CVE-2024-26691

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: KVM: arm64: corrige la dependencia de bloqueo circular La regla dentro de kvm exige que vcpu->mutex se tome *dentro* de kvm->lock. La regla es violada por pkvm_create_hyp_vm() que adquiere el bloqueo kvm->mientras ya mantiene el bloqueo vcpu->mutex de kvm_vcpu_ioctl(). Evite por completo la dependencia del bloqueo circular protegiendo el identificador hyp vm con config_lock, de forma muy similar a como lo hacemos con otras formas de datos con alcance de VM.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: Fix circular locking dependency The rule inside kvm enforces that the vcpu->mutex is taken *inside* kvm->lock. The rule is violated by the pkvm_create_hyp_vm() which acquires the kvm->lock while already holding the vcpu->mutex lock from kvm_vcpu_ioctl(). Avoid the circular locking dependency altogether by protecting the hyp vm handle with the config_lock, much like we already do for other forms of VM-scoped data.

It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service.
