CVE-2023-52615

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: hwrng: core: soluciona el bloqueo de falla de página en mmap-ed hwrng Hay un bloqueo en la ruta de lectura del dispositivo hwrng. Esto se activa cuando el usuario lee desde /dev/hwrng en la memoria y también realiza mmap-ed desde /dev/hwrng. El error de página resultante desencadena una lectura recursiva que luego se bloquea. Solucione este problema utilizando un búfer de pila al llamar a copy_to_user.

A vulnerability was found in the hwrng component of the Linux kernel, which caused a deadlock when reading from /dev/hwrng into memory and mmap-ed from /dev/hwrng. This issue is triggered by a recursive read during a page fault and allows a local, authenticated attacker to cause a denial of service.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: hwrng: core - Fix page fault dead lock on mmap-ed hwrng There is a dead-lock in the hwrng device read path. This triggers when the user reads from /dev/hwrng into memory also mmap-ed from /dev/hwrng. The resulting page fault triggers a recursive read which then dead-locks. Fix this by using a stack buffer when calling copy_to_user.

Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly 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.
