"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: sungem: fix probe error cleanup\n\ngem_init_one() calls gem_remove_one() when register_netdev() fails.\ngem_remove_one() unregisters and frees resources owned by the net_device,\nincluding the DMA block, MMIO mapping, PCI regions, and the net_device\nitself. gem_init_one() then falls through to its own cleanup labels and\nfrees the same resources again.\n\nKeep the register_netdev() error path in gem_init_one(): clear drvdata so\nPM/remove paths do not see a half-registered device, remove the NAPI\ninstance added during probe, and let the existing cleanup labels release\nthe resources once.\n\nThe issue was found by a local static-analysis checker for probe error\npaths. The reported path was manually inspected before sending this fix.\n\nCompile-tested with CONFIG_SUNGEM=y. Runtime testing was not performed\nbecause no sungem hardware is available."

"value": "AV:L - The flaw is in sungem PCI driver probe (gem_init_one) when register_netdev() fails during gem_init_one(); it is reached via local PCI enumeration/module load/hotplug/sysfs bind, not by processing remote network traffic through the NIC.\nAC:L - An attacker can reliably force register_netdev() to fail with ENOMEM using memory exhaustion timed with sungem probe or reprobe (modprobe, PCI hotplug, or sysfs bind); no uncontrollable race or rare heap layout is required beyond attacker-driven pressure.\nPR:L - Only a basic local process is needed to exhaust memory during probe; CAP_SYS_ADMIN/CAP_SYS_MODULE for driver rebind or modprobe is commonly available to maintenance operators, and concurrent unprivileged memory pressure can trigger the failing path without init-namespace root.\nUI:N - No victim interaction (opening files, mounting filesystems, clicking prompts) is required; exploitation is driven by attacker-timed memory pressure during sungem PCI probe error cleanup without actions from other users.\nS:U - The double-free corrupts kernel heap/DMA bookkeeping within the same kernel security domain; it enables local privilege escalation but does not cross VM, container, or IOMMU boundaries on its own.\nC:H - gem_remove_one() followed by fallthrough cleanup double-frees dma_alloc_coherent memory and free_netdev(), and then dereferences freed netdev_priv(gp) in gem_put_cell/iounmap, giving UAF-class heap disclosure primitives.\nI:H - Repeated dma_free_coherent, pci_release_regions, and free_netdev on the same objects corrupts kernel heap/SLUB metadata and can be developed into arbitrary kernel writes or control-flow hijacking, not merely a one-time fault.\nA:H - The double-free and subsequent use-after-free on probe error cleanup can immediately trigger kernel BUG/WARN, oops, or panic, causing total loss of system availability on affected legacy systems using sungem hardware."
