| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
hwmon: (acpi_power_meter) Fix deadlocks related to acpi_power_meter_notify()
The acpi_power_meter driver's .notify() callback function,
acpi_power_meter_notify(), calls hwmon_device_unregister() under a lock
that is also acquired by callbacks in sysfs attributes of the device
being unregistered which is prone to deadlocks between sysfs access and
device removal.
Address this by moving the hwmon device removal in
acpi_power_meter_notify() outside the lock in question, but notice
that doing it alone is not sufficient because two concurrent
METER_NOTIFY_CONFIG notifications may be attempting to remove the
same device at the same time. To prevent that from happening, add a
new lock serializing the execution of the switch () statement in
acpi_power_meter_notify(). For simplicity, it is a static mutex
which should not be a problem from the performance perspective.
The new lock also allows the hwmon_device_register_with_info()
in acpi_power_meter_notify() to be called outside the inner lock
because it prevents the other notifications handled by that function
from manipulating the "resource" object while the hwmon device based
on it is being registered. The sending of ACPI netlink messages from
acpi_power_meter_notify() is serialized by the new lock too which
generally helps to ensure that the order of handling firmware
notifications is the same as the order of sending netlink messages
related to them.
In addition, notice that hwmon_device_register_with_info() may fail
in which case resource->hwmon_dev will become an error pointer,
so add checks to avoid attempting to unregister the hwmon device
pointer to by it in that case to acpi_power_meter_notify() and
acpi_power_meter_remove(). |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: trace: fix snapshot deadlock with sbi ecall
If sbi_ecall.c's functions are traceable,
echo "__sbi_ecall:snapshot" > /sys/kernel/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
may get the kernel into a deadlock.
(Functions in sbi_ecall.c are excluded from tracing if
CONFIG_RISCV_ALTERNATIVE_EARLY is set.)
__sbi_ecall triggers a snapshot of the ringbuffer. The snapshot code
raises an IPI interrupt, which results in another call to __sbi_ecall
and another snapshot...
All it takes to get into this endless loop is one initial __sbi_ecall.
On RISC-V systems without SSTC extension, the clock events in
timer-riscv.c issue periodic sbi ecalls, making the problem easy to
trigger.
Always exclude the sbi_ecall.c functions from tracing to fix the
potential deadlock.
sbi ecalls can easiliy be logged via trace events, excluding ecall
functions from function tracing is not a big limitation. |
| Improper Locking vulnerability (CWE-667) in Gallagher Morpho integration allows a privileged operator to cause a limited denial-of-service in the Command Centre Server.
This issue affects Command Centre Server:
9.40 prior to vEL9.40.1976(MR1), 9.30 prior to vEL9.30.3382 (MR4), 9.20 prior to vEL9.20.3783 (MR6), 9.10 prior to vEL9.10.4647 (MR9), all versions of 9.00 and prior. |
| Multiple Cisco products are affected by a vulnerability in the Snort 3 Detection Engine that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause the Snort 3 Detection Engine to restart, resulting in an interruption of packet inspection.
This vulnerability is due to an error in the binder module initialization logic of the Snort Detection Engine. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending certain packets through an established connection that is parsed by Snort 3. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to cause a DoS condition when the Snort 3 Detection Engine restarts unexpectedly. |

19 [ffffd0b50e177bd0] dentry_open at ffffffff9c0a0935
The issue is that the delegreturn is being asked to wait for a layout
return that cannot complete because a state recovery was initiated. The
state recovery cannot complete until the open() finishes processing the
delegations it was given.
The solution is to propagate the existing flags that indicate a
non-blocking call to the function pnfs_roc(), so that it knows not to
wait in this situation. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvlan: Make the addrs_lock be per port
Make the addrs_lock be per port, not per ipvlan dev.
Initial code seems to be written in the assumption,
that any address change must occur under RTNL.
But it is not so for the case of IPv6. So
1) Introduce per-port addrs_lock.
2) It was needed to fix places where it was forgotten
to take lock (ipvlan_open/ipvlan_close)
This appears to be a very minor problem though.
Since it's highly unlikely that ipvlan_add_addr() will
be called on 2 CPU simultaneously. But nevertheless,
this could cause:
1) False-negative of ipvlan_addr_busy(): one interface
iterated through all port->ipvlans + ipvlan->addrs
under some ipvlan spinlock, and another added IP
under its own lock. Though this is only possible
for IPv6, since looks like only ipvlan_addr6_event() can be
called without rtnl_lock.
2) Race since ipvlan_ht_addr_add(port) is called under
different ipvlan->addrs_lock locks
This should not affect performance, since add/remove IP
is a rare situation and spinlock is not taken on fast
paths. |
| Concurrent Versions Software (CVS) uses predictable temporary file names for locking, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by creating the lock directory before it is created for use by a legitimate CVS user. |
| dump 0.4 b10 through b29 allows local users to cause a denial of service (execution prevention) by using flock() to lock the /etc/dumpdates file. |
| Windows 2000 allows local users to prevent the application of new group policy settings by opening Group Policy files with exclusive-read access. |
| Heysoft EventSave 5.1 and 5.2 and Heysoft EventSave+ 5.1 and 5.2 does not check whether the log file can be written to, which allows attackers to prevent events from being recorded by opening the log file using an application such as Microsoft's Event Viewer. |
| Apache 1.4.x before 1.3.30, and 2.0.x before 2.0.49, when using multiple listening sockets on certain platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (blocked new connections) via a "short-lived connection on a rarely-accessed listening socket." |
| Linux SCTP (lksctp) before 2.6.17 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (deadlock) via a large number of small messages to a receiver application that cannot process the messages quickly enough, which leads to "spillover of the receive buffer." |
| The Server Message Block (SMB) driver (MRXSMB.SYS) in Microsoft Windows 2000 SP4, XP SP1 and SP2, and Server 2003 SP1 and earlier allows local users to cause a denial of service (hang) by calling the MrxSmbCscIoctlCloseForCopyChunk with the file handle of the shadow device, which results in a deadlock, aka the "SMB Invalid Handle Vulnerability." |
| The handle_stop_signal function in signal.c in Linux kernel 2.6.11 up to other versions before 2.6.13 and 2.6.12.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by sending a SIGKILL to a real-time threaded process while it is performing a core dump. |
| ZoneAlarm and ZoneAlarm Pro allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service by running a trojan to initialize a ZoneAlarm mutex object which prevents ZoneAlarm from starting. |
| Array index overflow in the xfrm_sk_policy_insert function in xfrm_user.c in Linux kernel 2.6 allows local users to cause a denial of service (oops or deadlock) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a p->dir value that is larger than XFRM_POLICY_OUT, which is used as an index in the sock->sk_policy array. |
| Race condition in Linux 2.6, when threads are sharing memory mapping via CLONE_VM (such as linuxthreads and vfork), might allow local users to cause a denial of service (deadlock) by triggering a core dump while waiting for a thread that has just performed an exec. |
| qpopper POP server creates lock files with predictable names, which allows local users to cause a denial of service for other users (lack of mail access) by creating lock files for other mail boxes. |
| tip on multiple BSD-based operating systems allows local users to cause a denial of service (execution prevention) by using flock() to lock the /var/log/acculog file. |
| mod_cgi in Apache 2.0.39 and 2.0.40 allows local users and possibly remote attackers to cause a denial of service (hang and memory consumption) by causing a CGI script to send a large amount of data to stderr, which results in a read/write deadlock between httpd and the CGI script. |
