Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: xfs: fix log recovery buffer allocation for the legacy h_size fixup Commit a70f9fe52daa ("xfs: detect and handle invalid iclog size set by
mkfs") added a fixup for incorrect h_size values used for the initial
umount record in old xfsprogs versions. Later commit 0c771b99d6c9
("xfs: clean up calculation of LR header blocks") cleaned up the log
reover buffer calculation, but stoped using the fixed up h_size value
to size the log recovery buffer, which can lead to an out of bounds
access when the incorrect h_size does not come from the old mkfs
tool, but a fuzzer. Fix this by open coding xlog_logrec_hblks and taking the fixed h_size
into account for this calculation.
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: xfs: corrige la asignación del búfer de recuperación de registros para la corrección heredada de h_size. El commit a70f9fe52daa ("xfs: detecta y maneja el tamaño de iclog no válido establecido por mkfs") agregó una corrección para los valores incorrectos de h_size usados para el registro desmontaje inicial en versiones antiguas de xfsprogs. Posteriormente, el commit 0c771b99d6c9 ("xfs: cálculo de limpieza de bloques de encabezado LR") limpió el cálculo del búfer de recuperación de registros, pero dejó de usar el valor h_size fijo para dimensionar el búfer de recuperación de registros, lo que puede provocar un acceso fuera de los límites cuando el h_size incorrecto no proviene de la antigua herramienta mkfs, sino de un fuzzer. Solucione este problema abriendo la codificación xlog_logrec_hblks y teniendo en cuenta el h_size fijo para este cálculo.

Supraja Sridhara, Benedict Schlüter, Mark Kuhne, Andrin Bertschi, and Shweta Shinde discovered that the Confidential Computing framework in the Linux kernel for x86 platforms did not properly handle 32-bit emulation on TDX and SEV. An attacker with access to the VMM could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
