Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In September 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm: vmalloc: ensure vmap_block is initialised before adding to queue
Commit 8c61291fd850 ("mm: fix incorrect vbq reference in
purge_fragmented_block") extended the 'vmap_block' structure to contain a
'cpu' field which is set at allocation time to the id of the initialising
CPU.
When a new 'vmap_block' is being instantiated by new_vmap_block(), the
partially initialised structure is added to the local 'vmap_block_queue'
xarray before the 'cpu' field has been initialised. If another CPU is
concurrently walking the xarray (e.g. via vm_unmap_aliases()), then it
may perform an out-of-bounds access to the remote queue thanks to an
uninitialised index.
This has been observed as UBSAN errors in Android:
| Internal error: UBSAN: array index out of bounds: 00000000f2005512 [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Move the initialisation of 'vb->cpu' in new_vmap_block() ahead of the
addition to the xarray.

Thanks to Thomas Gleixner's analysis, the issue is caused by the low
initial period (1) of the frequency estimation algorithm, which triggers
the defects of the HW, specifically erratum HSW11 and HSW143. (For the
details, please refer https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/87plq9l5d2.ffs@tglx/)
The HSW11 requires a period larger than 100 for the INST_RETIRED.ALL
event, but the initial period in the freq mode is 1. The erratum is the
same as the BDM11, which has been supported in the kernel. A minimum
period of 128 is enforced as well on HSW.
HSW143 is regarding that the fixed counter 1 may overcount 32 with the
Hyper-Threading is enabled. However, based on the test, the hardware
has more issues than it tells. Besides the fixed counter 1, the message
'interrupt took too long' can be observed on any counter which was armed
with a period < 32 and two events expired in the same NMI. A minimum
period of 32 is enforced for the rest of the events.
The recommended workaround code of the HSW143 is not implemented.
Because it only addresses the issue for the fixed counter. It brings
extra overhead through extra MSR writing. No related overcounting issue
has been reported so far.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Avoid race between dcn35_set_drr() and dc_state_destruct()
dc_state_destruct() nulls the resource context of the DC state. The pipe
context passed to dcn35_set_drr() is a member of this resource context.
If dc_state_destruct() is called parallel to the IRQ processing (which
calls dcn35_set_drr() at some point), we can end up using already nulled
function callback fields of struct stream_resource.
The logic in dcn35_set_drr() already tries to avoid this, by checking tg
against NULL. But if the nulling happens exactly after the NULL check and
before the next access, then we get a race.
Avoid this by copying tg first to a local variable, and then use this
variable for all the operations. This should work, as long as nobody
frees the resource pool where the timing generators live.
(cherry picked from commit 0607a50c004798a96e62c089a4c34c220179dcb5)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma-buf: heaps: Fix off-by-one in CMA heap fault handler
Until VM_DONTEXPAND was added in commit 1c1914d6e8c6 ("dma-buf: heaps:
Don't track CMA dma-buf pages under RssFile") it was possible to obtain
a mapping larger than the buffer size via mremap and bypass the overflow
check in dma_buf_mmap_internal. When using such a mapping to attempt to
fault past the end of the buffer, the CMA heap fault handler also checks
the fault offset against the buffer size, but gets the boundary wrong by
1. Fix the boundary check so that we don't read off the end of the pages
array and insert an arbitrary page in the mapping.

wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: use IWL_FW_CHECK for link ID check
The lookup function iwl_mvm_rcu_fw_link_id_to_link_conf() is
normally called with input from the firmware, so it should use
IWL_FW_CHECK() instead of WARN_ON().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: ath12k: fix firmware crash due to invalid peer nss
Currently, if the access point receives an association
request containing an Extended HE Capabilities Information
Element with an invalid MCS-NSS, it triggers a firmware
crash.
This issue arises when EHT-PHY capabilities shows support
for a bandwidth and MCS-NSS set for that particular
bandwidth is filled by zeros and due to this, driver obtains
peer_nss as 0 and sending this value to firmware causes
crash.
Address this issue by implementing a validation step for
the peer_nss value before passing it to the firmware. If
the value is greater than zero, proceed with forwarding
it to the firmware. However, if the value is invalid,
reject the association request to prevent potential
firmware crashes.
