Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: spmi: mediatek: Fix UAF on device remove The pmif driver data that contains the clocks is allocated along with
spmi_controller.
On device remove, spmi_controller will be freed first, and then devres
, including the clocks, will be cleanup.
This leads to UAF because putting the clocks will access the clocks in
the pmif driver data, which is already freed along with spmi_controller. This can be reproduced by enabling DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE and
building the kernel with KASAN. Fix the UAF issue by using unmanaged clk_bulk_get() and putting the
clocks before freeing spmi_controller.

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: spmi: mediatek: reparar UAF en la eliminación del dispositivo. Los datos del controlador pmif que contienen los relojes se asignan junto con spmi_controller. Al eliminar el dispositivo, primero se liberará spmi_controller y luego se limpiarán los devres, incluidos los relojes. Esto lleva a UAF porque al poner los relojes se accederá a los relojes en los datos del controlador pmif, que ya están liberados junto con spmi_controller. Esto se puede reproducir habilitando DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE y compilando el kernel con KASAN. Solucione el problema de UAF utilizando clk_bulk_get() no administrado y poniendo los relojes antes de liberar spmi_controller.

Alon Zahavi discovered that the NVMe-oF/TCP subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly validate H2C PDU data, leading to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. Sander Wiebing, Alvise de Faveri Tron, Herbert Bos, and Cristiano Giuffrida discovered that the Linux kernel mitigations for the initial Branch History Injection vulnerability were insufficient for Intel processors. A local attacker could potentially use this to expose sensitive information.
