"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: af_key: initialize alg_key_len for IPComp states\n\npfkey_msg2xfrm_state() handles the IPComp (SADB_X_SATYPE_IPCOMP) case by\nallocating x->calg and copying only the algorithm name:\n\n\tx->calg = kmalloc_obj(*x->calg);\n\tif (!x->calg) {\n\t\terr = -ENOMEM;\n\t\tgoto out;\n\t}\n\tstrcpy(x->calg->alg_name, a->name);\n\tx->props.calgo = sa->sadb_sa_encrypt;\n\nUnlike the authentication (x->aalg) and encryption (x->ealg) branches of\nthe same function, the compression branch never initializes\ncalg->alg_key_len. IPComp carries no key and the allocation only\nreserves sizeof(struct xfrm_algo) (i.e. no room for a key), so the field\nis left containing uninitialized slab data.\n\ncalg->alg_key_len is later used as a length by xfrm_algo_clone() when an\nIPComp state is cloned during XFRM_MSG_MIGRATE:\n\n\txfrm_state_migrate()\n\t xfrm_state_clone_and_setup()\n\t x->calg = xfrm_algo_clone(orig->calg);\n\t kmemdup(orig, xfrm_alg_len(orig));\n\nwhere xfrm_alg_len() returns sizeof(*alg) + (alg_key_len + 7) / 8. With\na non-zero garbage alg_key_len, kmemdup() reads past the end of the\n68-byte calg object. Adding an IPComp SA via PF_KEY and then migrating\nit triggers (net-next, KASAN, init_on_alloc=0):\n\n BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in kmemdup_noprof+0x44/0x60\n Read of size 4164 at addr ff11000025a74980 by task diag2/9287\n CPU: 3 UID: 0 PID: 9287 Comm: diag2 7.1.0-rc6-g903db046d557 #1\n Call Trace:\n <TASK>\n dump_stack_lvl+0x10e/0x1f0\n print_report+0xf7/0x600\n kasan_report+0xe4/0x120\n kasan_check_range+0x105/0x1b0\n __asan_memcpy+0x23/0x60\n kmemdup_noprof+0x44/0x60\n xfrm_state_migrate+0x70a/0x1da0\n xfrm_migrate+0x753/0x18a0\n xfrm_do_migrate+0xb47/0xf10\n xfrm_user_rcv_msg+0x411/0xb50\n netlink_rcv_skb+0x158/0x420\n xfrm_netlink_rcv+0x71/0x90\n netlink_unicast+0x584/0x850\n netlink_sendmsg+0x8b0/0xdc0\n ____sys_sendmsg+0x9f7/0xb90\n ___sys_sendmsg+0x134/0x1d0\n __sys_sendmsg+0x16d/0x220\n do_syscall_64+0x116/0x7d0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n </TASK>\n\n Allocated by task 9287:\n kasan_save_stack+0x33/0x60\n kasan_save_track+0x14/0x30\n __kasan_kmalloc+0xaa/0xb0\n pfkey_add+0x2652/0x2ea0\n pfkey_process+0x6d0/0x830\n pfkey_sendmsg+0x42c/0x850\n __sys_sendto+0x461/0x4b0\n __x64_sys_sendto+0xe0/0x1c0\n do_syscall_64+0x116/0x7d0\n entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f\n\n The buggy address belongs to the object at ff11000025a74980\n which belongs to the cache kmalloc-96 of size 96\n The buggy address is located 0 bytes inside of\n allocated 68-byte region [ff11000025a74980, ff11000025a749c4)\n\nDepending on the uninitialized value the same field can instead request\nan oversized kmemdup() allocation and make the migration clone fail.\n\nThe XFRM netlink path is not affected: verify_one_alg() rejects an\nXFRMA_ALG_COMP attribute shorter than xfrm_alg_len(), so a calg added via\nXFRM_MSG_NEWSA is always self-consistent.\n\nInitialize calg->alg_key_len to 0, matching the aalg/ealg branches."

"value": "AV:L - Exploitation requires local PF_KEY and XFRM netlink messages; received IPComp network packets cannot create or migrate the vulnerable state.\nAC:L - The attacker can deterministically prime the same kmalloc-96 cache and control the stale length before triggering migration. No race or victim-controlled condition is required.\nPR:L - Both paths require CAP_NET_ADMIN relative to the network namespace's owning user namespace. An unprivileged user can obtain this capability in a newly created user and network namespace.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the attacker gains local execution and submits the crafted state and migration messages.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects the host kernel within its existing security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or equivalent scope boundary.\nC:H - The controlled length causes a potentially large out-of-bounds read across adjacent kernel heap objects, which can capture sensitive kernel memory and is not tightly bounded.\nI:N - kmemdup allocates a destination matching the computed length, and the vulnerable operation only over-reads the source. No out-of-bounds write or control-flow modification path was identified.\nA:H - The over-read can trigger a kernel fault or panic under memory-safety enforcement. Controlled oversized clone allocations can also be repeated across states to exhaust kernel memory."
