Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: keystone: Fix if-statement expression in ks_pcie_quirk()
This code accidentally uses && where || was intended. It potentially
results in a NULL dereference.
Thus, fix the if-statement expression to use the correct condition.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nilfs2: fix potential oob read in nilfs_btree_check_delete()
The function nilfs_btree_check_delete(), which checks whether degeneration
to direct mapping occurs before deleting a b-tree entry, causes memory
access outside the block buffer when retrieving the maximum key if the
root node has no entries.
This does not usually happen because b-tree mappings with 0 child nodes
are never created by mkfs.nilfs2 or nilfs2 itself. However, it can happen
if the b-tree root node read from a device is configured that way, so fix
this potential issue by adding a check for that case.
