CVE-2024-44946 — kcm: Serialise kcm_sendmsg() for the same socket.

Affected: Linux

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

kcm: Serialise kcm_sendmsg() for the same socket.

syzkaller reported UAF in kcm_release(). [0]

The scenario is

1. Thread A builds a skb with MSG_MORE and sets kcm->seq_skb.

2. Thread A resumes building skb from kcm->seq_skb but is blocked by sk_stream_wait_memory()

3. Thread B calls sendmsg() concurrently, finishes building kcm->seq_skb and puts the skb to the write queue

4. Thread A faces an error and finally frees skb that is already in the write queue

5. kcm_release() does double-free the skb in the write queue

When a thread is building a MSG_MORE skb, another thread must not touch it.

Let's add a per-sk mutex and serialise kcm_sendmsg().

Ziming Zhang discovered that the VMware Virtual GPU DRM driver in the Linux kernel contained an integer overflow vulnerability. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (system crash). (CVE-2022-36402)

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; - PowerPC architecture; - User-Mode Linux (UML); - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Cryptographic API; - Android drivers; - Serial ATA and Parallel ATA drivers; - ATM drivers; - Drivers core; - CPU frequency scaling framework; - Device frequency scaling framework; - GPU drivers; - HID subsystem; - Hardware monitoring drivers; - InfiniBand drivers; - Input Device core drivers; - IOMMU subsystem; - IRQ chip drivers; - ISDN/mISDN subsystem; - LED subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - EEPROM drivers; - VMware VMCI Driver; - MMC subsystem; - Network drivers; - Near Field Communication (NFC) drivers; - NVME drivers; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - Parport drivers; - PCI subsystem; - Pin controllers subsystem; - Remote Processor subsystem; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - QCOM SoC drivers; - Direct Digital Synthesis drivers; - TTY drivers; - Userspace I/O drivers; - DesignWare USB3 driver; - USB subsystem; - BTRFS file system; - File sy…
