CVE-2024-46739

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio_hv_generic: Fix kernel NULL pointer dereference in hv_uio_rescind For primary VM Bus channels, primary_channel pointer is always NULL. This pointer is valid only for the secondary channels. Also, rescind callback is meant for primary channels only. Fix NULL pointer dereference by retrieving the device_obj from the parent for the primary channel.

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.
