the PKEY_KBLOB2PROTK/PROTK2/PROTK3 ioctls, requiring local access to the s390 system; there is no remote or network-facing path into cca_ecc2protkey().\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls both the overflow length and the overflowing bytes by crafting the ECC key token's `len` field and blob contents, and the memcpy executes deterministically on every call with no race, timing, or layout precondition.\nPR:L - The pkey misc device is registered with mode 0666 and pkey_unlocked_ioctl performs no capability check, so any unprivileged local user (or a container/sandbox process with the node visible) can issue the ioctl.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the overflow entirely from its own ioctl call; no action by another user or administrator is needed.\nS:U - The heap corruption occurs in kernel memory within the same security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or other trust boundary is crossed by the overflow itself.\nC:H - The controlled slab overflow can overwrite adjacent kernel objects (pointers, lengths, credentials) with attacker-chosen data, which is readily leveraged into arbitrary kernel memory disclosure, including protected/secure key material handled by this subsystem.\nI:H - memcpy() writes up to ~7 KB of fully attacker-controlled data past a kmalloc'd CPRB buffer, giving a classic controlled heap out-of-bounds write usable for corrupting neighbouring slab objects and achieving privilege escalation or control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Even without reliable exploitation, the oversized memcpy smashes the slab and neighbouring allocations, causing memory corruption, SLUB/redzone BUG detonations, oops or kernel panic, repeatedly triggerable by an unprivileged user." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected",
