https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-53079
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mm/thp: fix deferred split unqueue naming and locking Recent changes are putting more pressure on THP deferred split queues: under load revealing long-standing races, causing list_del corruptions, "Bad page state"s and worse (I keep BUGs in both of those, so usually don't get to see how badly they end up without). The relevant recent changes being 6.8's mTHP, 6.10's mTHP swapout, and 6.12's mTHP swapin, improved swap allocation, and underused THP splitting. Before fixing locking: rename misleading folio_undo_large_rmappable(), which does not undo large_rmappable, to folio_unqueue_deferred_split(), which is what it does. But that and its out-of-line __callee are mm internals of very limited usability: add comment and WARN_ON_ONCEs to check usage; and return a bool to say if a deferred split was unqueued, which can then be used in WARN_ON_ONCEs around safety checks (sparing callers the arcane conditionals in __folio_unqueue_deferred_split()). Just omit the folio_unqueue_deferred_split() from free_unref_folios(), all of whose callers now call it beforehand (and if any forget then bad_page() will tell) - except for its caller put_pages_list(), which itself no longer has any callers (and will be deleted separately). Swapout: mem_cgroup_swapout() has been resetting folio->memcg_data 0 without checking and unqueueing a THP folio from deferred split list; which is unfortunate, since the split_queue_lock depends on the memcg (when memcg is enabled); so swapout has been unqueueing such THPs later, when freeing the folio, using the pgdat's lock instead: potentially corrupting the memcg's list. __remove_mapping() has frozen refcount to 0 here, so no problem with calling folio_unqueue_deferred_split() before resetting memcg_data. That goes back to 5.4 commit 87eaceb3faa5 ("mm: thp: make deferred split shrinker memcg aware"): which included a check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue, but no check on deferred queue before adding THP to swapcache. That worked fine with the usual sequence of events in reclaim (though there were a couple of rare ways in which a THP on deferred queue could have been swapped out), but 6.12 commit dafff3f4c850 ("mm: split underused THPs") avoids splitting underused THPs in reclaim, which makes swapcache THPs on deferred queue commonplace. Keep the check on swapcache before adding to deferred queue? • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/87eaceb3faa59b9b4d940ec9554ce251325d83fe https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc4951c3e3358dd82ea508e893695b916c813f17 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/afb1352d06b1b6b2cfd1f901c766a430c87078b3 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8f931bba0f92052cf842b7e30917b1afcc77d5a •

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: iio: gts-helper: Fix memory leaks for the error path of iio_gts_build_avail_scale_table() If per_time_scales[i] or per_time_gains[i] kcalloc fails in the for loop of iio_gts_build_avail_scale_table(), the err_free_out will fail to call kfree() each time when i is reduced to 0, so all the per_time_scales[0] and per_time_gains[0] will not be freed, which will cause memory leaks. Fix it by checking if i >= 0. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/38416c28e16890b52fdd5eb73479299ec3f062f3 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/62c11896683129790b8f5ab6eb7e695818b0b723 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b304362ce836968b803e5d4c5f84dcb51a7bf0f2 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/369f05688911b05216cfcd6ca74473bec87948d7 •

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: iwlwifi: mvm: don't leak a link on AP removal Release the link mapping resource in AP removal. This impacted devices that do not support the MLD API (9260 and down). On those devices, we couldn't start the AP again after the AP has been already started and stopped. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a8b5d4809b503da668966a8187b9872e6c85291c https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/70ddf9ce1894c48dbbf10b0de51a95e4fb3dd376 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ed092997a004d68a3a5b0eeb94e71b69839d0f7 •

CVSS: -EPSS: 0%CPEs: 2EXPL: 0CVE-2024-53071 – drm/panthor: Be stricter about IO mapping flags
https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-53071
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Be stricter about IO mapping flags The current panthor_device_mmap_io() implementation has two issues: 1. For mapping DRM_PANTHOR_USER_FLUSH_ID_MMIO_OFFSET, panthor_device_mmap_io() bails if VM_WRITE is set, but does not clear VM_MAYWRITE. That means userspace can use mprotect() to make the mapping writable later on. This is a classic Linux driver gotcha. I don't think this actually has any impact in practice: When the GPU is powered, writes to the FLUSH_ID seem to be ignored; and when the GPU is not powered, the dummy_latest_flush page provided by the driver is deliberately designed to not do any flushes, so the only thing writing to the dummy_latest_flush could achieve would be to make *more* flushes happen. 2. panthor_device_mmap_io() does not block MAP_PRIVATE mappings (which are mappings without the VM_SHARED flag). MAP_PRIVATE in combination with VM_MAYWRITE indicates that the VMA has copy-on-write semantics, which for VM_PFNMAP are semi-supported but fairly cursed. In particular, in such a mapping, the driver can only install PTEs during mmap() by calling remap_pfn_range() (because remap_pfn_range() wants to **store the physical address of the mapped physical memory into the vm_pgoff of the VMA**); installing PTEs later on with a fault handler (as panthor does) is not supported in private mappings, and so if you try to fault in such a mapping, vmf_insert_pfn_prot() splats when it hits a BUG() check. Fix it by clearing the VM_MAYWRITE flag (userspace writing to the FLUSH_ID doesn't make sense) and requiring VM_SHARED (copy-on-write semantics for the FLUSH_ID don't make sense). Reproducers for both scenarios are in the notes of my patch on the mailing list; I tested that these bugs exist on a Rock 5B machine. Note that I only compile-tested the patch, I haven't tested it; I don't have a working kernel build setup for the test machine yet. Please test it before applying it. • https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5fe909cae118a757a77afb37174b99436a36d2e2 https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2604afd65043e8f9d4be036cb1242adf6b5723cf https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f432a1621f049bb207e78363d9d0e3c6fa2da5db •
