In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix potential kernel bug due to lack of writeback flag waiting Destructive writes to a block device on which nilfs2 is mounted can cause a kernel bug in the folio/page writeback start routine or writeback end routine (__folio_start_writeback in the log below): kernel BUG at mm/page-writeback.c:3070!

CVSS: 8.8EPSS: 0%CPEs: 1EXPL: 0CVE-2021-4440 – x86/xen: Drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2021-4440
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/xen: Drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call commit afd30525a659ac0ae0904f0cb4a2ca75522c3123 upstream. USERGS_SYSRET64 is used to return from a syscall via SYSRET, but a Xen PV guest will nevertheless use the IRET hypercall, as there is no sysret PV hypercall defined. So instead of testing all the prerequisites for doing a sysret and then mangling the stack for Xen PV again for doing an iret just use the iret exit from the beginning. This can easily be done via an ALTERNATIVE like it is done for the sysenter compat case already. It should be noted that this drops the optimization in Xen for not restoring a few registers when returning to user mode, but it seems as if the saved instructions in the kernel more than compensate for this drop (a kernel build in a Xen PV guest was slightly faster with this patch applied). While at it remove the stale sysret32 remnants. [ pawan: Brad Spengler and Salvatore Bonaccorso <carnil@debian.org> reported a problem with the 5.10 backport commit edc702b4a820 ("x86/entry_64: Add VERW just before userspace transition"). When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y, CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS is not executed in syscall_return_via_sysret path as USERGS_SYSRET64 is runtime patched to: .cpu_usergs_sysret64 = { 0x0f, 0x01, 0xf8, 0x48, 0x0f, 0x07 }, // swapgs; sysretq which is missing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS. It turns out dropping USERGS_SYSRET64 simplifies the code, allowing CLEAR_CPU_BUFFERS to be explicitly added to syscall_return_via_sysret path. Below is with CONFIG_PARAVIRT_XXL=y and this patch applied: syscall_return_via_sysret: ... <+342>: swapgs <+345>: xchg %ax,%ax <+347>: verw -0x1a2(%rip) <------ <+354>: sysretq ] En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: x86/xen: elimine el commit de llamada paravirt USERGS_SYSRET64 afd30525a659ac0ae0904f0cb4a2ca75522c3123 en sentido ascendente. USERGS_SYSRET64 se usa para regresar de una llamada al sistema a través de SYSRET, pero un invitado Xen PV usará la hiperllamada IRET, ya que no hay ninguna hiperllamada PV sysret definida. Entonces, en lugar de probar todos los requisitos previos para hacer un sysret y luego alterar la pila para Xen PV nuevamente para hacer un iret, simplemente use la salida iret desde el principio. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cea750c99d8f6391080c420f811a46b21bad7cf4 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1424ab4bb386df9cc590c73afa55f13e9b00dea2 https://grsecurity.net/cve-2021-4440_linux_cna_case_study • CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption •
CVSS: -EPSS: 0%CPEs: 4EXPL: 0CVE-2024-37021 – fpga: manager: add owner module and take its refcount
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-37021
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fpga: manager: add owner module and take its refcount The current implementation of the fpga manager assumes that the low-level module registers a driver for the parent device and uses its owner pointer to take the module's refcount. This approach is problematic since it can lead to a null pointer dereference while attempting to get the manager if the parent device does not have a driver. To address this problem, add a module owner pointer to the fpga_manager struct and use it to take the module's refcount. Modify the functions for registering the manager to take an additional owner module parameter and rename them to avoid conflicts. Use the old function names for helper macros that automatically set the module that registers the manager as the owner. This ensures compatibility with existing low-level control modules and reduces the chances of registering a manager without setting the owner. Also, update the documentation to keep it consistent with the new interface for registering an fpga manager. Other changes: opportunistically move put_device() from __fpga_mgr_get() to fpga_mgr_get() and of_fpga_mgr_get() to improve code clarity since the manager device is taken in these functions. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/654ba4cc0f3ed7c0f08bfb39f66059d8c42943ee https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/304f8032d601d4f9322ca841cd0b573bd1beb158 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2da62a139a6221a345db4eb9f4f1c4b0937c89ad https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/62ac496a01c9337a11362cea427038ba621ca9eb https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4d4d2d4346857bf778fafaa97d6f76bb1663e3c9 •
