"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nxsk: Harden userspace-supplied xdp_desc validation\n\nTurned out certain clearly invalid values passed in xdp_desc from\nuserspace can pass xp_{,un}aligned_validate_desc() and then lead\nto UBs or just invalid frames to be queued for xmit.\n\ndesc->len close to ``U32_MAX`` with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len\ncan cause positive integer overflow and wraparound, the same way low\nenough desc->addr with a non-zero pool->tx_metadata_len can cause\nnegative integer overflow. Both scenarios can then pass the\nvalidation successfully.\nThis doesn't happen with valid XSk applications, but can be used\nto perform attacks.\n\nAlways promote desc->len to ``u64`` first to exclude positive\noverflows of it. Use explicit check_{add,sub}_overflow() when\nvalidating desc->addr (which is ``u64`` already).\n\nbloat-o-meter reports a little growth of the code size:\n\nadd/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 2/1 up/down: 60/-16 (44)\nFunction old new delta\nxskq_cons_peek_desc 299 330 +31\nxsk_tx_peek_release_desc_batch 973 1002 +29\nxsk_generic_xmit 3148 3132 -16\n\nbut hopefully this doesn't hurt the performance much."

"value": "AV:L - The malicious xdp_desc values are written by a local process into its own mmap'd AF_XDP TX ring and triggered via sendto()/sendmsg(); this is a local syscall interface, not remote network data processing.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls desc->addr, desc->len, desc->options, and pool->tx_metadata_len, so the overflow is triggered deterministically with no race or external condition.\nPR:L - AF_XDP socket creation only requires CAP_NET_RAW in the socket's user namespace, which an unprivileged user obtains via `unshare -Urn`; no real root is needed.\nUI:N - The attacking process performs socket setup, descriptor crafting, and transmission entirely on its own; no other user's interaction is required.\nS:U - The overflow corrupts kernel memory within the same kernel security authority; there is no crossing of a VM/IOMMU/sandbox boundary.\nC:H - The bypassed length validation causes an out-of-bounds read of up to ~4GB from kernel memory adjacent to the umem buffer, which is copied into transmitted skb data — an arbitrary kernel memory disclosure primitive.\nI:H - The invalid len/addr drive get_page() on arbitrary \"struct page\" pointers past the pages array and queue corrupted frames, providing a heap/memory-corruption primitive exploitable beyond a mere crash.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds access to the pages array and refcounting of garbage pointers reliably oops/panics the kernel."
