CVE-2024-44988

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: Fix out-of-bound access If an ATU violation was caused by a CPU Load operation, the SPID could be larger than DSA_MAX_PORTS (the size of mv88e6xxx_chip.ports[] array).

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.
