Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mediatek: Fix potential NULL pointer dereference in dummy net_device handling
Move the freeing of the dummy net_device from mtk_free_dev() to
mtk_remove().
Previously, if alloc_netdev_dummy() failed in mtk_probe(),
eth->dummy_dev would be NULL. The error path would then call
mtk_free_dev(), which in turn called free_netdev() assuming dummy_dev
was allocated (but it was not), potentially causing a NULL pointer
dereference.
By moving free_netdev() to mtk_remove(), we ensure it's only called when
mtk_probe() has succeeded and dummy_dev is fully allocated. This
addresses a potential NULL pointer dereference detected by Smatch[1].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: nexthop: Initialize all fields in dumped nexthops
struct nexthop_grp contains two reserved fields that are not initialized by
nla_put_nh_group(), and carry garbage. This can be observed e.g. with
strace (edited for clarity):
# ip nexthop add id 1 dev lo
# ip nexthop add id 101 group 1
# strace -e recvmsg ip nexthop get id 101
...
recvmsg(... [{nla_len=12, nla_type=NHA_GROUP},
[{id=1, weight=0, resvd1=0x69, resvd2=0x67}]] ...) = 52
The fields are reserved and therefore not currently used. But as they are, they
leak kernel memory, and the fact they are not just zero complicates repurposing
of the fields for new ends. Initialize the full structure.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: Return non-zero value from tipc_udp_addr2str() on error
tipc_udp_addr2str() should return non-zero value if the UDP media
address is invalid. Otherwise, a buffer overflow access can occur in
tipc_media_addr_printf(). Fix this by returning 1 on an invalid UDP
media address.

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.

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:
irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Handle runtime power management correctly
The power domain is automatically activated from clk_prepare(). However, on
certain platforms like i.MX8QM and i.MX8QXP, the power-on handling invokes
sleeping functions, which triggers the 'scheduling while atomic' bug in the
context switch path during device probing:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Add a per-VF limit on number of FDIR filters
While the iavf driver adds a s/w limit (128) on the number of FDIR
filters that the VF can request, a malicious VF driver can request more
than that and exhaust the resources for other VFs.
Add a similar limit in ice.
