The bug is reached via the local NFC control path (netlink GENL ops and AF_NFC sockets) that drives pn533_usb_send_frame() on an attached PN533 USB reader; a local attacker issues those host-side commands rather than exploiting a remote network service.\nAC:L - The race is between out_urb and in_urb completion that the attacker influences by submitting NFC/USB traffic (and fully controls with a USB gadget/dummy_hcd as in the syzkaller report), so success does not depend on conditions outside attacker influence.\nPR:L - Although NFC_CMD_DEV_UP/START_POLL require CAP_NET_ADMIN in the init user namespace, once a reader is up with targets an unprivileged AF_NFC SOCK_SEQPACKET client can connect, activate, and send data into pn533_transceive()/send_frame without further capabilities.\nUI:N - No separate victim action is required; exploitation proceeds by issuing NFC commands against an already-present PN533 USB device (or during automatic probe/setup traffic).\nS:U - This is a host-kernel UAF in the PN533 USB transport with impact confined to the same kernel authority; it is not a VM/IOMMU/sandbox boundary escape.\nC:H - The UAF frees the skb backing out_urb's transfer_buffer while the HCD still reads it, enabling heap-reuse disclosure of kernel memory (including to a colluding USB endpoint) per UAF scoring guidance.\nI:H - Use-after-free of the in-flight USB transfer buffer is memory corruption that can be leveraged via heap reuse for integrity compromise and control-flow hijacking under standard UAF exploitation.\nA:H - The same UAF triggers KASAN reports/oopses and unstable USB HCD access to freed memory, so availability impact is a kernel crash or hang." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/nfc/pn533/usb.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "c46ee38620a2aa2b25b16bc9738ace80dbff76a4", "lessThan": "35529d6b827eedb6bf7e81130e4b7e0aba9e58d2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c46ee38620a2aa2b25b16bc9738ace80dbff76a4", "lessThan": "321db5131c92983dac4f3338e8fbb6df214238c0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c46ee38620a2aa2b25b16bc9738ace80dbff76a4", "lessThan": "9424d2205fe94a095fb9365ec0c6137f0b394a2b", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c46ee38620a2aa2b25b16bc9738ace80dbff76a4", "lessThan": "0ca78c99656f5c448567db1e148367aa3b01c80a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c46ee38620a2aa2b25b16bc9738ace80dbff76a4", "lessThan": "39ae73e581112cfe27ba50aecb1c891ce57cecb1", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c46ee38620a2aa2b25b16bc9738ace80dbff76a4", "lessThan": "8998db5021a28ad67aa8d627bdb4226e4046ccc4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "c46ee38620a2aa2b25b16bc9738ace80dbff76a4", "lessThan": "9dab880d675b9d0dd56c6428e4e8352a3339371d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/nfc/pn533/usb.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "3.1", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "3.1", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "4.14.303", "lessThanOrEqual": "4.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "4.19.270", "lessThanOrEqual": "4.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.4.229", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.4.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.164", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.89", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.7", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.2", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix" } ] } ], "cpeApplicability": [ { "nodes": [ { "operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [ { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.1", "versionEndExcluding": "4.14.303" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.1", "versionEndExcluding": "4.19.270" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.1", "versionEndExcluding": "5.4.229" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.1", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.164" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.1", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.89" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.7" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.1", "versionEndExcluding": "6.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/35529d6b827eedb6bf7e81130e4b7e0aba9e58d2" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/321db5131c92983dac4f3338e8fbb6df214238c0" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9424d2205fe94a095fb9365ec0c6137f0b394a2b" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0ca78c99656f5c448567db1e148367aa3b01c80a" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/39ae73e581112cfe27ba50aecb1c891ce57cecb1" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8998db5021a28ad67aa8d627bdb4226e4046ccc4" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9dab880d675b9d0dd56c6428e4e8352a3339371d" } ], "title": "nfc: pn533: Wait for out_urb's completion in pn533_usb_send_frame()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2023-52907", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "partial" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2024-09-10T16:03:08.481823Z" } } } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-09-12T17:33:13.576Z" } } ] } }
