A plausible attacker would need local control of the affected platform/IPC peer or firmware configuration to trigger the bad hart/IRQ condition.\nAC:L - The bug is a direct non-contiguous hart ID versus CPU index mismatch with no race or timing requirement. Such hart mappings are plausible for this Microchip RISC-V platform, so triggering does not depend on conditions outside the attacker's control once the affected path is reachable.\nPR:N - The vulnerable probe and IRQ handler perform no Linux credential, capability, or authentication checks. An attacker able to drive the local IPC peer/firmware-triggered path does not need privileges inside the vulnerable Linux instance.\nUI:N - No victim action is required after the affected platform path is reachable. Probe-time setup or an IPC interrupt can hit the vulnerable access automatically.\nS:U - The corruption occurs in the Linux kernel driver and impacts the same kernel security authority. There is no VM escape, IOMMU bypass, or cross-authority boundary shown.\nC:H - The out-of-bounds index can read adjacent kernel memory/pointer fields and feed invalid buffer addresses into the SBI status path. Conservatively, this kernel OOB access can expose sensitive memory.\nI:H - The vulnerable probe path writes `irq`, `buf_base`, and `buf_base_addr` through an out-of-bounds `cluster_cfg[hartid]` index. This is kernel heap memory corruption and can plausibly be leveraged for control-flow or data integrity compromise.\nA:H - The same out-of-bounds access can corrupt kernel memory or dereference/copy through invalid pointers in interrupt context. A kernel oops, panic, or boot-time failure is a high availability impact." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/mailbox/mailbox-mchp-ipc-sbi.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e4b1d67e71419c4af581890ecea84b04920d4116", "lessThan": "95438699c92947155823dcd3918049a07f3cd867", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e4b1d67e71419c4af581890ecea84b04920d4116", "lessThan": "0442b6229e2eedc95a6d3d18ce75dec7f5b5377c", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e4b1d67e71419c4af581890ecea84b04920d4116", "lessThan": "f7c330a8c83c9b0332fd524097eaf3e69148164d", "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/mailbox/mailbox-mchp-ipc-sbi.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.14", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.14", "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": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.16" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "6.19.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.14", "versionEndExcluding": "7.0" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/95438699c92947155823dcd3918049a07f3cd867" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0442b6229e2eedc95a6d3d18ce75dec7f5b5377c" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f7c330a8c83c9b0332fd524097eaf3e69148164d" } ], "title": "mailbox: mchp-ipc-sbi: fix out-of-bounds access in mchp_ipc_get_cluster_aggr_irq()", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } } } }
