Despite living in include/net/tls.h, no TLS/kTLS network peer is involved; the helper is simply misapplied to non-inet sockets.\nAC:L - The attacker deterministically controls both the configuration (sockmap with stream_parser+stream_verdict, or the sk_skb_adjust_room helper) and the trigger (writing to the socket); no race and no uncontrolled memory layout is required. The confused offset is fixed and the fault reproduces reliably, as shown by the reporter's vsock-loopback repro.\nPR:L - In the intended deployment for this feature — sockmap acceleration of AF_UNIX/vsock IPC set up by a privileged agent — an ordinary unprivileged local process triggers the OOB read merely by connecting and writing to the socket, and a guest VM can trigger the identical virtio_transport_recv_pkt path on the host. BPF tokens (6.9+) additionally let container runtimes delegate CAP_BPF/CAP_NET_ADMIN into an unprivileged user namespace, so real init-namespace root is not required.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed; the attacker performs both the sockmap attachment (or relies on an existing legitimate one) and the socket write that drives sk_data_ready into the confused helper.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read, wild dereference and resulting oops are all confined to the host kernel's own security authority. No IOMMU, hypervisor, or sandbox boundary is crossed by the defect itself.\nC:H - tls_get_ctx() reads 8 bytes at offset 1264 of a 1152-byte unix_sock — a genuine out-of-bounds read into an adjacent, heap-groomable slab object — and the resulting value is then dereferenced at +0x30, yielding an arbitrary-address read whose outcome steers control flow as an observable oracle.\nI:H - This is a type confusion (vsock_sock/unix_sock treated as inet_connection_sock), which per scoring guidance carries High integrity impact; concretely, a spuriously \"true\" tls_sw_has_ctx_rx() in sk_skb_adjust_room() writes rxm->full_len += len_diff into the skb control block, corrupting strparser length bookkeeping on a socket that has no TLS context.\nA:H - The demonstrated result is an unhandled kernel page fault (\"BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: 0000000000040030\") inside a workqueue/softirq context, i.e. an oops that panics with panic_on_oops and otherwise kills the worker while holding sk_callback_lock and the socket lock, hanging the subsystem." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "include/net/tls.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "94531cfcbe79c3598acf96806627b2137ca32eb9", "lessThan": "a078a480ff3f43d74d8a024ae10c3c7daf6db149", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "94531cfcbe79c3598acf96806627b2137ca32eb9", "lessThan": "6781cfa93a6a1b7f5be6819a5a2dd8f30f47ca26", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "94531cfcbe79c3598acf96806627b2137ca32eb9", "lessThan": "44d0469f79bd3d0b3433732877358df7dc6b17b1", "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/net/tls.h" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5.15", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "5.15", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.62", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.11.9", "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": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.62" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.11.9" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "5.15", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a078a480ff3f43d74d8a024ae10c3c7daf6db149" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6781cfa93a6a1b7f5be6819a5a2dd8f30f47ca26" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/44d0469f79bd3d0b3433732877358df7dc6b17b1" } ], "title": "bpf: Add sk_is_inet and IS_ICSK check in tls_sw_has_ctx_tx/rx", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 5.5, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE" } }, { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2024-53091", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2025-10-01T20:11:30.644487Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "description": "CWE-noinfo Not enough information" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2025-10-01T20:17:13.685Z" } } ] } }
