Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
driver core: Fix a potential null-ptr-deref in module_add_driver()
Inject fault while probing of-fpga-region, if kasprintf() fails in
module_add_driver(), the second sysfs_remove_link() in exit path will cause
null-ptr-deref as below because kernfs_name_hash() will call strlen() with
NULL driver_name.
Fix it by releasing resources based on the exit path sequence.

As Christian Brauner pointed out [1]: the root cause is f2fs sets
SB_RDONLY flag in internal function, rather than setting the flag
covered w/ sb->s_umount semaphore via remount procedure, then below
race condition causes this bug:
- freeze_super()
- sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_WRITE)
- sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_PAGEFAULT)
- sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS)
- f2fs_handle_critical_error
- sb->s_flags |= SB_RDONLY
- thaw_super
- thaw_super_locked
- sb_rdonly() is true, so it skips
sb_freeze_unlock(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS)
- deactivate_locked_super
Since f2fs has almost the same logic as ext4 [2] when handling critical
error in filesystem if it mounts w/ errors=remount-ro option:
- set CP_ERROR_FLAG flag which indicates filesystem is stopped
- record errors to superblock
- set SB_RDONLY falg
Once we set CP_ERROR_FLAG flag, all writable interfaces can detect the
flag and stop any further updates on filesystem. So, it is safe to not
set SB_RDONLY flag, let's remove the logic and keep in line w/ ext4 [3].

Online repaire on corrupted directory in f2fs_lookup() can generate
dirty data/meta while racing w/ readonly remount, it may leave dirty
inode after filesystem becomes readonly, however, checkpoint() will
skips flushing dirty inode in a state of readonly mode, result in
above panic.
Let's get rid of online repaire in f2fs_lookup(), and leave the work
to fsck.f2fs.

The root cause is below race condition, it may cause use-after-free
issue in sbi->gc_th pointer.
- remount
- f2fs_remount
- f2fs_stop_gc_thread
- kfree(gc_th)
- f2fs_ioc_shutdown
- f2fs_do_shutdown
- f2fs_stop_gc_thread
- kthread_stop(gc_th->f2fs_gc_task)
: sbi->gc_thread = NULL;
We will call f2fs_do_shutdown() in two paths:
- for f2fs_ioc_shutdown() path, we should grab sb->s_umount semaphore
for fixing.
- for f2fs_shutdown() path, it's safe since caller has already grabbed
sb->s_umount semaphore.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: return -EINVAL when namelen is 0
When we have a corrupted main.sqlite in /var/lib/nfs/nfsdcld/, it may
result in namelen being 0, which will cause memdup_user() to return
ZERO_SIZE_PTR.
When we access the name.data that has been assigned the value of
ZERO_SIZE_PTR in nfs4_client_to_reclaim(), null pointer dereference is
triggered.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix use-after-free in bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach()
If bpf_link_prime() fails, bpf_uprobe_multi_link_attach() goes to the
error_free label and frees the array of bpf_uprobe's without calling
bpf_uprobe_unregister().
This leaks bpf_uprobe->uprobe and worse, this frees bpf_uprobe->consumer
without removing it from the uprobe->consumers list.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/hugetlb.c: fix UAF of vma in hugetlb fault pathway
Syzbot reports a UAF in hugetlb_fault(). This happens because
vmf_anon_prepare() could drop the per-VMA lock and allow the current VMA
to be freed before hugetlb_vma_unlock_read() is called.
We can fix this by using a modified version of vmf_anon_prepare() that
doesn't release the VMA lock on failure, and then release it ourselves
after hugetlb_vma_unlock_read().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: resolve memory leak from exfat_create_upcase_table()
If exfat_load_upcase_table reaches end and returns -EINVAL,
allocated memory doesn't get freed and while
exfat_load_default_upcase_table allocates more memory, leading to a
memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
icmp: change the order of rate limits
ICMP messages are ratelimited :
After the blamed commits, the two rate limiters are applied in this order:
1) host wide ratelimit (icmp_global_allow())
2) Per destination ratelimit (inetpeer based)
In order to avoid side-channels attacks, we need to apply
the per destination check first.
This patch makes the following change :
1) icmp_global_allow() checks if the host wide limit is reached.
But credits are not yet consumed. This is deferred to 3)
2) The per destination limit is checked/updated.
This might add a new node in inetpeer tree.
3) icmp_global_consume() consumes tokens if prior operations succeeded.
This means that host wide ratelimit is still effective
in keeping inetpeer tree small even under DDOS.
As a bonus, I removed icmp_global.lock as the fast path
can use a lock-free operation.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vfs: fix race between evice_inodes() and find_inode()&iput()
Hi, all
Recently I noticed a bug[1] in btrfs, after digged it into
and I believe it'a race in vfs.
Let's assume there's a inode (ie ino 261) with i_count 1 is
called by iput(), and there's a concurrent thread calling
generic_shutdown_super().
cpu0: cpu1:
iput() // i_count is 1
->spin_lock(inode)
->dec i_count to 0
->iput_final() generic_shutdown_super()
->__inode_add_lru() ->evict_inodes()
// cause some reason[2] ->if (atomic_read(inode->i_count)) continue;
// return before // inode 261 passed the above check
// list_lru_add_obj() // and then schedule out
->spin_unlock()
// note here: the inode 261
// was still at sb list and hash list,
// and I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE was not been set
btrfs_iget()
// after some function calls
->find_inode()
// found the above inode 261
->spin_lock(inode)
// check I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE
// and passed
->__iget()
->spin_unlock(inode) // schedule back
->spin_lock(inode)
// check (I_NEW|I_FREEING|I_WILL_FREE) flags,
// passed and set I_FREEING
iput() ->spin_unlock(inode)
->spin_lock(inode) ->evict()
// dec i_count to 0
->iput_final()
->spin_unlock()
->evict()
Now, we have two threads simultaneously evicting
the same inode, which may trigger the BUG(inode->i_state & I_CLEAR)
statement both within clear_inode() and iput().
To fix the bug, recheck the inode->i_count after holding i_lock.
Because in the most scenarios, the first check is valid, and
the overhead of spin_lock() can be reduced.
If there is any misunderstanding, please let me know, thanks.
[1]: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/000000000000eabe1d0619c48986@google.com/
[2]: The reason might be 1. SB_ACTIVE was removed or 2. mapping_shrinkable()
return false when I reproduced the bug.
