On kernels built with FORTIFY_SOURCE this\nis caught as a buffer overflow while reading the module EEPROM via\nethtool:\n\n detected buffer overflow in memcpy\n kernel BUG at lib/string_helpers.c:1048!\n RIP: 0010:fortify_panic+0x13/0x20\n Call Trace:\n mlx5_query_mcia.isra.0+0x200/0x210 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5_query_module_eeprom_by_page+0x4a/0xa0 [mlx5_core]\n mlx5e_get_module_eeprom_by_page+0xbb/0x120 [mlx5_core]\n eeprom_prepare_data+0xf3/0x170\n ethnl_default_doit+0xf1/0x3b0\n\nExtend the mcia_reg layout to 32 dwords."

"value": "AV:L - The bug is reached only through local ethtool interfaces on the mlx5 netdev — the ETHTOOL_MSG_MODULE_EEPROM_GET genetlink message or the ETHTOOL_GMODULEEEPROM ioctl on a socket. No remote peer or received packet can trigger it.\nAC:L - A single ethtool module-EEPROM read of 128 bytes deterministically triggers the over-read on any adapter whose firmware advertises mcia_32dwords, which is the normal case on modern ConnectX hardware with a transceiver installed. No race, no memory-layout grooming, fully repeatable.\nPR:L - Both entry points check ns_capable(net->user_ns, CAP_NET_ADMIN), which is namespace-relative, so the root of an unprivileged user namespace owning a netns that holds an mlx5 VF/subfunction netdev (a standard SR-IOV container setup) can trigger it without any privilege in the initial namespace.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the read entirely on their own by issuing an ethtool query; no action by another user or administrator is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and its consequences are confined to the kernel of the same host; no VM, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Up to 80 bytes of kernel stack adjacent to the 64-byte 'out' buffer are memcpy()'d into the EEPROM data returned to userspace, disclosing saved registers, pointers and potentially return addresses or the stack canary — enough to defeat KASLR and stack protection and aid further exploitation.\nI:N - The defect is purely a read overflow; the destination buffer is sized from the caller's own request length, so no kernel memory is written out of bounds and no data is modified.\nA:H - On the widely enabled CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE the copy hits fortify_panic(), producing a kernel BUG/oops in mlx5_query_mcia() while rtnl/netdev locks are held (per the reported trace), wedging networking and panicking outright with panic_on_oops."
