|---|---|---|---|
| 2024-11-19 | CVE-2024-53080 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Lock XArray when getting entries for the VM Similar to commit cac075706f29 ("drm/panthor: Fix race when converting group handle to group object") we need to use the XArray's internal locking when retrieving a vm pointer from there. v2: Removed part of the patch that was trying to protect fetching the heap pointer from XArray, as that operation is protected by the @pool->lock. | 5.5 |
| 2024-11-19 | CVE-2024-53085 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tpm: Lock TPM chip in tpm_pm_suspend() first Setting TPM_CHIP_FLAG_SUSPENDED in the end of tpm_pm_suspend() can be racy according, as this leaves window for tpm_hwrng_read() to be called while the operation is in progress. | 5.5 |
| 2024-11-19 | CVE-2024-53086 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe: Drop VM dma-resv lock on xe_sync_in_fence_get failure in exec IOCTL Upon failure all locks need to be dropped before returning to the user. (cherry picked from commit 7d1a4258e602ffdce529f56686925034c1b3b095) | 5.5 |
| 2024-11-09 | CVE-2024-50229 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix potential deadlock with newly created symlinks Syzbot reported that page_symlink(), called by nilfs_symlink(), triggers memory reclamation involving the filesystem layer, which can result in circular lock dependencies among the reader/writer semaphore nilfs->ns_segctor_sem, s_writers percpu_rwsem (intwrite) and the fs_reclaim pseudo lock. This is because after commit 21fc61c73c39 ("don't put symlink bodies in pagecache into highmem"), the gfp flags of the page cache for symbolic links are overwritten to GFP_KERNEL via inode_nohighmem(). This is not a problem for symlinks read from the backing device, because the __GFP_FS flag is dropped after inode_nohighmem() is called. | 5.5 |
| 2024-11-08 | CVE-2024-50207 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ring-buffer: Fix reader locking when changing the sub buffer order The function ring_buffer_subbuf_order_set() updates each ring_buffer_per_cpu and installs new sub buffers that match the requested page order. | 5.5 |
| 2024-11-08 | CVE-2024-50210 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: posix-clock: posix-clock: Fix unbalanced locking in pc_clock_settime() If get_clock_desc() succeeds, it calls fget() for the clockid's fd, and get the clk->rwsem read lock, so the error path should release the lock to make the lock balance and fput the clockid's fd to make the refcount balance and release the fd related resource. However the below commit left the error path locked behind resulting in unbalanced locking. | 5.5 |

| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2024-50006 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ext4: fix i_data_sem unlock order in ext4_ind_migrate() Fuzzing reports a possible deadlock in jbd2_log_wait_commit. This issue is triggered when an EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE ioctl is set to require synchronous updates because the file descriptor is opened with O_SYNC. This can lead to the jbd2_journal_stop() function calling jbd2_might_wait_for_commit(), potentially causing a deadlock if the EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE call races with a write(2) system call. This problem only arises when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is enabled. | 4.7 |
| 2024-10-21 | CVE-2024-49943 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/guc_submit: add missing locking in wedged_fini Any non-wedged queue can have a zero refcount here and can be running concurrently with an async queue destroy, therefore dereferencing the queue ptr to check wedge status after the lookup can trigger UAF if queue is not wedged. | 5.5 |
