CVE-2024-43891 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
tracing: Have format file honor EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED
When eventfs was introduced, special care had to be done to coordinate the
freeing of the file meta data with the files that are exposed to user
space. The file meta data would have a ref count that is set when the file
is created and would be decremented and freed after the last user that
opened the file closed it. When the file meta data was to be freed, it
would set a flag (EVENT_FILE_FL_FREED) to denote that the file is freed,
and any new references made (like new opens or reads) would fail as it is
marked freed. This allowed other meta data to be freed after this flag was
set (under the event_mutex).
All the files that were dynamically created in the events directory had a
pointer to the file meta data and would call event_release() when the last
reference to the user space file was closed. This would be the time that it
is safe to free the file meta data.
A shortcut was made for the "format" file. It's i_private would point to
the "call" entry directly and not point to the file's meta data. This is
because all format files are the same for the same "call", so it was
thought there was no reason to differentiate them. The other files
maintain state (like the "enable", "trigger", etc). But this meant if the
file were to disappear, the "format" file would be unaware of it.
This caused a race that could be trigger via the user_events test (that
wou...

CVE-2024-43887 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/tcp: Disable TCP-AO static key after RCU grace period
The lifetime of TCP-AO static_key is the same as the last
tcp_ao_info. On the socket destruction tcp_ao_info ceases to be
with RCU grace period, while tcp-ao static branch is currently deferred
destructed. The static key definition is
: DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_DEFERRED_FALSE(tcp_ao_needed, HZ);
which means that if RCU grace period is delayed by more than a second
and tcp_ao_needed is in the process of disablement, other CPUs may
yet see tcp_ao_info which atent dead, but soon-to-be.
And that breaks the assumption of static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled().
See the comment near the definition:
> * The caller must make sure that the static key can't get disabled while
> * in this function. It doesn't patch jump labels, only adds a user to
> * an already enabled static key.
Originally it was introduced in commit eb8c507296f6 ("jump_label:
Prevent key->enabled int overflow"), which is needed for the atomic
contexts, one of which would be the creation of a full socket from a
request socket. In that atomic context, it's known by the presence
of the key (md5/ao) that the static branch is already enabled.
So, the ref counter for that static branch is just incremented
instead of holding the proper mutex.
static_key_fast_inc_not_disabled() is just a helper for such usage
case. But it must not be used if the static branch could get disabled
in parallel as it's not pr...

CVE-2024-43862 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: wan: fsl_qmc_hdlc: Convert carrier_lock spinlock to a mutex
The carrier_lock spinlock protects the carrier detection. While it is
held, framer_get_status() is called which in turn takes a mutex.
This is not correct and can lead to a deadlock.
A run with PROVE_LOCKING enabled detected the issue:
[ BUG: Invalid wait context ]
...
c204ddbc (&framer->mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: framer_get_status+0x40/0x78
other info that might help us debug this:
context-{4:4}
2 locks held by ifconfig/146:
#0: c0926a38 (rtnl_mutex){+.+.}-{3:3}, at: devinet_ioctl+0x12c/0x664
#1: c2006a40 (&qmc_hdlc->carrier_lock){....}-{2:2}, at: qmc_hdlc_framer_set_carrier+0x30/0x98
Avoid the spinlock usage and convert carrier_lock to a mutex.

CVE-2024-43860 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
remoteproc: imx_rproc: Skip over memory region when node value is NULL
In imx_rproc_addr_init() "nph = of_count_phandle_with_args()" just counts
number of phandles. But phandles may be empty. So of_parse_phandle() in
the parsing loop (0 < a < nph) may return NULL which is later dereferenced.
Adjust this issue by adding NULL-return check.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

It is because inode.i_crypt_info is not initialized during below path:
- mount
- f2fs_fill_super
- f2fs_disable_checkpoint
- f2fs_gc
- f2fs_iget
- f2fs_truncate
So, let's relocate truncation of preallocated blocks to f2fs_file_open(),
after fscrypt_file_open().

CVE-2024-43856 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dma: fix call order in dmam_free_coherent
dmam_free_coherent() frees a DMA allocation, which makes the
freed vaddr available for reuse, then calls devres_destroy()
to remove and free the data structure used to track the DMA
allocation. Between the two calls, it is possible for a
concurrent task to make an allocation with the same vaddr
and add it to the devres list.
If this happens, there will be two entries in the devres list
with the same vaddr and devres_destroy() can free the wrong
entry, triggering the WARN_ON() in dmam_match.
Fix by destroying the devres entry before freeing the DMA
allocation.

CVE-2024-43828 |
Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ext4: fix infinite loop when replaying fast_commit
When doing fast_commit replay an infinite loop may occur due to an
uninitialized extent_status struct. ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole() does
not detect the replay and calls ext4_es_find_extent_range(), which will
return immediately without initializing the 'es' variable.
Because 'es' contains garbage, an integer overflow may happen causing an
infinite loop in this function, easily reproducible using fstest generic/039.
This commit fixes this issue by unconditionally initializing the structure
in function ext4_es_find_extent_range().
Thanks to Zhang Yi, for figuring out the real problem!

Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
scsi: lpfc: Fix a possible null pointer dereference
In function lpfc_xcvr_data_show, the memory allocation with kmalloc might
fail, thereby making rdp_context a null pointer. In the following context
and functions that use this pointer, there are dereferencing operations,
leading to null pointer dereference.
To fix this issue, a null pointer check should be added. If it is null,
use scnprintf to notify the user and return len.

Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
exfat: fix potential deadlock on __exfat_get_dentry_set
When accessing a file with more entries than ES_MAX_ENTRY_NUM, the bh-array
is allocated in __exfat_get_entry_set. The problem is that the bh-array is
allocated with GFP_KERNEL. It does not make sense. In the following cases,
a deadlock for sbi->s_lock between the two processes may occur.
