CVE-2024-57878
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
arm64: ptrace: fix partial SETREGSET for NT_ARM_FPMR
Currently fpmr_set() doesn't initialize the temporary 'fpmr' variable, and a SETREGSET call with a length of zero will leave this uninitialized. Consequently an arbitrary value will be written back to target->thread.uw.fpmr, potentially leaking up to 64 bits of memory from the kernel stack. The read is limited to a specific slot on the stack, and the issue does not provide a write mechanism.
Fix this by initializing the temporary value before copying the regset from userspace, as for other regsets (e.g. NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG, NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). In the case of a zero-length write, the existing contents of FPMR will be retained.

"value": "En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: arm64: ptrace: corrección de SETREGSET parcial para NT_ARM_FPMR Actualmente, fpmr_set() no inicializa la variable temporal 'fpmr', y una llamada a SETREGSET con una longitud de cero la dejará sin inicializar. En consecuencia, se volverá a escribir un valor arbitrario en target->thread.uw.fpmr, lo que podría provocar una pérdida de hasta 64 bits de memoria de la pila del kernel. La lectura está limitada a una ranura específica en la pila, y el problema no proporciona un mecanismo de escritura. Corrija esto inicializando el valor temporal antes de copiar el conjunto de registros desde el espacio de usuario, como para otros conjuntos de registros (por ejemplo, NT_PRSTATUS, NT_PRFPREG, NT_ARM_SYSTEM_CALL). En el caso de una escritura de longitud cero, se conservarán los contenidos existentes de FPMR.
