CVE-2024-26801

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Bluetooth: evite el posible use-after-free en hci_error_reset Mientras se maneja el evento HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR, si el controlador BT subyacente no responde, el mecanismo de reinicio de GPIO liberaría hci_dev y provocaría un error. use-after-free en hci_error_reset. Este es el seguimiento de llamadas observado en un dispositivo ChromeOS con Intel AX201: queue_work_on+0x3e/0x6c __hci_cmd_sync_sk+0x2ee/0x4c0 [bluetooth ] ? init_wait_entry+0x31/0x31 __hci_cmd_sync+0x16/0x20 [bluetooth ] hci_error_reset+0x4f/0xa4 [bluetooth ] Process_one_work+0x1d8/0x33f trabajador_thread+0x21b/0x373 kthread+0x13a /0x152 ? pr_cont_work+0x54/0x54? kthread_blkcg+0x31/0x31 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 Este parche mantiene el recuento de referencias en hci_dev mientras procesa un evento HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR para evitar posibles fallas.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the Linux kernel’s Bluetooth subsystem in how it handles hardware failure when it occurs. This flaw allows a local user to potentially crash the system.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: Avoid potential use-after-free in hci_error_reset While handling the HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR event, if the underlying BT controller is not responding, the GPIO reset mechanism would free the hci_dev and lead to a use-after-free in hci_error_reset. Here's the call trace observed on a ChromeOS device with Intel AX201: queue_work_on+0x3e/0x6c __hci_cmd_sync_sk+0x2ee/0x4c0 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a6>] ? init_wait_entry+0x31/0x31 __hci_cmd_sync+0x16/0x20 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a 6>] hci_error_reset+0x4f/0xa4 [bluetooth <HASH:3b4a 6>] process_one_work+0x1d8/0x33f worker_thread+0x21b/0x373 kthread+0x13a/0x152 ? pr_cont_work+0x54/0x54 ? kthread_blkcg+0x31/0x31 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 This patch holds the reference count on the hci_dev while processing a HCI_EV_HARDWARE_ERROR event to avoid potential crash.

Zheng Wang discovered that the Broadcom FullMAC WLAN driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition during device removal, leading to a use- after-free vulnerability. A physically proximate attacker could possibly 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.
