Descriptions

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block/rnbd-srv: Check for unlikely string overflow Since "dev_search_path" can technically be as large as PATH_MAX,
there was a risk of truncation when copying it and a second string
into "full_path" since it was also PATH_MAX sized. The W=1 builds were
reporting this warning: drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c: In function 'process_msg_open.isra':
drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c:616:51: warning: '%s' directive output may be truncated writing up to 254 bytes into a region of size between 0 and 4095 [-Wformat-truncation=] 616 | snprintf(full_path, PATH_MAX, "%s/%s", | ^~

for the case where "%SESSNAME%" was present).

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: block/rnbd-srv: Comprueba si hay un desbordamiento de cadena improbable. Dado que "dev_search_path" técnicamente puede ser tan grande como PATH_MAX, existía el riesgo de truncamiento al copiarlo y una segunda cadena en " full_path" ya que también tenía un tamaño PATH_MAX. Las compilaciones W=1 informaban esta advertencia: drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c: En función 'process_msg_open.isra': drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c:616:51: advertencia: '% La salida de la directiva s se puede truncar escribiendo hasta 254 bytes en una región de tamaño entre 0 y 4095 [-Wformat-truncation=] 616 | snprintf(full_path, PATH_MAX, "%s/%s", | ^~ En la función 'rnbd_srv_get_full_path', insertada desde 'process_msg_open.isra' en drivers/block/rnbd/rnbd-srv.c:721:14: drivers/block /rnbd/rnbd-srv.c:616:17: nota: 'snprintf' genera entre 2 y 4351 bytes en un destino de tamaño 4096 616 | snprintf(full_path, PATH_MAX, "%s/%s", | ^~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 617 | dev_search_path, dev_name); | ~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Para solucionar este problema, verifique incondicionalmente el truncamiento (como ya se hizo en el caso en el que "%SESSNAME%" estaba presente).

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.
