"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\napparmor: fix missing bounds check on DEFAULT table in verify_dfa()\n\nThe verify_dfa() function only checks DEFAULT_TABLE bounds when the state\nis not differentially encoded.\n\nWhen the verification loop traverses the differential encoding chain,\nit reads k = DEFAULT_TABLE[j] and uses k as an array index without\nvalidation. A malformed DFA with DEFAULT_TABLE[j] >= state_count,\ntherefore, causes both out-of-bounds reads and writes.\n\n[ 57.179855] ==================================================================\n[ 57.180549] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in verify_dfa+0x59a/0x660\n[ 57.180904] Read of size 4 at addr ffff888100eadec4 by task su/993\n\n[ 57.181554] CPU: 1 UID: 0 PID: 993 Comm: su Not tainted 6.19.0-rc7-next-20260127 #1 PREEMPT(lazy)\n[ 57.181558] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.16.3-debian-1.16.3-2 04/01/2014\n[ 57.181563] Call Trace:\n[ 57.181572] <TASK>\n[ 57.181577] dump_stack_lvl+0x5e/0x80\n[ 57.181596] print_report+0xc8/0x270\n[ 57.181605] ? verify_dfa+0x59a/0x660\n[ 57.181608] kasan_report+0x118/0x150\n[ 57.181620] ? verify_dfa+0x59a/0x660\n[ 57.181623] verify_dfa+0x59a/0x660\n[ 57.181627] aa_dfa_unpack+0x1610/0x1740\n[ 57.181629] ? __kmalloc_cache_noprof+0x1d0/0x470\n[ 57.181640] unpack_pdb+0x86d/0x46b0\n[ 57.181647] ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n[ 57.181653] ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n[ 57.181656] ? aa_unpack_nameX+0x1a8/0x300\n[ 57.181659] aa_unpack+0x20b0/0x4c30\n[ 57.181662] ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n[ 57.181664] ? stack_depot_save_flags+0x33/0x700\n[ 57.181681] ? kasan_save_track+0x4f/0x80\n[ 57.181683] ? kasan_save_track+0x3e/0x80\n[ 57.181686] ? __kasan_kmalloc+0x93/0xb0\n[ 57.181688] ? __kvmalloc_node_noprof+0x44a/0x780\n[ 57.181693] ? aa_simple_write_to_buffer+0x54/0x130\n[ 57.181697] ? policy_update+0x154/0x330\n[ 57.181704] aa_replace_profiles+0x15a/0x1dd0\n[ 57.181707] ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n[ 57.181710] ? __kvmalloc_node_noprof+0x44a/0x780\n[ 57.181712] ? aa_loaddata_alloc+0x77/0x140\n[ 57.181715] ? srso_alias_return_thunk+0x5/0xfbef5\n[ 57.181717] ? _copy_from_user+0x2a/0x70\n[ 57.181730] policy_update+0x17a/0x330\n[ 57.181733] profile_replace+0x153/0x1a0\n[ 57.181735] ? rw_verify_area+0x93/0x2d0\n[ 57.181740] vfs_write+0x235/0xab0\n[ 57.181745] ksys_write+0xb0/0x170\n[ 57.181748] do_syscall_64+0x8e/0x660\n[ 57.181762] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x76/0x7e\n[ 57.181765] RIP: 0033:0x7f6192792eb2\n\nRemove the MATCH_FLAG_DIFF_ENCODE condition to validate all DEFAULT_TABLE\nentries unconditionally."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerability is triggered by writing a crafted AppArmor policy to the securityfs interface (`/sys/kernel/security/apparmor/.load` or `.replace`), which requires local system access.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the malformed DFA data (DEFAULT_TABLE entries) supplied in the crafted policy. No race conditions or unpredictable conditions are involved — the OOB access is deterministic.\nPR:L - AppArmor policy loading requires CAP_MAC_ADMIN, but the kernel default `unprivileged_userns_apparmor_policy=1` allows this capability to be obtained via unprivileged user namespaces, making it reachable by an unprivileged local user.\nUI:N - No user interaction is required; the attacker can craft and load the malicious AppArmor policy entirely on their own.\nS:U - The vulnerability results in kernel heap corruption within the same security authority (kernel space). No virtualization or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - The OOB read from `DEFAULT_TABLE(dfa)[j]` and `BASE_TABLE(dfa)[j]` allows reading arbitrary kernel heap memory beyond the allocated DFA tables, enabling kernel address/data disclosure.\nI:H - The OOB write via `BASE_TABLE(dfa)[j] |= MARK_DIFF_ENCODE` corrupts kernel heap memory at attacker-controlled offsets, providing a write primitive that could be leveraged for code execution.\nA:H - The OOB memory access causes kernel oops/crash as demonstrated by the KASAN report, resulting in system denial of service."
