CVE-2024-26618

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: arm64/sme: salir siempre de sme_alloc() antes de tiempo con el almacenamiento existente. Cuando se llama a sme_alloc() con el almacenamiento existente y no estamos vaciando, siempre asignaremos nuevo almacenamiento, y ambos filtrarán el almacenamiento existente, almacenamiento y corrupción del estado. Solucione este problema separando los controles de descarga y de almacenamiento existente como lo hacemos con SVE. Las personas que llaman que se reasignan (por ejemplo, debido al cambio de la longitud del vector) deben llamar ellos mismos a sme_free().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: arm64/sme: Always exit sme_alloc() early with existing storage When sme_alloc() is called with existing storage and we are not flushing we will always allocate new storage, both leaking the existing storage and corrupting the state. Fix this by separating the checks for flushing and for existing storage as we do for SVE. Callers that reallocate (eg, due to changing the vector length) should call sme_free() themselves.

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.
