Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In September 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xen: privcmd: Fix possible access to a freed kirqfd instance
Nothing prevents simultaneous ioctl calls to privcmd_irqfd_assign() and
privcmd_irqfd_deassign(). If that happens, it is possible that a kirqfd
created and added to the irqfds_list by privcmd_irqfd_assign() may get
removed by another thread executing privcmd_irqfd_deassign(), while the
former is still using it after dropping the locks.
This can lead to a situation where an already freed kirqfd instance may
be accessed and cause kernel oops.
Use SRCU locking to prevent the same, as is done for the KVM
implementation for irqfds.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fou: Fix null-ptr-deref in GRO.
We observed a null-ptr-deref in fou_gro_receive() while shutting down
a host. [0]
The NULL pointer is sk->sk_user_data, and the offset 8 is of protocol
in struct fou.
When fou_release() is called due to netns dismantle or explicit tunnel
teardown, udp_tunnel_sock_release() sets NULL to sk->sk_user_data.
Then, the tunnel socket is destroyed after a single RCU grace period.
So, in-flight udp4_gro_receive() could find the socket and execute the
FOU GRO handler, where sk->sk_user_data could be NULL.
Let's use rcu_dereference_sk_user_data() in fou_from_sock() and add NULL
checks in FOU GRO handlers.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: protect XDP configuration with a mutex
The main threat to data consistency in ice_xdp() is a possible asynchronous
PF reset. It can be triggered by a user or by TX timeout handler.
XDP setup and PF reset code access the same resources in the following
sections:
* ice_vsi_close() in ice_prepare_for_reset() - already rtnl-locked
* ice_vsi_rebuild() for the PF VSI - not protected
* ice_vsi_open() - already rtnl-locked
With an unfortunate timing, such accesses can result in a crash such as the
one below:

The previous way of handling this through returning -EBUSY is not viable,
particularly when destroying AF_XDP socket, because the kernel proceeds
with removal anyway.
There is plenty of code between those calls and there is no need to create
a large critical section that covers all of them, same as there is no need
to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() with rtnl_lock().
Add xdp_state_lock mutex to protect ice_vsi_rebuild() and ice_xdp().
Leaving unprotected sections in between would result in two states that
have to be considered:
1. when the VSI is closed, but not yet rebuild
2. when VSI is already rebuild, but not yet open
The latter case is actually already handled through !netif_running() case,
we just need to adjust flag checking a little. The former one is not as
trivial, because between ice_vsi_close() and ice_vsi_rebuild(), a lot of
hardware interaction happens, this can make adding/deleting rings exit
with an error. Luckily, VSI rebuild is pending and can apply new
configuration for us in a managed fashion.
Therefore, add an additional VSI state flag ICE_VSI_REBUILD_PENDING to
indicate that ice_x

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: move netif_queue_set_napi to rtnl-protected sections
Currently, netif_queue_set_napi() is called from ice_vsi_rebuild() that is
not rtnl-locked when called from the reset. This creates the need to take
the rtnl_lock just for a single function and complicates the
synchronization with .ndo_bpf. At the same time, there no actual need to
fill napi-to-queue information at this exact point.
Fill napi-to-queue information when opening the VSI and clear it when the
VSI is being closed. Those routines are already rtnl-locked.
Also, rewrite napi-to-queue assignment in a way that prevents inclusion of
XDP queues, as this leads to out-of-bounds writes, such as one below.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (hp-wmi-sensors) Check if WMI event data exists
The BIOS can choose to return no event data in response to a
WMI event, so the ACPI object passed to the WMI notify handler
can be NULL.
Check for such a situation and ignore the event in such a case.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: intel: Add check devm_kasprintf() returned value
intel_spi_populate_chip() use devm_kasprintf() to set pdata->name.
This can return a NULL pointer on failure but this returned value
is not checked.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Add netif_device_attach/detach into PF reset flow
Ethtool callbacks can be executed while reset is in progress and try to
access deleted resources, e.g. getting coalesce settings can result in a
NULL pointer dereference seen below.
Reproduction steps:
Once the driver is fully initialized, trigger reset:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/net/<interface>/device/reset
when reset is in progress try to get coalesce settings using ethtool:

Calling netif_device_detach() before reset makes the net core not call
the driver when ethtool command is issued, the attempt to execute an
ethtool command during reset will result in the following message:
netlink error: No such device
instead of NULL pointer dereference. Once reset is done and
ice_rebuild() is executing, the netif_device_attach() is called to allow
for ethtool operations to occur again in a safe manner.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nvmet-tcp: fix kernel crash if commands allocation fails
If the commands allocation fails in nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmds()
the kernel crashes in nvmet_tcp_release_queue_work() because of
a NULL pointer dereference.
nvmet: failed to install queue 0 cntlid 1 ret 6
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
virtual address 0000000000000008
Fix the bug by setting queue->nr_cmds to zero in case
nvmet_tcp_alloc_cmd() fails.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
VMCI: Fix use-after-free when removing resource in vmci_resource_remove()
When removing a resource from vmci_resource_table in
vmci_resource_remove(), the search is performed using the resource
handle by comparing context and resource fields.
It is possible though to create two resources with different types
but same handle (same context and resource fields).
When trying to remove one of the resources, vmci_resource_remove()
may not remove the intended one, but the object will still be freed
as in the case of the datagram type in vmci_datagram_destroy_handle().
vmci_resource_table will still hold a pointer to this freed resource
leading to a use-after-free vulnerability.
