2024-12-29 CVE-2024-56730 NULL Pointer Dereference vulnerability in Linux Kernel 6.12
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/9p/usbg: fix handling of the failed kzalloc() memory allocation On the linux-next, next-20241108 vanilla kernel, the coccinelle tool gave the following error report: ./net/9p/trans_usbg.c:912:5-11: ERROR: allocation function on line 911 returns NULL not ERR_PTR on failure kzalloc() failure is fixed to handle the NULL return case on the memory exhaustion.

2024-12-29 CVE-2024-56739 Use of Uninitialized Resource vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: rtc: check if __rtc_read_time was successful in rtc_timer_do_work() If the __rtc_read_time call fails,, the struct rtc_time tm; may contain uninitialized data, or an illegal date/time read from the RTC hardware. When calling rtc_tm_to_ktime later, the result may be a very large value (possibly KTIME_MAX).

2024-12-29 CVE-2024-56740 Out-of-bounds Write vulnerability in Linux Kernel 6.12
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nfs/localio: must clear res.replen in nfs_local_read_done Otherwise memory corruption can occur due to NFSv3 LOCALIO reads leaving garbage in res.replen: - nfs3_read_done() copies that into server->read_hdrsize; from there nfs3_proc_read_setup() copies it to args.replen in new requests. - nfs3_xdr_enc_read3args() passes that to rpc_prepare_reply_pages() which includes it in hdrsize for xdr_init_pages, so that rq_rcv_buf contains a ridiculous len. - This is copied to rq_private_buf and xs_read_stream_request() eventually passes the kvec to sock_recvmsg() which receives incoming data into entirely the wrong place. This is easily reproduced with NFSv3 LOCALIO that is servicing reads when it is made to pivot back to using normal RPC.

2024-12-29 CVE-2024-56742 Memory Leak vulnerability in Linux Kernel
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: vfio/mlx5: Fix an unwind issue in mlx5vf_add_migration_pages() Fix an unwind issue in mlx5vf_add_migration_pages(). If a set of pages is allocated but fails to be added to the SG table, they need to be freed to prevent a memory leak. Any pages successfully added to the SG table will be freed as part of mlx5vf_free_data_buffer().
