| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ipvs: fix UB due to uninitialized stack access in ip_vs_protocol_init()
Under certain kernel configurations when building with Clang/LLVM, the
compiler does not generate a return or jump as the terminator
instruction for ip_vs_protocol_init(), triggering the following objtool
warning during build time:
vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: ip_vs_protocol_init() falls through to next function __initstub__kmod_ip_vs_rr__935_123_ip_vs_rr_init6()
At runtime, this either causes an oops when trying to load the ipvs
module or a boot-time panic if ipvs is built-in. This same issue has
been reported by the Intel kernel test robot previously.
Digging deeper into both LLVM and the kernel code reveals this to be a
undefined behavior problem. ip_vs_protocol_init() uses a on-stack buffer
of 64 chars to store the registered protocol names and leaves it
uninitialized after definition. The function calls strnlen() when
concatenating protocol names into the buffer. With CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE
strnlen() performs an extra step to check whether the last byte of the
input char buffer is a null character (commit 3009f891bb9f ("fortify:
Allow strlen() and strnlen() to pass compile-time known lengths")).
This, together with possibly other configurations, cause the following
IR to be generated:
define hidden i32 @ip_vs_protocol_init() local_unnamed_addr #5 section ".init.text" align 16 !kcfi_type !29 {
%1 = alloca [64 x i8], align 16
...
14: ; preds = %11
%15 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63
%16 = load i8, ptr %15, align 1
%17 = tail call i1 @llvm.is.constant.i8(i8 %16)
%18 = icmp eq i8 %16, 0
%19 = select i1 %17, i1 %18, i1 false
br i1 %19, label %20, label %23
20: ; preds = %14
%21 = call i64 @strlen(ptr noundef nonnull dereferenceable(1) %1) #23
...
23: ; preds = %14, %11, %20
%24 = call i64 @strnlen(ptr noundef nonnull dereferenceable(1) %1, i64 noundef 64) #24
...
}
The above code calculates the address of the last char in the buffer
(value %15) and then loads from it (value %16). Because the buffer is
never initialized, the LLVM GVN pass marks value %16 as undefined:
%13 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63
br i1 undef, label %14, label %17
This gives later passes (SCCP, in particular) more DCE opportunities by
propagating the undef value further, and eventually removes everything
after the load on the uninitialized stack location:
define hidden i32 @ip_vs_protocol_init() local_unnamed_addr #0 section ".init.text" align 16 !kcfi_type !11 {
%1 = alloca [64 x i8], align 16
...
12: ; preds = %11
%13 = getelementptr inbounds i8, ptr %1, i64 63
unreachable
}
In this way, the generated native code will just fall through to the
next function, as LLVM does not generate any code for the unreachable IR
instruction and leaves the function without a terminator.
Zero the on-stack buffer to avoid this possible UB. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: micrel: Fix receiving the timestamp in the frame for lan8841
The blamed commit started to use the ptp workqueue to get the second
part of the timestamp. And when the port was set down, then this
workqueue is stopped. But if the config option NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING
is not enabled, then the ptp_clock is not initialized so then it would
crash when it would try to access the delayed work.
So then basically by setting up and then down the port, it would crash.
The fix consists in checking if the ptp_clock is initialized and only
then cancel the delayed work. |
| OpenCV is an Open Source Computer Vision Library. Versions 4.10.0 and 4.11.0 have an uninitialized pointer variable on stack that may lead to arbitrary heap buffer write when reading crafted JPEG images. Version 4.12.0 fixes the vulnerability. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
xfs: fix finding a last resort AG in xfs_filestream_pick_ag
When the main loop in xfs_filestream_pick_ag fails to find a suitable
AG it tries to just pick the online AG. But the loop for that uses
args->pag as loop iterator while the later code expects pag to be
set. Fix this by reusing the max_pag case for this last resort, and
also add a check for impossible case of no AG just to make sure that
the uninitialized pag doesn't even escape in theory. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
drm/xe: Check pat.ops before dumping PAT settings
We may leave pat.ops unset when running on brand new platform or
when running as a VF. While the former is unlikely, the latter
is valid (future) use case and will cause NPD when someone will
try to dump PAT settings by debugfs.
It's better to check pointer to pat.ops instead of specific .dump
hook, as we have this hook always defined for every .ops variant. |
| In Xpdf 4.05 (and earlier), invalid header info in a DCT (JPEG) stream can lead to an uninitialized variable in the DCT decoder. The proof-of-concept PDF file causes a segfault attempting to read from an invalid address. |
| In OpenBSD 7.5 before errata 008 and OpenBSD 7.4 before errata 021,
avoid possible mbuf double free in NFS client and server implementation, do not use uninitialized variable in error handling of NFS server. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: hns3: fix kernel crash when devlink reload during initialization
The devlink reload process will access the hardware resources,
but the register operation is done before the hardware is initialized.
So, processing the devlink reload during initialization may lead to kernel
crash.
This patch fixes this by registering the devlink after
hardware initialization. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
mmc: sdhci-msm: pervent access to suspended controller
Generic sdhci code registers LED device and uses host->runtime_suspended
flag to protect access to it. The sdhci-msm driver doesn't set this flag,
which causes a crash when LED is accessed while controller is runtime
suspended. Fix this by setting the flag correctly. |

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Ashlar-Vellum Graphite. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the parsing of VC6 files. The issue results from the lack of proper initialization of memory prior to accessing it. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-25475. |

| Dragonfly is an open source P2P-based file distribution and image acceleration system. Prior to 2.1.0, the processPieceFromSource method does not update the structure’s usedTraffic field, because an uninitialized variable n is used as a guard to the AddTraffic method call, instead of the result.Size variable. A task is processed by a peer. The usedTraffic metadata is not updated during the processing. Rate limiting is incorrectly applied, leading to a denial-of-service condition for the peer. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.1.0. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
r8169: Fix possible ring buffer corruption on fragmented Tx packets.
An issue was found on the RTL8125b when transmitting small fragmented
packets, whereby invalid entries were inserted into the transmit ring
buffer, subsequently leading to calls to dma_unmap_single() with a null
address.
This was caused by rtl8169_start_xmit() not noticing changes to nr_frags
which may occur when small packets are padded (to work around hardware
quirks) in rtl8169_tso_csum_v2().
To fix this, postpone inspecting nr_frags until after any padding has been
applied. |
| In writeToParcel of CursorWindow.cpp, there is a possible out of bounds read due to uninitialized data. This could lead to local information disclosure with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. |
| In dng_lossless_decoder::HuffDecode of dng_lossless_jpeg.cpp, there is a possible way to cause a crash due to uninitialized data. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation. |
| A maliciously crafted STP or SLDPRT file, when parsed in ODXSW_DLL.dll through Autodesk applications, can be used to uninitialized variables. This vulnerability, along with other vulnerabilities, can lead to code execution in the current process. |
