| 2024-06-19 | CVE-2024-38598 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: md: fix resync softlockup when bitmap size is less than array size Is is reported that for dm-raid10, lvextend + lvchange --syncaction will trigger following softlockup: kernel:watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#3 stuck for 26s! [mdX_resync:6976] CPU: 7 PID: 3588 Comm: mdX_resync Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.9.0-rc4-next-20240419 #1 RIP: 0010:_raw_spin_unlock_irq+0x13/0x30 Call Trace: <TASK> md_bitmap_start_sync+0x6b/0xf0 raid10_sync_request+0x25c/0x1b40 [raid10] md_do_sync+0x64b/0x1020 md_thread+0xa7/0x170 kthread+0xcf/0x100 ret_from_fork+0x30/0x50 ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 And the detailed process is as follows: md_do_sync j = mddev->resync_min while (j < max_sectors) sectors = raid10_sync_request(mddev, j, &skipped) if (!md_bitmap_start_sync(..., &sync_blocks)) // md_bitmap_start_sync set sync_blocks to 0 return sync_blocks + sectors_skippe; // sectors = 0; j += sectors; // j never change Root cause is that commit 301867b1c168 ("md/raid10: check slab-out-of-bounds in md_bitmap_get_counter") return early from md_bitmap_get_counter(), without setting returned blocks. Fix this problem by always set returned blocks from md_bitmap_get_counter"(), as it used to be. Noted that this patch just fix the softlockup problem in kernel, the case that bitmap size doesn't match array size still need to be fixed. | 5.5 |
| 2024-06-19 | CVE-2024-38600 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ALSA: Fix deadlocks with kctl removals at disconnection In snd_card_disconnect(), we set card->shutdown flag at the beginning, call callbacks and do sync for card->power_ref_sleep waiters at the end. | 5.5 |
| 2024-06-18 | CVE-2024-36976 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel 6.9/6.9.1/6.9.2 In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Revert "media: v4l2-ctrls: show all owned controls in log_status" This reverts commit 9801b5b28c6929139d6fceeee8d739cc67bb2739. This patch introduced a potential deadlock scenario: [Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] Possible unsafe locking scenario: [Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] CPU0 CPU1 [Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] ---- ---- [Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] lock(vivid_ctrls:1620:(hdl_vid_cap)->_lock); [Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] lock(vivid_ctrls:1608:(hdl_user_vid)->_lock); [Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] lock(vivid_ctrls:1620:(hdl_vid_cap)->_lock); [Wed May 8 10:02:06 2024] lock(vivid_ctrls:1608:(hdl_user_vid)->_lock); For now just revert. | 5.5 |
| 2024-06-13 | CVE-2024-32900 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Google Android In lwis_fence_signal of lwis_debug.c, there is a possible Use after Free due to improper locking. | 7.8 |
| 2024-05-20 | CVE-2024-35990 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: dma: xilinx_dpdma: Fix locking There are several places where either chan->lock or chan->vchan.lock was not held. | 5.5 |
| 2024-05-20 | CVE-2024-35997 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: i2c-hid: remove I2C_HID_READ_PENDING flag to prevent lock-up The flag I2C_HID_READ_PENDING is used to serialize I2C operations. However, this is not necessary, because I2C core already has its own locking for that. More importantly, this flag can cause a lock-up: if the flag is set in i2c_hid_xfer() and an interrupt happens, the interrupt handler (i2c_hid_irq) will check this flag and return immediately without doing anything, then the interrupt handler will be invoked again in an infinite loop. Since interrupt handler is an RT task, it takes over the CPU and the flag-clearing task never gets scheduled, thus we have a lock-up. Delete this unnecessary flag. | 5.5 |
| 2024-05-03 | CVE-2022-48671 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: cgroup: Add missing cpus_read_lock() to cgroup_attach_task_all() syzbot is hitting percpu_rwsem_assert_held(&cpu_hotplug_lock) warning at cpuset_attach() [1], for commit 4f7e7236435ca0ab ("cgroup: Fix threadgroup_rwsem <-> cpus_read_lock() deadlock") missed that cpuset_attach() is also called from cgroup_attach_task_all(). Add cpus_read_lock() like what cgroup_procs_write_start() does. | 5.5 |
| 2024-05-03 | CVE-2022-48675 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: IB/core: Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow Fix a nested dead lock as part of ODP flow by using mmput_async(). From the below call trace [1] can see that calling mmput() once we have the umem_odp->umem_mutex locked as required by ib_umem_odp_map_dma_and_lock() might trigger in the same task the exit_mmap()->__mmu_notifier_release()->mlx5_ib_invalidate_range() which may dead lock when trying to lock the same mutex. Moving to use mmput_async() will solve the problem as the above exit_mmap() flow will be called in other task and will be executed once the lock will be available.

| 2024-05-01 | CVE-2024-26933 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: core: Fix deadlock in port "disable" sysfs attribute The show and store callback routines for the "disable" sysfs attribute file in port.c acquire the device lock for the port's parent hub device. | 7.8 |
| 2024-05-01 | CVE-2024-26934 | Improper Locking vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: USB: core: Fix deadlock in usb_deauthorize_interface() Among the attribute file callback routines in drivers/usb/core/sysfs.c, the interface_authorized_store() function is the only one which acquires a device lock on an ancestor device: It calls usb_deauthorize_interface(), which locks the interface's parent USB device. The will lead to deadlock if another process already owns that lock and tries to remove the interface, whether through a configuration change or because the device has been disconnected. | 7.8 |
