| An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation. This issue is fixed in tvOS 17.5, iOS 16.7.8 and iPadOS 16.7.8, visionOS 1.2, Safari 17.5, iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. |
| The issue was addressed with improved memory handling. This issue is fixed in tvOS 17.5, iOS 16.7.8 and iPadOS 16.7.8, visionOS 1.2, Safari 17.5, iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5, watchOS 10.5, macOS Sonoma 14.5. Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. |

| An issue was discovered in Ruby 3.x through 3.3.0. If attacker-supplied data is provided to the Ruby regex compiler, it is possible to extract arbitrary heap data relative to the start of the text, including pointers and sensitive strings. The fixed versions are 3.0.7, 3.1.5, 3.2.4, and 3.3.1. |
| An issue was discovered in RDoc 6.3.3 through 6.6.2, as distributed in Ruby 3.x through 3.3.0. When parsing .rdoc_options (used for configuration in RDoc) as a YAML file, object injection and resultant remote code execution are possible because there are no restrictions on the classes that can be restored. (When loading the documentation cache, object injection and resultant remote code execution are also possible if there were a crafted cache.) The main fixed version is 6.6.3.1. For Ruby 3.0 users, a fixed version is rdoc 6.3.4.1. For Ruby 3.1 users, a fixed version is rdoc 6.4.1.1. For Ruby 3.2 users, a fixed version is rdoc 6.5.1.1. |
| A buffer-overread issue was discovered in StringIO 3.0.1, as distributed in Ruby 3.0.x through 3.0.6 and 3.1.x through 3.1.4. The ungetbyte and ungetc methods on a StringIO can read past the end of a string, and a subsequent call to StringIO.gets may return the memory value. 3.0.3 is the main fixed version; however, for Ruby 3.0 users, a fixed version is stringio 3.0.1.1, and for Ruby 3.1 users, a fixed version is stringio 3.0.1.2. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fork: defer linking file vma until vma is fully initialized
Thorvald reported a WARNING [1]. And the root cause is below race:
CPU 1 CPU 2
fork hugetlbfs_fallocate
dup_mmap hugetlbfs_punch_hole
i_mmap_lock_write(mapping);
vma_interval_tree_insert_after -- Child vma is visible through i_mmap tree.
i_mmap_unlock_write(mapping);
hugetlb_dup_vma_private -- Clear vma_lock outside i_mmap_rwsem!
i_mmap_lock_write(mapping);
hugetlb_vmdelete_list
vma_interval_tree_foreach
hugetlb_vma_trylock_write -- Vma_lock is cleared.
tmp->vm_ops->open -- Alloc new vma_lock outside i_mmap_rwsem!
hugetlb_vma_unlock_write -- Vma_lock is assigned!!!
i_mmap_unlock_write(mapping);
hugetlb_dup_vma_private() and hugetlb_vm_op_open() are called outside
i_mmap_rwsem lock while vma lock can be used in the same time. Fix this
by deferring linking file vma until vma is fully initialized. Those vmas
should be initialized first before they can be used. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_expr_type_get()
nft_unregister_expr() can concurrent with __nft_expr_type_get(),
and there is not any protection when iterate over nf_tables_expressions
list in __nft_expr_type_get(). Therefore, there is potential data-race
of nf_tables_expressions list entry.
Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() to iterate over nf_tables_expressions
list in __nft_expr_type_get(), and use rcu_read_lock() in the caller
nft_expr_type_get() to protect the entire type query process. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: Fix potential data-race in __nft_obj_type_get()
nft_unregister_obj() can concurrent with __nft_obj_type_get(),
and there is not any protection when iterate over nf_tables_objects
list in __nft_obj_type_get(). Therefore, there is potential data-race
of nf_tables_objects list entry.
Use list_for_each_entry_rcu() to iterate over nf_tables_objects
list in __nft_obj_type_get(), and use rcu_read_lock() in the caller
nft_obj_type_get() to protect the entire type query process. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nft_set_pipapo: walk over current view on netlink dump
The generation mask can be updated while netlink dump is in progress.
The pipapo set backend walk iterator cannot rely on it to infer what
view of the datastructure is to be used. Add notation to specify if user
wants to read/update the set.
Based on patch from Florian Westphal. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: validate pppoe header
Ensure there is sufficient room to access the protocol field of the
PPPoe header. Validate it once before the flowtable lookup, then use a
helper function to access protocol field. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: flowtable: incorrect pppoe tuple
pppoe traffic reaching ingress path does not match the flowtable entry
because the pppoe header is expected to be at the network header offset.
This bug causes a mismatch in the flow table lookup, so pppoe packets
enter the classical forwarding path. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net/mlx5e: Prevent deadlock while disabling aRFS
When disabling aRFS under the `priv->state_lock`, any scheduled
aRFS works are canceled using the `cancel_work_sync` function,
which waits for the work to end if it has already started.
However, while waiting for the work handler, the handler will
try to acquire the `state_lock` which is already acquired.
The worker acquires the lock to delete the rules if the state
is down, which is not the worker's responsibility since
disabling aRFS deletes the rules.
Add an aRFS state variable, which indicates whether the aRFS is
enabled and prevent adding rules when the aRFS is disabled.

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
netfilter: nf_tables: restore set elements when delete set fails
From abort path, nft_mapelem_activate() needs to restore refcounters to
the original state. Currently, it uses the set->ops->walk() to iterate
over these set elements. The existing set iterator skips inactive
elements in the next generation, this does not work from the abort path
to restore the original state since it has to skip active elements
instead (not inactive ones).
This patch moves the check for inactive elements to the set iterator
callback, then it reverses the logic for the .activate case which
needs to skip active elements.
Toggle next generation bit for elements when delete set command is
invoked and call nft_clear() from .activate (abort) path to restore the
next generation bit.
The splat below shows an object in mappings memleak:

netfilter: nf_tables: fix memleak in map from abort path
The delete set command does not rely on the transaction object for
element removal, therefore, a combination of delete element + delete set
from the abort path could result in restoring twice the refcount of the
mapping.
Check for inactive element in the next generation for the delete element
command in the abort path, skip restoring state if next generation bit
has been already cleared. This is similar to the activate logic using
the set walk iterator.

Example setup (eth0->eth0) to recreate
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30
tc filter add dev eth0 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall \
action mirred egress redirect dev eth0
Another example(eth0->eth1->eth0) to recreate
tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 30
tc filter add dev eth0 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall \
action mirred egress redirect dev eth1
tc qdisc add dev eth1 root handle 1: htb default 30
tc filter add dev eth1 handle 1: protocol ip prio 2 matchall \
action mirred egress redirect dev eth0
We fix this by adding an owner field (CPU id) to struct Qdisc set after
root qdisc is entered. When the softirq enters it a second time, if the
qdisc owner is the same CPU, the packet is dropped to break the loop. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
clk: Get runtime PM before walking tree for clk_summary
Similar to the previous commit, we should make sure that all devices are
runtime resumed before printing the clk_summary through debugfs. Failure
to do so would result in a deadlock if the thread is resuming a device
to print clk state and that device is also runtime resuming in another
thread, e.g the screen is turning on and the display driver is starting
up. We remove the calls to clk_pm_runtime_{get,put}() in this path
because they're superfluous now that we know the devices are runtime
resumed. This also squashes a bug where the return value of
clk_pm_runtime_get() wasn't checked, leading to an RPM count underflow
on error paths. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
fs: sysfs: Fix reference leak in sysfs_break_active_protection()
The sysfs_break_active_protection() routine has an obvious reference
leak in its error path. If the call to kernfs_find_and_get() fails then
kn will be NULL, so the companion sysfs_unbreak_active_protection()
routine won't get called (and would only cause an access violation by
trying to dereference kn->parent if it was called). As a result, the
reference to kobj acquired at the start of the function will never be
released.
Fix the leak by adding an explicit kobject_put() call when kn is NULL. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
KVM: x86/pmu: Disable support for adaptive PEBS
Drop support for virtualizing adaptive PEBS, as KVM's implementation is
architecturally broken without an obvious/easy path forward, and because
exposing adaptive PEBS can leak host LBRs to the guest, i.e. can leak
host kernel addresses to the guest.
Bug #1 is that KVM doesn't account for the upper 32 bits of
IA32_FIXED_CTR_CTRL when (re)programming fixed counters, e.g
fixed_ctrl_field() drops the upper bits, reprogram_fixed_counters()
stores local variables as u8s and truncates the upper bits too, etc.
Bug #2 is that, because KVM _always_ sets precise_ip to a non-zero value
for PEBS events, perf will _always_ generate an adaptive record, even if
the guest requested a basic record. Note, KVM will also enable adaptive
PEBS in individual *counter*, even if adaptive PEBS isn't exposed to the
guest, but this is benign as MSR_PEBS_DATA_CFG is guaranteed to be zero,
i.e. the guest will only ever see Basic records.
Bug #3 is in perf. intel_pmu_disable_fixed() doesn't clear the upper
bits either, i.e. leaves ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE set, and
intel_pmu_enable_fixed() effectively doesn't clear ICL_FIXED_0_ADAPTIVE
either. I.e. perf _always_ enables ADAPTIVE counters, regardless of what
KVM requests.
Bug #4 is that adaptive PEBS *might* effectively bypass event filters set
by the host, as "Updated Memory Access Info Group" records information
that might be disallowed by userspace via KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER.
Bug #5 is that KVM doesn't ensure LBR MSRs hold guest values (or at least
zeros) when entering a vCPU with adaptive PEBS, which allows the guest
to read host LBRs, i.e. host RIPs/addresses, by enabling "LBR Entries"
records.
Disable adaptive PEBS support as an immediate fix due to the severity of
the LBR leak in particular, and because fixing all of the bugs will be
non-trivial, e.g. not suitable for backporting to stable kernels.
Note! This will break live migration, but trying to make KVM play nice
with live migration would be quite complicated, wouldn't be guaranteed to
work (i.e. KVM might still kill/confuse the guest), and it's not clear
that there are any publicly available VMMs that support adaptive PEBS,
let alone live migrate VMs that support adaptive PEBS, e.g. QEMU doesn't
support PEBS in any capacity. |
