There is no network-facing path to bpf_link_show_fdinfo().\nAC:L - Triggering is fully deterministic — link->type is unconditionally 14 for every sockmap link, so the out-of-bounds read at index 14 happens on every fdinfo read with no race, timing window, or memory-layout grooming required.\nPR:L - BPF token delegation (kernel 6.9+, present across the affected 6.10–6.11 range) routes the CAP_NET_ADMIN/CAP_BPF checks through ns_capable(token->userns, ...), letting an unprivileged user in a delegated user namespace create the sockmap link; separately, bpf_obj_get() enforces no capability check whatsoever, so any local user able to open a bpffs-pinned sockmap link obtains the fd and reads its own fdinfo.\nUI:N - The attacker performs every step — creating or opening the link and reading its fdinfo — within their own process. No victim action or interaction is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and the resulting disclosure or fault are confined to the kernel's own security authority, with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The out-of-bounds qword is dereferenced as a string by seq_printf(\"%s\") with precision -1, so string_nocheck() walks unbounded from an uncontrolled kernel address until a NUL byte and copies those kernel memory bytes into fdinfo output that userspace reads back.\nI:N - The defect is a pure read of one element past a global array; no kernel memory is written out of bounds and no attacker-controlled data modifies kernel state.\nA:H - vsnprintf only guards NULL, sub-PAGE_SIZE, and IS_ERR values, so any other adjacent .data qword becomes a wild kernel dereference and oops, and KASAN globals instrumentation turns the access into a hard report (a panic with panic_on_warn)." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "include/linux/bpf_types.h", "include/uapi/linux/bpf.h", "tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "699c23f02c65cbfc3e638f14ce0d70c23a2e1f02", "lessThan": "6d79f12c0ce2bc8ff5f109093df1734bd6450615", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "699c23f02c65cbfc3e638f14ce0d70c23a2e1f02", "lessThan": "c2f803052bc7a7feb2e03befccc8e49b6ff1f5f5", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "include/linux/bpf_types.h", "include/uapi/linux/bpf.h", "tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.10", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.10", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.11.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12", "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": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6d79f12c0ce2bc8ff5f109093df1734bd6450615" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c2f803052bc7a7feb2e03befccc8e49b6ff1f5f5" } ], "title": "bpf: Add the missing BPF_LINK_TYPE invocation for sockmap", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 7.1, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "HIGH" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2024-50123", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T20:21:36.865150Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-125", "description": "CWE-125 Out-of-bounds Read" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2025-10-01T20:27:16.209Z" } } ] } }
