"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\niio: event: Fix event FIFO reset race\n\n`iio_event_getfd()` creates the event file descriptor with\n`anon_inode_getfd()`, which allocates a new fd, creates the anonymous\nfile and installs it in the process fd table before returning to the\ncaller.\n\nThe IIO code resets the event FIFO after `anon_inode_getfd()` has returned,\nbut before `IIO_GET_EVENT_FD_IOCTL` has copied the fd number to userspace.\nBut since fd tables are shared between threads, another thread can guess\nthe newly allocated fd number and issue a `read()` on it as soon as the fd\nhas been installed.\n\nThis means the `kfifo_to_user()` in `iio_event_chrdev_read()` can run in\nparallel with the `kfifo_reset_out()` in `iio_event_getfd()`.\n\nThe kfifo documentation says that `kfifo_reset_out()` is only safe when it\nis called from the reader thread and there is only one concurrent reader.\nOtherwise it is dangerous and must be handled in the same way as\n`kfifo_reset()`.\n\nIf that happens, `kfifo_to_user()` can advance the FIFO `out` index based\non state from before the reset, after the reset has already moved the `out`\nindex to the current `in` index. That can leave the FIFO with an `out`\nindex past the `in` index. A later `read()` can then see an underflowed\nFIFO length and copy more data than the event FIFO buffer contains. This\ncan result in an out-of-bounds read and leak adjacent kernel memory to\nuserspace.\n\nMove the FIFO reset before `anon_inode_getfd()`. At that point the event fd is\nmarked busy, but the new fd has not been installed yet, so userspace cannot\naccess it while the FIFO is reset."

"value": "AV:L - Exploitation uses local open(), ioctl(), and read() operations on /dev/iio:deviceX; no network-reachable path exists.\nAC:L - The attacker controls both racing threads and can predict the lowest available event fd, repeatedly race its installation, and stall the read using a userspace page fault.\nPR:L - The kernel path has no capability or authentication check; an ordinary user granted device-node access can invoke the vulnerable ioctl and read operations.\nUI:N - No victim action is required, and supported IIO drivers can generate events automatically through sensor interrupts.\nS:U - The vulnerability affects the kernel hosting the attacking process and does not inherently cross a VM, IOMMU, or separate security-authority boundary.\nC:H - The underflowed FIFO length permits an attacker-sized out-of-bounds read beyond the 256-byte event buffer, exposing adjacent kernel heap memory and potentially sensitive pointers or data.\nI:N - The path copies kernel data to userspace and corrupts only the FIFO read index; masked FIFO accesses provide no out-of-bounds write or control-flow modification primitive.\nA:H - An oversized read crossing the containing slab object triggers BUG() with hardened usercopy, causing a kernel oops or panic and allowing repeated denial of service."
