{
"lang": "en",
"value": "AV:L - GHES ARM processor CPER sections are consumed on the local host from ACPI APEI notifications (SCI, GSIV, GPIO, SEA, SDEI, NMI, or poll) via ghes_proc()/ghes_proc_in_irq() into ghes_handle_arm_hw_error(); there is no network or radio path. The most severe case is a local ARM server or VM whose firmware delivers a crafted ARM section.\nAC:L - After skipping the cper_sec_proc_arm header, remaining length was reduced by sizeof(pointer) (8) instead of sizeof(*err) (40), over-counting by 32 bytes. A recoverable ARM section with err_info_num large relative to error_data_length then deterministically parses past the section; no race or attacker-uncontrollable layout is required.\nPR:N - ghes_do_proc() and ghes_handle_arm_hw_error() apply no capability or credential check; firmware-first RAS notifications are processed in IRQ, NMI, or kworker context without a host login. Compromised ACPI/SDEI firmware or a BMC-written GHES status block needs no Linux account, matching other firmware-sourced kernel CNA scores.\nUI:N - GHES consumes the CPER record automatically on the notification and irq_work path. No victim action such as mounting a filesystem, opening a device node, or confirming a prompt is required.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds parse and any memory_failure() side effects remain in the host kernel that handles GHES. This is not a KVM/Xen guest-to-host escape or an IOMMU/DMA boundary bypass.\nC:H - The inflated remaining length lets the parser read a cper_arm_err_info object past the CPER section. On the SEA/NMI path the estatus node is allocated to the exact CPER size, so this is a kernel gen_pool/heap out-of-bounds read of adjacent objects, including pointers.\nI:H - Out-of-bounds err_info fields are interpreted as a processor cache-error record; if type and validation_bits match, ghes_do_memory_failure() poisons err_info->physical_fault_addr taken from adjacent memory. Firmware-controlled neighboring bytes thus yield a kernel integrity primitive via HWPoison of arbitrary PFNs.\nA:H - Reading past an exact-sized ghes_estatus_pool node can hit unmapped memory and oops, as the related ARM GHES parser already did on QEMU. memory_failure() of kernel pages or a large err_info_num walk in IRQ context can panic or hang, and notifications can be repeated."
