no malformed input exists and the trigger is TX ring pressure from multi-fragment (NETIF_F_SG) SKBs, which a local user produces by flooding sockets through the bcmasp interface.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the traffic load: flooding multi-frag SKBs makes buggy tx_spb_ring_full() let bcmasp_xmit overwrite unreclaimed slots, so non-final fragments repeatedly land in slots holding a stale txcb->last=true; no hardware state outside the attacker's control is needed.\nPR:L - Sending TCP/UDP traffic that egresses the bcmasp netdev needs only an ordinary unprivileged local account; there is no capability check anywhere on the transmit path.\nUI:N - No victim action is involved; the attacker generates the transmit traffic entirely by themselves.\nS:U - The corruption affects kernel sk_buff/page memory in the same kernel that runs the driver; no VM or IOMMU boundary is crossed.\nC:H - bcmasp_tx_reclaim() frees the skb (dev_consume_skb_any) while its later fragments are still mapped for DMA, so freed and reallocated pages can be transmitted on the wire and the stale skb is accessed again: a use-after-free with disclosure potential.\nI:H - When the real final fragment is reclaimed later, dev_consume_skb_any() is called a second time on the same skb, a double free/UAF of sk_buff and frag pages that could be groomed into slab corruption.\nA:H - Double freeing the sk_buff and touching freed memory in bcmasp_tx_reclaim() from TX NAPI causes slab corruption and kernel oops/panic on the host."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/asp2/bcmasp_intf.c"], "versions": [{"version": "490cb412007de593e07c1d3e2b1ec4233886707c", "lessThan": "9b26b54861ce05307d39a54ddedddf8747419614", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "490cb412007de593e07c1d3e2b1ec4233886707c", "lessThan": "47a5cecca925ceb175d5adf712e667acf78f475f", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "490cb412007de593e07c1d3e2b1ec4233886707c", "lessThan": "17e6ad484dea5ddf1c4a3d6ec77a5929161234de", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "490cb412007de593e07c1d3e2b1ec4233886707c", "lessThan": "18e5e0ec0e9282c897e2aa81a3e43ccaee03b003", "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/net/ethernet/broadcom/asp2/bcmasp_intf.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.6", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "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": "7.2.7", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc3", "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": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.111"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.53"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.7"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9b26b54861ce05307d39a54ddedddf8747419614"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47a5cecca925ceb175d5adf712e667acf78f475f"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17e6ad484dea5ddf1c4a3d6ec77a5929161234de"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18e5e0ec0e9282c897e2aa81a3e43ccaee03b003"}], "title": "net: bcmasp: clear txcb->last before writing each descriptor", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
