CVE-2024-35952 — drm/ast: Fix soft lockup

Affected: Linux

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

drm/ast: Fix soft lockup

There is a while-loop in ast_dp_set_on_off() that could lead to infinite-loop. This is because the register, VGACRI-Dx, checked in this API is a scratch register actually controlled by a MCU, named DPMCU, in BMC.

These scratch registers are protected by scu-lock. If suc-lock is not off, DPMCU can not update these registers and then host will have soft lockup due to never updated status.

DPMCU is used to control DP and relative registers to handshake with host's VGA driver. Even the most time-consuming task, DP's link training, is less than 100ms. 200ms should be enough.

It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Bluetooth subsystem in the Linux kernel when modifying certain settings values through debugfs. A privileged local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2024-24857, CVE-2024-24858, CVE-2024-24859)

Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system. This update corrects flaws in the following subsystems: - ARM64 architecture; - RISC-V architecture; - S390 architecture; - x86 architecture; - Block layer subsystem; - Compute Acceleration Framework; - Accessibility subsystem; - Android drivers; - Drivers core; - Bluetooth drivers; - Clock framework and drivers; - Data acquisition framework and drivers; - Cryptographic API; - Buffer Sharing and Synchronization framework; - GPU drivers; - On-Chip Interconnect management framework; - IOMMU subsystem; - Multiple devices driver; - Media drivers; - VMware VMCI Driver; - Network drivers; - Microsoft Azure Network Adapter (MANA) driver; - Device tree and open firmware driver; - Chrome hardware platform drivers; - i.MX PM domains; - TI SCI PM domains driver; - S/390 drivers; - SCSI drivers; - SPI subsystem; - Thermal drivers; - TTY drivers; - USB subsystem; - Framebuffer layer; - BTRFS file system; - Network file system server daemon; - NILFS2 file system; - File systems infrastructure; - Pstore file system; - SMB…
