CVE-2024-42082 — xdp: Remove WARN() from __xdp_reg_mem_model()

Affected: Linux, Siemens RUGGEDCOM RST2428P, Siemens SCALANCE XC-300/XR-300/XC-400/XR-500WG/XR-500 family, Siemens SCALANCE XCM-/XRM-/XCH-/XRH-300 family, Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500 TM MFP - GNU/Linux subsystem

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

xdp: Remove WARN() from __xdp_reg_mem_model()

syzkaller reports a warning in __xdp_reg_mem_model().

The warning occurs only if __mem_id_init_hash_table() returns an error. It returns the error in two cases:

1. memory allocation fails; 2. rhashtable_init() fails when some fields of rhashtable_params struct are not initialized properly.

The second case cannot happen since there is a static const rhashtable_params struct with valid fields. So, warning is only triggered when there is a problem with memory allocation.

Thus, there is no sense in using WARN() to handle this error and it can be safely removed.

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the CEC driver driver in the Linux kernel contained a use-after-free vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-23848)

Chenyuan Yang discovered that the USB Gadget subsystem in the Linux kernel did not properly check for the device to be enabled before writing. A local attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-25741)

It was discovered that the JFS file system contained an out-of-bounds read vulnerability when printing xattr debug information. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2024-40902)

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; - M68K architecture; - MIPS architecture; - PowerPC architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Accessibility subsystem; - ACPI drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - Drivers core; - Bluetooth drivers; - Character device driver; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Hardware crypto device drivers; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - DMA engine subsystem; - FPGA Framework; - GPIO subsystem; - GPU drivers; - Greybus drivers; - HID subsystem; - HW tracing; - I2C…
