Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: cfg80211: fix buffer overflow in elem comparison
For vendor elements, the code here assumes that 5 octets
are present without checking. Since the element itself is
already checked to fit, we only need to check the length.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: m_can: pci: add missing m_can_class_free_dev() in probe/remove methods
In m_can_pci_remove() and error handling path of m_can_pci_probe(),
m_can_class_free_dev() should be called to free resource allocated by
m_can_class_allocate_dev(), otherwise there will be memleak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Fix use-after-free when reverting termination table
When having multiple dests with termination tables and second one
or afterwards fails the driver reverts usage of term tables but
doesn't reset the assignment in attr->dests[num_vport_dests].termtbl
which case a use-after-free when releasing the rule.
Fix by resetting the assignment of termtbl to null.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
e100: Fix possible use after free in e100_xmit_prepare
In e100_xmit_prepare(), if we can't map the skb, then return -ENOMEM, so
e100_xmit_frame() will return NETDEV_TX_BUSY and the upper layer will
resend the skb. But the skb is already freed, which will cause UAF bug
when the upper layer resends the skb.
Remove the harmful free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iavf: Fix error handling in iavf_init_module()
The iavf_init_module() won't destroy workqueue when pci_register_driver()
failed. Call destroy_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed to
prevent the resource leak.
Similar to the handling of u132_hcd_init in commit f276e002793c
("usb: u132-hcd: fix resource leak")

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ixgbevf: Fix resource leak in ixgbevf_init_module()
ixgbevf_init_module() won't destroy the workqueue created by
create_singlethread_workqueue() when pci_register_driver() failed. Add
destroy_workqueue() in fail path to prevent the resource leak.
Similar to the handling of u132_hcd_init in commit f276e002793c

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (ibmpex) Fix possible UAF when ibmpex_register_bmc() fails
Smatch report warning as follows:
drivers/hwmon/ibmpex.c:509 ibmpex_register_bmc() warn:
'&data->list' not removed from list
If ibmpex_find_sensors() fails in ibmpex_register_bmc(), data will
be freed, but data->list will not be removed from driver_data.bmc_data,
then list traversal may cause UAF.
Fix by removeing it from driver_data.bmc_data before free().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
libbpf: Handle size overflow for ringbuf mmap
The maximum size of ringbuf is 2GB on x86-64 host, so 2 * max_entries
will overflow u32 when mapping producer page and data pages. Only
casting max_entries to size_t is not enough, because for 32-bits
application on 64-bits kernel the size of read-only mmap region
also could overflow size_t.
So fixing it by casting the size of read-only mmap region into a __u64
and checking whether or not there will be overflow during mmap.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iio: health: afe4403: Fix oob read in afe4403_read_raw
KASAN report out-of-bounds read as follows:
BUG: KASAN: global-out-of-bounds in afe4403_read_raw+0x42e/0x4c0
Read of size 4 at addr ffffffffc02ac638 by task cat/279
Call Trace:
afe4403_read_raw
iio_read_channel_info
dev_attr_show
The buggy address belongs to the variable:
afe4403_channel_leds+0x18/0xffffffffffffe9e0
This issue can be reproduced by singe command:
$ cat /sys/bus/spi/devices/spi0.0/iio\:device0/in_intensity6_raw
The array size of afe4403_channel_leds is less than channels, so access
with chan->address cause OOB read in afe4403_read_raw. Fix it by moving
access before use it.

The array size of afe4404_channel_leds and afe4404_channel_offdacs
are less than channels, so access with chan->address cause OOB read
in afe4404_[read|write]_raw. Fix it by moving access before use them.
