Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In September 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
userfaultfd: don't BUG_ON() if khugepaged yanks our page table
Since khugepaged was changed to allow retracting page tables in file
mappings without holding the mmap lock, these BUG_ON()s are wrong - get
rid of them.
We could also remove the preceding "if (unlikely(...))" block, but then we
could reach pte_offset_map_lock() with transhuge pages not just for file
mappings but also for anonymous mappings - which would probably be fine
but I think is not necessarily expected.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/bridge: tc358767: Check if fully initialized before signalling HPD event via IRQ
Make sure the connector is fully initialized before signalling any
HPD events via drm_kms_helper_hotplug_event(), otherwise this may
lead to NULL pointer dereference.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Fix index may exceed array range within fpu_update_bw_bounding_box
[Why]
Coverity reports OVERRUN warning. soc.num_states could
be 40. But array range of bw_params->clk_table.entries is 8.
[How]
Assert if soc.num_states greater than 8.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Skip inactive planes within ModeSupportAndSystemConfiguration
[Why]
Coverity reports Memory - illegal accesses.
[How]
Skip inactive planes.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check link_index before accessing dc->links[]
[WHY & HOW]
dc->links[] has max size of MAX_LINKS and NULL is return when trying to
access with out-of-bound index.
This fixes 3 OVERRUN and 1 RESOURCE_LEAK issues reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check msg_id before processing transcation
[WHY & HOW]
HDCP_MESSAGE_ID_INVALID (-1) is not a valid msg_id nor is it a valid
array index, and it needs checking before used.
This fixes 4 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check num_valid_sets before accessing reader_wm_sets[]
[WHY & HOW]
num_valid_sets needs to be checked to avoid a negative index when
accessing reader_wm_sets[num_valid_sets - 1].
This fixes an OVERRUN issue reported by Coverity.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Stop amdgpu_dm initialize when link nums greater than max_links
[Why]
Coverity report OVERRUN warning. There are
only max_links elements within dc->links. link
count could up to AMDGPU_DM_MAX_DISPLAY_INDEX 31.
[How]
Make sure link count less than max_links.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Stop amdgpu_dm initialize when stream nums greater than 6
[Why]
Coverity reports OVERRUN warning. Should abort amdgpu_dm
initialize.
[How]
Return failure to amdgpu_dm_init.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Check gpio_id before used as array index
[WHY & HOW]
GPIO_ID_UNKNOWN (-1) is not a valid value for array index and therefore
should be checked in advance.
This fixes 5 OVERRUN issues reported by Coverity.
