the attacker does not need to win a timing lottery beyond causing the reset that enters this path.\nPR:N - Triggering the vulnerable init path via TX-timeout-driven hardware reset requires no target-system privileges—only the ability to send traffic to a network interface managed by idpf, including unauthenticated remote access to a publicly reachable server.\nUI:N - Exploitation is fully automated once the attacker induces the reset/recovery sequence; no victim login, configuration change, or other voluntary action is required.\nS:U - Impact is confined to kernel/driver state on the host running idpf; it does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU security boundary into another authority.\nC:H - Using `spin_lock()` on an uninitialized (zeroed) lock allows concurrent, unsynchronized entry into `idpf_ptp_read_src_clk_reg_direct()` and shared PHC/MMIO read paths, creating a race on kernel/driver state that can be leveraged for information disclosure under the kernel CNA guidance for synchronization-breaking bugs.\nI:H - Concurrent unsynchronized callers can interleave `idpf_ptp_enable_shtime()` MMIO writes and cached PHC updates, corrupting device clock and driver timing state in ways that constitute exploitable integrity impact beyond a benign crash.\nA:H - Taking an uninitialized spinlock during HW-reset recovery can cause kernel deadlock, oops, or hang (lockdep “non-static key” failure was observed in the fix commit’s HW-reset trace), satisfying high availability impact for kernel stability bugs." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_ptp.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "5cb8805d2366b20ee4d7afff586d8acf17649330", "lessThan": "eb5991d4c8ba2e8153dfcda3e66a9608377b7dce", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5cb8805d2366b20ee4d7afff586d8acf17649330", "lessThan": "3122d70b7c0101d897fb795658a7b93f854935f2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "5cb8805d2366b20ee4d7afff586d8acf17649330", "lessThan": "da4f76b6a84ede14a71282ef841768299ead0221", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/ethernet/intel/idpf/idpf_ptp.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.16", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.16", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.34", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.0.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1", "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": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.34" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.16", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/eb5991d4c8ba2e8153dfcda3e66a9608377b7dce" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3122d70b7c0101d897fb795658a7b93f854935f2" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/da4f76b6a84ede14a71282ef841768299ead0221" } ], "title": "idpf: fix read_dev_clk_lock spinlock init in idpf_ptp_init()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
