Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In December 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf: Fix UAF via mismatching bpf_prog/attachment RCU flavors
Uprobes always use bpf_prog_run_array_uprobe() under tasks-trace-RCU
protection. But it is possible to attach a non-sleepable BPF program to a
uprobe, and non-sleepable BPF programs are freed via normal RCU (see
__bpf_prog_put_noref()). This leads to UAF of the bpf_prog because a normal
RCU grace period does not imply a tasks-trace-RCU grace period.
Fix it by explicitly waiting for a tasks-trace-RCU grace period after
removing the attachment of a bpf_prog to a perf_event.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
acpi: nfit: vmalloc-out-of-bounds Read in acpi_nfit_ctl
Fix an issue detected by syzbot with KASAN:
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in cmd_to_func drivers/acpi/nfit/
core.c:416 [inline]
BUG: KASAN: vmalloc-out-of-bounds in acpi_nfit_ctl+0x20e8/0x24a0
drivers/acpi/nfit/core.c:459
The issue occurs in cmd_to_func when the call_pkg->nd_reserved2
array is accessed without verifying that call_pkg points to a buffer
that is appropriately sized as a struct nd_cmd_pkg. This can lead
to out-of-bounds access and undefined behavior if the buffer does not
have sufficient space.
To address this, a check was added in acpi_nfit_ctl() to ensure that
buf is not NULL and that buf_len is less than sizeof(*call_pkg)
before accessing it. This ensures safe access to the members of
call_pkg, including the nd_reserved2 array.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
wifi: nl80211: fix NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINK_ID off-by-one
Since the netlink attribute range validation provides inclusive
checking, the *max* of attribute NL80211_ATTR_MLO_LINK_ID should be
IEEE80211_MLD_MAX_NUM_LINKS - 1 otherwise causing an off-by-one.
One crash stack for demonstration:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf, sockmap: Fix race between element replace and close()
Element replace (with a socket different from the one stored) may race
with socket's close() link popping & unlinking. __sock_map_delete()
unconditionally unrefs the (wrong) element:
// set map[0] = s0
map_update_elem(map, 0, s0)
// drop fd of s0
close(s0)
sock_map_close()
lock_sock(sk) (s0!)
sock_map_remove_links(sk)
link = sk_psock_link_pop()
sock_map_unlink(sk, link)
sock_map_delete_from_link
// replace map[0] with s1
map_update_elem(map, 0, s1)
sock_map_update_elem
(s1!) lock_sock(sk)
sock_map_update_common
psock = sk_psock(sk)
spin_lock(&stab->lock)
osk = stab->sks[idx]
sock_map_add_link(..., &stab->sks[idx])
sock_map_unref(osk, &stab->sks[idx])
psock = sk_psock(osk)
sk_psock_put(sk, psock)
if (refcount_dec_and_test(&psock))
sk_psock_drop(sk, psock)
spin_unlock(&stab->lock)
unlock_sock(sk)
__sock_map_delete
spin_lock(&stab->lock)
sk = *psk // s1 replaced s0; sk == s1
if (!sk_test || sk_test == sk) // sk_test (s0) != sk (s1); no branch
sk = xchg(psk, NULL)
if (sk)
sock_map_unref(sk, psk) // unref s1; sks[idx] will dangle
psock = sk_psock(sk)
sk_psock_put(sk, psock)
if (refcount_dec_and_test())
sk_psock_drop(sk, psock)
spin_unlock(&stab->lock)
release_sock(sk)
Then close(map) enqueues bpf_map_free_deferred, which finally calls
sock_map_free(). This results in some refcount_t warnings along with
a KASAN splat [1].
Fix __sock_map_delete(), do not allow sock_map_unref() on elements that
may have been replaced.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
bpf,perf: Fix invalid prog_array access in perf_event_detach_bpf_prog
Syzbot reported [1] crash that happens for following tracing scenario:
- create tracepoint perf event with attr.inherit=1, attach it to the
process and set bpf program to it
- attached process forks -> chid creates inherited event
the new child event shares the parent's bpf program and tp_event
(hence prog_array) which is global for tracepoint
- exit both process and its child -> release both events
- first perf_event_detach_bpf_prog call will release tp_event->prog_array
and second perf_event_detach_bpf_prog will crash, because
tp_event->prog_array is NULL
The fix makes sure the perf_event_detach_bpf_prog checks prog_array
is valid before it tries to remove the bpf program from it.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amdkfd: Dereference null return value
In the function pqm_uninit there is a call-assignment of "pdd =
kfd_get_process_device_data" which could be null, and this value was
later dereferenced without checking.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Fix qi_batch NULL pointer with nested parent domain
The qi_batch is allocated when assigning cache tag for a domain. While
for nested parent domain, it is missed. Hence, when trying to map pages
to the nested parent, NULL dereference occurred. Also, there is potential
memleak since there is no lock around domain->qi_batch allocation.
To solve it, add a helper for qi_batch allocation, and call it in both
the __cache_tag_assign_domain() and __cache_tag_assign_parent_domain().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/vt-d: Remove cache tags before disabling ATS
The current implementation removes cache tags after disabling ATS,
leading to potential memory leaks and kernel crashes. Specifically,
CACHE_TAG_DEVTLB type cache tags may still remain in the list even
after the domain is freed, causing a use-after-free condition.
This issue really shows up when multiple VFs from different PFs
passed through to a single user-space process via vfio-pci. In such
cases, the kernel may crash with kernel messages like:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
usb: gadget: u_serial: Fix the issue that gs_start_io crashed due to accessing null pointer
Considering that in some extreme cases,
when u_serial driver is accessed by multiple threads,
Thread A is executing the open operation and calling the gs_open,
Thread B is executing the disconnect operation and calling the
gserial_disconnect function,The port->port_usb pointer will be set to NULL.
E.g.
Thread A Thread B
gs_open() gadget_unbind_driver()
gs_start_io() composite_disconnect()
gs_start_rx() gserial_disconnect()
... ...
spin_unlock(&port->port_lock)
status = usb_ep_queue() spin_lock(&port->port_lock)
spin_lock(&port->port_lock) port->port_usb = NULL
gs_free_requests(port->port_usb->in) spin_unlock(&port->port_lock)
Crash
This causes thread A to access a null pointer (port->port_usb is null)
when calling the gs_free_requests function, causing a crash.
If port_usb is NULL, the release request will be skipped as it
will be done by gserial_disconnect.
So add a null pointer check to gs_start_io before attempting
to access the value of the pointer port->port_usb.
