CVE-2024-40970

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Avoid hw_desc array overrun in dw-axi-dmac I have a use case where nr_buffers = 3 and in which each descriptor is composed by 3 segments, resulting in the DMA channel descs_allocated to be 9. Since axi_desc_put() handles the hw_desc considering the descs_allocated, this scenario would result in a kernel panic (hw_desc array will be overrun). To fix this, the proposal is to add a new member to the axi_dma_desc structure, where we keep the number of allocated hw_descs (axi_desc_alloc()) and use it in axi_desc_put() to handle the hw_desc array correctly. Additionally I propose to remove the axi_chan_start_first_queued() call after completing the transfer, since it was identified that unbalance can occur (started descriptors can be interrupted and transfer ignored due to DMA channel not being enabled).

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: Evitar la saturación de la matriz hw_desc en dw-axi-dmac. Tengo un caso de uso donde nr_buffers = 3 y en el que cada descriptor está compuesto por 3 segmentos, lo que da como resultado que el canal DMA descs_allocated sea 9. Dado que axi_desc_put() maneja hw_desc considerando descs_allocated, este escenario provocaría un pánico en el kernel (la matriz hw_desc se desbordará). Para solucionar este problema, la propuesta es agregar un nuevo miembro a la estructura axi_dma_desc, donde mantenemos el número de hw_descs asignados (axi_desc_alloc()) y lo usamos en axi_desc_put() para manejar la matriz hw_desc correctamente. Además, propongo eliminar la llamada axi_chan_start_first_queued() después de completar la transferencia, ya que se identificó que puede ocurrir un desequilibrio (los descriptores iniciados pueden interrumpirse y la transferencia se ignora debido a que el canal DMA no está habilitado).
