"baseSeverity": "CRITICAL" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:N - The vulnerable code is the NET/ROM layer-3 routing handler invoked directly on frames received from remote peers over AX.25 (net/netrom/af_netrom.c:1382); NET/ROM is a routed, multi-hop protocol with its own TTL, so the attacker need not be on the victim's physical link, and NET/ROM nodes are routinely interconnected over the Internet via AX.25-over-IP encapsulation feeding the kernel through KISS interfaces.\nAC:L - The attacker simply completes the unauthenticated AX.25 SABM/UA handshake to the netrom callsign and sends one I-frame with PID 0xCF carrying fewer than 15 payload bytes; the out-of-range access is deterministic and requires no race, no memory-layout grooming, and no victim state the attacker cannot create.\nPR:N - AX.25 and NET/ROM perform no authentication whatsoever — ax25_rcv() creates an ax25_cb for the registered netrom callsign with no socket and no credentials (net/ax25/ax25_in.c:364), so any peer able to put frames on the link reaches nr_route_frame().\nUI:N - The frame is processed in softirq context by the receive path as soon as it arrives; no local user action of any kind is required on the target.\nS:U - The uninitialized read, the routing-table pollution and the resulting disclosure all occur within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Up to ~28 bytes of uninitialized/stale kernel heap per frame are consumed as callsigns and copied into the NET/ROM node and neighbour tables exposed through world-readable /proc/net/nr_nodes and /proc/net/nr_neigh, into socket state returned by accept()/getsockname(), and into transmitted reply frames built by __nr_transmit_reply(); the attacker can repeat this arbitrarily to sample kernel memory, so this is not a strictly bounded few-byte leak.\nI:L - Kernel state is modified from uninitialized memory — routing nodes and neighbour entries are created from garbage callsigns via nr_add_node(), nr_make->user_addr is populated with stale heap data, and skb->data[14]-- writes a byte beyond the frame's valid data — but there is no attacker-controlled out-of-bounds write or code-execution primitive.\nA:H - The condition was reported as a fatal KMSAN BUG, so on KASAN/KMSAN or panic_on_warn kernels the access aborts the machine; additionally, unauthenticated malformed frames drive uncontrolled routing behaviour — unbounded node/neighbour insertion from random callsigns and forwarding decisions on a TTL byte that is never actually decremented on the wire — allowing a remote attacker to degrade or deny the affected node's networking at will." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux",
