Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix potential memory leak in ice_gnss_tty_write()
The ice_gnss_tty_write() return directly if the write_buf alloc failed,
leaking the cmd_buf.
Fix by free cmd_buf if write_buf alloc failed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Add check for kzalloc
Add the check for the return value of kzalloc in order to avoid
NULL pointer dereference.
Moreover, use the goto-label to share the clean code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Remove rcu locks from user resources
User resource lookups used rcu to avoid two extra atomics. Unfortunately
the rcu paths were buggy and it was easy to make the driver crash by
submitting command buffers from two different threads. Because the
lookups never show up in performance profiles replace them with a
regular spin lock which fixes the races in accesses to those shared
resources.
Fixes kernel oops'es in IGT's vmwgfx execution_buffer stress test and
seen crashes with apps using shared resources.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dpu: Fix memory leak in msm_mdss_parse_data_bus_icc_path
of_icc_get() alloc resources for path1, we should release it when not
need anymore. Early return when IS_ERR_OR_NULL(path0) may leak path1.
Defer getting path1 to fix this.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: sof-nau8825: fix module alias overflow
The maximum name length for a platform_device_id entry is 20 characters
including the trailing NUL byte. The sof_nau8825.c file exceeds that,
which causes an obscure error message:
sound/soc/intel/boards/snd-soc-sof_nau8825.mod.c:35:45: error: illegal character encoding in string literal [-Werror,-Winvalid-source-encoding]
MODULE_ALIAS("platform:adl_max98373_nau8825<U+0018><AA>");

I could not figure out how to make the module handling robust enough
to handle this better, but as a quick fix, using slightly shorter
names that are still unique avoids the build issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: storvsc: Fix swiotlb bounce buffer leak in confidential VM
storvsc_queuecommand() maps the scatter/gather list using scsi_dma_map(),
which in a confidential VM allocates swiotlb bounce buffers. If the I/O
submission fails in storvsc_do_io(), the I/O is typically retried by higher
level code, but the bounce buffer memory is never freed. The mostly like
cause of I/O submission failure is a full VMBus channel ring buffer, which
is not uncommon under high I/O loads. Eventually enough bounce buffer
memory leaks that the confidential VM can't do any I/O. The same problem
can arise in a non-confidential VM with kernel boot parameter
swiotlb=force.
Fix this by doing scsi_dma_unmap() in the case of an I/O submission
error, which frees the bounce buffer memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
regulator: da9211: Use irq handler when ready
If the system does not come from reset (like when it is kexec()), the
regulator might have an IRQ waiting for us.
If we enable the IRQ handler before its structures are ready, we crash.
This patch fixes:
[ 1.141839] Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address 0000000000000078

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
sched/core: Fix use-after-free bug in dup_user_cpus_ptr()
Since commit 07ec77a1d4e8 ("sched: Allow task CPU affinity to be
restricted on asymmetric systems"), the setting and clearing of
user_cpus_ptr are done under pi_lock for arm64 architecture. However,
dup_user_cpus_ptr() accesses user_cpus_ptr without any lock
protection. Since sched_setaffinity() can be invoked from another
process, the process being modified may be undergoing fork() at
the same time. When racing with the clearing of user_cpus_ptr in
__set_cpus_allowed_ptr_locked(), it can lead to user-after-free and
possibly double-free in arm64 kernel.
Commit 8f9ea86fdf99 ("sched: Always preserve the user requested
cpumask") fixes this problem as user_cpus_ptr, once set, will never
be cleared in a task's lifetime. However, this bug was re-introduced
in commit 851a723e45d1 ("sched: Always clear user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed()") which allows the clearing of user_cpus_ptr in
do_set_cpus_allowed(). This time, it will affect all arches.
Fix this bug by always clearing the user_cpus_ptr of the newly
cloned/forked task before the copying process starts and check the
user_cpus_ptr state of the source task under pi_lock.
Note to stable, this patch won't be applicable to stable releases.
Just copy the new dup_user_cpus_ptr() function over.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/i915/gt: Cleanup partial engine discovery failures
If we abort driver initialisation in the middle of gt/engine discovery,
some engines will be fully setup and some not. Those incompletely setup
engines only have 'engine->release == NULL' and so will leak any of the
common objects allocated.
v2:
- Drop the destroy_pinned_context() helper for now. It's not really
worth it with just a single callsite at the moment. (Janusz)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/arm-smmu-v3: Don't unregister on shutdown
Similar to SMMUv2, this driver calls iommu_device_unregister() from the
shutdown path, which removes the IOMMU groups with no coordination
whatsoever with their users - shutdown methods are optional in device
drivers. This can lead to NULL pointer dereferences in those drivers'
DMA API calls, or worse.
Instead of calling the full arm_smmu_device_remove() from
arm_smmu_device_shutdown(), let's pick only the relevant function call -
arm_smmu_device_disable() - more or less the reverse of
arm_smmu_device_reset() - and call just that from the shutdown path.
