Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In July 2024
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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
platform/x86: toshiba_acpi: Fix array out-of-bounds access
In order to use toshiba_dmi_quirks[] together with the standard DMI
matching functions, it must be terminated by a empty entry.
Since this entry is missing, an array out-of-bounds access occurs
every time the quirk list is processed.
Fix this by adding the terminating empty entry.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmem: core: limit cell sysfs permissions to main attribute ones
The cell sysfs attribute should not provide more access to the nvmem
data than the main attribute itself.
For example if nvme_config::root_only was set, the cell attribute
would still provide read access to everybody.
Mask out permissions not available on the main attribute.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ksmbd: discard write access to the directory open
may_open() does not allow a directory to be opened with the write access.
However, some writing flags set by client result in adding write access
on server, making ksmbd incompatible with FUSE file system. Simply, let's
discard the write access when opening a directory.
list_add corruption. next is NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/filemap: skip to create PMD-sized page cache if needed
On ARM64, HPAGE_PMD_ORDER is 13 when the base page size is 64KB. The
PMD-sized page cache can't be supported by xarray as the following error
messages indicate.

Fix it by skipping to allocate PMD-sized page cache when its size is
larger than MAX_PAGECACHE_ORDER. For this specific case, we will fall to
regular path where the readahead window is determined by BDI's sysfs file
(read_ahead_kb).

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: vmalloc: check if a hash-index is in cpu_possible_mask
The problem is that there are systems where cpu_possible_mask has gaps
between set CPUs, for example SPARC. In this scenario addr_to_vb_xa()
hash function can return an index which accesses to not-possible and not
setup CPU area using per_cpu() macro. This results in an oops on SPARC.
A per-cpu vmap_block_queue is also used as hash table, incorrectly
assuming the cpu_possible_mask has no gaps. Fix it by adjusting an index
to a next possible CPU.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cachestat: do not flush stats in recency check
syzbot detects that cachestat() is flushing stats, which can sleep, in its
RCU read section (see [1]). This is done in the workingset_test_recent()
step (which checks if the folio's eviction is recent).
Move the stat flushing step to before the RCU read section of cachestat,
and skip stat flushing during the recency check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix kernel bug on rename operation of broken directory
Syzbot reported that in rename directory operation on broken directory on
nilfs2, __block_write_begin_int() called to prepare block write may fail
BUG_ON check for access exceeding the folio/page size.
This is because nilfs_dotdot(), which gets parent directory reference
entry ("..") of the directory to be moved or renamed, does not check
consistency enough, and may return location exceeding folio/page size for
broken directories.
Fix this issue by checking required directory entries ("." and "..") in
the first chunk of the directory in nilfs_dotdot().

Admidio is a free, open source user management system for websites of organizations and groups. In Admidio before version 4.3.9, there is an SQL Injection in the `/adm_program/modules/ecards/ecard_send.php` source file of the Admidio Application. The SQL Injection results in a compromise of the application's database. The value of `ecard_recipients `POST parameter is being directly concatenated with the SQL query in the source code causing the SQL Injection. The SQL Injection can be exploited by a member user, using blind condition-based, time-based, and Out of band interaction SQL Injection payloads. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.3.9.

Admidio is a free, open source user management system for websites of organizations and groups. In Admidio before version 4.3.10, there is a Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in the Message module of the Admidio Application, where it is possible to upload a PHP file in the attachment. The uploaded file can be accessed publicly through the URL `{admidio_base_url}/adm_my_files/messages_attachments/{file_name}`. The vulnerability is caused due to the lack of file extension verification, allowing malicious files to be uploaded to the server and public availability of the uploaded file. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.3.10.
