Subject: CVE-2024-35876: x86/mce: Make sure to grab mce_sysfs_mutex in set_bank()
Date: Sun, 19 May 2024 10:34:50 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2024051943-CVE-2024-35876-d9b5@gregkh> (raw)

Description
===========

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

x86/mce: Make sure to grab mce_sysfs_mutex in set_bank()

Modifying a MCA bank's MCA_CTL bits which control which error types to
be reported is done over

  /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/
  ├── machinecheck0
  │   ├── bank0
  │   ├── bank1
  │   ├── bank10
  │   ├── bank11
  ...

sysfs nodes by writing the new bit mask of events to enable.

When the write is accepted, the kernel deletes all current timers and
reinits all banks.

Doing that in parallel can lead to initializing a timer which is already
armed and in the timer wheel, i.e., in use already:

  ODEBUG: init active (active state 0) object: ffff888063a28000 object
  type: timer_list hint: mce_timer_fn+0x0/0x240 arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c:2642
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 8120 at lib/debugobjects.c:514
  debug_print_object+0x1a0/0x2a0 lib/debugobjects.c:514

Fix that by grabbing the sysfs mutex as the rest of the MCA sysfs code
does.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
