UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47739: Integer Overflow

Published Oct 21, 2024
·
Updated

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: padata: use integer wrap around to prevent deadlock on seqnr overflow When submitting more than 2^32 padata objects to padatadoserial, the current sorting implementation incorrectly sorts padata objects with overflowed seqnr, causing them to be placed before existing objects in the reorder list. This leads to a deadlock in the serialization process as padatafindnext cannot match padata->seqnr and pd->processed because the padata instance with overflowed seqnr will be selected next. To fix this, we use an unsigned integer wrap around to correctly sort padata objects in scenarios with integer overflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

1

What conditions are required to trigger the deadlock?

A local attacker needs to submit more than 2^32 padata objects through padata_do_serial so that the sequence number overflows. No user interaction is required, and the vulnerability has low attack complexity with low privileges required.

2

What is the operational impact if the flaw is triggered?

Incorrect ordering of padata objects after sequence-number overflow can prevent padata_find_next from matching the expected sequence number and processed count. This deadlocks the serialization process, resulting in an availability impact.

3

Which Ubuntu kernel packages are listed as affected?

The listed software includes ubuntu/linux, ubuntu/linux-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure, ubuntu/linux-gcp, ubuntu/linux-aws-fips, ubuntu/linux-azure-fips, ubuntu/linux-gcp-fips, and ubuntu/linux-realtime.
