In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: add check that partition length needs to be aligned with block size Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check on whether the length is aligned with the logical block size. If the logical block size of the disk is larger than 512 bytes, then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size, and when the last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size, resulting in an IO error if the size of the read command is smaller than the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also result in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free.

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2024-519 advisory.

  - Transmit requests in Xen's virtual network protocol can consist of multiple parts. While not really     useful, except for the initial part any of them may be of zero length, i.e. carry no data at all. Besides     a certain initial portion of the to be transferred data, these parts are directly translated into what     Linux calls SKB fragments. Such converted request parts can, when for a particular SKB they are all of     length zero, lead to a de-reference of NULL in core networking code. (CVE-2023-46838)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: uio: Fix use-after-free in uio_open     core-1 core-2 ------------------------------------------------------- uio_unregister_device uio_open idev     = idr_find() device_unregister(&idev->dev) put_device(&idev->dev) uio_device_release     get_device(&idev->dev) kfree(idev) uio_free_minor(minor) uio_release put_device(&idev->dev) kfree(idev)
    ------------------------------------------------------- In the core-1 uio_unregister_device(), the     device_unregister will kfree idev when the idev->dev kobject ref is 1. But after core-1 device_unregister,     put_device and before doing kfree, the core-2 may get_device. Then: 1. After core-1 kfree idev, the core-2     will do use-after-free for idev. 2. When core-2 do uio_release and put_device, the idev will be double     freed. To address this issue, we can get idev atomic & inc idev reference with minor_lock.
    (CVE-2023-52439)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Defer the free of inner map when     necessary When updating or deleting an inner map in map array or map htab, the map may still be accessed     by non-sleepable program or sleepable program. However bpf_map_fd_put_ptr() decreases the ref-counter of     the inner map directly through bpf_map_put(), if the ref-counter is the last one (which is true for most     cases), the inner map will be freed by ops->map_free() in a kworker. But for now, most .map_free()     callbacks don't use synchronize_rcu() or its variants to wait for the elapse of a RCU grace period, so     after the invocation of ops->map_free completes, the bpf program which is accessing the inner map may     incur use-after-free problem. Fix the free of inner map by invoking bpf_map_free_deferred() after both one     RCU grace period and one tasks trace RCU grace period if the inner map has been removed from the outer map     before. The deferment is accomplished by using call_rcu() or call_rcu_tasks_trace() when releasing the     last ref-counter of bpf map. The newly-added rcu_head field in bpf_map shares the same storage space with     work field to reduce the size of bpf_map. (CVE-2023-52447)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: block: add check that partition length     needs to be aligned with block size Before calling add partition or resize partition, there is no check on     whether the length is aligned with the logical block size. If the logical block size of the disk is larger     than 512 bytes, then the partition size maybe not the multiple of the logical block size, and when the     last sector is read, bio_truncate() will adjust the bio size, resulting in an IO error if the size of the     read command is smaller than the logical block size.If integrity data is supported, this will also result     in a null pointer dereference when calling bio_integrity_free. (CVE-2023-52458)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: fix check for attempt to corrupt     spilled pointer When register is spilled onto a stack as a 1/2/4-byte register, we set     slot_type[BPF_REG_SIZE - 1] (plus potentially few more below it, depending on actual spill size). So to     check if some stack slot has spilled register we need to consult slot_type[7], not slot_type[0]. To avoid     the need to remember and double-check this in the future, just use is_spilled_reg() helper.
    (CVE-2023-52462)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: efivarfs: force RO when remounting if     SetVariable is not supported If SetVariable at runtime is not supported by the firmware we never assign a     callback for that function. At the same time mount the efivarfs as RO so no one can call that. However, we     never check the permission flags when someone remounts the filesystem as RW. As a result this leads to a     crash looking like this: $ mount -o remount,rw /sys/firmware/efi/efivars $ efi-updatevar -f PK.auth PK [     303.279166] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000000 [     303.280482] Mem abort info: [ 303.280854] ESR = 0x0000000086000004 [ 303.281338] EC = 0x21: IABT (current     EL), IL = 32 bits [ 303.282016] SET = 0, FnV = 0 [ 303.282414] EA = 0, S1PTW = 0 [ 303.282821] FSC = 0x04:

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: mfd: syscon: Fix null pointer     dereference in of_syscon_register() kasprintf() returns a pointer to dynamically allocated memory which     can be NULL upon failure. (CVE-2023-52467)

  - A Null pointer dereference problem was found in ida_free in lib/idr.c in the Linux Kernel. This issue may     allow an attacker using this library to cause a denial of service problem due to a missing check at a     function return. (CVE-2023-6915)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability in the Linux kernel's netfilter: nf_tables component can be exploited to     achieve local privilege escalation. The nft_setelem_catchall_deactivate() function checks whether the     catch-all set element is active in the current generation instead of the next generation before freeing     it, but only flags it inactive in the next generation, making it possible to free the element multiple     times, leading to a double free vulnerability. We recommend upgrading past commit     b1db244ffd041a49ecc9618e8feb6b5c1afcdaa7. (CVE-2024-1085)

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: bpf: Reject variable offset alu on     PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS For PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS, check_flow_keys_access() only uses fixed off for validation.
    However, variable offset ptr alu is not prohibited for this ptr kind. So the variable offset is not     checked.

  - In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Avoid potential     UAF in LPI translation cache There is a potential UAF scenario in the case of an LPI translation cache hit     racing with an operation that invalidates the cache, such as a DISCARD ITS command. The root of the     problem is that vgic_its_check_cache() does not elevate the refcount on the vgic_irq before dropping the     lock that serializes refcount changes. Have vgic_its_check_cache() raise the refcount on the returned     vgic_irq and add the corresponding decrement after queueing the interrupt. (CVE-2024-26598)

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