"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nnet: dsa: mv88e6xxx: bound the policy rule dump by the caller's buffer size\n\nmv88e6xxx_get_rxnfc() uses rxnfc->rule_cnt as the write index while\ndumping the policy IDR, clobbering the input value before it has been\nlooked at. That input is the number of entries the caller had room for.\nETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL requires no CAP_NET_ADMIN and the ioctl sizes the\nbuffer from the rule_cnt userspace passes in, so once an admin has\ninstalled policy rules any user can ask for fewer slots than there are\nrules and run off the end of the allocation. A rule_cnt of 0 leaves the\nbuffer pointer NULL and the walk dereferences it.\n\nCount into a local so the caller's limit survives the walk, and stop with\n-EMSGSIZE once it is reached."

"value": "AV:L - The overflow is reached only through the local SIOCETHTOOL ioctl: dev_ethtool() -> ethtool_get_rxnfc() -> dsa_user_get_rxnfc() -> mv88e6xxx_get_rxnfc(ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL). The bad input is the rule_cnt field of the ethtool_rxnfc struct the user passes in. No network packet reaches this path.\nAC:H - The OOB write only happens if policy rules already exist in chip->policies for that DSA port. Those are installed by an admin via ETHTOOL_SRXCLSRLINS, which needs CAP_NET_ADMIN over the hardware port. The attacker can't create that state. Once rules exist, a small rule_cnt triggers it deterministically.\nPR:L - dev_ethtool() lists ETHTOOL_GRXCLSRLALL among the commands exempt from the ns_capable(CAP_NET_ADMIN) check. Any unprivileged local user who can see the mv88e6xxx user port in their netns can issue the ioctl.\nUI:N - The attacker makes the ioctl call and picks rule_cnt themselves. No other user has to do anything.\nS:U - The corruption hits the kernel heap in the same kernel that runs the attacker's ioctl. No VM, IOMMU or other authority boundary is crossed.\nC:H - ethtool_get_rxnfc() sizes rule_buf with kcalloc(rule_cnt, 4) from the user's value. The driver then overwrites rxnfc->rule_cnt with the real rule count, so ethtool_rxnfc_copy_to_user() copies that many u32s from the undersized buffer, reading past the slab object into userspace. The same heap corruption can also be groomed to leak more.\nI:H - mv88e6xxx_get_rxnfc() writes rule_locs[rxnfc->rule_cnt++] = id for every rule on the port with no bound, so u32 IDs go past a kmalloc object whose size and cache the attacker chose via rule_cnt. That heap OOB write can corrupt neighbouring objects.\nA:H - With rule_cnt=0, ethtool_get_rxnfc() passes a NULL rule_buf and the IDR walk writes through it, oopsing the kernel on demand. Larger overflows corrupt slab memory and can panic the system. Either can be repeated."
