Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix uninitialized pointer free on read_alloc_one_name() error
The function read_alloc_one_name() does not initialize the name field of
the passed fscrypt_str struct if kmalloc fails to allocate the
corresponding buffer. Thus, it is not guaranteed that
fscrypt_str.name is initialized when freeing it.
This is a follow-up to the linked patch that fixes the remaining
instances of the bug introduced by commit e43eec81c516 ("btrfs: use
struct qstr instead of name and namelen pairs").

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: fix uninitialized pointer free in add_inode_ref()
The add_inode_ref() function does not initialize the "name" struct when
it is declared. If any of the following calls to "read_one_inode()
returns NULL,
dir = read_one_inode(root, parent_objectid);
if (!dir) {
ret = -ENOENT;
goto out;
}
inode = read_one_inode(root, inode_objectid);
if (!inode) {
ret = -EIO;
goto out;
}
then "name.name" would be freed on "out" before being initialized.
out:
...
kfree(name.name);
This issue was reported by Coverity with CID 1526744.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: nuvoton: fix a double free in ma35_pinctrl_dt_node_to_map_func()
'new_map' is allocated using devm_* which takes care of freeing the
allocated data on device removal, call to
.dt_free_map = pinconf_generic_dt_free_map
double frees the map as pinconf_generic_dt_free_map() calls
pinctrl_utils_free_map().
Fix this by using kcalloc() instead of auto-managed devm_kcalloc().

This only happens in 32-bit mode when VERW based mitigations like MDS/RFDS
are enabled. This is because segment registers with an arbitrary user value
can result in #GP when executing VERW. Intel SDM vol. 2C documents the
following behavior for VERW instruction:
#GP(0) - If a memory operand effective address is outside the CS, DS, ES,
FS, or GS segment limit.
CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS macro executes VERW instruction before returning to user
space. Use %cs selector to reference VERW operand. This ensures VERW will
not #GP for an arbitrary user %ds.

[Analysis]
gsm_msg on the tx_ctrl_list or tx_data_list of gsm_mux
can be freed by multi threads through ioctl,which leads
to the occurrence of uaf. Protect it by gsm tx lock.

parport: Proper fix for array out-of-bounds access
The recent fix for array out-of-bounds accesses replaced sprintf()
calls blindly with snprintf(). However, since snprintf() returns the
would-be-printed size, not the actually output size, the length
calculation can still go over the given limit.
Use scnprintf() instead of snprintf(), which returns the actually
output letters, for addressing the potential out-of-bounds access
properly.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xhci: tegra: fix checked USB2 port number
If USB virtualizatoin is enabled, USB2 ports are shared between all
Virtual Functions. The USB2 port number owned by an USB2 root hub in
a Virtual Function may be less than total USB2 phy number supported
by the Tegra XUSB controller.
Using total USB2 phy number as port number to check all PORTSC values
would cause invalid memory access.
