"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: do not pass flow_id to set_rps_cpu()\n\nBlamed commit made the assumption that the RPS table for each receive\nqueue would have the same size, and that it would not change.\n\nCompute flow_id in set_rps_cpu(), do not assume we can use the value\ncomputed by get_rps_cpu(). Otherwise we risk out-of-bound access\nand/or crashes."

{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:N - The vulnerable `get_rps_cpu()`/`set_rps_cpu()` path is reached while processing received network packets through the generic RX path. In a reasonable high-performance server deployment with RFS/aRFS enabled, a remote peer can drive this path by sending traffic to an exposed service.\nAC:L - Once the affected RFS/aRFS configuration exists, exploitation does not require winning an attacker-uncontrolled race; packets and flows can be generated repeatedly to hit mismatched per-queue flow table indexes. The requirement for RFS/aRFS-capable hardware and configuration is a deployment precondition for the affected subsystem.\nPR:N - The packet-processing trigger itself requires no kernel privileges or authentication from the remote attacker. Enabling/resizing the RPS/RFS tables requires init-namespace `CAP_NET_ADMIN`, but that is administrator configuration, not attacker privilege in the scored network scenario.\nUI:N - No victim user action is required after the network service and RFS/aRFS configuration are present. The vulnerable path runs automatically during packet receive processing.\nS:U - The impact is within the Linux kernel/networking security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary violation.\nC:H - The stale `flow_id` can cause out-of-bounds reads from kernel `rps_dev_flow_table` memory. Because this is kernel memory corruption adjacent to attacker-influenced packet flow state, high confidentiality impact is defensible.\nI:H - The same out-of-bounds `rps_dev_flow` access can write fields such as `filter`, `hash`, `last_qtail`, and `cpu` outside the allocated table. Kernel out-of-bounds write memory corruption is scored as high integrity impact.\nA:H - The fix explicitly cites out-of-bound access and crashes, and an invalid vmalloc-backed table access can oops or panic the kernel. Repeated remote traffic can retrigger the fault on vulnerable configured systems."
