| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50115 | Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: nSVM: Ignore nCR3[4:0] when loading PDPTEs from memory Ignore nCR3[4:0] when loading PDPTEs from memory for nested SVM, as bits 4:0 of CR3 are ignored when PAE paging is used, and thus VMRUN doesn't enforce 32-byte alignment of nCR3. In the absolute worst case scenario, failure to ignore bits 4:0 can result in an out-of-bounds read, e.g. | 7.1 |
| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50116 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nilfs2: fix kernel bug due to missing clearing of buffer delay flag Syzbot reported that after nilfs2 reads a corrupted file system image and degrades to read-only, the BUG_ON check for the buffer delay flag in submit_bh_wbc() may fail, causing a kernel bug. This is because the buffer delay flag is not cleared when clearing the buffer state flags to discard a page/folio or a buffer head. | 5.5 |
| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50117 | NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/amd: Guard against bad data for ATIF ACPI method If a BIOS provides bad data in response to an ATIF method call this causes a NULL pointer dereference in the caller. ``` ? show_regs (arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c:478 (discriminator 1)) ? __die (arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c:423 arch/x86/kernel/dumpstack.c:434) ? page_fault_oops (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:544 (discriminator 2) arch/x86/mm/fault.c:705 (discriminator 2)) ? do_user_addr_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:440 (discriminator 1) arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1232 (discriminator 1)) ? acpi_ut_update_object_reference (drivers/acpi/acpica/utdelete.c:642) ? exc_page_fault (arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1542) ? asm_exc_page_fault (./arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h:623) ? amdgpu_atif_query_backlight_caps.constprop.0 (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_acpi.c:387 (discriminator 2)) amdgpu ? amdgpu_atif_query_backlight_caps.constprop.0 (drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_acpi.c:386 (discriminator 1)) amdgpu ``` It has been encountered on at least one system, so guard for it.

| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50127 | Use After Free vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: sched: fix use-after-free in taprio_change() In 'taprio_change()', 'admin' pointer may become dangling due to sched switch / removal caused by 'advance_sched()', and critical section protected by 'q->current_entry_lock' is too small to prevent from such a scenario (which causes use-after-free detected by KASAN). | 7.8 |
| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50131 | Classic Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tracing: Consider the NULL character when validating the event length strlen() returns a string length excluding the null byte. | 7.8 |
| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50134 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/vboxvideo: Replace fake VLA at end of vbva_mouse_pointer_shape with real VLA Replace the fake VLA at end of the vbva_mouse_pointer_shape shape with a real VLA to fix a "memcpy: detected field-spanning write error" warning: [ 13.319813] memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 16896) of single field "p->data" at drivers/gpu/drm/vboxvideo/hgsmi_base.c:154 (size 4) [ 13.319841] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1105 at drivers/gpu/drm/vboxvideo/hgsmi_base.c:154 hgsmi_update_pointer_shape+0x192/0x1c0 [vboxvideo] [ 13.320038] Call Trace: [ 13.320173] hgsmi_update_pointer_shape [vboxvideo] [ 13.320184] vbox_cursor_atomic_update [vboxvideo] Note as mentioned in the added comment it seems the original length calculation for the allocated and send hgsmi buffer is 4 bytes too large. Changing this is not the goal of this patch, so this behavior is kept. | 5.5 |
| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50135 | Race Condition vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvme-pci: fix race condition between reset and nvme_dev_disable() nvme_dev_disable() modifies the dev->online_queues field, therefore nvme_pci_update_nr_queues() should avoid racing against it, otherwise we could end up passing invalid values to blk_mq_update_nr_hw_queues().

| 2024-11-05 | CVE-2024-50090 | Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/xe/oa: Fix overflow in oa batch buffer By default xe_bb_create_job() appends a MI_BATCH_BUFFER_END to batch buffer, this is not a problem if batch buffer is only used once but oa reuses the batch buffer for the same metric and at each call it appends a MI_BATCH_BUFFER_END, printing the warning below and then overflowing.
