB.
Changing the type of the compat syscall to the signed compat_off_t
changes the behavior so it instead returns -EINVAL.
The native entry point, the truncate() syscall and the corresponding
loff_t based variants are all correct already and do not suffer
from this mistake.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: dwc3: core: remove lock of otg mode during gadget suspend/resume to avoid deadlock
When config CONFIG_USB_DWC3_DUAL_ROLE is selected, and trigger system
to enter suspend status with below command:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
There will be a deadlock issue occurring. Detailed invoking path as
below:
dwc3_suspend_common()
spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags); <-- 1st
dwc3_gadget_suspend(dwc);
dwc3_gadget_soft_disconnect(dwc);
spin_lock_irqsave(&dwc->lock, flags); <-- 2nd
This issue is exposed by commit c7ebd8149ee5 ("usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix
NULL pointer dereference in dwc3_gadget_suspend") that removes the code
of checking whether dwc->gadget_driver is NULL or not. It causes the
following code is executed and deadlock occurs when trying to get the
spinlock. In fact, the root cause is the commit 5265397f9442("usb: dwc3:
Remove DWC3 locking during gadget suspend/resume") that forgot to remove
the lock of otg mode. So, remove the redundant lock of otg mode during
gadget suspend/resume.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: chemical: bme680: Fix overflows in compensate() functions
There are cases in the compensate functions of the driver that
there could be overflows of variables due to bit shifting ops.
These implications were initially discussed here [1] and they
were mentioned in log message of Commit 1b3bd8592780 ("iio:
chemical: Add support for Bosch BME680 sensor").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/panel: ilitek-ili9881c: Fix warning with GPIO controllers that sleep
The ilitek-ili9881c controls the reset GPIO using the non-sleeping
gpiod_set_value() function. This complains loudly when the GPIO
controller needs to sleep. As the caller can sleep, use
gpiod_set_value_cansleep() to fix the issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: mediatek: mt8195: Add platform entry for ETDM1_OUT_BE dai link
Commit e70b8dd26711 ("ASoC: mediatek: mt8195: Remove afe-dai component
and rework codec link") removed the codec entry for the ETDM1_OUT_BE
dai link entirely instead of replacing it with COMP_EMPTY(). This worked
by accident as the remaining COMP_EMPTY() platform entry became the codec
entry, and the platform entry became completely empty, effectively the
same as COMP_DUMMY() since snd_soc_fill_dummy_dai() doesn't do anything
for platform entries.
This causes a KASAN out-of-bounds warning in mtk_soundcard_common_probe()
in sound/soc/mediatek/common/mtk-soundcard-driver.c:
for_each_card_prelinks(card, i, dai_link) {
if (adsp_node && !strncmp(dai_link->name, "AFE_SOF", strlen("AFE_SOF")))
dai_link->platforms->of_node = adsp_node;
else if (!dai_link->platforms->name && !dai_link->platforms->of_node)
dai_link->platforms->of_node = platform_node;
}
where the code expects the platforms array to have space for at least one entry.
Add an COMP_EMPTY() entry so that dai_link->platforms has space.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl-asoc-card: set priv->pdev before using it
priv->pdev pointer was set after being used in
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init().
Move this assignment at the start of the probe function, so
sub-functions can correctly use pdev through priv.
fsl_asoc_card_audmux_init() dereferences priv->pdev to get access to the
dev struct, used with dev_err macros.
As priv is zero-initialised, there would be a NULL pointer dereference.
Note that if priv->dev is dereferenced before assignment but never used,
for example if there is no error to be printed, the driver won't crash
probably due to compiler optimisations.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER
In create_pinctrl(), pinctrl_maps_mutex is acquired before calling
add_setting(). If add_setting() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, create_pinctrl()
calls pinctrl_free(). However, pinctrl_free() attempts to acquire
pinctrl_maps_mutex, which is already held by create_pinctrl(), leading to
a potential deadlock.
This patch resolves the issue by releasing pinctrl_maps_mutex before
calling pinctrl_free(), preventing the deadlock.
This bug was discovered and resolved using Coverity Static Analysis
Security Testing (SAST) by Synopsys, Inc.
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Tenda AC10 v4 US_AC10V4.0si_V16.03.10.20_cn allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code via the Virtual_Data_Check function in the bin/httpd component.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ocfs2: fix DIO failure due to insufficient transaction credits
The code in ocfs2_dio_end_io_write() estimates number of necessary
transaction credits using ocfs2_calc_extend_credits(). This however does
not take into account that the IO could be arbitrarily large and can
contain arbitrary number of extents.
Extent tree manipulations do often extend the current transaction but not
in all of the cases. For example if we have only single block extents in
the tree, ocfs2_mark_extent_written() will end up calling
ocfs2_replace_extent_rec() all the time and we will never extend the
current transaction and eventually exhaust all the transaction credits if
the IO contains many single block extents. Once that happens a
WARN_ON(jbd2_handle_buffer_credits(handle) <= 0) is triggered in
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() and subsequently OCFS2 aborts in response to
this error. This was actually triggered by one of our customers on a
heavily fragmented OCFS2 filesystem.
To fix the issue make sure the transaction always has enough credits for
one extent insert before each call of ocfs2_mark_extent_written().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: initialise nfsd_info.mutex early.
nfsd_info.mutex can be dereferenced by svc_pool_stats_start()
immediately after the new netns is created. Currently this can
trigger an oops.
Move the initialisation earlier before it can possibly be dereferenced.
