CVE-2024-35831

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: io_uring: corregida la liberación de páginas fijadas cuando falla __io_uaddr_map. Mirando la ruta de error de __io_uaddr_map, si fallamos después de fijar las páginas por cualquier motivo, ret se establecerá en -EINVAL y el El controlador de errores no libera correctamente las páginas fijadas. No logré activarlo sin forzar un fallo, pero puede suceder en la vida real cuando la memoria está muy fragmentada.

A flaw was found in the `io_uring` subsystem in the Linux kernel, where pinned pages are not properly released if the `__io_uaddr_map` function fails. This could lead to resource leaks or other unintended behaviors.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: io_uring: Fix release of pinned pages when __io_uaddr_map fails Looking at the error path of __io_uaddr_map, if we fail after pinning the pages for any reasons, ret will be set to -EINVAL and the error handler won't properly release the pinned pages. I didn't manage to trigger it without forcing a failure, but it can happen in real life when memory is heavily fragmented.

Ziming Zhang discovered that the DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU did not properly handle certain error conditions, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. A local attacker could possibly trigger this vulnerability to cause a denial of service. 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.
