A non-zero kernel or wrap-around address fails access_ok() in import_ubuf() on every call (ublk_check_fetch_buf() only rejects addr==0). ublk_map_io()/ublk_unmap_io() then pass the uninitialized iov_iter to ublk_copy_user_pages() with no race or victim state.\nPR:L - ublk_ctrl_add_dev() lets a caller without CAP_SYS_ADMIN create a UBLK_F_UNPRIVILEGED_DEV device, and those devices cannot set UBLK_F_USER_COPY, UBLK_F_SUPPORT_ZERO_COPY, or UBLK_F_AUTO_BUF_REG, so ublk_need_map_io() is always true. ublk_ch_open() has no capability check; ublk_open() allows the owner to issue I/O to /dev/ublkbN.\nUI:N - The attacking process itself issues UBLK_CMD_ADD_DEV and UBLK_CMD_START_DEV on /dev/ublk-control, UBLK_IO_FETCH_REQ with the bad addr on /dev/ublkcN, then read/write on its own ublkb disk so ublk_queue_rq() → ublk_cmd_tw_cb() → ublk_dispatch_req() runs. No other user must mount or open anything.\nS:U - ublk_copy_user_pages() copies between the ublk request bio pages and the confused iov_iter entirely inside the host kernel via _copy_to_iter()/_copy_from_iter(). This is local kernel memory corruption, not a VM, IOMMU, or hypervisor escape.\nC:H - On a READ, ublk_unmap_io() calls _copy_from_iter() with the uninitialized iov_iter. iterate_and_advance() may treat leftover iter_type as ITER_KVEC or ITER_BVEC, so memcpy_from_iter() copies kernel memory into the request bio pages, which the attacker then reads from /dev/ublkbN.\nI:H - On a WRITE, ublk_map_io() calls _copy_to_iter() with that uninitialized iter, so iterate_kvec()/memcpy_to_iter() can write the attacker-controlled ublkb write payload to leftover kernel pointers. Garbage iter_type is iov_iter type confusion and an arbitrary kernel write.\nA:H - iterate_kvec() loads p->iov_len from leftover kvec pointers and iterate_bvec() calls kmap_local_page() on leftover bv_page, either of which oopses. ublk_unmap_io() also hits WARN_ON_ONCE(!data_source) in _copy_from_iter() when the iter was left with data_source==0." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/block/ublk_drv.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "981f95a571e3ca20a496c0b77dbf6b06039c6648", "lessThan": "7f97c762b5f6e0005c5c7d040ded73bf7fb3587e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "981f95a571e3ca20a496c0b77dbf6b06039c6648", "lessThan": "27ff6e8703f7a7160c728501da2f8ef8e7bb6b2f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "981f95a571e3ca20a496c0b77dbf6b06039c6648", "lessThan": "0121c84adb6a4cd6f7560b5895bd88f9899bbc1f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "981f95a571e3ca20a496c0b77dbf6b06039c6648", "lessThan": "5ac6019cb78e98c9608fda72726b36ddf8474dd7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "981f95a571e3ca20a496c0b77dbf6b06039c6648", "lessThan": "3831568792af75b6523fa93bb91560e29189cf55", "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/block/ublk_drv.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.5", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.5", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.160", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.114", "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": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.160" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.114" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.52" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.5", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7f97c762b5f6e0005c5c7d040ded73bf7fb3587e" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/27ff6e8703f7a7160c728501da2f8ef8e7bb6b2f" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0121c84adb6a4cd6f7560b5895bd88f9899bbc1f" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5ac6019cb78e98c9608fda72726b36ddf8474dd7" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3831568792af75b6523fa93bb91560e29189cf55" } ], "title": "ublk: check import_ubuf() return value", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
