CVE-2024-36896

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: USB: core: corrige la infracción de acceso durante la eliminación del dispositivo del puerto. Las pruebas con KASAN y syzkaller revelaron un error en port.c:disable_store(): usb_hub_to_struct_hub() puede devolver NULL si el hub que el puerto al que pertenece se elimina simultáneamente, pero la función no comprueba esta posibilidad antes de desreferenciar el valor devuelto. Resulta que la primera desreferencia es innecesaria, ya que hub->intfdev es el padre del dispositivo portuario, por lo que se puede cambiar fácilmente. Agregar una verificación para hub == NULL evita más problemas. El mismo error existe en la rutina enable_show() y se puede solucionar de la misma manera.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: core: Fix access violation during port device removal Testing with KASAN and syzkaller revealed a bug in port.c:disable_store(): usb_hub_to_struct_hub() can return NULL if the hub that the port belongs to is concurrently removed, but the function does not check for this possibility before dereferencing the returned value. It turns out that the first dereference is unnecessary, since hub->intfdev is the parent of the port device, so it can be changed easily. Adding a check for hub == NULL prevents further problems. The same bug exists in the disable_show() routine, and it can be fixed the same way.

Benedict Schlüter, Supraja Sridhara, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that an untrusted hypervisor could inject malicious #VC interrupts and compromise the security guarantees of AMD SEV-SNP. This flaw is known as WeSee. A local attacker in control of the hypervisor could use this to expose sensitive information or possibly execute arbitrary code in the trusted execution environment. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
