Linux: >> Linux Kernel >> 2.6.25.10 Security Vulnerabilities
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
smb: client: fix use-after-free of signing key
Customers have reported use-after-free in @ses->auth_key.response with
SMB2.1 + sign mounts which occurs due to following race:
task A task B
cifs_mount()
dfs_mount_share()
get_session()
cifs_mount_get_session() cifs_send_recv()
cifs_get_smb_ses() compound_send_recv()
cifs_setup_session() smb2_setup_request()
kfree_sensitive() smb2_calc_signature()
crypto_shash_setkey() *UAF*
Fix this by ensuring that we have a valid @ses->auth_key.response by
checking whether @ses->ses_status is SES_GOOD or SES_EXITING with
@ses->ses_lock held. After commit 24a9799aa8ef ("smb: client: fix UAF
in smb2_reconnect_server()"), we made sure to call ->logoff() only
when @ses was known to be good (e.g. valid ->auth_key.response), so
it's safe to access signing key when @ses->ses_status == SES_EXITING.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: pcm: Add sanity NULL check for the default mmap fault handler
A driver might allow the mmap access before initializing its
runtime->dma_area properly. Add a proper NULL check before passing to
virt_to_page() for avoiding a panic.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSv4.0: Fix a use-after-free problem in the asynchronous open()
Yang Erkun reports that when two threads are opening files at the same
time, and are forced to abort before a reply is seen, then the call to
nfs_release_seqid() in nfs4_opendata_free() can result in a
use-after-free of the pointer to the defunct rpc task of the other
thread.
The fix is to ensure that if the RPC call is aborted before the call to
nfs_wait_on_sequence() is complete, then we must call nfs_release_seqid()
in nfs4_open_release() before the rpc_task is freed.

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

CVE-2024-53150
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: usb-audio: Fix out of bounds reads when finding clock sources
The current USB-audio driver code doesn't check bLength of each
descriptor at traversing for clock descriptors. That is, when a
device provides a bogus descriptor with a shorter bLength, the driver
might hit out-of-bounds reads.
For addressing it, this patch adds sanity checks to the validator
functions for the clock descriptor traversal. When the descriptor
length is shorter than expected, it's skipped in the loop.
For the clock source and clock multiplier descriptors, we can just
check bLength against the sizeof() of each descriptor type.
OTOH, the clock selector descriptor of UAC2 and UAC3 has an array
of bNrInPins elements and two more fields at its tail, hence those
have to be checked in addition to the sizeof() check.

Since an instance of 'struct kiocb' may be passed from the block layer
with 'private' field uninitialized, introduce 'ocfs2_iocb_init_rw_locked()'
and use it from where 'ocfs2_dio_end_io()' might take care, i.e. in
'ocfs2_file_read_iter()' and 'ocfs2_file_write_iter()'.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
NFSD: Prevent a potential integer overflow
If the tag length is >= U32_MAX - 3 then the "length + 4" addition
can result in an integer overflow. Address this by splitting the
decoding into several steps so that decode_cb_compound4res() does
not have to perform arithmetic on the unsafe length value.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
initramfs: avoid filename buffer overrun
The initramfs filename field is defined in
Documentation/driver-api/early-userspace/buffer-format.rst as:
37 cpio_file := ALGN(4) + cpio_header + filename + "\0" + ALGN(4) + data
...
55 ============= ================== =========================
56 Field name Field size Meaning
57 ============= ================== =========================
...
70 c_namesize 8 bytes Length of filename, including final \0
When extracting an initramfs cpio archive, the kernel's do_name() path
handler assumes a zero-terminated path at @collected, passing it
directly to filp_open() / init_mkdir() / init_mknod().
If a specially crafted cpio entry carries a non-zero-terminated filename
and is followed by uninitialized memory, then a file may be created with
trailing characters that represent the uninitialized memory. The ability
to create an initramfs entry would imply already having full control of
the system, so the buffer overrun shouldn't be considered a security
vulnerability.
Append the output of the following bash script to an existing initramfs
and observe any created /initramfs_test_fname_overrunAA* path. E.g.
./reproducer.sh | gzip >> /myinitramfs
It's easiest to observe non-zero uninitialized memory when the output is
gzipped, as it'll overflow the heap allocated @out_buf in __gunzip(),
rather than the initrd_start+initrd_size block.

---- reproducer.sh ----
Symlink filename fields handled in do_symlink() won't overrun past the
data segment, due to the explicit zero-termination of the symlink
target.
Fix filename buffer overrun by aborting the initramfs FSM if any cpio
entry doesn't carry a zero-terminator at the expected (name_len - 1)
offset.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/amd/display: Handle dml allocation failure to avoid crash
[Why]
In the case where a dml allocation fails for any reason, the
current state's dml contexts would no longer be valid. Then
subsequent calls dc_state_copy_internal would shallow copy
invalid memory and if the new state was released, a double
free would occur.
[How]
Reset dml pointers in new_state to NULL and avoid invalid
pointer

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
vdpa: solidrun: Fix UB bug with devres
In psnet_open_pf_bar() and snet_open_vf_bar() a string later passed to
pcim_iomap_regions() is placed on the stack. Neither
pcim_iomap_regions() nor the functions it calls copy that string.
Should the string later ever be used, this, consequently, causes
undefined behavior since the stack frame will by then have disappeared.
Fix the bug by allocating the strings on the heap through
devm_kasprintf().
