The table author sets those AML bytes, with no race.\nPR:N - acpi_bus_init() calls acpi_load_tables() at boot with no capable() check, so a DSDT/SSDT whose FieldList is truncated reaches acpi_ps_get_next_field() with no Linux uid or user-namespace privilege.\nUI:N - acpi_ns_execute_table() parses module-level Field/BankField/IndexField opcodes while acpi_load_tables() runs from acpi_bus_init() on ordinary power-on; no victim mount, sysfs open, or module load is required to reach acpi_ps_get_next_field().\nS:U - The over-read is of kernel heap adjacent to the ACPI table buffer parsed by host ACPICA in acpi_ps_get_next_field(); it does not cross a KVM/Xen, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - Without aml_end checks, acpi_ps_get_next_field() ACPI_MOVE_32_TO_32-reads a NameSeg and ACPI_GET8-reads Access/ExtAccess bytes past the table heap object (ASAN: 4-byte read past a 175-byte allocation). ARGP_FIELDLIST keeps looping while aml < pkg_end from the attacker-chosen Field PkgLength, so the walk is not capped to a few header bytes.\nI:N - ASAN reports a READ of size 4 in AcpiPsGetNextField; ACPI_MOVE_32_TO_32 and ACPI_GET8 only fill local name/access_type variables and the newly allocated field op. The function never stores through parser_state->aml, so there is no out-of-bounds write.\nA:H - The ASAN heap-buffer-overflow is the NamedField ACPI_MOVE_32_TO_32 immediately past the 175-byte table allocation (shadow redzone). A read off that slab object during acpi_load_tables() can oops or panic the kernel at boot." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/acpi/acpica/psargs.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "1d704a9ba665f8d1598fc6f37a76cbd6547cdcb1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "6ecf2a4855a728c4c46e33919fea9480052d62a7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "6509f56df51235fe447b624e40c098082717625c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "7d97ecf2a4c7a77a9daa3fe76790ddecddc9cd0c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "add715fc1ef5b0a71afe22b3f02aa28775d9ba62", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "bc5b2158c7626e3e8a78c5bb93ce0a734a26b84a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "e15aa60de0256d63df2331bf5a4bc4dd287504cd", "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/acpi/acpica/psargs.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.271", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.222", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.189", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.158", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.111", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.53", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "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": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.271" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.222" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.189" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.158" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1d704a9ba665f8d1598fc6f37a76cbd6547cdcb1" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6ecf2a4855a728c4c46e33919fea9480052d62a7" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6509f56df51235fe447b624e40c098082717625c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7d97ecf2a4c7a77a9daa3fe76790ddecddc9cd0c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/add715fc1ef5b0a71afe22b3f02aa28775d9ba62" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bc5b2158c7626e3e8a78c5bb93ce0a734a26b84a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e15aa60de0256d63df2331bf5a4bc4dd287504cd" } ], "title": "ACPICA: add boundary checks in acpi_ps_get_next_field()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
