Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix invalid memory access while processing fragmented packets
The monitor ring and the reo reinject ring share the same ring mask index.
When the driver receives an interrupt for the reo reinject ring, the
monitor ring is also processed, leading to invalid memory access. Since
monitor support is not yet enabled in ath12k, the ring mask for the monitor
ring should be removed.
Tested-on: QCN9274 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.WBE.1.1.1-00209-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: missing check virtio
Two missing check in virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() allowed syzbot
to crash kernels again
1. After the skb_segment function the buffer may become non-linear
(nr_frags != 0), but since the SKBTX_SHARED_FRAG flag is not set anywhere
the __skb_linearize function will not be executed, then the buffer will
remain non-linear. Then the condition (offset >= skb_headlen(skb))
becomes true, which causes WARN_ON_ONCE in skb_checksum_help.
2. The struct sk_buff and struct virtio_net_hdr members must be
mathematically related.
(gso_size) must be greater than (needed) otherwise WARN_ON_ONCE.
(remainder) must be greater than (needed) otherwise WARN_ON_ONCE.
(remainder) may be 0 if division is without remainder.
offset+2 (4191) > skb_headlen() (1116)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: amd: Adjust error handling in case of absent codec device
acpi_get_first_physical_node() can return NULL in several cases (no such
device, ACPI table error, reference count drop to 0, etc).
Existing check just emit error message, but doesn't perform return.
Then this NULL pointer is passed to devm_acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios()
where it is dereferenced.
Adjust this error handling by adding error code return.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kvm: s390: Reject memory region operations for ucontrol VMs
This change rejects the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 ioctls when called on a ucontrol VM.
This is necessary since ucontrol VMs have kvm->arch.gmap set to 0 and
would thus result in a null pointer dereference further in.
Memory management needs to be performed in userspace and using the
ioctls KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP and KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP.
Also improve s390 specific documentation for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
and KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix a possible null pointer dereference
In function lpfc_xcvr_data_show, the memory allocation with kmalloc might
fail, thereby making rdp_context a null pointer. In the following context
and functions that use this pointer, there are dereferencing operations,
leading to null pointer dereference.
To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null,
use scnprintf to notify the user and return len.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoc: PCM6240: Return directly after a failed devm_kzalloc() in pcmdevice_i2c_probe()
The value “-ENOMEM” was assigned to the local variable “ret”
in one if branch after a devm_kzalloc() call failed at the beginning.
This error code will trigger then a pcmdevice_remove() call with a passed
null pointer so that an undesirable dereference will be performed.
Thus return the appropriate error code directly.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: keystone: Fix NULL pointer dereference in case of DT error in ks_pcie_setup_rc_app_regs()
If IORESOURCE_MEM is not provided in Device Tree due to
any error, resource_list_first_type() will return NULL and
pci_parse_request_of_pci_ranges() will just emit a warning.
This will cause a NULL pointer dereference. Fix this bug by adding NULL
return check.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: pci-epf-test: Make use of cached 'epc_features' in pci_epf_test_core_init()
Instead of getting the epc_features from pci_epc_get_features() API, use
the cached pci_epf_test::epc_features value to avoid the NULL check. Since
the NULL check is already performed in pci_epf_test_bind(), having one more
check in pci_epf_test_core_init() is redundant and it is not possible to
hit the NULL pointer dereference.
Also with commit a01e7214bef9 ("PCI: endpoint: Remove "core_init_notifier"
flag"), 'epc_features' got dereferenced without the NULL check, leading to
the following false positive Smatch warning:
drivers/pci/endpoint/functions/pci-epf-test.c:784 pci_epf_test_core_init() error: we previously assumed 'epc_features' could be null (see line 747)
Thus, remove the redundant NULL check and also use the epc_features::
{msix_capable/msi_capable} flags directly to avoid local variables.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: Fix the sorting functionality in iio_gts_build_avail_time_table
The sorting in iio_gts_build_avail_time_table is not working as intended.
It could result in an out-of-bounds access when the time is zero.
Here are more details:
1. When the gts->itime_table[i].time_us is zero, e.g., the time
sequence is `3, 0, 1`, the inner for-loop will not terminate and do
out-of-bound writes. This is because once `times[j] > new`, the value
`new` will be added in the current position and the `times[j]` will be
moved to `j+1` position, which makes the if-condition always hold.
Meanwhile, idx will be added one, making the loop keep running without
termination and out-of-bound write.
2. If none of the gts->itime_table[i].time_us is zero, the elements
will just be copied without being sorted as described in the comment
"Sort times from all tables to one and remove duplicates".

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check before access structs
In enable_phantom_plane, we should better check null pointer before
accessing various structs.
