Security Vulnerabilities - CVEs Published In December 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ad7780: fix division by zero in ad7780_write_raw()
In the ad7780_write_raw() , val2 can be zero, which might lead to a
division by zero error in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(). The ad7780_write_raw()
is based on iio_info's write_raw. While val is explicitly declared that
can be zero (in read mode), val2 is not specified to be non-zero.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
iommu/arm-smmu: Defer probe of clients after smmu device bound
Null pointer dereference occurs due to a race between smmu
driver probe and client driver probe, when of_dma_configure()
for client is called after the iommu_device_register() for smmu driver
probe has executed but before the driver_bound() for smmu driver
has been called.
Following is how the race occurs:
T1:Smmu device probe T2: Client device probe
really_probe()
arm_smmu_device_probe()
iommu_device_register()
really_probe()
platform_dma_configure()
of_dma_configure()
of_dma_configure_id()
of_iommu_configure()
iommu_probe_device()
iommu_init_device()
arm_smmu_probe_device()
arm_smmu_get_by_fwnode()
driver_find_device_by_fwnode()
driver_find_device()
next_device()
klist_next()
/* null ptr
assigned to smmu */
/* null ptr dereference
while smmu->streamid_mask */
driver_bound()
klist_add_tail()
When this null smmu pointer is dereferenced later in
arm_smmu_probe_device, the device crashes.
Fix this by deferring the probe of the client device
until the smmu device has bound to the arm smmu driver.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter
When executing the following command:
# echo "write*:mod:ext3" > /sys/kernel/tracing/stack_trace_filter
The current mod command causes a null pointer dereference. While commit
0f17976568b3f ("ftrace: Fix regression with module command in stack_trace_filter")
has addressed part of the issue, it left a corner case unhandled, which still
results in a kernel crash.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix memleak of proc->delivered_freeze
If a freeze notification is cleared with BC_CLEAR_FREEZE_NOTIFICATION
before calling binder_freeze_notification_done(), then it is detached
from its reference (e.g. ref->freeze) but the work remains queued in
proc->delivered_freeze. This leads to a memory leak when the process
exits as any pending entries in proc->delivered_freeze are not freed:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix freeze UAF in binder_release_work()
When a binder reference is cleaned up, any freeze work queued in the
associated process should also be removed. Otherwise, the reference is
freed while its ref->freeze.work is still queued in proc->work leading
to a use-after-free issue as shown by the following KASAN report:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
binder: fix OOB in binder_add_freeze_work()
In binder_add_freeze_work() we iterate over the proc->nodes with the
proc->inner_lock held. However, this lock is temporarily dropped to
acquire the node->lock first (lock nesting order). This can race with
binder_deferred_release() which removes the nodes from the proc->nodes
rbtree and adds them into binder_dead_nodes list. This leads to a broken
iteration in binder_add_freeze_work() as rb_next() will use data from
binder_dead_nodes, triggering an out-of-bounds access:

The buggy address belongs to the variable:
binder_dead_nodes+0x10/0x40
[...]
==================================================================
This is possible because proc->nodes (rbtree) and binder_dead_nodes
(list) share entries in binder_node through a union:
struct binder_node {
[...]
union {
struct rb_node rb_node;
struct hlist_node dead_node;
};
Fix the race by checking that the proc is still alive. If not, simply
break out of the iteration.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
nfsd: make sure exp active before svc_export_show
The function `e_show` was called with protection from RCU. This only
ensures that `exp` will not be freed. Therefore, the reference count for
`exp` can drop to zero, which will trigger a refcount use-after-free
warning when `exp_get` is called. To resolve this issue, use
`cache_get_rcu` to ensure that `exp` remains active.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI: endpoint: Fix PCI domain ID release in pci_epc_destroy()
pci_epc_destroy() invokes pci_bus_release_domain_nr() to release the PCI
domain ID, but there are two issues:
- 'epc->dev' is passed to pci_bus_release_domain_nr() which was already
freed by device_unregister(), leading to a use-after-free issue.
- Domain ID corresponds to the EPC device parent, so passing 'epc->dev'
is also wrong.
Fix these issues by passing 'epc->dev.parent' to
pci_bus_release_domain_nr() and also do it before device_unregister().
