Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix null pointer deref in dcn20_resource.c
Fixes a hang thats triggered when MPV is run on a DCN401 dGPU:
mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=gpu --hwdec-codecs=all
and then enabling fullscreen playback (double click on the video)
The following calltrace will be seen:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
media: xc2028: avoid use-after-free in load_firmware_cb()
syzkaller reported use-after-free in load_firmware_cb() [1].
The reason is because the module allocated a struct tuner in tuner_probe(),
and then the module initialization failed, the struct tuner was released.
A worker which created during module initialization accesses this struct
tuner later, it caused use-after-free.
The process is as follows:
task-6504 worker_thread
tuner_probe <= alloc dvb_frontend [2]
...
request_firmware_nowait <= create a worker
...
tuner_remove <= free dvb_frontend
...
request_firmware_work_func <= the firmware is ready
load_firmware_cb <= but now the dvb_frontend has been freed
To fix the issue, check the dvd_frontend in load_firmware_cb(), if it is
null, report a warning and just return.

This error happens when the color log tries to read the gamut remap
information from DCN401 which is not initialized in the dcn401_dpp_funcs
which leads to a null pointer dereference. This commit addresses this
issue by adding a proper guard to access the gamut_remap callback in
case the specific ASIC did not implement this function.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null checks for 'stream' and 'plane' before dereferencing
This commit adds null checks for the 'stream' and 'plane' variables in
the dcn30_apply_idle_power_optimizations function. These variables were
previously assumed to be null at line 922, but they were used later in
the code without checking if they were null. This could potentially lead
to a null pointer dereference, which would cause a crash.
The null checks ensure that 'stream' and 'plane' are not null before
they are used, preventing potential crashes.
Fixes the below static smatch checker:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/../display/dc/hwss/dcn30/dcn30_hwseq.c:938 dcn30_apply_idle_power_optimizations() error: we previously assumed 'stream' could be null (see line 922)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Add null check in resource_log_pipe_topology_update
[WHY]
When switching from "Extend" to "Second Display Only" we sometimes
call resource_get_otg_master_for_stream on a stream for the eDP,
which is disconnected. This leads to a null pointer dereference.
[HOW]
Added a null check in dc_resource.c/resource_log_pipe_topology_update.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tcp: Disable TCP-AO static key after RCU grace period
The lifetime of TCP-AO static_key is the same as the last
tcp_ao_info. On the socket destruction tcp_ao_info ceases to be
with RCU grace period, while tcp-ao static branch is currently deferred
destructed. The static key definition is
: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_DEFERRED_FALSE(tcp_ao_needed, HZ);
which means that if RCU grace period is delayed by more than a second
and tcp_ao_needed is in the process of disablement, other CPUs may
yet see tcp_ao_info which atent dead, but soon-to-be.
And that breaks the assumption of static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled().
See the comment near the definition:
> * The caller must make sure that the static key can't get disabled while
> * in this function. It doesn't patch jump labels, only adds a user to
> * an already enabled static key.
Originally it was introduced in commit eb8c507296f6 ("jump_label:
Prevent key->enabled int overflow"), which is needed for the atomic
contexts, one of which would be the creation of a full socket from a
request socket. In that atomic context, it's known by the presence
of the key (md5/ao) that the static branch is already enabled.
So, the ref counter for that static branch is just incremented
instead of holding the proper mutex.
static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled() is just a helper for such usage
case. But it must not be used if the static branch could get disabled
in parallel as it's not protected by jump_label_mutex and as a result,
races with jump_label_update() implementation details.
Happened on netdev test-bot[1], so not a theoretical issue:
