No race or external timing condition is required, and transient lock contention can be retried.\nPR:L - A normal unprivileged local user can use io_uring when the default io_uring sysctl allows it and can read /proc/self/fdinfo for its own fd. No real root or init-namespace capability is required.\nUI:N - The attacker triggers the bug by reading their own fdinfo file. No victim action is needed.\nS:U - The issue is a local kernel memory access bug within the same kernel security authority. It does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or other separate security scope boundary.\nC:H - The bug prints the second half of a 128-byte SQE by dereferencing up to 64 bytes past the SQE array, exposing adjacent kernel memory through procfs. The leak is attacker-triggerable and repeatable, so the highest defensible confidentiality impact is high.\nI:N - The vulnerable operation is an out-of-bounds read used for fdinfo printing and does not write to kernel memory or directly modify protected state.\nA:H - The same out-of-bounds kernel dereference can cross the end of the SQE allocation or a vmap-backed region and fault/oops depending on allocation layout. An unprivileged attacker can repeatedly trigger the path, so availability impact is high." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "io_uring/fdinfo.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "1cba30bf9fdd6c982708f3587f609a30c370d889", "lessThan": "ba21ab247a5be5382da7464b95afbe5f0e9aa503", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1cba30bf9fdd6c982708f3587f609a30c370d889", "lessThan": "5170efd9c344c68a8075dcb8ed38d3f8a60e7ed4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" } ] }, { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "io_uring/fdinfo.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.19", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.19", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.11", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.19.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.0", "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": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.11" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.19", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ba21ab247a5be5382da7464b95afbe5f0e9aa503" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5170efd9c344c68a8075dcb8ed38d3f8a60e7ed4" } ], "title": "io_uring/fdinfo: fix OOB read in SQE_MIXED wrap check", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
