Security Bulletin
Summary
The following vulnerabilities, which can affect IBM Storage Scale System could provide weaker-than-expected security, are now fixed in Storage Scale System 6.2.3.3 and 7.0.0.0 or higher (CVE-2024-50058, CVE-2024-46697, CVE-2024-43855, CVE-2024-42294, CVE-2024-36930, CVE-2024-42316, CVE-2024-42302, CVE-2024-41012, CVE-2024-41020, CVE-2024-26708, CVE-2024-26725, CVE-2024-42090, CVE-2024-26734, CVE-2024-26782, CVE-2024-26900, CVE-2024-4741, CVE-2024-2511).
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2024-42302
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
PCI/DPC: Fix use-after-free on concurrent DPC and hot-removal
Keith reports a use-after-free when a DPC event occurs concurrently to
hot-removal of the same portion of the hierarchy:
The dpc_handler() awaits readiness of the secondary bus below the
Downstream Port where the DPC event occurred. To do so, it polls the
config space of the first child device on the secondary bus. If that
child device is concurrently removed, accesses to its struct pci_dev
cause the kernel to oops.
That's because pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() neglects to hold a
reference on the child device. Before v6.3, the function was only
called on resume from system sleep or on runtime resume. Holding a
reference wasn't necessary back then because the pciehp IRQ thread
could never run concurrently. (On resume from system sleep, IRQs are
not enabled until after the resume_noirq phase. And runtime resume is
always awaited before a PCI device is removed.)
However starting with v6.3, pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() is also
called on a DPC event. Commit 53b54ad074de ("PCI/DPC: Await readiness
of secondary bus after reset"), which introduced that, failed to
appreciate that pci_bridge_wait_for_secondary_bus() now needs to hold a
reference on the child device because dpc_handler() and pciehp may
indeed run concurrently. The commit was backported to v5.10+ stable
kernels, so that's the oldest one affected.
Add the missing reference acquisition.

SCSI does not set GD_OWNS_QUEUE, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is not set in

make sure we don't try to acquire disk->open_mutex after freezing
the queue.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
serial: protect uart_port_dtr_rts() in uart_shutdown() too
Commit af224ca2df29 (serial: core: Prevent unsafe uart port access, part
3) added few uport == NULL checks. It added one to uart_shutdown(), so
the commit assumes, uport can be NULL in there. But right after that
protection, there is an unprotected "uart_port_dtr_rts(uport, false);"
call. That is invoked only if HUPCL is set, so I assume that is the
reason why we do not see lots of these reports.
Or it cannot be NULL at this point at all for some reason :P.
Until the above is investigated, stay on the safe side and move this
dereference to the if too.
I got this inconsistency from Coverity under CID 1585130. Thanks.

mptcp: fix double-free on socket dismantle
when MPTCP server accepts an incoming connection, it clones its listener
socket. However, the pointer to 'inet_opt' for the new socket has the same

CVEID: CVE-2024-4741
DESCRIPTION: Issue summary: Calling the OpenSSL API function SSL_free_buffers may cause
memory to be accessed that was previously freed in some situations
Impact summary: A use after free can have a range of potential consequences such
as the corruption of valid data, crashes or execution of arbitrary code.
However, only applications that directly call the SSL_free_buffers function are
affected by this issue. Applications that do not call this function are not
vulnerable. Our investigations indicate that this function is rarely used by
applications.
The SSL_free_buffers function is used to free the internal OpenSSL buffer used
when processing an incoming record from the network. The call is only expected
to succeed if the buffer is not currently in use. However, two scenarios have
been identified where the buffer is freed even when still in use.
The first scenario occurs where a record header has been received from the
network and processed by OpenSSL, but the full record body has not yet arrived.
In this case calling SSL_free_buffers will succeed even though a record has only
been partially processed and the buffer is still in use.
The second scenario occurs where a full record containing application data has
been received and processed by OpenSSL but the application has only read part of
this data. Again a call to SSL_free_buffers will succeed even though the buffer
is still in use.
While these scenarios could occur accidentally during normal operation a
malicious attacker could attempt to engineer a stituation where this occurs.
We are not aware of this issue being actively exploited.
The FIPS modules in 3.3, 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
md: fix deadlock between mddev_suspend and flush bio
Deadlock occurs when mddev is being suspended while some flush bio is in
progress. It is a complex issue.
T1. the first flush is at the ending stage, it clears 'mddev->flush_bio'
and tries to submit data, but is blocked because mddev is suspended
by T4.
T2. the second flush sets 'mddev->flush_bio', and attempts to queue
md_submit_flush_data(), which is already running (T1) and won't
execute again if on the same CPU as T1.
T3. the third flush inc active_io and tries to flush, but is blocked because
'mddev->flush_bio' is not NULL (set by T2).
T4. mddev_suspend() is called and waits for active_io dec to 0 which is inc
by T3.
T1 T2 T3 T4
(flush 1) (flush 2) (third 3) (suspend)

mddev->flush_bio = NULL;
.
. md_flush_request
. mddev->flush_bio = bio

. . wait !active_io
. .
. submit_flushes
. queue_work md_submit_flush_data
. //md_submit_flush_data is already running (T1)
.
md_handle_request
wait resume
The root issue is non-atomic inc/dec of active_io during flush process.
active_io is dec before md_submit_flush_data is queued, and inc soon
after md_submit_flush_data() run.
md_flush_request
active_io + 1
submit_flushes
active_io - 1
md_submit_flush_data
md_handle_request
active_io + 1
make_request
active_io - 1
If active_io is dec after md_handle_request() instead of within
submit_flushes(), make_request() can be called directly intead of
md_handle_request() in md_submit_flush_data(), and active_io will
only inc and dec once in the whole flush process. Deadlock will be
fixed.
Additionally, the only difference between fixing the issue and before is
that there is no return error handling of make_request(). But after
previous patch cleaned md_write_start(), make_requst() only return error
in raid5_make_request() by dm-raid, see commit 41425f96d7aa ("dm-raid456,
md/raid456: fix a deadlock for dm-raid456 while io concurrent with
reshape)". Since dm always splits data and flush operation into two
separate io, io size of flush submitted by dm always is 0, make_request()
will not be called in md_submit_flush_data(). To prevent future
modifications from introducing issues, add WARN_ON to ensure
make_request() no error is returned in this context.

[52804.661077] Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[52804.661671] CPU0 CPU1
[52804.662129] ---- ----
[52804.662577] lock(dpll_lock);
[52804.662924] lock(nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC);

[52804.664073] lock(nlk_cb_mutex-GENERIC);
[52804.664490]
The issue as follows: __netlink_dump_start() calls control->start(cb)
with nlk->cb_mutex held. In control->start(cb) the dpll_lock is taken.
Then nlk->cb_mutex is released and taken again in netlink_dump(), while
dpll_lock still being held. That leads to ABBA deadlock when another
CPU races with the same operation.
Fix this by moving dpll_lock taking into dumpit() callback which ensures
correct lock taking order.

CVEID: CVE-2024-2511
DESCRIPTION: Issue summary: Some non-default TLS server configurations can cause unbounded
memory growth when processing TLSv1.3 sessions
Impact summary: An attacker may exploit certain server configurations to trigger
unbounded memory growth that would lead to a Denial of Service
This problem can occur in TLSv1.3 if the non-default SSL_OP_NO_TICKET option is
being used (but not if early_data support is also configured and the default
anti-replay protection is in use). In this case, under certain conditions, the
session cache can get into an incorrect state and it will fail to flush properly
as it fills. The session cache will continue to grow in an unbounded manner. A
malicious client could deliberately create the scenario for this failure to
force a Denial of Service. It may also happen by accident in normal operation.
This issue only affects TLS servers supporting TLSv1.3. It does not affect TLS
clients.
The FIPS modules in 3.2, 3.1 and 3.0 are not affected by this issue. OpenSSL
1.0.2 is also not affected by this issue.

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

Fastopen and PM-trigger subflow shutdown can race, as reported by

the subflow status can change again before the subflow_state_change
callback is invoked.
Address the issue additionally copying with all the states directly
reachable from TCP_FIN_WAIT1.

CVEID: CVE-2024-42316
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mm/mglru: fix div-by-zero in vmpressure_calc_level()
evict_folios() uses a second pass to reclaim folios that have gone through
page writeback and become clean before it finishes the first pass, since
folio_rotate_reclaimable() cannot handle those folios due to the
isolation.
The second pass tries to avoid potential double counting by deducting
scan_control->nr_scanned. However, this can result in underflow of
nr_scanned, under a condition where shrink_folio_list() does not increment
nr_scanned, i.e., when folio_trylock() fails.
The underflow can cause the divisor, i.e., scale=scanned+reclaimed in
vmpressure_calc_level(), to become zero, resulting in the following crash:
[exception RIP: vmpressure_work_fn+101]
process_one_work at ffffffffa3313f2b
Since scan_control->nr_scanned has no established semantics, the potential
double counting has minimal risks. Therefore, fix the problem by not
deducting scan_control->nr_scanned in evict_folios().

CVEID: CVE-2024-41012
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
filelock: Remove locks reliably when fcntl/close race is detected
When fcntl_setlk() races with close(), it removes the created lock with
do_lock_file_wait().
However, LSMs can allow the first do_lock_file_wait() that created the lock
while denying the second do_lock_file_wait() that tries to remove the lock.
Separately, posix_lock_file() could also fail to
remove a lock due to GFP_KERNEL allocation failure (when splitting a range
in the middle).
After the bug has been triggered, use-after-free reads will occur in
lock_get_status() when userspace reads /proc/locks. This can likely be used
to read arbitrary kernel memory, but can't corrupt kernel memory.
Fix it by calling locks_remove_posix() instead, which is designed to
reliably get rid of POSIX locks associated with the given file and
files_struct and is also used by filp_flush().

filelock: Fix fcntl/close race recovery compat path
When I wrote commit 3cad1bc01041 ("filelock: Remove locks reliably when
fcntl/close race is detected"), I missed that there are two copies of the
code I was patching: The normal version, and the version for 64-bit offsets
on 32-bit kernels.
Thanks to Greg KH for stumbling over this while doing the stable
backport...
Apply exactly the same fix to the compat path for 32-bit kernels.

DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
spi: fix null pointer dereference within spi_sync
If spi_sync() is called with the non-empty queue and the same spi_message
is then reused, the complete callback for the message remains set while
the context is cleared, leading to a null pointer dereference when the
callback is invoked from spi_finalize_current_message().
With function inlining disabled, the call stack might look like this:

CVEID: CVE-2024-42090
DESCRIPTION: In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
pinctrl: fix deadlock in create_pinctrl() when handling -EPROBE_DEFER
In create_pinctrl(), pinctrl_maps_mutex is acquired before calling
add_setting(). If add_setting() returns -EPROBE_DEFER, create_pinctrl()
calls pinctrl_free(). However, pinctrl_free() attempts to acquire
pinctrl_maps_mutex, which is already held by create_pinctrl(), leading to
a potential deadlock.
This patch resolves the issue by releasing pinctrl_maps_mutex before
calling pinctrl_free(), preventing the deadlock.
