"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nopenrisc: fix arbitrary kernel memory access via or1k_atomic syscall\n\nsys_or1k_atomic() (syscall 244 in the \"or1k\" ABI) takes two user\npointers, v1 and v2, and swaps the words they point to in hand-written\nassembly.\n\n l.lwz r29,0(r4)\n l.lwz r27,0(r5)\n l.sw 0(r4),r27\n l.sw 0(r5),r29\n\nThe pointers are not checked with access_ok(). The four memory\naccesses also have no exception table entries.\n\nA caller passes a kernel address as either pointer, and the syscall\nreads from and writes to it directly.\n\nThis gives an unprivileged process a kernel read/write primitive. It\noverwrites kernel data such as the sys_call_table, gaining code\nexecution in kernel context.\n\nCheck both pointers before entering the critical section. Add fixups\nfor the four memory accesses so faults on valid but unmapped user\naddresses return -EFAULT.\n\n[shorne@gmail.com: fix comment style]"

"value": "AV:L - sys_or1k_atomic (syscall 244) is reached only via a local OpenRISC syscall into _sys_call_handler and sys_call_table; there is no network, adjacent-wireless, or physical-device path to the unchecked loads/stores in arch/openrisc/kernel/entry.S.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls both pointer arguments and the swap is deterministic with no race or KASLR (OpenRISC has none); a published unprivileged PoC on qemu-system-or1k overwrote sys_call_table[174] and obtained uid=0 on every run.\nPR:L - Any unprivileged local process can invoke syscall 244; the handler performs no capable()/ns_capable() check, authentication, or init-namespace root gate before dereferencing the caller-supplied pointers.\nUI:N - The attacking process issues or1k_atomic itself with crafted kernel addresses; no other user must mount a filesystem, open a device, or otherwise interact.\nS:U - This is a standard host-kernel privilege escalation (arbitrary kernel R/W and commit_creds via a hijacked syscall); it does not cross a VM guest/host, IOMMU, or other security-authority boundary.\nC:H - The syscall atomically swaps two 32-bit words at attacker-chosen addresses with no access_ok(), so pairing a kernel pointer with a userspace buffer yields an arbitrary kernel-memory read primitive of any mapped word.\nI:H - The same swap is an arbitrary kernel write; the fix commit documents overwriting sys_call_table to run commit_creds(init_cred) and gain root, i.e. control-flow hijacking and full integrity compromise.\nA:H - Writes to unmapped or critical kernel addresses oops or panic because the original accesses had no exception-table fixups, and corrupting kernel text, data, or the syscall table can hang or crash the machine even without a full root exploit."
