Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In November 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

Fixed deleating of a non-resident attribute in ntfs_create_inode()
rollback.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Additional check in ni_clear()
Checking of NTFS_FLAGS_LOG_REPLAYING added to prevent access to
uninitialized bitmap during replay process.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Fix possible deadlock in mi_read
Mutex lock with another subclass used in ni_lock_dir().
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Add rough attr alloc_size check
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs/ntfs3: Check if more than chunk-size bytes are written
A incorrectly formatted chunk may decompress into
more than LZNT_CHUNK_SIZE bytes and a index out of bounds
will occur in s_max_off.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ntfs3: Add bounds checking to mi_enum_attr()
Added bounds checking to make sure that every attr don't stray beyond
valid memory region.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ACPI: CPPC: Make rmw_lock a raw_spin_lock
The following BUG was triggered:

sugov_update_shared() locks a raw_spinlock while cpc_write() locks a
spinlock.
To have a correct wait-type order, update rmw_lock to a raw spinlock and
ensure that interrupts will be disabled on the CPU holding it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fsdax: dax_unshare_iter needs to copy entire blocks
The code that copies data from srcmap to iomap in dax_unshare_iter is
very very broken, which bfoster's recent fsx changes have exposed.
If the pos and len passed to dax_file_unshare are not aligned to an
fsblock boundary, the iter pos and length in the _iter function will
reflect this unalignment.
dax_iomap_direct_access always returns a pointer to the start of the
kmapped fsdax page, even if its pos argument is in the middle of that
page. This is catastrophic for data integrity when iter->pos is not
aligned to a page, because daddr/saddr do not point to the same byte in
the file as iter->pos. Hence we corrupt user data by copying it to the
wrong place.
If iter->pos + iomap_length() in the _iter function not aligned to a
page, then we fail to copy a full block, and only partially populate the
destination block. This is catastrophic for data confidentiality
because we expose stale pmem contents.
Fix both of these issues by aligning copy_pos/copy_len to a page
boundary (remember, this is fsdax so 1 fsblock == 1 base page) so that
we always copy full blocks.
We're not done yet -- there's no call to invalidate_inode_pages2_range,
so programs that have the file range mmap'd will continue accessing the
old memory mapping after the file metadata updates have completed.
Be careful with the return value -- if the unshare succeeds, we still
need to return the number of bytes that the iomap iter thinks we're
operating on.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_payload: sanitize offset and length before calling skb_checksum()
If access to offset + length is larger than the skbuff length, then
skb_checksum() triggers BUG_ON().
skb_checksum() internally subtracts the length parameter while iterating
over skbuff, BUG_ON(len) at the end of it checks that the expected
length to be included in the checksum calculation is fully consumed.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mlxsw: spectrum_ipip: Fix memory leak when changing remote IPv6 address
The device stores IPv6 addresses that are used for encapsulation in
linear memory that is managed by the driver.
Changing the remote address of an ip6gre net device never worked
properly, but since cited commit the following reproducer [1] would
result in a warning [2] and a memory leak [3]. The problem is that the
new remote address is never added by the driver to its hash table (and
therefore the device) and the old address is never removed from it.
Fix by programming the new address when the configuration of the ip6gre
net device changes and removing the old one. If the address did not
change, then the above would result in increasing the reference count of
the address and then decreasing it.
