CVE-2024-36940

En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: pinctrl: core: eliminar incorrecto gratis en pinctrl_enable() La estructura "pctldev" está asignada en devm_pinctrl_register_and_init(). Es un puntero administrado por devm_ que se libera mediante devm_pinctrl_dev_release(), por lo que liberarlo en pinctrl_enable() generará una doble liberación. La función devm_pinctrl_dev_release() libera los pindescs y también destruye el mutex.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: pinctrl: core: delete incorrect free in pinctrl_enable() The "pctldev" struct is allocated in devm_pinctrl_register_and_init(). It's a devm_ managed pointer that is freed by devm_pinctrl_dev_release(), so freeing it in pinctrl_enable() will lead to a double free. The devm_pinctrl_dev_release() function frees the pindescs and destroys the mutex as well.

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.
