OESA-2025-1113

The Linux Kernel, the operating system core itself.

Security Fix(es):

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

pinmux: Use sequential access to access desc->pinmux data

When two client of the same gpio call pinctrl_select_state() for the same functionality, we are seeing NULL pointer issue while accessing desc->mux_owner.

Let's say two processes A, B executing in pin_request() for the same pin and process A updates the desc->mux_usecount but not yet updated the desc->mux_owner while process B see the desc->mux_usecount which got updated by A path and further executes strcmp and while accessing desc->mux_owner it crashes with NULL pointer.

Serialize the access to mux related setting with a mutex lock.

cpu0 (process A)			cpu1(process B)

pinctrl_select_state() { pinctrl_select_state() { pin_request() { pin_request() { ... .... } else { desc->mux_usecount++; desc->mux_usecount && strcmp(desc->mux_owner, owner)) {

     if (desc->mux_usecount > 1)
           return 0;
     desc->mux_owner = owner;

} }(CVE-2024-47141)

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

net/smc: check iparea_offset and ipv6_prefixes_cnt when receiving proposal msg

When receiving proposal msg in server, the field iparea_offset and the field ipv6_prefixes_cnt in proposal msg are from the remote client and can not be fully trusted. Especially the field iparea_offset, once exceed the max value, there has the chance to access wrong address, and crash may happen.

This patch checks iparea_offset and ipv6_prefixes_cnt before using them.(CVE-2024-49571)

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

spi: mpc52xx: Add cancel_work_sync before module remove

If we remove the module which will call mpc52xx_spi_remove it will free 'ms' through spi_unregister_controller. while the work ms->work will be used. The sequence of operations that may lead to a UAF bug.

Fix it by ensuring that the work is canceled before proceeding with the cleanup in mpc52xx_spi_remove.(CVE-2024-50051)

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

usb: typec: fix potential array underflow in ucsi_ccg_sync_control()

The "command" variable can be controlled by the user via debugfs. The worry is that if con_index is zero then "&uc->ucsi->connector[con_index

• 1]" would be an array underflow.(CVE-2024-53203)

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

zram: fix NULL pointer in comp_algorithm_show()

LTP reported a NULL pointer dereference as followed:

The zram->comp_algs[ZRAM_PRIMARY_COMP] can be NULL in zram_add() if comp_algorithm_set() has not been called. User can access the zram device by sysfs after device_add_disk(), so there is a time window to trigger the NULL pointer dereference. Move it ahead device_add_disk() to make sure when user can access the zram device, it is ready. comp_algorithm_set() is protected by zram->init_lock in other places and no such problem.(CVE-2024-53222)

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

nilfs2: prevent use of deleted inode

syzbot reported a WARNING in nilfs_rmdir. [1]

Because the inode bitmap is corrupted, an inode with an inode number that should exist as a ".nilfs" file was reassigned by nilfs_mkdir for "file0", causing an inode duplication during execution. And this causes an underflow of i_nlink in rmdir operations.

The inode is used twice by the same task to unmount and remove directories ".nilfs" and "file0", it trigger warning in nilfs_rmdir.

Avoid to this issue, check i_nlink in nilfs_iget(), if it is 0, it means that this inode has been deleted, and iput is executed to reclaim it.

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

drm: adv7511: Fix use-after-free in adv7533_attach_dsi()

The host_node pointer was assigned and freed in adv7533_parse_dt(), and later, adv7533_attach_dsi() uses the same. Fix this use-after-free issue by dropping of_node_put() in adv7533_parse_dt() and calling of_node_put() in error path of probe() and also in the remove().(CVE-2024-57887)

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

ALSA: seq: oss: Fix races at processing SysEx messages

OSS sequencer handles the SysEx messages split in 6 bytes packets, and ALSA sequencer OSS layer tries to combine those. It stores the data in the internal buffer and this access is racy as of now, which may lead to the out-of-bounds access.

As a temporary band-aid fix, introduce a mutex for serializing the process of the SysEx message packets.(CVE-2024-57893)

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

iio: light: vcnl4035: fix information leak in triggered buffer

The 'buffer' local array is used to push data to userspace from a triggered buffer, but it does not set an initial value for the single data element, which is an u16 aligned to 8 bytes. That leaves at least 4 bytes uninitialized even after writing an integer value with regmap_read().

Initialize the array to zero before using it to avoid pushing uninitialized information to userspace.(CVE-2024-57910)
