Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In October 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: amd-pstate: add check for cpufreq_cpu_get's return value
cpufreq_cpu_get may return NULL. To avoid NULL-dereference check it
and return in case of error.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exec: don't WARN for racy path_noexec check
Both i_mode and noexec checks wrapped in WARN_ON stem from an artifact
of the previous implementation. They used to legitimately check for the
condition, but that got moved up in two commits:
633fb6ac3980 ("exec: move S_ISREG() check earlier")
0fd338b2d2cd ("exec: move path_noexec() check earlier")
Instead of being removed said checks are WARN_ON'ed instead, which
has some debug value.
However, the spurious path_noexec check is racy, resulting in
unwarranted warnings should someone race with setting the noexec flag.
One can note there is more to perm-checking whether execve is allowed
and none of the conditions are guaranteed to still hold after they were
tested for.
Additionally this does not validate whether the code path did any perm
checking to begin with -- it will pass if the inode happens to be
regular.
Keep the redundant path_noexec() check even though it's mindless
nonsense checking for guarantee that isn't given so drop the WARN.
Reword the commentary and do small tidy ups while here.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: Intel: soc-acpi-intel-rpl-match: add missing empty item
There is no links_num in struct snd_soc_acpi_mach {}, and we test
!link->num_adr as a condition to end the loop in hda_sdw_machine_select().
So an empty item in struct snd_soc_acpi_link_adr array is required.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
cpufreq: Avoid a bad reference count on CPU node
In the parse_perf_domain function, if the call to
of_parse_phandle_with_args returns an error, then the reference to the
CPU device node that was acquired at the start of the function would not
be properly decremented.
Address this by declaring the variable with the __free(device_node)
cleanup attribute.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix memory leak in exfat_load_bitmap()
If the first directory entry in the root directory is not a bitmap
directory entry, 'bh' will not be released and reassigned, which
will cause a memory leak.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix access to uninitialised lock in fc replay path
The following kernel trace can be triggered with fstest generic/629 when
executed against a filesystem with fast-commit feature enabled:
INFO: trying to register non-static key.
The code is fine but needs lockdep annotation, or maybe
you didn't initialize this object before use?
turning off the locking correctness validator.

In the replay path there's an attempt to lock sbi->s_bdev_wb_lock in
function ext4_check_bdev_write_error(). Unfortunately, at this point this
spinlock has not been initialized yet. Moving it's initialization to an
earlier point in __ext4_fill_super() fixes this splat.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: dax: fix overflowing extents beyond inode size when partially writing
The dax_iomap_rw() does two things in each iteration: map written blocks
and copy user data to blocks. If the process is killed by user(See signal
handling in dax_iomap_iter()), the copied data will be returned and added
on inode size, which means that the length of written extents may exceed
the inode size, then fsck will fail. An example is given as:
dd if=/dev/urandom of=file bs=4M count=1
dax_iomap_rw
iomap_iter // round 1
ext4_iomap_begin
ext4_iomap_alloc // allocate 0~2M extents(written flag)
dax_iomap_iter // copy 2M data
iomap_iter // round 2
iomap_iter_advance
iter->pos += iter->processed // iter->pos = 2M
ext4_iomap_begin
ext4_iomap_alloc // allocate 2~4M extents(written flag)
dax_iomap_iter
fatal_signal_pending
done = iter->pos - iocb->ki_pos // done = 2M
ext4_handle_inode_extension
ext4_update_inode_size // inode size = 2M
fsck reports: Inode 13, i_size is 2097152, should be 4194304. Fix?
Fix the problem by truncating extents if the written length is smaller
than expected.
