🛡️ AZL-40497 — hyperv-daemons

CVE-2024-26951 affecting package hyperv-daemons for versions less than 5.15.158.1-1

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

wireguard: netlink: check for dangling peer via is_dead instead of empty list

If all peers are removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), rather than setting

peer_list to empty, the peer is added to a temporary list with a head on

the stack of wg_peer_remove_all(). If a netlink dump is resumed and the

cursored peer is one that has been removed via wg_peer_remove_all(), it

will iterate from that peer and then attempt to dump freed peers.

Fix this by instead checking peer->is_dead, which was explictly created

for this purpose. Also move up the device_update_lock lockdep assertion,

since reading is_dead relies on that.

It can be reproduced by a small script like:

echo "Setting config..."

ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard

wg setconf wg0 /big-config

(

while true; do

echo "Showing config..."

wg showconf wg0 > /dev/null

done

) &

sleep 4

wg setconf wg0 <(printf "[Peer]\nPublicKey=$(wg genkey)\n")

Resulting in:
