Ubuntu: (Multiple Advisories) (CVE-2024-49885): Linux kernel vulnerabilities

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

mm, slub: avoid zeroing kmalloc redzone

Since commit 946fa0dbf2d8 ("mm/slub: extend redzone check to extra
allocated kmalloc space than requested"), setting orig_size treats
the wasted space (object_size - orig_size) as a redzone. However with
init_on_free=1 we clear the full object->size, including the redzone.

Additionally we clear the object metadata, including the stored orig_size,
making it zero, which makes check_object() treat the whole object as a
redzone.

These issues lead to the following BUG report with "slub_debug=FUZ
init_on_free=1":

To address the issue, use orig_size to clear the used area. And restore
the value of orig_size after clear the remaining area.

When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG not defined, (get_orig_size()' directly returns
s->object_size. So when using memset to init the area, the size can simply
be orig_size, as orig_size returns object_size when CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG not
enabled. And orig_size can never be bigger than object_size.
