GHSA-78CM-F398-H7CF

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-10-21 21:30 – Updated: 2024-10-24 18:30
VLAI
Details

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

usb: typec: tipd: Free IRQ only if it was requested before

In polling mode, if no IRQ was requested there is no need to free it. Call devm_free_irq() only if client->irq is set. This fixes the warning caused by the tps6598x module removal:

GHSA-7MV5-5MXH-QG88

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-08-30 18:45 – Updated: 2024-08-30 18:45
VLAI
Summary
nanopb vulnerable to invalid free() call with oneofs and PB_ENABLE_MALLOC
Details

Impact

Decoding a specifically formed message can cause invalid free() or realloc() calls if the message type contains an oneof field, and the oneof directly contains both a pointer field and a non-pointer field. If the message data first contains the non-pointer field and then the pointer field, the data of the non-pointer field is incorrectly treated as if it was a pointer value. Such message data rarely occurs in normal messages, but it is a concern when untrusted data is parsed.

Patches

Preliminary patch is available on git for 0.4.x and 0.3.x branches. The fix will be released in versions 0.3.9.8 and 0.4.5 once testing has been completed.

Workarounds

Following workarounds are available: * Set the option no_unions for the oneof field. This will generate fields as separate instead of C union, and avoids triggering the problematic code. * Set the type of all fields inside the oneof to FT_POINTER. This ensures that the data contained inside the union is always a valid pointer. * Heap implementations that guard against invalid free() provide a partial mitigation. Depending on the message type, the pointer value may be attacker controlled and can be used to bypass heap protections.

Copy_from_user on 64-bit versions of the Linux kernel does not implement the __uaccess_begin_nospec allowing a user to bypass the "access_ok" check and pass a kernel pointer to copy_from_user(). This would allow an attacker to leak information. We recommend upgrading beyond commit 74e19ef0ff8061ef55957c3abd71614ef0f42f47

GHSA-8VJX-3VGX-66MX

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2023-01-11 15:30 – Updated: 2023-01-19 15:30
VLAI
Details

There exists a use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel through io_uring and the IORING_OP_SPLICE operation. If IORING_OP_SPLICE is missing the IO_WQ_WORK_FILES flag, which signals that the operation won't use current->nsproxy, so its reference counter is not increased. This assumption is not always true as calling io_splice on specific files will call the get_uts function which will use current->nsproxy leading to invalidly decreasing its reference counter later causing the use-after-free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading to version 5.10.160 or above

Mitigation
Implementation

Only call matching memory management functions. Do not mix and match routines. For example, when you allocate a buffer with malloc(), dispose of the original pointer with free().

Mitigation
Implementation

When programming in C++, consider using smart pointers provided by the boost library to help correctly and consistently manage memory.

Mitigation MIT-4.6
Architecture and Design

Strategy: Libraries or Frameworks

  • Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
  • For example, glibc in Linux provides protection against free of invalid pointers.
Mitigation
Architecture and Design

Use a language that provides abstractions for memory allocation and deallocation.
