CVE-2024-41088

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: can: mcp251xfd: fix infinite loop when xmit fails When the mcp251xfd_start_xmit() function fails, the driver stops processing messages, and the interrupt routine does not return, running indefinitely even after killing the running application. Error messages: [ 441.298819] mcp251xfd spi2.0 can0: ERROR in mcp251xfd_start_xmit: -16 [ 441.306498] mcp251xfd spi2.0 can0: Transmit Event FIFO buffer not empty. (seq=0x000017c7, tef_tail=0x000017cf, tef_head=0x000017d0, tx_head=0x000017d3). ... and repeat forever. The issue can be triggered when multiple devices share the same SPI interface. And there is concurrent access to the bus. The problem occurs because tx_ring->head increments even if mcp251xfd_start_xmit() fails. Consequently, the driver skips one TX package while still expecting a response in mcp251xfd_handle_tefif_one(). Resolve the issue by starting a workqueue to write the tx obj synchronously if err = -EBUSY. In case of another error, decrement tx_ring->head, remove skb from the echo stack, and drop the message. [mkl: use more imperative wording in patch description]

Summary
  • (es) En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: can: mcp251xfd: corrige el bucle infinito cuando falla xmit Cuando falla la función mcp251xfd_start_xmit(), el controlador deja de procesar mensajes y la rutina de interrupción no regresa, ejecutándose indefinidamente incluso después de finalizar el aplicación en ejecución. Mensajes de error: [441.298819] mcp251xfd spi2.0 can0: ERROR en mcp251xfd_start_xmit: -16 [441.306498] mcp251xfd spi2.0 can0: El búfer FIFO de evento de transmisión no está vacío. (seq=0x000017c7, tef_tail=0x000017cf, tef_head=0x000017d0, tx_head=0x000017d3). ... y repetir para siempre. El problema puede desencadenarse cuando varios dispositivos comparten la misma interfaz SPI. Y hay acceso simultáneo al autobús. El problema ocurre porque tx_ring->head incrementa incluso si falla mcp251xfd_start_xmit(). En consecuencia, el controlador omite un paquete TX mientras espera una respuesta en mcp251xfd_handle_tefif_one(). Resuelva el problema iniciando una cola de trabajo para escribir el obj tx sincrónicamente si err = -EBUSY. En caso de otro error, disminuya tx_ring->head, elimine skb de la pila de eco y elimine el mensaje. [mkl: utilice una redacción más imperativa en la descripción del parche]
