CVE-2024-35915

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nfc: nci: corrigió el valor uninit en nci_dev_up y nci_ntf_packet syzbot informó el siguiente problema de acceso al valor uninit [1][2]: nci_rx_work() analiza y procesa el paquete recibido. Cuando la longitud del payload es cero, cada controlador de tipo de mensaje lee el payload no inicializado y KMSAN detecta este problema. La recepción de un paquete con un payload de tamaño cero se considera inesperada y, por lo tanto, dichos paquetes deben descartarse silenciosamente. Este parche resolvió este problema verificando el tamaño del payload antes de llamar a los códigos de controlador de cada tipo de mensaje.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfc: nci: Fix uninit-value in nci_dev_up and nci_ntf_packet syzbot reported the following uninit-value access issue [1][2]: nci_rx_work() parses and processes received packet. When the payload length is zero, each message type handler reads uninitialized payload and KMSAN detects this issue. The receipt of a packet with a zero-size payload is considered unexpected, and therefore, such packets should be silently discarded. This patch resolved this issue by checking payload size before calling each message type handler codes.

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. Gui-Dong Han discovered that the software RAID driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service.
