CVE-2024-35877

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: x86/mm/pat: corrige el manejo de VM_PAT en asignaciones COW El manejo de PAT no funcionará correctamente en las asignaciones COW: la primera PTE (o, de hecho, todas las PTE) pueden ser reemplazado durante fallos de escritura para señalar folios anónimos. Recuperar de manera confiable el PFN y el modo de caché correctos usando follow_phys() de las PTE no funcionará en las asignaciones COW. Usando follow_phys(), podríamos obtener la dirección+protección de la publicación anónima (lo cual es muy incorrecto), o fallar en las entradas de intercambio/no intercambio, fallando en follow_phys() y activando un WARN_ON_ONCE() en untrack_pfn() y track_pfn_copy() , no llamando correctamente a free_pfn_range(). En free_pfn_range(), no llamaríamos a memtype_free() o lo llamaríamos con el rango incorrecto, posiblemente perdiendo memoria. Para solucionarlo, actualicemos follow_phys() para rechazar la devolución de publicaciones anónimas y recurramos al uso del PFN almacenado dentro de vma->vm_pgoff para asignaciones COW si nos encontramos con eso. Ahora manejaremos adecuadamente untrack_pfn() con asignaciones COW, donde no necesitamos el modo caché. Sin embargo, tendremos que fallar fork()->track_pfn_copy() si la primera página fue reemplazada por una publicación anónima: tendríamos que almacenar el modo de caché en el VMA para que esto funcione, probablemente aumentando el tamaño del VMA. Por ahora, mantengámoslo simple y dejemos que track_pfn_copy() simplemente falle en ese caso: ya habría fallado en el pasado con entradas de intercambio/no intercambio, y habría hecho algo incorrecto con folios anónimos.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/mm/pat: fix VM_PAT handling in COW mappings PAT handling won't do the right thing in COW mappings: the first PTE (or, in fact, all PTEs) can be replaced during write faults to point at anon folios. Reliably recovering the correct PFN and cachemode using follow_phys() from PTEs will not work in COW mappings. Using follow_phys(), we might just get the address+protection of the anon folio (which is very wrong), or fail on swap/nonswap entries, failing follow_phys() and triggering a WARN_ON_ONCE() in untrack_pfn() and track_pfn_copy(), not properly calling free_pfn_range(). In free_pfn_range(), we either wouldn't call memtype_free() or would call it with the wrong range, possibly leaking memory. To fix that, let's update follow_phys() to refuse returning anon folios, and fallback to using the stored PFN inside vma->vm_pgoff for COW mappings if we run into that. We will now properly handle untrack_pfn() with COW mappings, where we don't need the cachemode. We'll have to fail fork()->track_pfn_copy() if the first page was replaced by an anon folio, though: we'd have to store the cachemode in the VMA to make this work, likely growing the VMA size. For now, lets keep it simple and let track_pfn_copy() just fail in that case: it would have failed in the past with swap/nonswap entries already, and it would have done the wrong thing with anon folios.

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. 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.
