Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In December 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
gpio: grgpio: Add NULL check in grgpio_probe
devm_kasprintf() can return a NULL pointer on failure,but this
returned value in grgpio_probe is not checked.
Add NULL check in grgpio_probe, to handle kernel NULL
pointer dereference error.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: avoid potential UAF in default_operstate()
syzbot reported an UAF in default_operstate() [1]
Issue is a race between device and netns dismantles.
After calling __rtnl_unlock() from netdev_run_todo(),
we can not assume the netns of each device is still alive.
Make sure the device is not in NETREG_UNREGISTERED state,
and add an ASSERT_RTNL() before the call to
__dev_get_by_index().
We might move this ASSERT_RTNL() in __dev_get_by_index()
in the future.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
geneve: do not assume mac header is set in geneve_xmit_skb()
We should not assume mac header is set in output path.
Use skb_eth_hdr() instead of eth_hdr() to fix the issue.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: ipset: Hold module reference while requesting a module
User space may unload ip_set.ko while it is itself requesting a set type
backend module, leading to a kernel crash. The race condition may be
provoked by inserting an mdelay() right after the nfnl_unlock() call.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_inner: incorrect percpu area handling under softirq
Softirq can interrupt ongoing packet from process context that is
walking over the percpu area that contains inner header offsets.
Disable bh and perform three checks before restoring the percpu inner
header offsets to validate that the percpu area is valid for this
skbuff:
1) If the NFT_PKTINFO_INNER_FULL flag is set on, then this skbuff
has already been parsed before for inner header fetching to
register.
2) Validate that the percpu area refers to this skbuff using the
skbuff pointer as a cookie. If there is a cookie mismatch, then
this skbuff needs to be parsed again.
3) Finally, validate if the percpu area refers to this tunnel type.
Only after these three checks the percpu area is restored to a on-stack
copy and bh is enabled again.
After inner header fetching, the on-stack copy is stored back to the
percpu area.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hsr: must allocate more bytes for RedBox support
Blamed commit forgot to change hsr_init_skb() to allocate
larger skb for RedBox case.
Indeed, send_hsr_supervision_frame() will add
two additional components (struct hsr_sup_tlv
and struct hsr_sup_payload)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: fix LGR and link use-after-free issue

It is caused by repeated release of LGR/link refcnt. One suspect is that
smc_conn_free() is called repeatedly because some smc_conn_free() from
server listening path are not protected by sock lock.
e.g.
Calls under socklock | smc_listen_work
-------------------------------------------------------
lock_sock(sk) | smc_conn_abort
smc_conn_free | \- smc_conn_free
\- smcr_link_put | \- smcr_link_put (duplicated)
release_sock(sk)
So here add sock lock protection in smc_listen_work() path, making it
exclusive with other connection operations.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/smc: initialize close_work early to avoid warning
We encountered a warning that close_work was canceled before
initialization.

? __kthread_cancel_work+0x50/0x50
ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30
This is because when smc_close_cancel_work is triggered, e.g. the RDMA
driver is rmmod and the LGR is terminated, the conn->close_work is
flushed before initialization, resulting in WARN_ON(!work->func).
__smc_lgr_terminate | smc_connect_{rdma|ism}
-------------------------------------------------------------
| smc_conn_create
| \- smc_lgr_register_conn
for conn in lgr->conns_all |
\- smc_conn_kill |
\- smc_close_active_abort |
\- smc_close_cancel_work |
\- cancel_work_sync |
\- __flush_work |
(close_work) |
| smc_close_init
| \- INIT_WORK(&close_work)
So fix this by initializing close_work before establishing the
connection.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tipc: Fix use-after-free of kernel socket in cleanup_bearer().
syzkaller reported a use-after-free of UDP kernel socket
in cleanup_bearer() without repro. [0][1]
When bearer_disable() calls tipc_udp_disable(), cleanup
of the UDP kernel socket is deferred by work calling
cleanup_bearer().
tipc_exit_net() waits for such works to finish by checking
tipc_net(net)->wq_count. However, the work decrements the
count too early before releasing the kernel socket,
unblocking cleanup_net() and resulting in use-after-free.
Let's move the decrement after releasing the socket in
cleanup_bearer().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
can: dev: can_set_termination(): allow sleeping GPIOs
In commit 6e86a1543c37 ("can: dev: provide optional GPIO based
termination support") GPIO based termination support was added.
For no particular reason that patch uses gpiod_set_value() to set the
GPIO. This leads to the following warning, if the systems uses a
sleeping GPIO, i.e. behind an I2C port expander:
| WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 379 at /drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c:3496 gpiod_set_value+0x50/0x6c
| CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 379 Comm: ip Not tainted 6.11.0-20241016-1 #1 823affae360cc91126e4d316d7a614a8bf86236c
Replace gpiod_set_value() by gpiod_set_value_cansleep() to allow the
use of sleeping GPIOs.
