"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nbpf, cpumap: Handle skb as well when clean up ptr_ring\n\nThe following warning was reported when running xdp_redirect_cpu with\nboth skb-mode and stress-mode enabled:\n\n ------------[ cut here ]------------\n Incorrect XDP memory type (-2128176192) usage\n WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 1442 at net/core/xdp.c:405\n Modules linked in:\n CPU: 7 PID: 1442 Comm: kworker/7:0 Tainted: G 6.5.0-rc2+ #1\n Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996)\n Workqueue: events __cpu_map_entry_free\n RIP: 0010:__xdp_return+0x1e4/0x4a0\n ......\n Call Trace:\n <TASK>\n ? show_regs+0x65/0x70\n ? __warn+0xa5/0x240\n ? __xdp_return+0x1e4/0x4a0\n ......\n xdp_return_frame+0x4d/0x150\n __cpu_map_entry_free+0xf9/0x230\n process_one_work+0x6b0/0xb80\n worker_thread+0x96/0x720\n kthread+0x1a5/0x1f0\n ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x70\n ret_from_fork_asm+0x1b/0x30\n </TASK>\n\nThe reason for the warning is twofold. One is due to the kthread\ncpu_map_kthread_run() is stopped prematurely. Another one is\n__cpu_map_ring_cleanup() doesn't handle skb mode and treats skbs in\nptr_ring as XDP frames.\n\nPrematurely-stopped kthread will be fixed by the preceding patch and\nptr_ring will be empty when __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() is called. But\nas the comments in __cpu_map_ring_cleanup() said, handling and freeing\nskbs in ptr_ring as well to \"catch any broken behaviour gracefully\"."

"value": "AV:L - Triggering requires local BPF syscalls (cpumap creation, XDP program load, map update/delete) to set up and then tear down the cpumap entry; a purely remote attacker cannot reach `__cpu_map_ring_cleanup()`.\nAC:L - The attacker controls every side of the race — map entry create/delete timing, the CPU pressure that starves the bound cpumap kthread, and the packet injection that leaves skbs in the ptr_ring — and no rare kernel config is needed since generic (skb-mode) XDP works on any netdev.\nPR:L - Requires `bpf_capable()` plus `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, i.e. an unprivileged-but-capability-granted service account (XDP/eBPF datapath agents, container network plugins) rather than full root, matching the kernel CNA's standard treatment of BPF-subsystem flaws as low-privilege local attacks.\nUI:N - The entire sequence — map setup, XDP attach, traffic generation, map teardown — is performed by the attacker's own process with no action by any other user.\nS:U - The type confusion and the resulting memory damage stay within the kernel's own security authority; no VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - With the bogus HAS_FRAGS bit set, `xdp_get_shared_info_from_frame()` dereferences an address computed from misread sk_buff fields, producing an unbounded out-of-bounds read of kernel memory that is then interpreted as page pointers — an information-disclosure primitive on top of the type confusion.\nI:H - Treating an sk_buff as an xdp_frame is a type confusion in which garbage `mem.type`/`data` values steer `page_pool_put_full_page()`, `page_frag_free()`, or `put_page()` at attacker-influenced addresses, giving page-refcount corruption and premature frees that are leverageable into a write primitive.\nA:H - The path reliably produces a `WARN()` splat (a panic under the common `panic_on_warn` setting), can oops on wild dereferences or unaligned 64-bit loads, and leaks the skb and its data on every occurrence."
