Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In August 2024
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:

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.

- 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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/arm-smmu: Don't unregister on shutdown
Michael Walle says he noticed the following stack trace while performing
a shutdown with "reboot -f". He suggests he got "lucky" and just hit the
correct spot for the reboot while there was a packet transmission in
flight.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbe: fix pci device refcount leak
As the comment of pci_get_domain_bus_and_slot() says, it
returns a PCI device with refcount incremented, when finish
using it, the caller must decrement the reference count by
calling pci_dev_put().
In ixgbe_get_first_secondary_devfn() and ixgbe_x550em_a_has_mii(),
pci_dev_put() is called to avoid leak.

On arm64, pmd_leaf() will return true even if the pmd is invalid due to
pmd_present_invalid() check. So in pmdp_invalidate() the file_map_count
will not only decrease once but also increase once. Then in set_pte_at(),
the file_map_count increase again, and so trigger BUG_ON() unexpectedly.
Add !pmd_present_invalid() check in pmd_user_accessible_page() to fix the
problem.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm/dp: do not complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx() if irq is not for aux transfer
There are 3 possible interrupt sources are handled by DP controller,
HPDstatus, Controller state changes and Aux read/write transaction.
At every irq, DP controller have to check isr status of every interrupt
sources and service the interrupt if its isr status bits shows interrupts
are pending. There is potential race condition may happen at current aux
isr handler implementation since it is always complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx()
even irq is not for aux read or write transaction. This may cause aux read
transaction return premature if host aux data read is in the middle of
waiting for sink to complete transferring data to host while irq happen.
This will cause host's receiving buffer contains unexpected data. This
patch fixes this problem by checking aux isr and return immediately at
aux isr handler if there are no any isr status bits set.
Current there is a bug report regrading eDP edid corruption happen during
system booting up. After lengthy debugging to found that VIDEO_READY
interrupt was continuously firing during system booting up which cause
dp_aux_isr() to complete dp_aux_cmd_fifo_tx() prematurely to retrieve data
from aux hardware buffer which is not yet contains complete data transfer
from sink. This cause edid corruption.
Follows are the signature at kernel logs when problem happen,
EDID has corrupt header

Changes in v2:
-- do complete if (ret == IRQ_HANDLED) ay dp-aux_isr()

Changes in v3:
-- add Stephen suggested

-- split into two patches
Changes in v5:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/virtio: Fix GEM handle creation UAF
Userspace can guess the handle value and try to race GEM object creation
with handle close, resulting in a use-after-free if we dereference the
object after dropping the handle's reference. For that reason, dropping
the handle's reference must be done *after* we are done dereferencing
the object.

commit 859748255b43 ("efi: pstore: Omit efivars caching EFI varstore
