"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nio_uring: fix physical SQE bounds check for SQE_MIXED 128-byte ops\n\nWhen IORING_SETUP_SQE_MIXED is used without IORING_SETUP_NO_SQARRAY,\nthe boundary check for 128-byte SQE operations in io_init_req()\nvalidated the logical SQ head position rather than the physical SQE\nindex.\n\nThe existing check:\n\n !(ctx->cached_sq_head & (ctx->sq_entries - 1))\n\nensures the logical position isn't at the end of the ring, which is\ncorrect for NO_SQARRAY rings where physical == logical. However, when\nsq_array is present, an unprivileged user can remap any logical\nposition to an arbitrary physical index via sq_array. Setting\nsq_array[N] = sq_entries - 1 places a 128-byte operation at the last\nphysical SQE slot, causing the 128-byte memcpy in\nio_uring_cmd_sqe_copy() to read 64 bytes past the end of the SQE\narray.\n\nReplace the cached_sq_head alignment check with a direct validation\nof the physical SQE index, which correctly handles both sq_array and\nNO_SQARRAY cases."

"value": "AV:L - The vulnerable path is reached through local io_uring syscalls and userspace-controlled SQ/SQE mappings, not by remote packets or physical access.\nAC:L - The attacker controls ring setup flags, sq_array contents, SQEs, and submission order; no race or external timing condition is required.\nPR:L - A basic unprivileged local user can create io_uring instances on the default kernel.io_uring_disabled=0 configuration and can use accessible uring_cmd files such as /dev/null or sockets.\nUI:N - Exploitation only requires the attacker's own syscall sequence and mapped ring manipulation, with no victim action.\nS:U - The issue remains within the kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security boundary.\nC:H - The bad 128-byte memcpy can read 64 bytes past the SQE array; for page-boundary layouts this can read adjacent kernel memory, so confidentiality impact is high.\nI:N - The investigated primitive is an out-of-bounds read into a valid request buffer, with no out-of-bounds write or direct arbitrary modification primitive identified.\nA:H - The same out-of-bounds read can fault or trigger kernel diagnostics/oops conditions and is repeatable by the local attacker."
