Kernel Live Patch Security Notice
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: tls: fix use-after-free on failed backlog decryption When the
decrypt request goes to the backlog and crypto_aead_decrypt returns -EBUSY,
tls_do_decryption will wait until all async decryptions have completed. If
one of them fails, tls_do_decryption will return -EBADMSG and
tls_decrypt_sg jumps to the error path, releasing all the pages. But the
pages have been passed to the async callback, and have already been
released by tls_decrypt_done. The only true async case is when
crypto_aead_decrypt returns -EINPROGRESS. With -EBUSY, we already waited so
we can tell tls_sw_recvmsg that the data is available for immediate copy,
but we need to notify tls_decrypt_sg (via the new ->async_done flag) that
the memory has already been released.)(CVE-2024-26800)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: inet: inet_defrag: prevent sk release while still in use
ip_local_out() and other functions can pass skb->sk as function argument.
If the skb is a fragment and reassembly happens before such function call
returns, the sk must not be released. This affects skb fragments
reassembled via netfilter or similar modules, e.g. openvswitch or ct_act.c,
when run as part of tx pipeline. Eric Dumazet made an initial analysis of
this bug. Quoting Eric: Calling ip_defrag() in output path is also implying
skb_orphan(), which is buggy because output path relies on sk not
disappearing. A relevant old patch about the issue was : 8282f27449bf
('inet: frag: Always orphan skbs inside ip_defrag()') [..
net/ipv4/ip_output.c depends on skb->sk being set, and probably to an inet
socket, not an arbitrary one. If we orphan the packet in ipvlan, then
downstream things like FQ packet scheduler will not work properly. We need
to change ip_defrag() to only use skb_orphan() when really needed, ie
whenever frag_list is going to be used. Eric suggested to stash sk in
fragment queue and made an initial patch. However there is a problem with
this: If skb is refragmented again right after, ip_do_fragment() will copy
head->sk to the new fragments, and sets up destructor to sock_wfree. IOW,
we have no choice but to fix up sk_wmem accouting to reflect the fully
reassembled skb, else wmem will underflow. This change moves the orphan
down into the core, to last possible moment. As ip_defrag_offset is aliased
with sk_buff->sk member, we must move the offset into the FRAG_CB, else
skb->sk gets clobbered. This allows to delay the orphaning long enough to
learn if the skb has to be queued or if the skb is completing the reasm
queue. In the former case, things work as before, skb is orphaned. This is
safe because skb gets queued/stolen and won't continue past reasm engine.
In the latter case, we will steal the skb->sk reference, reattach it to the
head skb, and fix up wmem accouting when inet_frag inflates truesize.)(CVE-2024-26921)
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been
resolved: mm: swap: fix race between free_swap_and_cache() and swapoff()
There was previously a theoretical window where swapoff() could run and
teardown a swap_info_struct while a call to free_swap_and_cache() was
running in another thread. This could cause, amongst other bad
possibilities, swap_page_trans_huge_swapped() (called by
free_swap_and_cache()) to access the freed memory for swap_map. This is a
theoretical problem and I haven't been able to provoke it from a test case.
But there has been agreement based on code review that this is possible
(see link below). Fix it by using get_swap_device()/put_swap_device(),
which will stall swapoff(). There was an extra check in _swap_info_get() to
confirm that the swap entry was not free. This isn't present in
get_swap_device() because it doesn't make sense in general due to the race
between getting the reference and swapoff. So I've added an equivalent
check directly in free_swap_and_cache(). Details of how to provoke one
possible issue (thanks to David Hildenbrand for deriving this): --8<-----
__swap_entry_free() might be the last user and result in 'count ==
SWAP_HAS_CACHE'. swapoff->try_to_unuse() will stop as soon as soon as
si->inuse_pages==0. So the question is: could someone reclaim the folio and
turn si->inuse_pages==0, before we completed
swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(). Imagine the following: 2 MiB folio in the
swapcache. Only 2 subpages are still references by swap entries. Process 1
still references subpage 0 via swap entry. Process 2 still references
subpage 1 via swap entry. Process 1 quits. Calls free_swap_and_cache(). ->
count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE [then, preempted in the hypervisor etc.] Process 2
quits. Calls free_swap_and_cache(). -> count == SWAP_HAS_CACHE Process 2
goes ahead, passes swap_page_trans_huge_swapped(), and calls
__try_to_reclaim_swap().
