2025-01-08 CVE-2024-56779 Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfsd: fix nfs4_openowner leak when concurrent nfsd4_open occur The action force umount(umount -f) will attempt to kill all rpc_task even umount operation may ultimately fail if some files remain open. Consequently, if an action attempts to open a file, it can potentially send two rpc_task to nfs server. NFS CLIENT thread1 thread2 open("file") ... nfs4_do_open _nfs4_do_open _nfs4_open_and_get_state _nfs4_proc_open nfs4_run_open_task /* rpc_task1 */ rpc_run_task rpc_wait_for_completion_task umount -f nfs_umount_begin rpc_killall_tasks rpc_signal_task rpc_task1 been wakeup and return -512 _nfs4_do_open // while loop ... nfs4_run_open_task /* rpc_task2 */ rpc_run_task rpc_wait_for_completion_task While processing an open request, nfsd will first attempt to find or allocate an nfs4_openowner.

2025-01-08 CVE-2024-56780 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: quota: flush quota_release_work upon quota writeback One of the paths quota writeback is called from is: freeze_super() sync_filesystem() ext4_sync_fs() dquot_writeback_dquots() Since we currently don't always flush the quota_release_work queue in this path, we can end up with the following race: 1.

2025-01-08 CVE-2024-56781 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/prom_init: Fixup missing powermac #size-cells On some powermacs `escc` nodes are missing `#size-cells` properties, which is deprecated and now triggers a warning at boot since commit 045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells handling"). For example: Missing '#size-cells' in /pci@f2000000/mac-io@c/escc@13000 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at drivers/of/base.c:133 of_bus_n_size_cells+0x98/0x108 Hardware name: PowerMac3,1 7400 0xc0209 PowerMac ...

2025-01-08 CVE-2024-56782 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ACPI: x86: Add adev NULL check to acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() acpi_dev_hid_match() does not check for adev == NULL, dereferencing it unconditional. Add a check for adev being NULL before calling acpi_dev_hid_match(). At the moment acpi_quirk_skip_serdev_enumeration() is never called with a controller_parent without an ACPI companion, but better safe than sorry.

2025-01-08 CVE-2024-56785 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Really fix PCIe port nodes for ls7a Fix the dtc warnings: arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:68.16-416.5: Warning (interrupt_provider): /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000: '#interrupt-cells' found, but node is not an interrupt provider arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/ls7a-pch.dtsi:68.16-416.5: Warning (interrupt_provider): /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000: '#interrupt-cells' found, but node is not an interrupt provider arch/mips/boot/dts/loongson/loongson64g_4core_ls7a.dtb: Warning (interrupt_map): Failed prerequisite 'interrupt_provider' And a runtime warning introduced in commit 045b14ca5c36 ("of: WARN on deprecated #address-cells/#size-cells handling"): WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at drivers/of/base.c:106 of_bus_n_addr_cells+0x9c/0xe0 Missing '#address-cells' in /bus@10000000/pci@1a000000/pci_bridge@9,0 The fix is similar to commit d89a415ff8d5 ("MIPS: Loongson64: DTS: Fix PCIe port nodes for ls7a"), which has fixed the issue for ls2k (despite its subject mentions ls7a).

2025-01-08 CVE-2024-56786 Unspecified vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: put bpf_link's program when link is safe to be deallocated In general, BPF link's underlying BPF program should be considered to be reachable through attach hook -> link -> prog chain, and, pessimistically, we have to assume that as long as link's memory is not safe to free, attach hook's code might hold a pointer to BPF program and use it. As such, it's not (generally) correct to put link's program early before waiting for RCU GPs to go through.
