Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/iwcm: Fix a use-after-free related to destroying CM IDs
iw_conn_req_handler() associates a new struct rdma_id_private (conn_id) with
an existing struct iw_cm_id (cm_id) as follows:
conn_id->cm_id.iw = cm_id;
cm_id->context = conn_id;
cm_id->cm_handler = cma_iw_handler;
rdma_destroy_id() frees both the cm_id and the struct rdma_id_private. Make
sure that cm_work_handler() does not trigger a use-after-free by only
freeing of the struct rdma_id_private after all pending work has finished.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: validate nvme_local_port correctly
The driver load failed with error message,
qla2xxx [0000:04:00.0]-ffff:0: register_localport failed: ret=ffffffef

The command completion was done early while aborting the commands in driver
unload path but outside lock to avoid the WARN_ON condition of performing
dma_free_attr within the lock. However this caused race condition while
command completion via multiple paths causing system crash.
Hence complete the command early in unload path but within the lock to
avoid race condition.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: Fix for possible memory corruption
Init Control Block is dereferenced incorrectly. Correctly dereference ICB
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: qla2xxx: During vport delete send async logout explicitly
During vport delete, it is observed that during unload we hit a crash
because of stale entries in outstanding command array. For all these stale
I/O entries, eh_abort was issued and aborted (fast_fail_io = 2009h) but
I/Os could not complete while vport delete is in process of deleting.

SCSI does not set GD_OWNS_QUEUE, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is not set in
this scenario. This is a classic ABBA deadlock. To fix the deadlock,
make sure we don't try to acquire disk->open_mutex after freezing
the queue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Fix missing lock on sync reset reload
On sync reset reload work, when remote host updates devlink on reload
actions performed on that host, it misses taking devlink lock before
calling devlink_remote_reload_actions_performed() which results in
triggering lock assert like the following:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: iptables: Fix potential null-ptr-deref in ip6table_nat_table_init().
ip6table_nat_table_init() accesses net->gen->ptr[ip6table_nat_net_ops.id],
but the function is exposed to user space before the entry is allocated
via register_pernet_subsys().
Let's call register_pernet_subsys() before xt_register_template().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: iptables: Fix null-ptr-deref in iptable_nat_table_init().
We had a report that iptables-restore sometimes triggered null-ptr-deref
at boot time. [0]
The problem is that iptable_nat_table_init() is exposed to user space
before the kernel fully initialises netns.
In the small race window, a user could call iptable_nat_table_init()
that accesses net_generic(net, iptable_nat_net_id), which is available
only after registering iptable_nat_net_ops.
Let's call register_pernet_subsys() before xt_register_template().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/iucv: fix use after free in iucv_sock_close()
iucv_sever_path() is called from process context and from bh context.
iucv->path is used as indicator whether somebody else is taking care of
severing the path (or it is already removed / never existed).
This needs to be done with atomic compare and swap, otherwise there is a
small window where iucv_sock_close() will try to work with a path that has
already been severed and freed by iucv_callback_connrej() called by
iucv_tasklet_fn().

[452744.125325] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
Note that bh_lock_sock() is not serializing the tasklet context against
process context, because the check for sock_owned_by_user() and
corresponding handling is missing.
Ideas for a future clean-up patch:
A) Correct usage of bh_lock_sock() in tasklet context, as described in
Re-enqueue, if needed. This may require adding return values to the
tasklet functions and thus changes to all users of iucv.
B) Change iucv tasklet into worker and use only lock_sock() in af_iucv.
