Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme: avoid double free special payload
If a discard request needs to be retried, and that retry may fail before
a new special payload is added, a double free will result. Clear the
RQF_SPECIAL_LOAD when the request is cleaned.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: Set object to close if ondemand_id < 0 in copen
If copen is maliciously called in the user mode, it may delete the request
corresponding to the random id. And the request may have not been read yet.
Note that when the object is set to reopen, the open request will be done
with the still reopen state in above case. As a result, the request
corresponding to this object is always skipped in select_req function, so
the read request is never completed and blocks other process.
Fix this issue by simply set object to close if its id < 0 in copen.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachefiles: add consistency check for copen/cread
This prevents malicious processes from completing random copen/cread
requests and crashing the system. Added checks are listed below:
* Generic, copen can only complete open requests, and cread can only
complete read requests.
* For copen, ondemand_id must not be 0, because this indicates that the
request has not been read by the daemon.
* For cread, the object corresponding to fd and req should be the same.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
null_blk: fix validation of block size
Block size should be between 512 and PAGE_SIZE and be a power of 2. The current
check does not validate this, so update the check.
Without this patch, null_blk would Oops due to a null pointer deref when
loaded with bs=1536 [1].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: qgroup: fix quota root leak after quota disable failure
If during the quota disable we fail when cleaning the quota tree or when
deleting the root from the root tree, we jump to the 'out' label without
ever dropping the reference on the quota root, resulting in a leak of the
root since fs_info->quota_root is no longer pointing to the root (we have
set it to NULL just before those steps).
Fix this by always doing a btrfs_put_root() call under the 'out' label.
This is a problem that exists since qgroups were first added in 2012 by
commit bed92eae26cc ("Btrfs: qgroup implementation and prototypes"), but
back then we missed a kfree on the quota root and free_extent_buffer()
calls on its root and commit root nodes, since back then roots were not
yet reference counted.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet: always initialize cqe.result
The spec doesn't mandate that the first two double words (aka results)
for the command queue entry need to be set to 0 when they are not
used (not specified). Though, the target implemention returns 0 for TCP
and FC but not for RDMA.
Let's make RDMA behave the same and thus explicitly initializing the
result field. This prevents leaking any data from the stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
io_uring: fix possible deadlock in io_register_iowq_max_workers()
The io_register_iowq_max_workers() function calls io_put_sq_data(),
which acquires the sqd->lock without releasing the uring_lock.
Similar to the commit 009ad9f0c6ee ("io_uring: drop ctx->uring_lock
before acquiring sqd->lock"), this can lead to a potential deadlock
situation.
To resolve this issue, the uring_lock is released before calling
io_put_sq_data(), and then it is re-acquired after the function call.
This change ensures that the locks are acquired in the correct
order, preventing the possibility of a deadlock.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ila: block BH in ila_output()
As explained in commit 1378817486d6 ("tipc: block BH
before using dst_cache"), net/core/dst_cache.c
helpers need to be called with BH disabled.
ila_output() is called from lwtunnel_output()
possibly from process context, and under rcu_read_lock().
We might be interrupted by a softirq, re-enter ila_output()
and corrupt dst_cache data structures.
Fix the race by using local_bh_disable().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-fabrics: use reserved tag for reg read/write command
In some scenarios, if too many commands are issued by nvme command in
the same time by user tasks, this may exhaust all tags of admin_q. If
a reset (nvme reset or IO timeout) occurs before these commands finish,
reconnect routine may fail to update nvme regs due to insufficient tags,
which will cause kernel hang forever. In order to workaround this issue,
maybe we can let reg_read32()/reg_read64()/reg_write32() use reserved
tags. This maybe safe for nvmf:
1. For the disable ctrl path, we will not issue connect command
2. For the enable ctrl / fw activate path, since connect and reg_xx()
are called serially.
So the reserved tags may still be enough while reg_xx() use reserved tags.
