Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nbd: fix race between timeout and normal completion
If request timetout is handled by nbd_requeue_cmd(), normal completion
has to be stopped for avoiding to complete this requeued request, other
use-after-free can be triggered.
Fix the race by clearing NBD_CMD_INFLIGHT in nbd_requeue_cmd(), meantime
make sure that cmd->lock is grabbed for clearing the flag and the
requeue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
x86/sgx: Fix deadlock in SGX NUMA node search
When the current node doesn't have an EPC section configured by firmware
and all other EPC sections are used up, CPU can get stuck inside the
while loop that looks for an available EPC page from remote nodes
indefinitely, leading to a soft lockup. Note how nid_of_current will
never be equal to nid in that while loop because nid_of_current is not
set in sgx_numa_mask.
Also worth mentioning is that it's perfectly fine for the firmware not
to setup an EPC section on a node. While setting up an EPC section on
each node can enhance performance, it is not a requirement for
functionality.
Rework the loop to start and end on *a* node that has SGX memory. This
avoids the deadlock looking for the current SGX-lacking node to show up
in the loop when it never will.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: set the cipher for secured NDP ranging
The cipher pointer is not set, but is derefereced trying to set its
content, which leads to a NULL pointer dereference.
Fix it by pointing to the cipher parameter before dereferencing.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
efistub/tpm: Use ACPI reclaim memory for event log to avoid corruption
The TPM event log table is a Linux specific construct, where the data
produced by the GetEventLog() boot service is cached in memory, and
passed on to the OS using an EFI configuration table.
The use of EFI_LOADER_DATA here results in the region being left
unreserved in the E820 memory map constructed by the EFI stub, and this
is the memory description that is passed on to the incoming kernel by
kexec, which is therefore unaware that the region should be reserved.
Even though the utility of the TPM2 event log after a kexec is
questionable, any corruption might send the parsing code off into the
weeds and crash the kernel. So let's use EFI_ACPI_RECLAIM_MEMORY
instead, which is always treated as reserved by the E820 conversion
logic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
f2fs: fix to check atomic_file in f2fs ioctl interfaces
Some f2fs ioctl interfaces like f2fs_ioc_set_pin_file(),
f2fs_move_file_range(), and f2fs_defragment_range() missed to
check atomic_write status, which may cause potential race issue,
fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: sysfs: validate return type of _STR method
Only buffer objects are valid return values of _STR.
If something else is returned description_show() will access invalid
memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix helper writes to read-only maps
Lonial found an issue that despite user- and BPF-side frozen BPF map
(like in case of .rodata), it was still possible to write into it from
a BPF program side through specific helpers having ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT}
as arguments.
In check_func_arg() when the argument is as mentioned, the meta->raw_mode
is never set. Later, check_helper_mem_access(), under the case of
PTR_TO_MAP_VALUE as register base type, it assumes BPF_READ for the
subsequent call to check_map_access_type() and given the BPF map is
read-only it succeeds.
The helpers really need to be annotated as ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} | MEM_UNINIT
when results are written into them as opposed to read out of them. The
latter indicates that it's okay to pass a pointer to uninitialized memory
as the memory is written to anyway.
However, ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} is a special case of ARG_PTR_TO_FIXED_SIZE_MEM
just with additional alignment requirement. So it is better to just get
rid of the ARG_PTR_TO_{LONG,INT} special cases altogether and reuse the
fixed size memory types. For this, add MEM_ALIGNED to additionally ensure
alignment given these helpers write directly into the args via *<ptr> = val.
The .arg*_size has been initialized reflecting the actual sizeof(*<ptr>).
MEM_ALIGNED can only be used in combination with MEM_FIXED_SIZE annotated
argument types, since in !MEM_FIXED_SIZE cases the verifier does not know
the buffer size a priori and therefore cannot blindly write *<ptr> = val.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powercap: intel_rapl: Fix off by one in get_rpi()
The rp->priv->rpi array is either rpi_msr or rpi_tpmi which have
NR_RAPL_PRIMITIVES number of elements. Thus the > needs to be >=
to prevent an off by one access.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/hns: Fix Use-After-Free of rsv_qp on HIP08
Currently rsv_qp is freed before ib_unregister_device() is called
on HIP08. During the time interval, users can still dereg MR and
rsv_qp will be used in this process, leading to a UAF. Move the
release of rsv_qp after calling ib_unregister_device() to fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: kirin: Fix buffer overflow in kirin_pcie_parse_port()
Within kirin_pcie_parse_port(), the pcie->num_slots is compared to
pcie->gpio_id_reset size (MAX_PCI_SLOTS) which is correct and would lead
to an overflow.
Thus, fix condition to pcie->num_slots + 1 >= MAX_PCI_SLOTS and move
pcie->num_slots increment below the if-statement to avoid out-of-bounds
array access.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
