net: qrtr: Fix an uninit variable access bug in qrtr_tx_resume()
CVE: CVE-2023-53578
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-131
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2023-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

An uninitialized memory access flaw was found in the Linux kernel's QRTR (Qualcomm IPC Router) protocol in the transmit resume handling. When processing RESUME_TX messages, if the packet size is smaller than the expected control structure, the qrtr_tx_resume function reads uninitialized memory from the skb buffer. This can lead to unpredictable behavior, kernel warnings from KMSAN (Kernel Memory Sanitizer), and potential crashes, causing denial of service.

Statement: QRTR is a message-based IPC mechanism used in Qualcomm SoCs to communicate between processors and subsystems. The protocol uses control messages for flow control, including QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX packets that signal readiness to receive more data. The qrtr_tx_resume function expects these packets to contain at least a full qrtr_ctrl_pkt structure and reads fields from that structure. Meanwhile, qrtr_endpoint_post allocates an skb of size 'size' (from the received message) and sets skb->len to match. When a malformed or crafted message arrives with type QRTR_TYPE_RESUME_TX but size less than sizeof(struct qrtr_ctrl_pkt), the allocated skb doesn't contain enough initialized data. When qrtr_tx_resume tries to access fields of the control packet, it reads beyond the initialized portion into whatever random data happened to be in that memory.

Fix page corruption caused by racy check in __free_pages
CVE: CVE-2023-52739
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-362
Severity: Moderate
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2023-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

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

Fix page corruption caused by racy check in __free_pages

When we upgraded our kernel, we started seeing some page corruption like
the following consistently:

  BUG: Bad page state in process ganesha.nfsd  pfn:1304ca

   ...

Sometimes, it would also show up as corruption in the free list pointer
and cause crashes.

After bisecting the issue, we found the issue started from commit
e320d3012d25 ("mm/page_alloc.c: fix freeing non-compound pages"):

	if (put_page_testzero(page))
		free_the_page(page, order);
	else if (!PageHead(page))
		while (order-- > 0)
			free_the_page(page + (1 << order), order);

So the problem is the check PageHead is racy because at this point we
already dropped our reference to the page.  So even if we came in with
compound page, the page can already be freed and PageHead can return
false and we will end up freeing all the tail pages causing double free.

ACPI: video: check for error while searching for backlight device parent
CVE: CVE-2023-52693
Component: kernel
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2023-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

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

ACPI: video: check for error while searching for backlight device parent

If acpi_get_parent() called in acpi_video_dev_register_backlight()
fails, for example, because acpi_ut_acquire_mutex() fails inside
acpi_get_parent), this can lead to incorrect (uninitialized)
acpi_parent handle being passed to acpi_get_pci_dev() for detecting
the parent pci device.

Check acpi_get_parent() result and set parent device only in case of success.

hpack header values cause denial of service in http/2
CVE: CVE-2023-36478
Component: jetty
CWE: CWE-400
Severity: Important
CVSS v3: 7.5/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2023-10-10T00:00:00+00:00

A flaw was found in Jetty http2-hpack and http3-qpack. If header values exceed the size limit and Huffman is the true`MetaDataBuilder.checkSize`, the multiplication will overflow, and the length will become negative, causing a large buffer allocation on the server, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) attack.

Statement: This flaw requires a remote attacker to repeatedly send HTTP requests with HPACK, which could easily impact the server's performance or make it run out of memory. Hence, this vulnerability received an Important impact rating.

Release date: 2023-02-07T00:00:00+00:00

A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This issue occurs due to a dangling pointer in DeepCopyPointerClasses that can be exploited by ProcXkbSetDeviceInfo() and ProcXkbGetDeviceInfo() to read and write into freed memory. This can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions.

Multiple heap-based buffer overflow vulnerabilities exist in the fstReaderIterBlocks2 fstWritex len functionality of GTKWave 3.3.115. A specially crafted .fst file can lead to memory corruption.

A flaw was found in python-asyncssh before 2.14.1 versions, where the rogue extension negotiation process is unauthenticated and allows injecting an info message.

CVE: CVE-2023-34280
Component: D-Link DIR-2150 SetSysEmailSettings EmailTo Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
Release date: 2023-05-15T23:02:56.308000+00:00

D-Link DIR-2150 SetSysEmailSettings EmailTo Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of D-Link DIR-2150 routers. Although authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, the existing authentication mechanism can be bypassed.

The specific flaw exists within the SOAP API interface, which listens on TCP port 80 by default. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-20559.

Drivers: hv: vmbus: Don't dereference ACPI root object handle
CVE: CVE-2023-53647
Component: kernel
CWE: CWE-476
Severity: Low
CVSS v3: 5.6/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H
Release date: 2023-01-01T00:00:00+00:00

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the Linux kernel's Hyper-V VMBus driver in the ACPI resource walking logic. A local user can trigger this issue on systems running under hypervisors that do not provide Hyper-V MMIO ranges in the VMBus ACPI device hierarchy, causing the driver to walk up to the ACPI root object and attempt to dereference its all-ones handle. This results in a NULL pointer dereference in the ACPI subsystem, leading to a kernel crash and denial of service during boot.

Statement: The VMBus driver walks the ACPI namespace from the VMBus device upward searching for Hyper-V MMIO resource ranges. When these ranges are not found in the device or its ancestors, the code continues walking until it reaches the ACPI namespace root object, which has a special all-ones handle value. Attempting to use this handle causes the ACPI code to dereference a NULL pointer (from adding an offset to NULL). This occurs with VMBus implementations that don't provide these MMIO ranges, such as QEMU's VMBus emulation. The ranges appear to be optional since Windows guests function without them. The crash occurs during boot when the VMBus driver probes, affecting Linux guests under KVM/QEMU when using Hyper-V paravirtualization interfaces.
