CVE-2024-26715

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: usb: dwc3: gadget: corrige la desreferencia del puntero NULL en dwc3_gadget_suspend En el escenario actual, si el Plug-out y el Plug-In se ejecutan continuamente, podría haber una posibilidad al verificar dwc->gadget_driver en dwc3_gadget_suspend, puede ocurrir una desreferencia del puntero NULL. Pila de llamadas: CPU1: CPU2: gadget_unbind_driver dwc3_suspend_common dwc3_gadget_stop dwc3_gadget_suspend dwc3_disconnect_gadget CPU1 básicamente borra la variable y CPU2 verifica la variable. Considere que CPU1 se está ejecutando y justo antes de que se borre gadget_driver y en paralelo CPU2 ejecuta dwc3_gadget_suspend donde encuentra dwc->gadget_driver que no es NULL y reanuda la ejecución y luego CPU1 completa la ejecución. CPU2 ejecuta dwc3_disconnect_gadget donde verifica que dwc->gadget_driver ya sea NULL debido a lo cual se produce la deferencia del puntero NULL.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: dwc3: gadget: Fix NULL pointer dereference in dwc3_gadget_suspend In current scenario if Plug-out and Plug-In performed continuously there could be a chance while checking for dwc->gadget_driver in dwc3_gadget_suspend, a NULL pointer dereference may occur. Call Stack: CPU1: CPU2: gadget_unbind_driver dwc3_suspend_common dwc3_gadget_stop dwc3_gadget_suspend dwc3_disconnect_gadget CPU1 basically clears the variable and CPU2 checks the variable. Consider CPU1 is running and right before gadget_driver is cleared and in parallel CPU2 executes dwc3_gadget_suspend where it finds dwc->gadget_driver which is not NULL and resumes execution and then CPU1 completes execution. CPU2 executes dwc3_disconnect_gadget where it checks dwc->gadget_driver is already NULL because of which the NULL pointer deference occur.

It was discovered that the Open vSwitch implementation in the Linux kernel could overflow its stack during recursive action operations under certain conditions. A local 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.
