Security Vulnerabilities
- CVEs Published In 2024
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: bcmasp: fix potential memory leak in bcmasp_xmit()
The bcmasp_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of mapping fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: systemport: fix potential memory leak in bcm_sysport_xmit()
The bcm_sysport_xmit() returns NETDEV_TX_OK without freeing skb
in case of dma_map_single() fails, add dev_kfree_skb() to fix it.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix a possible memory leak
In bnxt_re_setup_chip_ctx() when bnxt_qplib_map_db_bar() fails
driver is not freeing the memory allocated for "rdev->chip_ctx".
When using IPAuthenticationProvider in ZooKeeper Admin Server there is a possibility of Authentication Bypass by Spoofing -- this only impacts IP based authentication implemented in ZooKeeper Admin Server. Default configuration of client's IP address detection in IPAuthenticationProvider, which uses HTTP request headers, is weak and allows an attacker to bypass authentication via spoofing client's IP address in request headers. Default configuration honors X-Forwarded-For HTTP header to read client's IP address. X-Forwarded-For request header is mainly used by proxy servers to identify the client and can be easily spoofed by an attacker pretending that the request comes from a different IP address. Admin Server commands, such as snapshot and restore arbitrarily can be executed on successful exploitation which could potentially lead to information leakage or service availability issues. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.9.3, which fixes this issue.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netdevsim: use cond_resched() in nsim_dev_trap_report_work()
I am still seeing many syzbot reports hinting that syzbot
might fool nsim_dev_trap_report_work() with hundreds of ports [1]
Lets use cond_resched(), and system_unbound_wq
instead of implicit system_wq.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/msm: Avoid NULL dereference in msm_disp_state_print_regs()
If the allocation in msm_disp_state_dump_regs() failed then
`block->state` can be NULL. The msm_disp_state_print_regs() function
_does_ have code to try to handle it with:
if (*reg)
dump_addr = *reg;
...but since "dump_addr" is initialized to NULL the above is actually
a noop. The code then goes on to dereference `dump_addr`.
Make the function print "Registers not stored" when it sees a NULL to
solve this. Since we're touching the code, fix
msm_disp_state_print_regs() not to pointlessly take a double-pointer
and properly mark the pointer as `const`.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/bnxt_re: Avoid CPU lockups due fifo occupancy check loop
Driver waits indefinitely for the fifo occupancy to go below a threshold
as soon as the pacing interrupt is received. This can cause soft lockup on
one of the processors, if the rate of DB is very high.
Add a loop count for FPGA and exit the __wait_for_fifo_occupancy_below_th
if the loop is taking more time. Pacing will be continuing until the
occupancy is below the threshold. This is ensured by the checks in
bnxt_re_pacing_timer_exp and further scheduling the work for pacing based
on the fifo occupancy.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
RDMA/bnxt_re: Fix out of bound check
Driver exports pacing stats only on GenP5 and P7 adapters. But while
parsing the pacing stats, driver has a check for "rdev->dbr_pacing". This
caused a trace when KASAN is enabled.
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in bnxt_re_get_hw_stats+0x2b6a/0x2e00 [bnxt_re]
Write of size 8 at addr ffff8885942a6340 by task modprobe/4809
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
firmware: arm_scmi: Fix the double free in scmi_debugfs_common_setup()
Clang static checker(scan-build) throws below warning:
| drivers/firmware/arm_scmi/driver.c:line 2915, column 2
| Attempt to free released memory.
When devm_add_action_or_reset() fails, scmi_debugfs_common_cleanup()
will run twice which causes double free of 'dbg->name'.
Remove the redundant scmi_debugfs_common_cleanup() to fix this problem.
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ALSA: hda/cs8409: Fix possible NULL dereference
If snd_hda_gen_add_kctl fails to allocate memory and returns NULL, then
NULL pointer dereference will occur in the next line.
Since dolphin_fixups function is a hda_fixup function which is not supposed
to return any errors, add simple check before dereference, ignore the fail.
