That can cause bugs with hardened usercopy\nas described below by Kefeng Wang:\n\n When running ethtool eth0 on 64-bit Book3E, a BUG occurred:\n\n usercopy: Kernel memory exposure attempt detected from SLUB object not in SLUB page?!

So for now add extra checks to virt_addr_valid().\n\nFor 64-bit Book3S the extra checks are not necessary, the combination of\nvirt_to_pfn() and pfn_valid() should yield the correct result, but they\nare harmless.\n\n[mpe: Add additional change log detail]" } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "ffda09a9941c18d9f08d1176d55588d505f62912", "lessThan": "deab81144d5a043f42804207fb76cfbd8a806978", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "ffda09a9941c18d9f08d1176d55588d505f62912", "lessThan": "d36febbcd537fcc50284e8b89609632d0146529f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "ffda09a9941c18d9f08d1176d55588d505f62912", "lessThan": "fddb88bd266f4513abab7c36bca98935c9148a98", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "ffda09a9941c18d9f08d1176d55588d505f62912", "lessThan": "a3727c25eacd7e437c4f560957fa3a376fe93e6b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "ffda09a9941c18d9f08d1176d55588d505f62912", "lessThan": "cbc065efcba000ad8f615f506ebe61b6d3c5145b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "ffda09a9941c18d9f08d1176d55588d505f62912", "lessThan": "ffa0b64e3be58519ae472ea29a1a1ad681e32f48", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "4.4", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "4.4", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.4.190", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.34", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.16.20", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.16.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.17.3", "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": "4.4", "versionEndExcluding": "5.4.190" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.4", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.111" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.4", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.34" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.4", "versionEndExcluding": "5.16.20" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.4", "versionEndExcluding": "5.17.3" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "4.4", "versionEndExcluding": "5.18" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/deab81144d5a043f42804207fb76cfbd8a806978" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d36febbcd537fcc50284e8b89609632d0146529f" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fddb88bd266f4513abab7c36bca98935c9148a98" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a3727c25eacd7e437c4f560957fa3a376fe93e6b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cbc065efcba000ad8f615f506ebe61b6d3c5145b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ffa0b64e3be58519ae472ea29a1a1ad681e32f48" } ], "title": "powerpc: Fix virt_addr_valid() for 64-bit Book3E & 32-bit", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
