Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fuse: use exclusive lock when FUSE_I_CACHE_IO_MODE is set
This may be a typo. The comment has said shared locks are
not allowed when this bit is set. If using shared lock, the
wait in `fuse_file_cached_io_open` may be forever.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: seeq: Fix use after free vulnerability in ether3 Driver Due to Race Condition
In the ether3_probe function, a timer is initialized with a callback
function ether3_ledoff, bound to &prev(dev)->timer. Once the timer is
started, there is a risk of a race condition if the module or device
is removed, triggering the ether3_remove function to perform cleanup.
The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug is as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
| ether3_ledoff
ether3_remove |
free_netdev(dev); |
put_devic |
kfree(dev); |
| ether3_outw(priv(dev)->regs.config2 |= CFG2_CTRLO, REG_CONFIG2);
| // use dev
Fix it by ensuring that the timer is canceled before proceeding with
the cleanup in ether3_remove.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vhost_vdpa: assign irq bypass producer token correctly
We used to call irq_bypass_unregister_producer() in
vhost_vdpa_setup_vq_irq() which is problematic as we don't know if the
token pointer is still valid or not.
Actually, we use the eventfd_ctx as the token so the life cycle of the
token should be bound to the VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL instead of
vhost_vdpa_setup_vq_irq() which could be called by set_status().
Fixing this by setting up irq bypass producer's token when handling
VHOST_SET_VRING_CALL and un-registering the producer before calling
vhost_vring_ioctl() to prevent a possible use after free as eventfd
could have been released in vhost_vring_ioctl(). And such registering
and unregistering will only be done if DRIVER_OK is set.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/cxgb4: Added NULL check for lookup_atid
The lookup_atid() function can return NULL if the ATID is
invalid or does not exist in the identifier table, which
could lead to dereferencing a null pointer without a
check in the `act_establish()` and `act_open_rpl()` functions.
Add a NULL check to prevent null pointer dereferencing.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Use reserved copy engine for user binds on faulting devices
User binds map to engines with can fault, faults depend on user binds
completion, thus we can deadlock. Avoid this by using reserved copy
engine for user binds on faulting devices.
While we are here, normalize bind queue creation with a helper.
v2:
- Pass in extensions to bind queue creation (CI)
v3:
- s/resevered/reserved (Lucas)
- Fix NULL hwe check (Jonathan)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: hisilicon/qm - inject error before stopping queue
The master ooo cannot be completely closed when the
accelerator core reports memory error. Therefore, the driver
needs to inject the qm error to close the master ooo. Currently,
the qm error is injected after stopping queue, memory may be
released immediately after stopping queue, causing the device to
access the released memory. Therefore, error is injected to close master
ooo before stopping queue to ensure that the device does not access
the released memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drivers/perf: Fix ali_drw_pmu driver interrupt status clearing
The alibaba_uncore_pmu driver forgot to clear all interrupt status
in the interrupt processing function. After the PMU counter overflow
interrupt occurred, an interrupt storm occurred, causing the system
to hang.
Therefore, clear the correct interrupt status in the interrupt handling
function to fix it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
crypto: iaa - Fix potential use after free bug
The free_device_compression_mode(iaa_device, device_mode) function frees
"device_mode" but it iss passed to iaa_compression_modes[i]->free() a few
lines later resulting in a use after free.
The good news is that, so far as I can tell, nothing implements the
->free() function and the use after free happens in dead code. But, with
this fix, when something does implement it, we'll be ready. :)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfs: Delete subtree of 'fs/netfs' when netfs module exits
In netfs_init() or fscache_proc_init(), we create dentry under 'fs/netfs',
but in netfs_exit(), we only delete the proc entry of 'fs/netfs' without
deleting its subtree. This triggers the following WARNING:
==================================================================
remove_proc_entry: removing non-empty directory 'fs/netfs', leaking at least 'requests'
WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 566 at fs/proc/generic.c:717 remove_proc_entry+0x160/0x1c0

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bonding: Fix unnecessary warnings and logs from bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave()
syzbot reported a WARNING in bond_xdp_get_xmit_slave. To reproduce
this[1], one bond device (bond1) has xdpdrv, which increases
bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key. Another bond device (bond0) which is
unsupported by XDP but its slave (veth3) has xdpgeneric that returns
XDP_TX. This triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() from the xdp_master_redirect().
To reduce unnecessary warnings and improve log management, we need to
delete the WARN_ON_ONCE() and add ratelimit to the netdev_err().
[1] Steps to reproduce:
# Needs tx_xdp with return XDP_TX;
ip l add veth0 type veth peer veth1
ip l add veth3 type veth peer veth4
ip l add bond0 type bond mode 6 # BOND_MODE_ALB, unsupported by XDP
ip l add bond1 type bond # BOND_MODE_ROUNDROBIN by default
ip l set veth0 master bond1
ip l set bond1 up
# Increases bpf_master_redirect_enabled_key
ip l set dev bond1 xdpdrv object tx_xdp.o section xdp_tx
ip l set veth3 master bond0
ip l set bond0 up
ip l set veth4 up
# Triggers WARN_ON_ONCE() from the xdp_master_redirect()
ip l set veth3 xdpgeneric object tx_xdp.o section xdp_tx
