CVE-2024-43879

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: wifi: cfg80211: handle 2x996 RU allocation in cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_he() Currently NL80211_RATE_INFO_HE_RU_ALLOC_2x996 is not handled in cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_he(), leading to below warning: kernel: invalid HE MCS: bw:6, ru:6 kernel: WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2312 at net/wireless/util.c:1501 cfg80211_calculate_bitrate_he+0x22b/0x270 [cfg80211] Fix it by handling 2x996 RU allocation in the same way as 160 MHz bandwidth.

It was discovered that the CIFS network file system implementation in the Linux kernel did not properly validate certain SMB messages, leading to an out-of-bounds read vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly expose sensitive information. 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.
