In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: designware: Fix handling of real but unexpected device interrupts Commit c7b79a752871 ("mfd: intel-lpss: Add Intel Alder Lake PCH-S PCI IDs") caused a regression on certain Gigabyte motherboards for Intel Alder Lake-S where system crashes to NULL pointer dereference in i2c_dw_xfer_msg() when system resumes from S3 sleep state ("deep"). I was able to debug the issue on Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE and made following notes: - Issue happens when resuming from S3 but not when resuming from "s2idle" - PCI device 00:15.0 == i2c_designware.0 is already in D0 state when system enters into pci_pm_resume_noirq() while all other i2c_designware PCI devices are in D3. Devices were runtime suspended and in D3 prior entering into suspend - Interrupt comes after pci_pm_resume_noirq() when device interrupts are re-enabled - According to register dump the interrupt really comes from the i2c_designware.0. Controller is enabled, I2C target address register points to a one detectable I2C device address 0x60 and the DW_IC_RAW_INTR_STAT register START_DET, STOP_DET, ACTIVITY and TX_EMPTY bits are set indicating completed I2C transaction. My guess is that the firmware uses this controller to communicate with an on-board I2C device during resume but does not disable the controller before giving control to an operating system. I was told the UEFI update fixes this but never the less it revealed the driver is not ready to handle TX_EMPTY (or RX_FULL) interrupt when device is supposed to be idle and state variables are not set (especially the dev->msgs pointer which may point to NULL or stale old data). Introduce a new software status flag STATUS_ACTIVE indicating when the controller is active in driver point of view. Now treat all interrupts that occur when is not set as unexpected and mask all interrupts from the controller.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: configfs: fix a race in     configfs_{,un}register_subsystem() When configfs_register_subsystem() or configfs_unregister_subsystem()     is executing link_group() or unlink_group(), it is possible that two processes add or delete list     concurrently. Some unfortunate interleavings of them can cause kernel panic. One of cases is: A --> B -->     C --> D A <-- B <-- C <-- D delete list_head *B | delete list_head *C
    --------------------------------|----------------------------------- configfs_unregister_subsystem |     configfs_unregister_subsystem unlink_group | unlink_group unlink_obj | unlink_obj list_del_init |     list_del_init __list_del_entry | __list_del_entry __list_del | __list_del // next == C | next->prev = prev     | | next->prev = prev prev->next = next | | // prev == B | prev->next = next Fix this by adding mutex when     calling link_group() or unlink_group(), but parent configfs_subsystem is NULL when config_item is root. So     I create a mutex configfs_subsystem_mutex. (CVE-2022-48931)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: list: fix a data-race around     ep->rdllist ep_poll() first calls ep_events_available() with no lock held and checks if ep->rdllist is     empty by list_empty_careful(), which reads rdllist->prev. Thus all accesses to it need some protection to     avoid store/load-tearing. Note INIT_LIST_HEAD_RCU() already has the annotation for both prev and next.
    Commit bf3b9f6372c4 (epoll: Add busy poll support to epoll with socket fds.) added the first lockless     ep_events_available(), and commit c5a282e9635e (fs/epoll: reduce the scope of wq lock in epoll_wait())     made some ep_events_available() calls lockless and added single call under a lock, finally commit     e59d3c64cba6 (epoll: eliminate unnecessary lock for zero timeout) made the last ep_events_available()     lockless.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: amd-xgbe: Fix skb data length     underflow There will be BUG_ON() triggered in include/linux/skbuff.h leading to intermittent kernel panic,     when the skb length underflow is detected. Fix this by dropping the packet if such length underflows are     seen because of inconsistencies in the hardware descriptors. (CVE-2022-48743)

This itself seems a bit sketchy,     but the real problem with GCC12 is that it is moving the actual reads/writes around at will as though they     were independent operations when in truth they are not, but the compiler can't know that. When looking at     the assembly dumps for many of these routines its possible to see very clean, but not strictly in program     order operations occurring as the compiler would be free to do if these weren't actually register     reads/write operations. Its possible to suppress the timeout with a liberal bit of dma_mb()'s sprinkled     around but the device still seems unable to reliably send/receive data. A better plan is to use the safer     readl/writel everywhere. Since this partially reverts an older commit, which notes the use of the relaxed     variants for performance reasons. I would suggest that any performance problems ---truncated---     (CVE-2022-49194)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ima: Fix a potential integer overflow     in ima_appraise_measurement When the ima-modsig is enabled, the rc passed to evm_verifyxattr() may be     negative, which may cause the integer overflow problem. (CVE-2022-49643)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ovl: Use buf flexible array for     memcpy() destination The buf flexible array needs to be the memcpy() destination to avoid false positive     run-time warning from the recent FORTIFY_SOURCE hardening: memcpy: detected field-spanning write (size 93)     of single field &fh->fb at fs/overlayfs/export.c:799 (size 21) (CVE-2022-49743)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: kprobes: Skip clearing aggrprobe's     post_handler in kprobe-on-ftrace case In __unregister_kprobe_top(), if the currently unregistered probe     has post_handler but other child probes of the aggrprobe do not have post_handler, the post_handler of the     aggrprobe is cleared. If this is a ftrace-based probe, there is a problem. In later calls to     disarm_kprobe(), we will use kprobe_ftrace_ops because post_handler is NULL. But we're armed with     kprobe_ipmodify_ops. This triggers a WARN in __disarm_kprobe_ftrace() and may even cause use-after-free:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: i2c: designware: Fix handling of real     but unexpected device interrupts Commit c7b79a752871 (mfd: intel-lpss: Add Intel Alder Lake PCH-S PCI     IDs) caused a regression on certain Gigabyte motherboards for Intel Alder Lake-S where system crashes to     NULL pointer dereference in i2c_dw_xfer_msg() when system resumes from S3 sleep state (deep). I was able     to debug the issue on Gigabyte Z690 AORUS ELITE and made following notes: - Issue happens when resuming     from S3 but not when resuming from s2idle - PCI device 00:15.0 == i2c_designware.0 is already in D0     state when system enters into pci_pm_resume_noirq() while all other i2c_designware PCI devices are in D3.
    Devices were runtime suspended and in D3 prior entering into suspend - Interrupt comes after     pci_pm_resume_noirq() when device interrupts are re-enabled - According to register dump the interrupt     really comes from the i2c_designware.0. Controller is enabled, I2C target address register points to a one     detectable I2C device address 0x60 and the DW_IC_RAW_INTR_STAT register START_DET, STOP_DET, ACTIVITY and     TX_EMPTY bits are set indicating completed I2C transaction. My guess is that the firmware uses this     controller to communicate with an on-board I2C device during resume but does not disable the controller     before giving control to an operating system. I was told the UEFI update fixes this but never the less it     revealed the driver is not ready to handle TX_EMPTY (or RX_FULL) interrupt when device is supposed to be     idle and state variables are not set (especially the dev->msgs pointer which may point to NULL or stale     old data). Introduce a new software status flag STATUS_ACTIVE indicating when the controller is active in     driver point of view. Now treat all interrupts that occur when is not set as unexpected and mask all     interrupts from the controller. (CVE-2022-50370)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
