CVE-2024-42159

A vulnerability was found in the Linux kernel's mpi3mr driver in the mpi3mr_sas_port_add() function, where a lack of proper checks could lead to values that are larger than what the defined size of the num_phys field in the mr_sas_node structure being inserted, causing the field to be overwritten and potentially corrupting the structure. This issue could lead to memory corruption or crashes.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: scsi: mpi3mr: Sanitise num_phys Information is stored in mr_sas_port->phy_mask, values larger then size of this field shouldn't be allowed.

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service.
