Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched: act_ct: take care of padding in struct zones_ht_key
Blamed commit increased lookup key size from 2 bytes to 16 bytes,
because zones_ht_key got a struct net pointer.
Make sure rhashtable_lookup() is not using the padding bytes
which are not initialized.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: assign CURSEG_ALL_DATA_ATGC if blkaddr is valid

truncate --size 13 /mnt/test/comp/testfile
In the above scenario, we can get a BUG_ON.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Revert "ALSA: firewire-lib: operate for period elapse event in process context"
Commit 7ba5ca32fe6e ("ALSA: firewire-lib: operate for period elapse event
in process context") removed the process context workqueue from
amdtp_domain_stream_pcm_pointer() and update_pcm_pointers() to remove
its overhead.
With RME Fireface 800, this lead to a regression since
Kernels 5.14.0, causing an AB/BA deadlock competition for the
substream lock with eventual system freeze under ALSA operation:
thread 0:
* (lock A) acquire substream lock by
snd_pcm_stream_lock_irq() in
snd_pcm_status64()
* (lock B) wait for tasklet to finish by calling
tasklet_unlock_spin_wait() in
tasklet_disable_in_atomic() in
ohci_flush_iso_completions() of ohci.c
thread 1:
* (lock B) enter tasklet
* (lock A) attempt to acquire substream lock,
waiting for it to be released:
snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave() in
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() in
update_pcm_pointers() in
process_ctx_payloads() in
process_rx_packets() of amdtp-stream.c

AB/BA deadlock competition for ALSA substream lock of

and snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave() in snd_pcm_period_elapsed().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/client: Fix error code in drm_client_buffer_vmap_local()
This function accidentally returns zero/success on the failure path.
It leads to locking issues and an uninitialized *map_copy in the
caller.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvme-pci: add missing condition check for existence of mapped data
nvme_map_data() is called when request has physical segments, hence
the nvme_unmap_data() should have same condition to avoid dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu: sprd: Avoid NULL deref in sprd_iommu_hw_en
In sprd_iommu_cleanup() before calling function sprd_iommu_hw_en()
dom->sdev is equal to NULL, which leads to null dereference.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: TAS2781: Fix tasdev_load_calibrated_data()
This function has a reversed if statement so it's either a no-op or it
leads to a NULL dereference.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: microchip-core: ensure TX and RX FIFOs are empty at start of a transfer
While transmitting with rx_len == 0, the RX FIFO is not going to be
emptied in the interrupt handler. A subsequent transfer could then
read crap from the previous transfer out of the RX FIFO into the
start RX buffer. The core provides a register that will empty the RX and
TX FIFOs, so do that before each transfer.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
apparmor: Fix null pointer deref when receiving skb during sock creation
The panic below is observed when receiving ICMP packets with secmark set
while an ICMP raw socket is being created. SK_CTX(sk)->label is updated
in apparmor_socket_post_create(), but the packet is delivered to the
socket before that, causing the null pointer dereference.
Drop the packet if label context is not set.
