CVE-2023-52879	tracing: Have trace_event_file have ref counters Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Have trace_event_file have ref counters The following can crash the kernel: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # echo 'p:sched schedule' > kprobe_events # exec 5>>events/kprobes/sched/enable # > kprobe_events # exec 5>&- The above commands: 1. Change directory to the tracefs directory 2. Create a kprobe event (doesn't matter what one) 3. Open bash file descriptor 5 on the enable file of the kprobe event 4. Delete the kprobe event (removes the files too) 5. Close the bash file descriptor 5 The above causes a crash! BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000028 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 0 P4D 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 6 PID: 877 Comm: bash Not tainted 6.5.0-rc4-test-00008-g2c6b6b1029d4-dirty #186 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.2-debian-1.16.2-1 04/01/2014 RIP: 0010:tracing_release_file_tr+0xc/0x50 What happens here is that the kprobe event creates a trace_event_file "file" descriptor that represents the file in tracefs to the event. It maintains state of the event (is it enabled for the given instance?). Opening the "enable" file gets a reference to the event "file" descriptor via the open file descriptor. When the kprobe event is deleted, the file is also deleted from the tracefs system which also frees the event "file" descriptor. But as the tracefs file is...

CVE-2023-52878	can: dev: can_put_echo_skb(): don't crash kernel if can_priv::echo_skb is accessed out of bounds Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: dev: can_put_echo_skb(): don't crash kernel if can_priv::echo_skb is accessed out of bounds If the "struct can_priv::echoo_skb" is accessed out of bounds, this would cause a kernel crash. Instead, issue a meaningful warning message and return with an error. EPSS Score: 0.05% Source: CVE December 20th, 2024 (5 months ago)
CVE-2023-52877	usb: typec: tcpm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in tcpm_pd_svdm() Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: typec: tcpm: Fix NULL pointer dereference in tcpm_pd_svdm() It is possible that typec_register_partner() returns ERR_PTR on failure.

CVE-2023-52874	x86/tdx: Zero out the missing RSI in TDX_HYPERCALL macro Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/tdx: Zero out the missing RSI in TDX_HYPERCALL macro In the TDX_HYPERCALL asm, after the TDCALL instruction returns from the untrusted VMM, the registers that the TDX guest shares to the VMM need to be cleared to avoid speculative execution of VMM-provided values. RSI is specified in the bitmap of those registers, but it is missing when zeroing out those registers in the current TDX_HYPERCALL. It was there when it was originally added in commit 752d13305c78 ("x86/tdx: Expand __tdx_hypercall() to handle more arguments"), but was later removed in commit 1e70c680375a ("x86/tdx: Do not corrupt frame-pointer in __tdx_hypercall()"), which was correct because %rsi is later restored in the "pop %rsi". However a later commit 7a3a401874be ("x86/tdx: Drop flags from __tdx_hypercall()") removed that "pop %rsi" but forgot to add the "xor %rsi, %rsi" back. Fix by adding it back.

CVE-2023-52872	tty: n_gsm: fix race condition in status line change on dead connections Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: n_gsm: fix race condition in status line change on dead connections gsm_cleanup_mux() cleans up the gsm by closing all DLCIs, stopping all timers, removing the virtual tty devices and clearing the data queues. This procedure, however, may cause subsequent changes of the virtual modem status lines of a DLCI. More data is being added the outgoing data queue and the deleted kick timer is restarted to handle this. At this point many resources have already been removed by the cleanup procedure. Thus, a kernel panic occurs. Fix this by proving in gsm_modem_update() that the cleanup procedure has not been started and the mux is still alive. Note that writing to a virtual tty is already protected by checks against the DLCI specific connection state. EPSS Score: 0.05% Source: CVE December 20th, 2024 (5 months ago)
CVE-2023-52871	soc: qcom: llcc: Handle a second device without data corruption Description: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: soc: qcom: llcc: Handle a second device without data corruption Usually there is only one llcc device. But if there were a second, even a failed probe call would modify the global drv_data pointer. So check if drv_data is valid before overwriting it.
