Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: properly dereference pe in ip_vs_add_service
Use pe directly to resolve sparse warning:
net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_ctl.c:1471:27: warning: dereference of noderef expression
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:
f2fs: fix return value of f2fs_convert_inline_inode()
If device is readonly, make f2fs_convert_inline_inode()
return EROFS instead of zero, otherwise it may trigger
panic during writeback of inline inode's dirty page as

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to don't dirty inode for readonly filesystem
syzbot reports f2fs bug as below:

The root cause is:
- do_sys_open
- f2fs_lookup
- __f2fs_find_entry
- f2fs_i_depth_write
- f2fs_mark_inode_dirty_sync
- f2fs_dirty_inode
- set_inode_flag(inode, FI_DIRTY_INODE)
- umount
- kill_f2fs_super
- kill_block_super
- generic_shutdown_super
- sync_filesystem
: sb is readonly, skip sync_filesystem()
- evict_inodes
- iput
- f2fs_evict_inode
- f2fs_bug_on(sbi, is_inode_flag_set(inode, FI_DIRTY_INODE))
: trigger kernel panic
When we try to repair i_current_depth in readonly filesystem, let's
skip dirty inode to avoid panic in later f2fs_evict_inode().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: fsl: fsl_qmc_audio: Check devm_kasprintf() returned value
devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure but this returned
value is not checked.
Fix this lack and check the returned value.
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().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
erofs: fix race in z_erofs_get_gbuf()
In z_erofs_get_gbuf(), the current task may be migrated to another
CPU between `z_erofs_gbuf_id()` and `spin_lock(&gbuf->lock)`.
Therefore, z_erofs_put_gbuf() will trigger the following issue
which was found by stress test:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dev/parport: fix the array out-of-bounds risk
Fixed array out-of-bounds issues caused by sprintf
by replacing it with snprintf for safer data copying,
ensuring the destination buffer is not overflowed.
Below is the stack trace I encountered during the actual issue:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/DPC: Fix use-after-free on concurrent DPC and hot-removal
Keith reports a use-after-free when a DPC event occurs concurrently to
hot-removal of the same portion of the hierarchy:
The dpc_handler() awaits readiness of the secondary bus below the
Downstream Port where the DPC event occurred. To do so, it polls the
config space of the first child device on the secondary bus. If that
child device is concurrently removed, accesses to its struct pci_dev
cause the kernel to oops.
That's because pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() neglects to hold a
reference on the child device. Before v6.3, the function was only
called on resume from system sleep or on runtime resume. Holding a
reference wasn't necessary back then because the pciehp IRQ thread
could never run concurrently. (On resume from system sleep, IRQs are
not enabled until after the resume_noirq phase. And runtime resume is
always awaited before a PCI device is removed.)
However starting with v6.3, pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() is also
called on a DPC event. Commit 53b54ad074de ("PCI/DPC: Await readiness
of secondary bus after reset"), which introduced that, failed to
appreciate that pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() now needs to hold a
reference on the child device because dpc_handler() and pciehp may
indeed run concurrently. The commit was backported to v5.10+ stable
kernels, so that's the oldest one affected.
Add the missing reference acquisition.

error.
