Remote network packets alone do not invoke ndo_set_rx_mode.\nAC:L - The attacker can control both sides by generating transmit traffic while repeatedly changing multicast/RX mode state. The active-URB window is repeatable and does not depend on conditions outside attacker control once the affected device is present.\nPR:L - A local unprivileged user can reach the callback through normal multicast socket membership paths without CAP_NET_ADMIN. Admin ioctl/netlink paths also exist, but they are not the least-privileged path.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the affected interface is present and usable. The attacker can trigger both TX and RX-mode changes from their own local process.\nS:U - The impact remains within the same kernel/host security authority. This is not a VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-scope boundary violation.\nC:H - The second transmit can refill an active URB and overwrite kaweth->tx_skb; the failed submit frees that skb while completion later uses/frees the same pointer. Treating this kernel heap UAF/double-free as exploitable, high confidentiality impact is defensible.\nI:H - The stale skb and active URB manipulation create kernel memory corruption, not merely a clean error return. With heap shaping, this can plausibly become arbitrary write or control-flow compromise.\nA:H - At minimum the bug triggers the usb_submit_urb active-URB WARN path. The associated UAF/double-free memory corruption can also oops, panic, or hang the kernel." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/usb/kaweth.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "443a830b1dc4f85c7560da59d4494b629feee215", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "586318c2730433184c6f1d21183e346ddf25e81d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "a2cd4b4db315a845a5603d08c9d03b11ddfc799d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "ef9b10a020503888eb6c8ed85a3d901a624ede4c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "9c79b839a63980c7da7ec5db895198045e154112", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "fc393af769af845d9985e2845e49553d8f015a64", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "8367c0e90126426e60581e4c07e1ec4411a0f843", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2", "lessThan": "64868f5ecadeb359a49bc4485bfa7c497047f13a", "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/net/usb/kaweth.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "2.6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.10.252", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "5.15.202", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.1.165", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.6.128", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.75", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.16", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.19.6", "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": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.252" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.202" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.165" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.128" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.75" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.16" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/443a830b1dc4f85c7560da59d4494b629feee215" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/586318c2730433184c6f1d21183e346ddf25e81d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a2cd4b4db315a845a5603d08c9d03b11ddfc799d" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ef9b10a020503888eb6c8ed85a3d901a624ede4c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9c79b839a63980c7da7ec5db895198045e154112" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fc393af769af845d9985e2845e49553d8f015a64" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8367c0e90126426e60581e4c07e1ec4411a0f843" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/64868f5ecadeb359a49bc4485bfa7c497047f13a" } ], "title": "net: usb: kaweth: remove TX queue manipulation in kaweth_set_rx_mode", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
