Affected: Linux

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

efi/capsule-loader: fix incorrect allocation size

gcc-14 notices that the allocation with sizeof(void) on 32-bit architectures is not enough for a 64-bit phys_addr_t:

drivers/firmware/efi/capsule-loader.c: In function 'efi_capsule_open': drivers/firmware/efi/capsule-loader.c:295:24: error: allocation of insufficient size '4' for type 'phys_addr_t' {aka 'long long unsigned int'} with size '8' [-Werror=alloc-size] 295 | cap_info->phys = kzalloc(sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL); | ^

Use the correct type instead here.

Affected: Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: linux-gcp-5.15, Ubuntu:20.04:LTS: linux-lowlatency-hwe-5.15, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux-gcp, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux-lowlatency, Ubuntu:22.04:LTS: linux-xilinx-zynqmp

It was discovered that the ATA over Ethernet (AoE) driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition, leading to a use-after-free vulnerability. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-6270)

It was discovered that the Atheros 802.11ac wireless driver did not properly validate certain data structures, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-7042)

It was discovered that the HugeTLB file system component of the Linux Kernel contained a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability. A privileged attacker could possibly use this to to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-0841)

It was discovered that the Intel Data Streaming and Intel Analytics Accelerator drivers in the Linux kernel allowed direct access to the devices for unprivileged users and virtual machines. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-21823)

Yuxuan Hu discovered that the Bluetooth RFCOMM protocol driver in the Linux Kernel contained a race condition, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-22099)

It was discovered that the MediaTek SoC Gigabit Ethernet driver in the Linux kernel contained a race condition when stopping the device. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service (device unavailability). (CVE-2024-27432)
