Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In August 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5: Always drain health in shutdown callback
There is no point in recovery during device shutdown. if health
work started need to wait for it to avoid races and NULL pointer
access.
Hence, drain health WQ on shutdown callback.
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in chillzhuang SpringBlade 4.1.0. Affected is an unknown function of the file /api/blade-system/menu/list?updatexml. The manipulation leads to sql injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wan: fsl_qmc_hdlc: Convert carrier_lock spinlock to a mutex
The carrier_lock spinlock protects the carrier detection. While it is
held, framer_get_status() is called which in turn takes a mutex.
This is not correct and can lead to a deadlock.
A run with PROVE_LOCKING enabled detected the issue:
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]

other info that might help us debug this:
context-{4:4}
2 locks held by ifconfig/146:
#0: c0926a38 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: devinet_ioctl+0x12c/0x664
#1: c2006a40 (&qmc_hdlc->carrier_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: qmc_hdlc_framer_set_carrier+0x30/0x98
Avoid the spinlock usage and convert carrier_lock to a mutex.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/vmwgfx: Fix a deadlock in dma buf fence polling
Introduce a version of the fence ops that on release doesn't remove
the fence from the pending list, and thus doesn't require a lock to
fix poll->fence wait->fence unref deadlocks.
vmwgfx overwrites the wait callback to iterate over the list of all
fences and update their status, to do that it holds a lock to prevent
the list modifcations from other threads. The fence destroy callback
both deletes the fence and removes it from the list of pending
fences, for which it holds a lock.
dma buf polling cb unrefs a fence after it's been signaled: so the poll
calls the wait, which signals the fences, which are being destroyed.
The destruction tries to acquire the lock on the pending fences list
which it can never get because it's held by the wait from which it
was called.
Old bug, but not a lot of userspace apps were using dma-buf polling
interfaces. Fix those, in particular this fixes KDE stalls/deadlock.
** UNSUPPORTED WHEN ASSIGNED ** The Apache Helix Front (UI) component contained a hard-coded secret, allowing an attacker to spoof sessions by generating their own fake cookies.
This issue affects Apache Helix Front (UI): all versions.
As this project is retired, we do not plan to release a version that fixes this issue. Users are recommended to find an alternative or restrict access to the instance to trusted users.
NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: usb: qmi_wwan: fix memory leak for not ip packets
Free the unused skb when not ip packets arrive.
Hertzbeat is an open source, real-time monitoring system. Hertzbeat 1.6.0 and earlier declares a /api/monitor/{monitorId}/metric/{metricFull} endpoint to download job metrics. In the process, it executes a SQL query with user-controlled data, allowing for SQL injection.
Hertzbeat is an open source, real-time monitoring system. Hertzbeat has an authenticated (user role) RCE via unsafe deserialization in /api/monitors/import. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.6.0.
Khoj is an application that creates personal AI agents. The Automation feature allows a user to insert arbitrary HTML inside the task instructions, resulting in a Stored XSS. The q parameter for the /api/automation endpoint does not get correctly sanitized when rendered on the page, resulting in the ability of users to inject arbitrary HTML/JS. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.15.0.
Casdoor is a UI-first Identity and Access Management (IAM) / Single-Sign-On (SSO) platform. In Casdoor 1.577.0 and earlier, a logic vulnerability exists in the beego filter CorsFilter that allows any website to make cross domain requests to Casdoor as the logged in user. Due to the a logic error in checking only for a prefix when authenticating the Origin header, any domain can create a valid subdomain with a valid subdomain prefix (Ex: localhost.example.com), allowing the website to make requests to Casdoor as the current signed-in user.
