Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/mm: Disallow vsyscall page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault() When trying to use copy_from_kernel_nofault() to read vsyscall page
through a bpf program, the following oops was reported: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffffff600000 #PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode #PF: error_code(0x0000) - not-present page PGD 3231067 P4D 3231067 PUD 3233067 PMD 3235067 PTE 0 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 20390 Comm: test_progs ...... 6.7.0+ #58 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) ......

page and invokes copy_from_kernel_nofault() which in turn calls
__get_user_asm(). 2) Because the vsyscall page address is not readable from kernel space,
a page fault exception is triggered accordingly. 3) handle_page_fault() considers the vsyscall page address as a user
space address instead of a kernel space address. This results in the
fix-up setup by bpf not being applied and a page_fault_oops() is invoked
due to SMAP. Considering handle_page_fault() has already considered the vsyscall page
address as a userspace address, fix the problem by disallowing vsyscall
page read for copy_from_kernel_nofault().
En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: x86/mm: no permitir la lectura de la página vsyscall para copy_from_kernel_nofault() Al intentar usar copy_from_kernel_nofault() para leer la página vsyscall a través de un programa bpf, se informó lo siguiente: ERROR: no se puede manejar el error de página para la dirección: ffffffffff600000 #PF: acceso de lectura del supervisor en modo kernel #PF: error_code(0x0000) - página no presente PGD 3231067 P4D 3231067 PUD 3233067 PMD 3235067 PTE 0 Ups: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP PTI CPU: 1 PID: 20390 Comm: test_progs ...... 6.7.0+ #58 Nombre de hardware: PC estándar QEMU (i440FX + PIIX, 1996) ......

Esto da como resultado que no se aplique la configuración de reparación mediante bpf y se invoque page_fault_oops() debido a SMAP. Teniendo en cuenta que handle_page_fault() ya ha considerado la dirección de la página vsyscall como una dirección de espacio de usuario, solucione el problema no permitiendo la lectura de la página vsyscall para copy_from_kernel_nofault().

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. 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.
