CVE-2024-38582

En el kernel de Linux, se resolvió la siguiente vulnerabilidad: nilfs2: soluciona un posible bloqueo en nilfs_detach_log_writer() Syzbot ha informado de un posible bloqueo en nilfs_detach_log_writer() llamado durante el desmontaje de nilfs2. El análisis reveló que esto se debe a que nilfs_segctor_sync(), que se sincroniza con el hilo del escritor de registros, puede ser llamado después de que nilfs_segctor_destroy() finalice ese hilo, como se muestra en el seguimiento de llamadas a continuación: nilfs_detach_log_writer nilfs_segctor_destroy nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Apagar el hilo del escritor de registros Flush_work nilfs_iput_work_func nilfs_dispose_list iput nilfs_evict_inode nilfs_transaction_commit nilfs_construct_segment (si el inodo necesita sincronización) nilfs_segctor_sync --> Intente sincronizar con el hilo del escritor de registros *** DEADLOCK *** Solucione este problema cambiando nilfs_segctor_sync() para que el hilo del escritor de registros regrese normalmente sin sincronizarse después de que termine y forzando las tareas que ya están esperando a completarse una vez que finaliza el hilo. La eliminación de metadatos del inodo omitido se procesará en conjunto en el trabajo de limpieza posterior en nilfs_segctor_destroy().

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() Syzbot has reported a potential hang in nilfs_detach_log_writer() called during nilfs2 unmount. Analysis revealed that this is because nilfs_segctor_sync(), which synchronizes with the log writer thread, can be called after nilfs_segctor_destroy() terminates that thread, as shown in the call trace below: nilfs_detach_log_writer nilfs_segctor_destroy nilfs_segctor_kill_thread --> Shut down log writer thread flush_work nilfs_iput_work_func nilfs_dispose_list iput nilfs_evict_inode nilfs_transaction_commit nilfs_construct_segment (if inode needs sync) nilfs_segctor_sync --> Attempt to synchronize with log writer thread *** DEADLOCK *** Fix this issue by changing nilfs_segctor_sync() so that the log writer thread returns normally without synchronizing after it terminates, and by forcing tasks that are already waiting to complete once after the thread terminates. The skipped inode metadata flushout will then be processed together in the subsequent cleanup work in nilfs_segctor_destroy().

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.
