Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In November 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filemap: Fix bounds checking in filemap_read()
If the caller supplies an iocb->ki_pos value that is close to the
filesystem upper limit, and an iterator with a count that causes us to
overflow that limit, then filemap_read() enters an infinite loop.
This behaviour was discovered when testing xfstests generic/525 with the
"localio" optimisation for loopback NFS mounts.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
btrfs: reinitialize delayed ref list after deleting it from the list
At insert_delayed_ref() if we need to update the action of an existing
ref to BTRFS_DROP_DELAYED_REF, we delete the ref from its ref head's
ref_add_list using list_del(), which leaves the ref's add_list member
not reinitialized, as list_del() sets the next and prev members of the
list to LIST_POISON1 and LIST_POISON2, respectively.
If later we end up calling drop_delayed_ref() against the ref, which can
happen during merging or when destroying delayed refs due to a transaction
abort, we can trigger a crash since at drop_delayed_ref() we call
list_empty() against the ref's add_list, which returns false since
the list was not reinitialized after the list_del() and as a consequence
we call list_del() again at drop_delayed_ref(). This results in an
invalid list access since the next and prev members are set to poison
pointers, resulting in a splat if CONFIG_LIST_HARDENED and
CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST are set or invalid poison pointer dereferences
otherwise.
So fix this by deleting from the list with list_del_init() instead.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
idpf: avoid vport access in idpf_get_link_ksettings
When the device control plane is removed or the platform
running device control plane is rebooted, a reset is detected
on the driver. On driver reset, it releases the resources and
waits for the reset to complete. If the reset fails, it takes
the error path and releases the vport lock. At this time if the
monitoring tools tries to access link settings, it call traces
for accessing released vport pointer.
To avoid it, move link_speed_mbps to netdev_priv structure
which removes the dependency on vport pointer and the vport lock
in idpf_get_link_ksettings. Also use netif_carrier_ok()
to check the link status and adjust the offsetof to use link_up
instead of link_speed_mbps.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64/sve: Discard stale CPU state when handling SVE traps
The logic for handling SVE traps manipulates saved FPSIMD/SVE state
incorrectly, and a race with preemption can result in a task having
TIF_SVE set and TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE clear even though the live CPU state
is stale (e.g. with SVE traps enabled). This has been observed to result
in warnings from do_sve_acc() where SVE traps are not expected while
TIF_SVE is set:
| if (test_and_set_thread_flag(TIF_SVE))
| WARN_ON(1); /* SVE access shouldn't have trapped */
Warnings of this form have been reported intermittently, e.g.
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/CA+G9fYtEGe_DhY2Ms7+L7NKsLYUomGsgqpdBj+QwDLeSg=JhGg@mail.gmail.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/000000000000511e9a060ce5a45c@google.com/
The race can occur when the SVE trap handler is preempted before and
after manipulating the saved FPSIMD/SVE state, starting and ending on
the same CPU, e.g.
| void do_sve_acc(unsigned long esr, struct pt_regs *regs)
| {
| // Trap on CPU 0 with TIF_SVE clear, SVE traps enabled
| // task->fpsimd_cpu is 0.
| // per_cpu_ptr(&fpsimd_last_state, 0) is task.
|
| ...
|
| // Preempted; migrated from CPU 0 to CPU 1.
| // TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set.
|
| get_cpu_fpsimd_context();
|
| if (test_and_set_thread_flag(TIF_SVE))
| WARN_ON(1); /* SVE access shouldn't have trapped */
|
| sve_init_regs() {
| if (!test_thread_flag(TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE)) {
| ...
| } else {
| fpsimd_to_sve(current);
| current->thread.fp_type = FP_STATE_SVE;
| }
| }
|
| put_cpu_fpsimd_context();
|
| // Preempted; migrated from CPU 1 to CPU 0.
| // task->fpsimd_cpu is still 0
| // If per_cpu_ptr(&fpsimd_last_state, 0) is still task then:
| // - Stale HW state is reused (with SVE traps enabled)
| // - TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is cleared
| // - A return to userspace skips HW state restore
| }
Fix the case where the state is not live and TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set
by calling fpsimd_flush_task_state() to detach from the saved CPU
state. This ensures that a subsequent context switch will not reuse the
stale CPU state, and will instead set TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE, forcing the
new state to be reloaded from memory prior to a return to userspace.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: vertexcom: mse102x: Fix possible double free of TX skb
The scope of the TX skb is wider than just mse102x_tx_frame_spi(),
so in case the TX skb room needs to be expanded, we should free the
the temporary skb instead of the original skb. Otherwise the original
TX skb pointer would be freed again in mse102x_tx_work(), which leads
to crashes:

vsock/virtio: Initialization of the dangling pointer occurring in vsk->trans
During loopback communication, a dangling pointer can be created in
vsk->trans, potentially leading to a Use-After-Free condition. This
issue is resolved by initializing vsk->trans to NULL.

Reproducer uses faultinject facility to fail ocfs2_xa_remove() ->
ocfs2_xa_value_truncate() with -ENOMEM.
In this case the comment mentions that we can return 0 if
ocfs2_xa_cleanup_value_truncate() is going to wipe the entry
anyway. But the following 'rc' check is wrong and execution flow do
'ocfs2_xa_remove_entry(loc);' twice:
* 1st: in ocfs2_xa_cleanup_value_truncate();
* 2nd: returning back to ocfs2_xa_remove() instead of going to 'out'.
Fix this by skipping the 2nd removal of the same entry and making
syzkaller repro happy.

The "*cmd" variable can be controlled by the user via debugfs. That means
