Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
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.

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.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: ops: Fix bounds check for _sx controls
For _sx controls the semantics of the max field is not the usual one, max
is the number of steps rather than the maximum value. This means that our
check in snd_soc_put_volsw_sx() needs to just check against the maximum
value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Free buffers when a used dynamic event is removed
After 65536 dynamic events have been added and removed, the "type" field
of the event then uses the first type number that is available (not
currently used by other events). A type number is the identifier of the
binary blobs in the tracing ring buffer (known as events) to map them to
logic that can parse the binary blob.
The issue is that if a dynamic event (like a kprobe event) is traced and
is in the ring buffer, and then that event is removed (because it is
dynamic, which means it can be created and destroyed), if another dynamic
event is created that has the same number that new event's logic on
parsing the binary blob will be used.
To show how this can be an issue, the following can crash the kernel:
# cd /sys/kernel/tracing
# for i in `seq 65536`; do
echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 $arg1:u32' > kprobe_events
# done
For every iteration of the above, the writing to the kprobe_events will
remove the old event and create a new one (with the same format) and
increase the type number to the next available on until the type number
reaches over 65535 which is the max number for the 16 bit type. After it
reaches that number, the logic to allocate a new number simply looks for
the next available number. When an dynamic event is removed, that number
is then available to be reused by the next dynamic event created. That is,
once the above reaches the max number, the number assigned to the event in
that loop will remain the same.
Now that means deleting one dynamic event and created another will reuse
the previous events type number. This is where bad things can happen.
After the above loop finishes, the kprobes/foo event which reads the
do_sys_openat2 function call's first parameter as an integer.
# echo 1 > kprobes/foo/enable
# cat /etc/passwd > /dev/null
# cat trace
cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849603: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196
cat-2211 [005] .... 2007.849620: foo: (do_sys_openat2+0x0/0x130) arg1=4294967196

# echo 0 > kprobes/foo/enable
Now if we delete the kprobe and create a new one that reads a string:
# echo 'p:kprobes/foo do_sys_openat2 +0($arg2):string' > kprobe_events
And now we can the trace:
# cat trace
