Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: amd8111: Fix PCI device reference count leak
for_each_pci_dev() is implemented by pci_get_device(). The comment of
pci_get_device() says that it will increase the reference count for the
returned pci_dev and also decrease the reference count for the input
pci_dev @from if it is not NULL.
If we break for_each_pci_dev() loop with pdev not NULL, we need to call
pci_dev_put() to decrease the reference count. Add the missing
pci_dev_put() after the 'out' label. Since pci_dev_put() can handle NULL
input parameter, there is no problem for the 'Device not found' branch.
For the normal path, add pci_dev_put() in amd_gpio_exit().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: conntrack: fix using __this_cpu_add in preemptible
Currently in nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert(), when it fails in
nf_ct_ext_valid_pre/post(), NF_CT_STAT_INC() will be called in the
preemptible context, a call trace can be triggered:
BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: conntrack/1636

This patch is to fix it by changing to use NF_CT_STAT_INC_ATOMIC() for
nf_ct_ext_valid_pre/post() check in nf_conntrack_hash_check_insert(),
as well as nf_ct_ext_valid_post() in __nf_conntrack_confirm().
Note that nf_ct_ext_valid_pre() check in __nf_conntrack_confirm() is
safe to use NF_CT_STAT_INC(), as it's under local_bh_disable().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpiolib: fix memory leak in gpiochip_setup_dev()
Here is a backtrace report about memory leak detected in
gpiochip_setup_dev():
unreferenced object 0xffff88810b406400 (size 512):
comm "python3", pid 1682, jiffies 4295346908 (age 24.090s)
backtrace:
kmalloc_trace
device_add device_private_init at drivers/base/core.c:3361
(inlined by) device_add at drivers/base/core.c:3411
cdev_device_add
gpiolib_cdev_register
gpiochip_setup_dev
gpiochip_add_data_with_key
gcdev_register() & gcdev_unregister() would call device_add() &
device_del() (no matter CONFIG_GPIO_CDEV is enabled or not) to
register/unregister device.
However, if device_add() succeeds, some resource (like
struct device_private allocated by device_private_init())
is not released by device_del().
Therefore, after device_add() succeeds by gcdev_register(), it
needs to call put_device() to release resource in the error handle
path.
Here we move forward the register of release function, and let it
release every piece of resource by put_device() instead of kfree().
While at it, fix another subtle issue, i.e. when gc->ngpio is equal
to 0, we still call kcalloc() and, in case of further error, kfree()
on the ZERO_PTR pointer, which is not NULL. It's not a bug per se,
but rather waste of the resources and potentially wrong expectation
about contents of the gdev->descs variable.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable_offload: fix using __this_cpu_add in preemptible
flow_offload_queue_work() can be called in workqueue without
bh disabled, like the call trace showed in my act_ct testing,
calling NF_FLOW_TABLE_STAT_INC() there would cause a call
trace:
BUG: using __this_cpu_add() in preemptible [00000000] code: kworker/u4:0/138560
caller is flow_offload_queue_work+0xec/0x1b0 [nf_flow_table]
Workqueue: act_ct_workqueue tcf_ct_flow_table_cleanup_work [act_ct]
Call Trace:
<TASK>

process_one_work+0x6a3/0x1030
worker_thread+0x8a/0xdf0
This patch fixes it by using NF_FLOW_TABLE_STAT_INC_ATOMIC()
instead in flow_offload_queue_work().
Note that for FLOW_CLS_REPLACE branch in flow_offload_queue_work(),
it may not be called in preemptible path, but it's good to use
NF_FLOW_TABLE_STAT_INC_ATOMIC() for all cases in
flow_offload_queue_work().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: af_can: fix NULL pointer dereference in can_rcv_filter
Analogue to commit 8aa59e355949 ("can: af_can: fix NULL pointer
dereference in can_rx_register()") we need to check for a missing
initialization of ml_priv in the receive path of CAN frames.
Since commit 4e096a18867a ("net: introduce CAN specific pointer in the
struct net_device") the check for dev->type to be ARPHRD_CAN is not
sufficient anymore since bonding or tun netdevices claim to be CAN
devices but do not initialize ml_priv accordingly.

If the size of the integer (unsigned n) is bigger than 32 in snto32(),
shift exponent will be too large for 32-bit type 'int', resulting in a
shift-out-of-bounds bug.
Fix this by adding a check on the size of the integer (unsigned n) in
snto32(). To add support for n greater than 32 bits, set n to 32, if n
is greater than 32.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: fix array index out of bound error in DCN32 DML
[Why&How]
LinkCapacitySupport array is indexed with the number of voltage states and
not the number of max DPPs. Fix the error by changing the array
declaration to use the correct (larger) array size of total number of
voltage states.
