Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: fix memory leak during stateful obj update
stateful objects can be updated from the control plane.
The transaction logic allocates a temporary object for this purpose.
The ->init function was called for this object, so plain kfree() leaks
resources. We must call ->destroy function of the object.
nft_obj_destroy does this, but it also decrements the module refcount,
but the update path doesn't increment it.
To avoid special-casing the update object release, do module_get for
the update case too and release it via nft_obj_destroy().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfp: flower: Fix a potential leak in nfp_tunnel_add_shared_mac()
ida_simple_get() returns an id between min (0) and max (NFP_MAX_MAC_INDEX)
inclusive.
So NFP_MAX_MAC_INDEX (0xff) is a valid id.
In order for the error handling path to work correctly, the 'invalid'
value for 'ida_idx' should not be in the 0..NFP_MAX_MAC_INDEX range,
inclusive.
So set it to -1.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: unregister flowtable hooks on netns exit
Unregister flowtable hooks before they are releases via
nf_tables_flowtable_destroy() otherwise hook core reports UAF.

__nft_release_hook() calls nft_unregister_flowtable_net_hooks() which
only unregisters the hooks, then after RCU grace period, it is
guaranteed that no packets add new entries to the flowtable (no flow
offload rules and flowtable hooks are reachable from packet path), so it
is safe to call nf_flow_table_free() which cleans up the remaining
entries from the flowtable (both software and hardware) and it unbinds
the flow_block.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: rndis: add spinlock for rndis response list
There's no lock for rndis response list. It could cause list corruption
if there're two different list_add at the same time like below.
It's better to add in rndis_add_response / rndis_free_response
/ rndis_get_next_response to prevent any race condition on response list.
[ 361.894299] [1: irq/191-dwc3:16979] list_add corruption.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: tsc2046: fix memory corruption by preventing array overflow
On one side we have indio_dev->num_channels includes all physical channels +
timestamp channel. On other side we have an array allocated only for
physical channels. So, fix memory corruption by ARRAY_SIZE() instead of
num_channels variable.
Note the first case is a cleanup rather than a fix as the software
timestamp channel bit in active_scanmask is never set by the IIO core.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: adc: men_z188_adc: Fix a resource leak in an error handling path
If iio_device_register() fails, a previous ioremap() is left unbalanced.
Update the error handling path and add the missing iounmap() call, as
already done in the remove function.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix crash due to out of bounds access into reg2btf_ids.
When commit e6ac2450d6de ("bpf: Support bpf program calling kernel function") added
kfunc support, it defined reg2btf_ids as a cheap way to translate the verifier
reg type to the appropriate btf_vmlinux BTF ID, however
commit c25b2ae13603 ("bpf: Replace PTR_TO_XXX_OR_NULL with PTR_TO_XXX | PTR_MAYBE_NULL")
moved the __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX from the last member of bpf_reg_type enum to after
the base register types, and defined other variants using type flag
composition. However, now, the direct usage of reg->type to index into
reg2btf_ids may no longer fall into __BPF_REG_TYPE_MAX range, and hence lead to
out of bounds access and kernel crash on dereference of bad pointer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/ib_srp: Fix a deadlock
Remove the flush_workqueue(system_long_wq) call since flushing
system_long_wq is deadlock-prone and since that call is redundant with a
preceding cancel_work_sync()
The AcyMailing – An Ultimate Newsletter Plugin and Marketing Automation Solution for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file uploads due to missing file type validation in the acym_extractArchive function in all versions up to, and including, 9.7.2. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to upload arbitrary files on the affected site's server which may make remote code execution possible.
The Themify Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized post duplication due to missing checks on the duplicate_page_ajaxify function in all versions up to, and including, 7.6.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to duplicate and view private or draft posts created by other users that otherwise shouldn't be accessible to them.
