CVE-2024-26764 — fs/aio: Restrict kiocb_set_cancel_fn() to I/O submitted via libaio

Affected: Linux

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

fs/aio: Restrict kiocb_set_cancel_fn() to I/O submitted via libaio

If kiocb_set_cancel_fn() is called for I/O submitted via io_uring, the following kernel warning appears:

WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 368 at fs/aio.c:598 kiocb_set_cancel_fn+0x9c/0xa8 Call trace: kiocb_set_cancel_fn+0x9c/0xa8 ffs_epfile_read_iter+0x144/0x1d0 io_read+0x19c/0x498 io_issue_sqe+0x118/0x27c io_submit_sqes+0x25c/0x5fc __arm64_sys_io_uring_enter+0x104/0xab0 invoke_syscall+0x58/0x11c el0_svc_common+0xb4/0xf4 do_el0_svc+0x2c/0xb0 el0_svc+0x2c/0xa4 el0t_64_sync_handler+0x68/0xb4 el0t_64_sync+0x1a4/0x1a8

Fix this by setting the IOCB_AIO_RW flag for read and write I/O that is submitted by libaio.

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)
