Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udp: Set SOCK_RCU_FREE earlier in udp_lib_get_port().
syzkaller triggered the warning [0] in udp_v4_early_demux().
In udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), we do not touch the refcount
of the looked-up sk and use sock_pfree() as skb->destructor, so we check
SOCK_RCU_FREE to ensure that the sk is safe to access during the RCU grace
period.
Currently, SOCK_RCU_FREE is flagged for a bound socket after being put
into the hash table. Moreover, the SOCK_RCU_FREE check is done too early
in udp_v[46]_early_demux() and sk_lookup(), so there could be a small race
window:

We had the same bug in TCP and fixed it in commit 871019b22d1b ("net:
set SOCK_RCU_FREE before inserting socket into hashtable").
Let's apply the same fix for UDP.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: prefer nft_chain_validate
nft_chain_validate already performs loop detection because a cycle will
result in a call stack overflow (ctx->level >= NFT_JUMP_STACK_SIZE).
It also follows maps via ->validate callback in nft_lookup, so there
appears no reason to iterate the maps again.
nf_tables_check_loops() and all its helper functions can be removed.
This improves ruleset load time significantly, from 23s down to 12s.
This also fixes a crash bug. Old loop detection code can result in
unbounded recursion:
BUG: TASK stack guard page was hit at ....
Oops: stack guard page: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN
CPU: 4 PID: 1539 Comm: nft Not tainted 6.10.0-rc5+ #1
[..]
with a suitable ruleset during validation of register stores.
I can't see any actual reason to attempt to check for this from
nft_validate_register_store(), at this point the transaction is still in
progress, so we don't have a full picture of the rule graph.
For nf-next it might make sense to either remove it or make this depend
on table->validate_state in case we could catch an error earlier
(for improved error reporting to userspace).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nfnetlink_queue: drop bogus WARN_ON
Happens when rules get flushed/deleted while packet is out, so remove
this WARN_ON.
This WARN exists in one form or another since v4.14, no need to backport
this to older releases, hence use a more recent fixes tag.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ppp: reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed packets
Since 'ppp_async_encode()' assumes valid LCP packets (with code
from 1 to 7 inclusive), add 'ppp_check_packet()' to ensure that
LCP packet has an actual body beyond PPP_LCP header bytes, and
reject claimed-as-LCP but actually malformed data otherwise.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Defer work in bpf_timer_cancel_and_free
Currently, the same case as previous patch (two timer callbacks trying
to cancel each other) can be invoked through bpf_map_update_elem as
well, or more precisely, freeing map elements containing timers. Since
this relies on hrtimer_cancel as well, it is prone to the same deadlock
situation as the previous patch.
It would be sufficient to use hrtimer_try_to_cancel to fix this problem,
as the timer cannot be enqueued after async_cancel_and_free. Once
async_cancel_and_free has been done, the timer must be reinitialized
before it can be armed again. The callback running in parallel trying to
arm the timer will fail, and freeing bpf_hrtimer without waiting is
sufficient (given kfree_rcu), and bpf_timer_cb will return
HRTIMER_NORESTART, preventing the timer from being rearmed again.
However, there exists a UAF scenario where the callback arms the timer
before entering this function, such that if cancellation fails (due to
timer callback invoking this routine, or the target timer callback
running concurrently). In such a case, if the timer expiration is
significantly far in the future, the RCU grace period expiration
happening before it will free the bpf_hrtimer state and along with it
the struct hrtimer, that is enqueued.
Hence, it is clear cancellation needs to occur after
async_cancel_and_free, and yet it cannot be done inline due to deadlock
issues. We thus modify bpf_timer_cancel_and_free to defer work to the
global workqueue, adding a work_struct alongside rcu_head (both used at
_different_ points of time, so can share space).
Update existing code comments to reflect the new state of affairs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ethernet: lantiq_etop: fix double free in detach
The number of the currently released descriptor is never incremented
which results in the same skb being released multiple times.

The issue occurs in start_dl_timer(), which increments the task_struct
reference count and sets a timer. The timer callback, dl_task_timer,
is supposed to decrement the reference count upon expiration. However,
if enqueue_task_dl() is called before the timer expires and cancels it,
the reference count is not decremented, leading to the leak.
This patch fixes the reference leak by ensuring the task_struct
reference count is properly decremented when the timer is canceled.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Fix userfaultfd_api to return EINVAL as expected
Currently if we request a feature that is not set in the Kernel config we
fail silently and return all the available features. However, the man
page indicates we should return an EINVAL.
We need to fix this issue since we can end up with a Kernel warning should
a program request the feature UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED on a kernel with
the config not set with this feature.
