it is not reached by processing remote protocol packets.\nAC:L - Every new cache volume directory reliably takes the is_new path and performs the oversized memcpy; the overflow size is fixed at sizeof(__be32) with no race or attacker-uncontrollable memory-layout precondition.\nPR:L - With cachefiles already bound by the system (reasonable on NFS/CIFS caching hosts), an unprivileged local user can cause volume creation via automount or fstab user mounts of an fscache-enabled netfs; CAP_SYS_ADMIN is not required for that trigger path.\nUI:N - The attacker drives the sequence themselves by mounting or accessing an automount path that creates a new cache volume; no separate victim action is required.\nS:U - The heap corruption stays within the host kernel privilege domain and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The buggy memcpy also reads four bytes past the volume coherency object and the out-of-bounds write corrupts adjacent slab objects, which can be groomed into an arbitrary kernel read primitive.\nI:H - A heap out-of-bounds write past a kmalloc buffer enables adjacent-object corruption and, with spraying, write/control-flow hijacking primitives in kernel context.\nA:H - The slab-out-of-bounds write can oops/panic the kernel (as shown by the KASAN report) or otherwise crash the host when adjacent heap metadata or objects are corrupted." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/cachefiles/xattr.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "413a4a6b0b5553f2423d210f65e98c211b99c3f8", "lessThan": "09a5df1b88c8f126c8ff9938edf160edd4e92f42", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "413a4a6b0b5553f2423d210f65e98c211b99c3f8", "lessThan": "7b2f6c306601240635c72caa61f682e74d4591b2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/cachefiles/xattr.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.17", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.17", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.17.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.17.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.18", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "5.17.4" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.17", "versionEndExcluding": "5.18" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/09a5df1b88c8f126c8ff9938edf160edd4e92f42" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7b2f6c306601240635c72caa61f682e74d4591b2" } ], "title": "cachefiles: Fix KASAN slab-out-of-bounds in cachefiles_set_volume_xattr", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 7.8, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "integrityImpact": "HIGH", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2022-49062", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T19:49:46.162321Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-787", "description": "CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2025-10-01T19:57:06.281Z" } } ] } }
