"value": "In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:\n\nswiotlb: use the adjusted address for the highmem page lookup\n\nswiotlb_bounce() reads the page frame number from the slot's recorded\norig_addr, then advances orig_addr by tlb_offset to reach the address\nthe caller asked about. The highmem branch mixes the two: the offset\nwithin the page comes from the adjusted address, the page from the value\nbefore it.\n\nOnce the adjustment crosses a page boundary the pair no longer describes\none location, and the whole copy lands one page below the intended one\nfor a positive tlb_offset, one above for a negative one. DMA_FROM_DEVICE\nwrites the device data over the wrong page and leaves the intended one\nstale, DMA_TO_DEVICE feeds the device from a page the mapping may not\ncover. Partial syncs through dma_sync_single_range_for_*() are what make\ntlb_offset non-zero.\n\nThe branch test is picked the same way, so a slot recorded in lowmem can\nbe adjusted into highmem and the lowmem path then hands a highmem\naddress to phys_to_virt().\n\nTake both from orig_addr once it is final and keep pfn in the branch\nthat uses it. PhysHighMem() asks the question straight from the address,\nas dma-debug already does."

"value": "AV:L - The defect is in swiotlb_bounce(), reached only via __swiotlb_sync_single_for_cpu/_for_device from a driver's dma_sync_single_range_for_*() on a bounced buffer. No protocol message carries malformed input, and a local user can only cause it by doing I/O on a highmem buffer through such a driver.\nAC:L - Not used; the AC line below is the real value.\nPR:L - The attacker needs an ordinary local account to issue I/O whose buffers (user or page-cache pages, which can be highmem) go through an affected device's streaming DMA mapping. No capability check on the swiotlb sync path stands in the way.\nUI:N - Once the attacker's own I/O drives the partial-sync pattern, no victim action is needed. The bounce runs inside the driver's sync call.\nS:U - The bad copy is done by the kernel's own swiotlb code into kernel-managed physical memory. No IOMMU, VM or other boundary is crossed beyond the kernel's own authority.\nC:H - On DMA_TO_DEVICE, memcpy_from_page() uses pfn_to_page(PFN_DOWN(old orig_addr)) and feeds the device a whole neighbouring physical page the mapping does not cover. This can expose unrelated kernel or user data to the device.\nI:H - On DMA_FROM_DEVICE, memcpy_to_page() writes device data over the page next to the intended one, corrupting arbitrary neighbouring memory. Separately, a lowmem slot shifted into highmem sends a highmem address to phys_to_virt() and memcpy() through a bogus pointer.\nA:H - Overwriting an unrelated physical page, or calling memcpy() on a bogus phys_to_virt() pointer for a highmem address, can corrupt kernel state or fault and oops the kernel."
