CVE-2022-48868 – dmaengine: idxd: Let probe fail when workqueue cannot be enabled
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-48868
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: Let probe fail when workqueue cannot be enabled The workqueue is enabled when the appropriate driver is loaded and disabled when the driver is removed. When the driver is removed it assumes that the workqueue was enabled successfully and proceeds to free allocations made during workqueue enabling. Failure during workqueue enabling does not prevent the driver from being loaded. This is because the error path within drv_enable_wq() returns success unless a second failure is encountered during the error path. By returning success it is possible to load the driver even if the workqueue cannot be enabled and allocations that do not exist are attempted to be freed during driver remove. Some examples of problematic flows: (a) idxd_dmaengine_drv_probe() -> drv_enable_wq() -> idxd_wq_request_irq(): In above flow, if idxd_wq_request_irq() fails then idxd_wq_unmap_portal() is called on error exit path, but drv_enable_wq() returns 0 because idxd_wq_disable() succeeds. The driver is thus loaded successfully. idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove()->drv_disable_wq()->idxd_wq_unmap_portal() Above flow on driver unload triggers the WARN in devm_iounmap() because the device resource has already been removed during error path of drv_enable_wq(). (b) idxd_dmaengine_drv_probe() -> drv_enable_wq() -> idxd_wq_request_irq(): In above flow, if idxd_wq_request_irq() fails then idxd_wq_init_percpu_ref() is never called to initialize the percpu counter, yet the driver loads successfully because drv_enable_wq() returns 0. idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove()->__idxd_wq_quiesce()->percpu_ref_kill(): Above flow on driver unload triggers a BUG when attempting to drop the initial ref of the uninitialized percpu ref: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010 Fix the drv_enable_wq() error path by returning the original error that indicates failure of workqueue enabling. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1f2bb40337f0df1d9af80793e9fdacff7706e654 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0f150134dd795ffcd60b798a85ab737d8d010fb7 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/99dc4520b74e7ca8e9dc9abe37a0b10b49467960 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b51b75f0604f17c0f6f3b6f68f1a521a5cc6b04f •
CVE-2022-48867 – dmaengine: idxd: Prevent use after free on completion memory
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2022-48867
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dmaengine: idxd: Prevent use after free on completion memory On driver unload any pending descriptors are flushed at the time the interrupt is freed: idxd_dmaengine_drv_remove() -> drv_disable_wq() -> idxd_wq_free_irq() -> idxd_flush_pending_descs(). If there are any descriptors present that need to be flushed this flow triggers a "not present" page fault as below: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ff391c97c70c9040 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page The address that triggers the fault is the address of the descriptor that was freed moments earlier via: drv_disable_wq()->idxd_wq_free_resources() Fix the use after free by freeing the descriptors after any possible usage. This is done after idxd_wq_reset() to ensure that the memory remains accessible during possible completion writes by the device. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/63c14ae6c161dec8ff3be49277edc75a769e054a https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b9e8e3fcfec625fc1c2f68f684448aeeb882625b https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1beeec45f9ac31eba52478379f70a5fa9c2ad005 •
CVE-2024-43882 – exec: Fix ToCToU between perm check and set-uid/gid usage
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-43882
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: exec: Fix ToCToU between perm check and set-uid/gid usage When opening a file for exec via do_filp_open(), permission checking is done against the file's metadata at that moment, and on success, a file pointer is passed back. Much later in the execve() code path, the file metadata (specifically mode, uid, and gid) is used to determine if/how to set the uid and gid. However, those values may have changed since the permissions check, meaning the execution may gain unintended privileges. For example, if a file could change permissions from executable and not set-id: ---------x 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target to set-id and non-executable: ---S------ 1 root root 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target it is possible to gain root privileges when execution should have been disallowed. While this race condition is rare in real-world scenarios, it has been observed (and proven exploitable) when package managers are updating the setuid bits of installed programs. Such files start with being world-executable but then are adjusted to be group-exec with a set-uid bit. For example, "chmod o-x,u+s target" makes "target" executable only by uid "root" and gid "cdrom", while also becoming setuid-root: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target becomes: -rwsr-xr-- 1 root cdrom 16048 Aug 7 13:16 target But racing the chmod means users without group "cdrom" membership can get the permission to execute "target" just before the chmod, and when the chmod finishes, the exec reaches brpm_fill_uid(), and performs the setuid to root, violating the expressed authorization of "only cdrom group members can setuid to root". Re-check that we still have execute permissions in case the metadata has changed. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d5c3c7e26275a2d83b894d30f7582a42853a958f https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/368f6985d46657b8b466a421dddcacd4051f7ada https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/15469d46ba34559bfe7e3de6659115778c624759 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9b424c5d4130d56312e2a3be17efb0928fec4d64 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f6cfc6bcfd5e1cf76115b6450516ea4c99897ae1 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d2a2a4714d80d09b0f8eb6438ab4224690b7121e https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/90dfbba89ad4f0d9c9744ecbb1adac4aa2ff4f3e https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f50733b45d865f91db90919f8311e2127 • CWE-367: Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition •
CVE-2024-43881 – wifi: ath12k: change DMA direction while mapping reinjected packets
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-43881
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: ath12k: change DMA direction while mapping reinjected packets For fragmented packets, ath12k reassembles each fragment as a normal packet and then reinjects it into HW ring. In this case, the DMA direction should be DMA_TO_DEVICE, not DMA_FROM_DEVICE. Otherwise, an invalid payload may be reinjected into the HW and subsequently delivered to the host. Given that arbitrary memory can be allocated to the skb buffer, knowledge about the data contained in the reinjected buffer is lacking. Consequently, there’s a risk of private information being leaked.

CVE-2024-43880 – mlxsw: spectrum_acl_erp: Fix object nesting warning
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-43880
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mlxsw: spectrum_acl_erp: Fix object nesting warning ACLs in Spectrum-2 and newer ASICs can reside in the algorithmic TCAM (A-TCAM) or in the ordinary circuit TCAM (C-TCAM). The former can contain more ACLs (i.e., tc filters), but the number of masks in each region (i.e., tc chain) is limited. In order to mitigate the effects of the above limitation, the device allows filters to share a single mask if their masks only differ in up to 8 consecutive bits. For example, dst_ip/25 can be represented using dst_ip/24 with a delta of 1 bit. The C-TCAM does not have a limit on the number of masks being used (and therefore does not support mask aggregation), but can contain a limited number of filters. The driver uses the "objagg" library to perform the mask aggregation by passing it objects that consist of the filter's mask and whether the filter is to be inserted into the A-TCAM or the C-TCAM since filters in different TCAMs cannot share a mask. The set of created objects is dependent on the insertion order of the filters and is not necessarily optimal. Therefore, the driver will periodically ask the library to compute a more optimal set ("hints") by looking at all the existing objects. When the library asks the driver whether two objects can be aggregated the driver only compares the provided masks and ignores the A-TCAM / C-TCAM indication. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9069a3817d82b01b3a55da382c774e3575946130 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4dc09f6f260db3c4565a4ec52ba369393598f2fb https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/36a9996e020dd5aa325e0ecc55eb2328288ea6bb https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9a5261a984bba4f583d966c550fa72c33ff3714e https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/25c6fd9648ad05da493a5d30881896a78a08b624 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0e59c2d22853266704e127915653598f7f104037 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fb5d4fc578e655d113f09565f6f047e15f7ab578 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/97d833ceb27dc19f8777d63f90be4a27b • CWE-284: Improper Access Control •
