CVSS v3.1 |
| The RTIO submission-queue verifier rtio_vrfy_sqe() in subsys/rtio/rtio_syscalls.c (subsys/rtio/rtio_handlers.c before v4.3.0) accumulated the results of K_SYSCALL_MEMORY() into its valid_sqe flag with &=. That macro returns nonzero on failure (it is built on K_SYSCALL_VERIFY_MSG(), which yields !(expr)), so every buffer permission check contributed the opposite of its result. A submission whose tx.buf, rx.buf or txrx.tx_buf/txrx.rx_buf pointer was not accessible to the calling thread was accepted, while a legitimate, thread-owned buffer caused the calling thread to be killed with a kernel oops.
The verifier runs on behalf of the rtio_sqe_copy_in_get_handles() system call (also reached through the inline rtio_sqe_copy_in() wrapper), so it is driven directly by untrusted user-mode input on any image built with CONFIG_USERSPACE. A user thread that has been granted an RTIO context and an rtio_iodev object — the intended usage of RTIO userspace support, established via rtio_access_grant() — can submit an SQE whose buffer pointer and length name arbitrary kernel memory; the object check on sqe->iodev is unaffected and still passes, and the crafted SQE is forwarded to the bus driver unchanged.
Downstream consumers dereference the pointer with supervisor privilege. The generic I2C and I3C RTIO fallback handlers (drivers/i2c/i2c_rtio_default.c, drivers/i3c/i3c_rtio_default.c) copy sqe.rx.buf/sqe.tx.buf into struct i2c_msg and call i2c_transfer(), and the vendor SPI/I2C RTIO drivers behave equivalently. An RTIO_OP_RX submission therefore has peripheral data written into kernel memory of the attacker's choosing (arbitrary kernel write), an RTIO_OP_TX submission clocks kernel memory out over the bus (kernel memory disclosure), and a pointer to unmapped memory faults the kernel. This is a full escape from the user-mode isolation boundary that CONFIG_USERSPACE exists to enforce.
The defect was masked for years because the in-tree user-mode RTIO tests only exercise RTIO_OP_NOP and mempool-backed reads, neither of which reaches the affected checks. The fix negates each K_SYSCALL_MEMORY() result and additionally validates the TXRX transmit buffer read-only, matching the SPI, I2C and I3C handlers. |
| Two RTIO syscall verifiers, in subsys/rtio/rtio_syscalls.c (subsys/rtio/rtio_handlers.c before v4.3.0), did not validate user-supplied pointers before the kernel wrote through them.
z_vrfy_rtio_sqe_cancel() performed no validation at all. It passed the caller's struct rtio_sqe pointer straight to z_impl_rtio_sqe_cancel(), which converts it with CONTAINER_OF to a struct rtio_iodev_sqe, ORs RTIO_SQE_CANCELED (BIT(3)) into its 16-bit flags field in supervisor mode, then loads its next pointer and repeats until that pointer is NULL. The syscall takes no RTIO context argument, so it needs no object grant: any user-mode thread on a CONFIG_USERSPACE build can set that bit in a 16-bit word at an address of its choosing in kernel memory, and the kernel continues the write along whatever pointer chain it finds at the corresponding offset. Setting chosen bits in kernel data structures, such as object permission or thread state fields, can be used to escalate privilege from user mode.
z_vrfy_rtio_sqe_copy_in_get_handles() validated its RTIO context and the input SQE array, but only NULL-checked the handle out-parameter before writing a kernel SQE pointer through it, with no K_SYSCALL_MEMORY_WRITE check. A user thread that holds a granted RTIO context can therefore make the kernel store a pointer value at an arbitrary address.
The fixes validate the handle out-parameter as writable, bound the cancel handle to real submission-pool storage, and require permission on the RTIO context that owns the matching pool. Without that last check a bounded handle still let any user thread cancel submissions belonging to other contexts, silently aborting their I/O. Systems built without CONFIG_USERSPACE or without CONFIG_RTIO are unaffected. |
| Microsoft Streaming Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in Windows Kernel allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally. |
| Untrusted Pointer Dereference in ASUS certain motherboards firmware allows a kernel-level privileges user can supply an arbitrary memory address via an I/O command, leading to subsequent system information being tampered with or causing a system crash.
Refer to the 'Security Update for Multiple ASUS Motherboards' section on the ASUS Security Advisory for more information. |
| In Eclipse ThreadX versions 6.0.1 through 6.5.2.202603, the four non-secure-callable secure stack functions of the TrustZone-M ports dereference a thread pointer supplied by the non-secure world without checking that it points to non-secure memory. Non-secure code can make the secure firmware reveal which secure bytes are zero, write chosen secure words, and fault the secure world, breaking TrustZone-M isolation and enabling recovery of secure-world secrets such as cryptographic keys. |
| In Eclipse ThreadX versions 6.0.1 through 6.5.2.202603, built with TX_ENABLE_EVENT_TRACE, the Module Manager lets a user-mode, memory-protected module register any function pointer as the kernel's trace-buffer-full callback, which the kernel calls from privileged code when the trace buffer wraps. A malicious module can thereby run its own code with kernel privilege, defeating module isolation, or fault the kernel with an invalid pointer. |
| Due to use of a dangling pointer, libcurl 7.29.0 through 7.71.1 can use the wrong connection when sending data. |
| In Eclipse ThreadX versions 6.0.1 through 6.5.2.202603, the PendSV handler of the Cortex-M module ports saves a preempted user-mode module thread's registers in privileged mode at addresses taken from the thread's stack pointer, without checking that pointer against the thread's stack. A user-mode, memory-protected module can thereby write up to nine words, eight of its choosing, or 25 with floating-point state, into memory immediately below any region it may write, and read back what is stored there. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: entry: gate shadow call stack reload on sstatus.SPP, not tp
Under CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK, handle_exception() reloads the kernel
shadow call stack pointer (gp) only when the trap came from userspace.
It made that decision with scs_load_current_if_task_changed, which
compares the trap-time tp (read back from sscratch into s5) against the
current tp:
beq \prev, tp, _skip_scs
scs_load_current
_skip_scs:
tp is a user-writable register. A user task that sets tp to the
linear-map address of its own task_struct (¤t) before trapping
makes the comparison succeed (can achieve by brute force with KASLR
enable under our test), so the kernel skips scs_load_current and
keeps running with the gp that userspace left in place. Under
CONFIG_SHADOW_CALL_STACK gp is the shadow call stack pointer and
load_global_pointer is a no-op, so the compiler-emitted
"sd ra, -8(gp)" / "ld ra, -8(gp)" in every non-leaf function then write
to, and return through, an attacker-controlled address -- an
unprivileged kernel arbitrary-write and control-flow-hijack primitive.
The poisoned gp is saved to task_struct.scs_sp on return, so the reload
is skipped on every subsequent entry as well.
Decide "came from userspace" from the hardware sstatus.SPP bit (already
in s1 at this point) instead of from tp, mirroring the check that
ret_from_exception already uses a few instructions later. SPP is
written by hardware on trap entry and cannot be forged from U-mode.
Legitimate behaviour is unchanged: user entries (SPP=0) reload the task
shadow call stack, nested kernel entries (SPP=1) skip it. |
| The PEAK-System PCAN type 0x4030 processing path fails to validate a selected/returned object pointer before dereferencing fixed fields during post-processing. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
LoongArch: Fix address space mismatch in kexec command line lookup
When searching the loaded segments for the "kexec" command line marker,
the kexec_load(2) path (file_mode == 0) passes the user-space segment
buffer straight to strncmp() through a bogus (char __user *) cast. This
dereferences a user pointer in kernel context, which is wrong and is
flagged by sparse:
arch/loongarch/kernel/machine_kexec.c:84:51: sparse: incorrect type in
argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected char const * @@ got
char [noderef] __user *
Here copy the marker-sized prefix of each segment into a small on-stack
buffer with copy_from_user() before comparing, and skip segments that
fault. The subsequent copy_from_user() that stages the full command line
into the safe area is left unchanged. |
| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ASoC: qcom: Fix uninitialized pointer dmactl
In the case where __lpass_get_dmactl_handle is called and the driver
id dai_id is invalid the pointer dmactl is not being assigned a value,
and dmactl contains a garbage value since it has not been initialized
and so the null check may not work. Fix this to initialize dmactl to
NULL. One could argue that modern compilers will set this to zero, but
it is useful to keep this initialized as per the same way in functions
__lpass_platform_codec_intf_init and lpass_cdc_dma_daiops_hw_params.

bpf: Reject variable offset alu on PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS
For PTR_TO_FLOW_KEYS, check_flow_keys_access() only uses fixed off
for validation. However, variable offset ptr alu is not prohibited
for this ptr kind. So the variable offset is not checked.
The following prog is accepted:
func#0 @0
0: R1=ctx() R10=fp0
0: (bf) r6 = r1 ; R1=ctx() R6_w=ctx()
1: (79) r7 = *(u64 *)(r6 +144) ; R6_w=ctx() R7_w=flow_keys()
2: (b7) r8 = 1024 ; R8_w=1024
3: (37) r8 /= 1 ; R8_w=scalar()
4: (57) r8 &= 1024 ; R8_w=scalar(smin=smin32=0,
smax=umax=smax32=umax32=1024,var_off=(0x0; 0x400))
5: (0f) r7 += r8

var_off=(0x0; 0x400))
6: (79) r0 = *(u64 *)(r7 +0) ; R0_w=scalar()
7: (95) exit
This prog loads flow_keys to r7, and adds the variable offset r8
to r7, and finally causes out-of-bounds access:

| In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
riscv: futex: untag the user pointer before the atomic access
access_ok() checks untagged_addr(uaddr), but arch_futex_atomic_op_inuser()
and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic() hand the raw uaddr to the inline asm
amoswap/amoadd/.../lr.w+sc.w through the "+m" (*uaddr) operand. When the
tagged address ABI is enabled (CONFIG_RISCV_ISA_SUPM, prctl
PR_SET_TAGGED_ADDR_CTRL with PMLEN != 0), those two addresses differ: a
user pointer whose top PMLEN bits hold a tag passes access_ok() after
untagging, but the atomic is then performed on the still-tagged raw
address.
Supervisor-mode data accesses are not subject to the U-mode pointer
masking (that is governed by menvcfg.PMM, which the kernel does not set),
so hardware does not strip the tag for the kernel's own access. With
Sv57 and PMLEN=16 the tag bits overlap the canonical-address bits, so a
tagged pointer can name a canonical kernel virtual address (e.g. in the
linear map) whose untagged form is a valid user address. An unprivileged
process can thus make FUTEX_WAKE_OP perform an atomic read-modify-write on
an arbitrary kernel address, with the matching FUTEX_OP_CMP_* result
serving as a read oracle.
get_user()/put_user()/raw_copy_{to,from}_user() already untag the pointer
after the access_ok() check; do the same in the futex helpers so the
atomic operates on the address that was actually validated. |
