Group ID MAX_GROUPS therefore accesses one\nelement past the end, and the final group's reserved bandwidth is not\nincluded when the array is summed.\n\nGive group_reserved[] MAX_GROUPS + 1 entries so direct Group ID\nindexing covers the reserved ID 0 and valid IDs 1 through MAX_GROUPS." } ], "metrics": [ { "cvssV3_1": { "version": "3.1", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H", "baseScore": 7.8, "baseSeverity": "HIGH" }, "scenarios": [ { "lang": "en", "value": "AV:L - The flaw is reached through the local Thunderbolt connection manager control channel (TB_CFG_ERROR_DP_BW notifications into tb_handle_dp_bandwidth_request/tb_alloc_dp_bandwidth), not over IP; on systems with authorized TB docks/workstations, DP bandwidth recalculation can be driven without new network access.\nAC:L - After an authorized topology uses bandwidth group 7 with reserved DP bandwidth, the out-of-bounds write at group_reserved[7] is deterministic whenever tb_consumed_dp_bandwidth() runs; an attacker can induce the needed bandwidth reductions/mode changes rather than depending on uncontrollable timing.\nPR:L - The vulnerable path performs no credential checks; once Thunderbolt devices are authorized (common with security level none or boot ACL), an unprivileged local user can trigger DP bandwidth allocation events via display/mode changes that cause DPTX bandwidth notifications.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required beyond normal authorized Thunderbolt/DisplayPort operation; a local attacker can directly cause the bandwidth-change notifications that reach tb_consumed_dp_bandwidth() without convincing another user to perform a separate action.\nS:U - Impact is kernel stack corruption during Thunderbolt bandwidth accounting in the host kernel; it does not cross a VM/host, IOMMU/DMA, or sandbox security boundary and stays within the same kernel security authority.\nC:H - Indexing group_reserved[] with group ID 7 writes one 32-bit word past a seven-element stack array, corrupting adjacent stack data with attacker-influenced reserved-bandwidth values and enabling kernel memory disclosure primitives.\nI:H - This is a kernel stack out-of-bounds write with partially attacker-controlled values (reserved Mb/s), which can corrupt pointers/control data on the stack and be leveraged for arbitrary kernel memory modification or privilege escalation.\nA:H - Corrupting kernel stack variables in tb_consumed_dp_bandwidth() can cause immediate kernel oops/panic or hang during bandwidth accounting, and unstable stack corruption commonly produces severe system unavailability." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/thunderbolt/tb.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "52a4490e89d7c4effe613d8dffd2ac0a2a786bd7", "lessThan": "0bfb67ba366cd68d1d0ad935760577bae1d5df27", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "52a4490e89d7c4effe613d8dffd2ac0a2a786bd7", "lessThan": "9977321835c7ae71d12a43bed7baa5bd514d01c3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "52a4490e89d7c4effe613d8dffd2ac0a2a786bd7", "lessThan": "0a8c9ed4f166216642a8c084f0de415169c88088", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "52a4490e89d7c4effe613d8dffd2ac0a2a786bd7", "lessThan": "d2ee4d47aacbd2ba456092eeec670dba35fde291", "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/thunderbolt/tb.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.9", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.9", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.104", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.45", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.9", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "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": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.104" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.45" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.9" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.9", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0bfb67ba366cd68d1d0ad935760577bae1d5df27" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9977321835c7ae71d12a43bed7baa5bd514d01c3" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0a8c9ed4f166216642a8c084f0de415169c88088" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d2ee4d47aacbd2ba456092eeec670dba35fde291" } ], "title": "thunderbolt: Fix bandwidth group reservation indexing", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
