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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/nouveau: prime: fix refcount underflow
Calling nouveau_bo_ref() on a nouveau_bo without initializing it (and
hence the backing ttm_bo) leads to a refcount underflow.
Instead of calling nouveau_bo_ref() in the unwind path of
drm_gem_object_init(), clean things up manually.
(cherry picked from commit 1b93f3e89d03cfc576636e195466a0d728ad8de5)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv/purgatory: align riscv_kernel_entry
When alignment handling is delegated to the kernel, everything must be
word-aligned in purgatory, since the trap handler is then set to the
kexec one. Without the alignment, hitting the exception would
ultimately crash. On other occasions, the kernel's handler would take
care of exceptions.
This has been tested on a JH7110 SoC with oreboot and its SBI delegating
unaligned access exceptions and the kernel configured to handle them.

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 ]
...
c204ddbc (&framer->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: framer_get_status+0x40/0x78
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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix CT entry update leaks of modify header context
The cited commit allocates a new modify header to replace the old
one when updating CT entry. But if failed to allocate a new one, eg.
exceed the max number firmware can support, modify header will be
an error pointer that will trigger a panic when deallocating it. And
the old modify header point is copied to old attr. When the old
attr is freed, the old modify header is lost.
Fix it by restoring the old attr to attr when failed to allocate a
new modify header context. So when the CT entry is freed, the right
modify header context will be freed. And the panic of accessing
error pointer is also fixed.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
s390/fpu: Re-add exception handling in load_fpu_state()
With the recent rewrite of the fpu code exception handling for the
lfpc instruction within load_fpu_state() was erroneously removed.
Add it again to prevent that loading invalid floating point register
values cause an unhandled specification exception.

** 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.
