Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hisilicon: Fix potential use-after-free in hix5hd2_rx()
The skb is delivered to napi_gro_receive() which may free it, after
calling this, dereferencing skb may trigger use-after-free.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: mdio: fix unbalanced fwnode reference count in mdio_device_release()
There is warning report about of_node refcount leak
while probing mdio device:
OF: ERROR: memory leak, expected refcount 1 instead of 2,
of_node_get()/of_node_put() unbalanced - destroy cset entry:
attach overlay node /spi/soc@0/mdio@710700c0/ethernet@4
In of_mdiobus_register_device(), we increase fwnode refcount
by fwnode_handle_get() before associating the of_node with
mdio device, but it has never been decreased in normal path.
Since that, in mdio_device_release(), it needs to call
fwnode_handle_put() in addition instead of calling kfree()
directly.
After above, just calling mdio_device_free() in the error handle
path of of_mdiobus_register_device() is enough to keep the
refcount balanced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
udf: Fix preallocation discarding at indirect extent boundary
When preallocation extent is the first one in the extent block, the
code would corrupt extent tree header instead. Fix the problem and use
udf_delete_aext() for deleting extent to avoid some code duplication.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: Fix u8 overflow
By keep sending L2CAP_CONF_REQ packets, chan->num_conf_rsp increases
multiple times and eventually it will wrap around the maximum number
(i.e., 255).
This patch prevents this by adding a boundary check with
L2CAP_MAX_CONF_RSP

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: uvc: Prevent buffer overflow in setup handler
Setup function uvc_function_setup permits control transfer
requests with up to 64 bytes of payload (UVC_MAX_REQUEST_SIZE),
data stage handler for OUT transfer uses memcpy to copy req->actual
bytes to uvc_event->data.data array of size 60. This may result
in an overflow of 4 bytes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
igb: Initialize mailbox message for VF reset
When a MAC address is not assigned to the VF, that portion of the message
sent to the VF is not set. The memory, however, is allocated from the
stack meaning that information may be leaked to the VM. Initialize the
message buffer to 0 so that no information is passed to the VM in this
case.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
perf: Fix perf_pending_task() UaF
Per syzbot it is possible for perf_pending_task() to run after the
event is free()'d. There are two related but distinct cases:
- the task_work was already queued before destroying the event;
- destroying the event itself queues the task_work.
The first cannot be solved using task_work_cancel() since
perf_release() itself might be called from a task_work (____fput),
which means the current->task_works list is already empty and
task_work_cancel() won't be able to find the perf_pending_task()
entry.
The simplest alternative is extending the perf_event lifetime to cover
the task_work.
The second is just silly, queueing a task_work while you know the
event is going away makes no sense and is easily avoided by
re-arranging how the event is marked STATE_DEAD and ensuring it goes
through STATE_OFF on the way down.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: ops: Check bounds for second channel in snd_soc_put_volsw_sx()
The bounds checks in snd_soc_put_volsw_sx() are only being applied to the
first channel, meaning it is possible to write out of bounds values to the
second channel in stereo controls. Add appropriate checks.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: mt7621: Add sentinel to quirks table
Current driver is missing a sentinel in the struct soc_device_attribute
array, which causes an oops when assessed by the
soc_device_match(mt7621_pcie_quirks_match) call.
This was only exposed once the CONFIG_SOC_MT7621 mt7621 soc_dev_attr
was fixed to register the SOC as a device, in:
commit 7c18b64bba3b ("mips: ralink: mt7621: do not use kzalloc too early")
Fix it by adding the required sentinel.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
rtc: cmos: Fix event handler registration ordering issue
Because acpi_install_fixed_event_handler() enables the event
automatically on success, it is incorrect to call it before the
handler routine passed to it is ready to handle events.
Unfortunately, the rtc-cmos driver does exactly the incorrect thing
by calling cmos_wake_setup(), which passes rtc_handler() to
acpi_install_fixed_event_handler(), before cmos_do_probe(), because
rtc_handler() uses dev_get_drvdata() to get to the cmos object
pointer and the driver data pointer is only populated in
cmos_do_probe().
This leads to a NULL pointer dereference in rtc_handler() on boot
if the RTC fixed event happens to be active at the init time.
To address this issue, change the initialization ordering of the
driver so that cmos_wake_setup() is always called after a successful
cmos_do_probe() call.
While at it, change cmos_pnp_probe() to call cmos_do_probe() after
the initial if () statement used for computing the IRQ argument to
be passed to cmos_do_probe() which is cleaner than calling it in
each branch of that if () (local variable "irq" can be of type int,
because it is passed to that function as an argument of type int).
Note that commit 6492fed7d8c9 ("rtc: rtc-cmos: Do not check
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0") caused this issue to affect a larger number
of systems, because previously it only affected systems with
ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 set, but it is present regardless of that
commit.
