Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In December 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: inet6: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in inet6_create()
sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk pointer to the provided sock
object. If inet6_create() fails later, the sk object is released, but the
sock object retains the dangling sk pointer, which may cause use-after-free
later.
Clear the sock sk pointer on error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: ieee802154: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in ieee802154_create()
sock_init_data() attaches the allocated sk object to the provided sock
object. If ieee802154_create() fails later, the allocated sk object is
freed, but the dangling pointer remains in the provided sock object, which
may allow use-after-free.
Clear the sk pointer in the sock object on error.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: af_can: do not leave a dangling sk pointer in can_create()
On error can_create() frees the allocated sk object, but sock_init_data()
has already attached it to the provided sock object. This will leave a
dangling sk pointer in the sock object and may cause use-after-free later.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: RFCOMM: avoid leaving dangling sk pointer in rfcomm_sock_alloc()
bt_sock_alloc() attaches allocated sk object to the provided sock object.
If rfcomm_dlc_alloc() fails, we release the sk object, but leave the
dangling pointer in the sock object, which may cause use-after-free.
Fix this by swapping calls to bt_sock_alloc() and rfcomm_dlc_alloc().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Bluetooth: L2CAP: do not leave dangling sk pointer on error in l2cap_sock_create()
bt_sock_alloc() allocates the sk object and attaches it to the provided
sock object. On error l2cap_sock_alloc() frees the sk object, but the
dangling pointer is still attached to the sock object, which may create
use-after-free in other code.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: hisi_sas: Create all dump files during debugfs initialization
For the current debugfs of hisi_sas, after user triggers dump, the
driver allocate memory space to save the register information and create
debugfs files to display the saved information. In this process, the
debugfs files created after each dump.
Therefore, when the dump is triggered while the driver is unbind, the
following hang occurs:

To fix this issue, create all directories and files during debugfs
initialization. In this way, the driver only needs to allocate memory
space to save information each time the user triggers dumping.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: brcmfmac: Fix oops due to NULL pointer dereference in brcmf_sdiod_sglist_rw()
This patch fixes a NULL pointer dereference bug in brcmfmac that occurs
when a high 'sd_sgentry_align' value applies (e.g. 512) and a lot of queued SKBs
are sent from the pkt queue.
The problem is the number of entries in the pre-allocated sgtable, it is
nents = max(rxglom_size, txglom_size) + max(rxglom_size, txglom_size) >> 4 + 1.
Given the default [rt]xglom_size=32 it's actually 35 which is too small.
Worst case, the pkt queue can end up with 64 SKBs. This occurs when a new SKB
is added for each original SKB if tailroom isn't enough to hold tail_pad.
At least one sg entry is needed for each SKB. So, eventually the "skb_queue_walk loop"
in brcmf_sdiod_sglist_rw may run out of sg entries. This makes sg_next return
NULL and this causes the oops.
The patch sets nents to max(rxglom_size, txglom_size) * 2 to be able handle
the worst-case.
Btw. this requires only 64-35=29 * 16 (or 20 if CONFIG_NEED_SG_DMA_LENGTH) = 464
additional bytes of memory.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
jfs: add a check to prevent array-index-out-of-bounds in dbAdjTree
When the value of lp is 0 at the beginning of the for loop, it will
become negative in the next assignment and we should bail out.
