No CAP_SYS_ADMIN on the victim host is required on the read path.\nUI:N - Once an iso9660 volume containing the crafted zisofs file is exported, the NFS or SMB server processes the client's READ automatically; no separate victim must open a file or click a dialog at attack time beyond that pre-existing export.\nS:U - The slab out-of-bounds pointer load and any memzero_page or SetPageUptodate side effects remain inside the host kernel; this is not a VM escape, IOMMU/DMA bypass, or other cross-authority boundary.\nC:H - zisofs_fill_pages loads an 8-byte pointer from one slot past a kmalloc-8 pages[] allocation and may treat adjacent heap data as a struct page. With heap grooming this memory corruption can be turned into a kernel information-disclosure primitive, so confidentiality impact is High.\nI:H - When the out-of-bounds pointer is non-NULL, memzero_page() writes zeros through kmap_local_page() of the forged page and SetPageUptodate() corrupts page flags, yielding a kernel write primitive against attacker-groomed heap or page objects that can be chained to control-flow hijack.\nA:H - KASAN reports a slab-out-of-bounds read in zisofs_read_folio; feeding a non-page pointer to kmap_local_page or memzero_page oopses or panics the kernel, and the attacker can repeat the NFS, SMB, or local read at will." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/isofs/compress.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "59bc055211b8d266ab6089158058bf8268e02006", "lessThan": "8b994ac5778a725982fd6a8a3afcaa068d4a93e3", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "59bc055211b8d266ab6089158058bf8268e02006", "lessThan": "ad3249cdf9d4ba34bb8b1ff3956a4020fdfb5b0a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "59bc055211b8d266ab6089158058bf8268e02006", "lessThan": "85904076cece72ee3194646ad7ac8e6659d999aa", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "59bc055211b8d266ab6089158058bf8268e02006", "lessThan": "f03425dcbe04aec3c27b9917e97d7d23a2908dda", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "59bc055211b8d266ab6089158058bf8268e02006", "lessThan": "cd616aa0449a772a6956abf03358f0ff31720580", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "59bc055211b8d266ab6089158058bf8268e02006", "lessThan": "9c6eace8d07e90f038c89eb3b756d65a7e259d48", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "59bc055211b8d266ab6089158058bf8268e02006", "lessThan": "68d4d3e78150c7ed7d1195af63ad1e6ace30c661", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "fs/isofs/compress.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.33", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.33", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.221", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.188", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.157", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.110", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.52", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.3", "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": "2.6.33", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.221" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.33", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.188" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.33", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.157" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.33", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.33", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.52" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.33", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.33", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8b994ac5778a725982fd6a8a3afcaa068d4a93e3" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ad3249cdf9d4ba34bb8b1ff3956a4020fdfb5b0a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/85904076cece72ee3194646ad7ac8e6659d999aa" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f03425dcbe04aec3c27b9917e97d7d23a2908dda" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cd616aa0449a772a6956abf03358f0ff31720580" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c6eace8d07e90f038c89eb3b756d65a7e259d48" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/68d4d3e78150c7ed7d1195af63ad1e6ace30c661" } ], "title": "isofs: fix out-of-bounds page array access on empty zisofs block", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
