Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
landlock: Don't lose track of restrictions on cred_transfer
When a process' cred struct is replaced, this _almost_ always invokes
the cred_prepare LSM hook; but in one special case (when
KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT updates the parent's credentials), the
cred_transfer LSM hook is used instead. Landlock only implements the
cred_prepare hook, not cred_transfer, so KEYCTL_SESSION_TO_PARENT causes
all information on Landlock restrictions to be lost.
This basically means that a process with the ability to use the fork()
and keyctl() syscalls can get rid of all Landlock restrictions on
itself.
Fix it by adding a cred_transfer hook that does the same thing as the
existing cred_prepare hook. (Implemented by having hook_cred_prepare()
call hook_cred_transfer() so that the two functions are less likely to
accidentally diverge in the future.)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mailbox: mtk-cmdq: Move devm_mbox_controller_register() after devm_pm_runtime_enable()
When mtk-cmdq unbinds, a WARN_ON message with condition
pm_runtime_get_sync() < 0 occurs.
According to the call tracei below:
cmdq_mbox_shutdown
mbox_free_channel
mbox_controller_unregister
__devm_mbox_controller_unregister
...
The root cause can be deduced to be calling pm_runtime_get_sync() after
calling pm_runtime_disable() as observed below:
1. CMDQ driver uses devm_mbox_controller_register() in cmdq_probe()
to bind the cmdq device to the mbox_controller, so
devm_mbox_controller_unregister() will automatically unregister
the device bound to the mailbox controller when the device-managed
resource is removed. That means devm_mbox_controller_unregister()
and cmdq_mbox_shoutdown() will be called after cmdq_remove().
2. CMDQ driver also uses devm_pm_runtime_enable() in cmdq_probe() after
devm_mbox_controller_register(), so that devm_pm_runtime_disable()
will be called after cmdq_remove(), but before
devm_mbox_controller_unregister().
To fix this problem, cmdq_probe() needs to move
devm_mbox_controller_register() after devm_pm_runtime_enable() to make
devm_pm_runtime_disable() be called after
devm_mbox_controller_unregister().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/dasd: fix error checks in dasd_copy_pair_store()
dasd_add_busid() can return an error via ERR_PTR() if an allocation
fails. However, two callsites in dasd_copy_pair_store() do not check
the result, potentially resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. Fix
this by checking the result with IS_ERR() and returning the error up
the stack.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: flow_dissector: use DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE
The following splat is easy to reproduce upstream as well as in -stable
kernels. Florian Westphal provided the following commit:
d1dab4f71d37 ("net: add and use __skb_get_hash_symmetric_net")
but this complementary fix has been also suggested by Willem de Bruijn
and it can be easily backported to -stable kernel which consists in
using DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE instead to silence the following splat
given __skb_get_hash() is used by the nftables tracing infrastructure to
to identify packets in traces.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: handle inconsistent state in nilfs_btnode_create_block()
Syzbot reported that a buffer state inconsistency was detected in
nilfs_btnode_create_block(), triggering a kernel bug.
It is not appropriate to treat this inconsistency as a bug; it can occur
if the argument block address (the buffer index of the newly created
block) is a virtual block number and has been reallocated due to
corruption of the bitmap used to manage its allocation state.
So, modify nilfs_btnode_create_block() and its callers to treat it as a
possible filesystem error, rather than triggering a kernel bug.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Update log->page_{mask,bits} if log->page_size changed
If an NTFS file system is mounted to another system with different
PAGE_SIZE from the original system, log->page_size will change in
log_replay(), but log->page_{mask,bits} don't change correspondingly.
This will cause a panic because "u32 bytes = log->page_size - page_off"
will get a negative value in the later read_log_page().
