CVE-2024-26710

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: powerpc/kasan: limitar el aumento del tamaño del subproceso KASAN a 32 KB. Se considera que KASAN aumenta el uso de la pila, hasta el punto de que se informó que provoca un desbordamiento de la pila en algunas máquinas de 32 bits ( ver enlace). Para evitar desbordamientos, el tamaño de la pila se duplicó para las compilaciones de KASAN en el commit 3e8635fb2e07 ("powerpc/kasan: Forzar el aumento del tamaño del subproceso con KASAN"). Sin embargo, con un tamaño de pila de 32 KB para empezar, la duplicación conduce a una pila de 64 KB, lo que provoca errores de compilación: arch/powerpc/kernel/switch.S:249: Error: operando fuera de rango (0x000000000000fe50 no está entre 0xffffffffffff8000 y 0x00000000000007fff) Aunque el conjunto podría modificarse, en la práctica una pila de 32 KB parece suficiente incluso para compilaciones KASAN; el uso adicional parece estar en el rango de 2 a 3 KB para una compilación KASAN de 64 bits. Por lo tanto, solo aumente la pila para KASAN si el tamaño de la pila es <32 KB.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/kasan: Limit KASAN thread size increase to 32KB KASAN is seen to increase stack usage, to the point that it was reported to lead to stack overflow on some 32-bit machines (see link). To avoid overflows the stack size was doubled for KASAN builds in commit 3e8635fb2e07 ("powerpc/kasan: Force thread size increase with KASAN"). However with a 32KB stack size to begin with, the doubling leads to a 64KB stack, which causes build errors: arch/powerpc/kernel/switch.S:249: Error: operand out of range (0x000000000000fe50 is not between 0xffffffffffff8000 and 0x0000000000007fff) Although the asm could be reworked, in practice a 32KB stack seems sufficient even for KASAN builds - the additional usage seems to be in the 2-3KB range for a 64-bit KASAN build. So only increase the stack for KASAN if the stack size is < 32KB.

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.
