Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/fbdev-dma: Only cleanup deferred I/O if necessary
Commit 5a498d4d06d6 ("drm/fbdev-dma: Only install deferred I/O if
necessary") initializes deferred I/O only if it is used.
drm_fbdev_dma_fb_destroy() however calls fb_deferred_io_cleanup()
unconditionally with struct fb_info.fbdefio == NULL. KASAN with the
out-of-tree Apple silicon display driver posts following warning from
__flush_work() of a random struct work_struct instead of the expected
NULL pointer derefs.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: xtables: avoid NFPROTO_UNSPEC where needed
syzbot managed to call xt_cluster match via ebtables:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11 at net/netfilter/xt_cluster.c:72 xt_cluster_mt+0x196/0x780
[..]
ebt_do_table+0x174b/0x2a40
Module registers to NFPROTO_UNSPEC, but it assumes ipv4/ipv6 packet
processing. As this is only useful to restrict locally terminating
TCP/UDP traffic, register this for ipv4 and ipv6 family only.
Pablo points out that this is a general issue, direct users of the
set/getsockopt interface can call into targets/matches that were only
intended for use with ip(6)tables.
Check all UNSPEC matches and targets for similar issues:
- matches and targets are fine except if they assume skb_network_header()
is valid -- this is only true when called from inet layer: ip(6) stack
pulls the ip/ipv6 header into linear data area.
- targets that return XT_CONTINUE or other xtables verdicts must be
restricted too, they are incompatbile with the ebtables traverser, e.g.
EBT_CONTINUE is a completely different value than XT_CONTINUE.
Most matches/targets are changed to register for NFPROTO_IPV4/IPV6, as
they are provided for use by ip(6)tables.
The MARK target is also used by arptables, so register for NFPROTO_ARP too.
While at it, bail out if connbytes fails to enable the corresponding
conntrack family.
This change passes the selftests in iptables.git.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/sched: accept TCA_STAB only for root qdisc
Most qdiscs maintain their backlog using qdisc_pkt_len(skb)
on the assumption it is invariant between the enqueue()
and dequeue() handlers.
Unfortunately syzbot can crash a host rather easily using
a TBF + SFQ combination, with an STAB on SFQ [1]
We can't support TCA_STAB on arbitrary level, this would
require to maintain per-qdisc storage.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
kthread: unpark only parked kthread
Calling into kthread unparking unconditionally is mostly harmless when
the kthread is already unparked. The wake up is then simply ignored
because the target is not in TASK_PARKED state.
However if the kthread is per CPU, the wake up is preceded by a call
to kthread_bind() which expects the task to be inactive and in
TASK_PARKED state, which obviously isn't the case if it is unparked.
As a result, calling kthread_stop() on an unparked per-cpu kthread
triggers such a warning:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix improper handling of refcount in ice_sriov_set_msix_vec_count()
This patch addresses an issue with improper reference count handling in the
ice_sriov_set_msix_vec_count() function.
First, the function calls ice_get_vf_by_id(), which increments the
reference count of the vf pointer. If the subsequent call to
ice_get_vf_vsi() fails, the function currently returns an error without
decrementing the reference count of the vf pointer, leading to a reference
count leak. The correct behavior, as implemented in this patch, is to
decrement the reference count using ice_put_vf(vf) before returning an
error when vsi is NULL.
Second, the function calls ice_sriov_get_irqs(), which sets
vf->first_vector_idx. If this call returns a negative value, indicating an
error, the function returns an error without decrementing the reference
count of the vf pointer, resulting in another reference count leak. The
patch addresses this by adding a call to ice_put_vf(vf) before returning
an error when vf->first_vector_idx < 0.
This bug was identified by an experimental static analysis tool developed
by our team. The tool specializes in analyzing reference count operations
and identifying potential mismanagement of reference counts. In this case,
the tool flagged the missing decrement operation as a potential issue,
leading to this patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: Fix improper handling of refcount in ice_dpll_init_rclk_pins()
This patch addresses a reference count handling issue in the
ice_dpll_init_rclk_pins() function. The function calls ice_dpll_get_pins(),
which increments the reference count of the relevant resources. However,
if the condition WARN_ON((!vsi || !vsi->netdev)) is met, the function
currently returns an error without properly releasing the resources
acquired by ice_dpll_get_pins(), leading to a reference count leak.
To resolve this, the check has been moved to the top of the function. This
ensures that the function verifies the state before any resources are
acquired, avoiding the need for additional resource management in the
error path.
This bug was identified by an experimental static analysis tool developed
by our team. The tool specializes in analyzing reference count operations
and detecting potential issues where resources are not properly managed.
In this case, the tool flagged the missing release operation as a
potential problem, which led to the development of this patch.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
device-dax: correct pgoff align in dax_set_mapping()
pgoff should be aligned using ALIGN_DOWN() instead of ALIGN(). Otherwise,
vmf->address not aligned to fault_size will be aligned to the next
alignment, that can result in memory failure getting the wrong address.
It's a subtle situation that only can be observed in
page_mapped_in_vma() after the page is page fault handled by
dev_dax_huge_fault. Generally, there is little chance to perform
page_mapped_in_vma in dev-dax's page unless in specific error injection
to the dax device to trigger an MCE - memory-failure. In that case,
page_mapped_in_vma() will be triggered to determine which task is
accessing the failure address and kill that task in the end.
We used self-developed dax device (which is 2M aligned mapping) , to
perform error injection to random address. It turned out that error
injected to non-2M-aligned address was causing endless MCE until panic.
Because page_mapped_in_vma() kept resulting wrong address and the task
accessing the failure address was never killed properly:

It took us several weeks to pinpoint this problem, but we eventually
used bpftrace to trace the page fault and mce address and successfully
identified the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: phy: Remove LED entry from LEDs list on unregister
Commit c938ab4da0eb ("net: phy: Manual remove LEDs to ensure correct
ordering") correctly fixed a problem with using devm_ but missed
removing the LED entry from the LEDs list.
This cause kernel panic on specific scenario where the port for the PHY
is torn down and up and the kmod for the PHY is removed.
On setting the port down the first time, the assosiacted LEDs are
correctly unregistered. The associated kmod for the PHY is now removed.
The kmod is now added again and the port is now put up, the associated LED
are registered again.
On putting the port down again for the second time after these step, the
LED list now have 4 elements. With the first 2 already unregistered
previously and the 2 new one registered again.
This cause a kernel panic as the first 2 element should have been
removed.
Fix this by correctly removing the element when LED is unregistered.

net: Fix an unsafe loop on the list
The kernel may crash when deleting a genetlink family if there are still
listeners for that family:
Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1]
...
NIP [c000000000c080bc] netlink_update_socket_mc+0x3c/0xc0
LR [c000000000c0f764] __netlink_clear_multicast_users+0x74/0xc0
Call Trace:
__netlink_clear_multicast_users+0x74/0xc0
genl_unregister_family+0xd4/0x2d0
Change the unsafe loop on the list to a safe one, because inside the
loop there is an element removal from this list.
