CVE-2024-35911 — ice: fix memory corruption bug with suspend and rebuild

Affected: Linux

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

ice: fix memory corruption bug with suspend and rebuild

The ice driver would previously panic after suspend. This is caused from the driver *only* calling the ice_vsi_free_q_vectors() function by itself, when it is suspending. Since commit b3e7b3a6ee92 ("ice: prevent NULL pointer deref during reload") the driver has zeroed out num_q_vectors, and only restored it in ice_vsi_cfg_def().

This further causes the ice_rebuild() function to allocate a zero length buffer, after which num_q_vectors is updated, and then the new value of num_q_vectors is used to index into the zero length buffer, which corrupts memory.

The fix entails making sure all the code referencing num_q_vectors only does so after it has been reset via ice_vsi_cfg_def().

I didn't perform a full bisect, but I was able to test against 6.1.77 kernel and that ice driver works fine for suspend/resume with no panic, so sometime since then, this problem was introduced.

Also clean up an un-needed init of a local variable in the function being modified.

PANIC from 6.8.0-rc1:

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Accessibility subsystem; - Android drivers; - Drivers core; - Bluetooth drivers; - Clock framework and drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Cryptographic API; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - GPU drivers; - On-Chip Interconnect management framework; - IOMMU subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - VMware VMCI Driver; - Network drivers; - Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - Chrome hardware platform drivers; - i.MX PM domains; - TI SCI PM domains driver; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - SPI subsystem; - Thermal drivers; - TTY drivers; - USB subsystem; - Framebuffer layer; - BTRFS file system; - Network file system server daemon; - NILFS2 file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Pstore file system; - SMB…
