OESA-2024-2569

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

dmaengine: idxd: Let probe fail when workqueue cannot be enabled

The workqueue is enabled when the appropriate driver is loaded and disabled when the driver is removed. When the driver is removed it assumes that the workqueue was enabled successfully and proceeds to free allocations made during workqueue enabling.

Failure during workqueue enabling does not prevent the driver from being loaded. This is because the error path within drvenablewq() returns success unless a second failure is encountered during the error path. By returning success it is possible to load the driver even if the workqueue cannot be enabled and allocations that do not exist are attempted to be freed during driver remove.

Some examples of problematic flows: (a)

idxddmaenginedrvprobe() -> drvenablewq() -> idxdwqrequestirq(): In above flow, if idxdwqrequestirq() fails then idxdwqunmapportal() is called on error exit path, but drvenablewq() returns 0 because idxdwqdisable() succeeds. The driver is thus loaded successfully.

idxddmaenginedrvremove()->drvdisablewq()->idxdwqunmapportal() Above flow on driver unload triggers the WARN in devmiounmap() because the device resource has already been removed during error path of drvenable_wq().

(b)

idxddmaenginedrvprobe() -> drvenablewq() -> idxdwqrequestirq(): In above flow, if idxdwqrequestirq() fails then idxdwqinitpercpuref() is never called to initialize the percpu counter, yet the driver loads successfully because drvenable_wq() returns 0.

idxddmaenginedrvremove()->idxdwqquiesce()->percpuref_kill(): Above flow on driver unload triggers a BUG when attempting to drop the initial ref of the uninitialized percpu ref: BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000010

Fix the drvenablewq() error path by returning the original error that indicates failure of workqueue enabling. This ensures that the probe fails when an error is encountered and the driver remove paths are only attempted when the workqueue was enabled successfully.(CVE-2022-48868)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

smb: client: fix potential OOBs in smb2parsecontexts()

Validate offsets and lengths before dereferencing create contexts in smb2parsecontexts().

This fixes following oops when accessing invalid create contexts from server:

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's NVMe driver. This issue may allow an unauthenticated malicious actor to send a set of crafted TCP packages when using NVMe over TCP, leading the NVMe driver to a NULL pointer dereference in the NVMe driver and causing kernel panic and a denial of service.(CVE-2023-6356)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ocfs2: pass u64 to ocfs2truncateinline maybe overflow Syzbot reported a kernel BUG in ocfs2truncateinline. There are two reasons for this: first, the parameter value passed is greater than ocfs2maxinlinedatawithxattr, second, the start and end parameters of ocfs2truncateinline are "unsigned int". So, we need to add a sanity check for bytestart and bytelen right before ocfs2truncateinline() in ocfs2removeinoderange(), if they are greater than ocfs2maxinlinedatawith_xattr return -EINVAL.(CVE-2024-50218)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/CPU/AMD: Clear virtualized VMLOAD/VMSAVE on Zen4 client A number of Zen4 client SoCs advertise the ability to use virtualized VMLOAD/VMSAVE, but using these instructions is reported to be a cause of a random host reboot. These instructions aren't intended to be advertised on Zen4 client so clear the capability.(CVE-2024-53114)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: initramfs: avoid filename buffer overrun The initramfs filename field is defined in Documentation/driver-api/early-userspace/buffer-format.rst as: 37 cpiofile := ALGN(4) + cpioheader + filename + "\0" + ALGN(4) + data ... 55 ============= ================== ========================= 56 Field name Field size Meaning 57 ============= ================== ========================= ... 70 cnamesize 8 bytes Length of filename, including final \0 When extracting an initramfs cpio archive, the kernel's doname() path handler assumes a zero-terminated path at @collected, passing it directly to filpopen() / initmkdir() / initmknod(). If a specially crafted cpio entry carries a non-zero-terminated filename and is followed by uninitialized memory, then a file may be created with trailing characters that represent the uninitialized memory. The ability to create an initramfs entry would imply already having full control of the system, so the buffer overrun shouldn't be considered a security vulnerability. Append the output of the following bash script to an existing initramfs and observe any created /initramfstestfnameoverrunAA* path. E.g. ./reproducer.sh | gzip >> /myinitramfs It's easiest to observe non-zero uninitialized memory when the output is gzipped, as it'll overflow the heap allocated @outbuf in _gunzip(), rather than the initrdstart+initrdsize block. ---- reproducer.sh ---- nilchar="A" # change to "\0" to properly zero terminate / pad magic="070701" ino=1 mode=$(( 0100777 )) uid=0 gid=0 nlink=1 mtime=1 filesize=0 devmajor=0 devminor=1 rdevmajor=0 rdevminor=0 csum=0 fname="initramfstestfnameoverrun" namelen=$(( ${#fname} + 1 )) # plus one to account for terminator printf "%s%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%08x%s" \ $magic $ino $mode $uid $gid $nlink $mtime $filesize \ $devmajor $devminor $rdevmajor $rdevminor $namelen $csum $fname termpadlen=$(( 1 + ((4 - ((110 + $namelen) & 3)) % 4) )) printf "%.s${nilchar}" $(seq 1 $termpadlen) ---- reproducer.sh ---- Symlink filename fields handled in dosymlink() won't overrun past the data segment, due to the explicit zero-termination of the symlink target. Fix filename buffer overrun by aborting the initramfs FSM if any cpio entry doesn't carry a zero-terminator at the expected (name_len - 1) offset.(CVE-2024-53142)
