this is local device/mailbox access, not remote network packet processing.\nAC:L - A VF can craft a raw RSS/FDIR packet pattern that leaves ice_ptype_resolve() returning U16_MAX (0xFFFF); set_bit() then deterministically indexes far past the 1024-bit prof->ptypes bitmap with no attacker-uncontrollable race or layout dependency.\nPR:L - Attack requires control of an assigned E810 VF, typically as a cloud tenant VM with netdev admin capability or a VFIO-delegated process; this is low privilege relative to the host (not init-namespace root), mirroring similar SR-IOV VF bugs.\nUI:N - The attacker sends their own VIRTCHNL configuration message (or loads a guest kernel module to do so); no separate victim-user interaction is required beyond routine VF assignment already present in SR-IOV deployments.\nS:C - In virtualized/cloud deployments (the primary E810 use case), a malicious guest VF corrupts host kernel stack memory in the PF driver, crossing the guest-to-host isolation boundary analogous to KVM/SR-IOV escape class bugs.\nC:H - The out-of-bounds set_bit() stack write corrupts kernel memory far beyond the 128-byte ptypes bitmap; such uncontrolled memory corruption is leverageable for kernel information disclosure in an exploit chain.\nI:H - set_bit(0xFFFF, prof->ptypes) performs an arbitrary out-of-bounds stack write (~8 KB past the bitmap on x86_64), providing memory corruption primitives potentially usable for host kernel code execution.\nA:H - The bug was reproduced causing a NULL-pointer kernel oops/page fault in ice_parser_profile_init(); reliable triggering from a malicious VF can panic or lock up the host PF kernel." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": [ "drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_parser.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "e312b3a1e2092f612914dbc4fa5d96b4d8ff94ef", "lessThan": "fe2f8d5a77adea38e889fe3d6cde1b76d4a635bf", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e312b3a1e2092f612914dbc4fa5d96b4d8ff94ef", "lessThan": "5e496f2b615cec4b45537cfb5b54f36a51dc8753", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e312b3a1e2092f612914dbc4fa5d96b4d8ff94ef", "lessThan": "33cc15aaf2491166dddc018b24b3b7db53ec01b2", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git" }, { "version": "e312b3a1e2092f612914dbc4fa5d96b4d8ff94ef", "lessThan": "59abb87159c53605c063f6e2ceb215b5eba43ee6", "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/ethernet/intel/ice/ice_parser.c" ], "versions": [ { "version": "6.12", "status": "affected" }, { "version": "0", "lessThan": "6.12", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.12.101", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "6.18.42", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.1.6", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver" }, { "version": "7.2", "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": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.101" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.42" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.6" }, { "vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.12", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2" } ] } ] } ], "references": [ { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fe2f8d5a77adea38e889fe3d6cde1b76d4a635bf" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5e496f2b615cec4b45537cfb5b54f36a51dc8753" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33cc15aaf2491166dddc018b24b3b7db53ec01b2" }, { "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/59abb87159c53605c063f6e2ceb215b5eba43ee6" } ], "title": "ice: reject out-of-range ptype in ice_parser_profile_init", "x_generator": { "engine": "bippy-1.2.0" } }, "adp": [ { "metrics": [ { "other": { "type": "ssvc", "content": { "id": "CVE-2026-68128", "role": "CISA Coordinator", "options": [ { "Exploitation": "none" }, { "Automatable": "no" }, { "Technical Impact": "total" } ], "version": "2.0.3", "timestamp": "2026-10-16T15:44:20.996927Z" } } } ], "problemTypes": [ { "descriptions": [ { "lang": "en", "type": "CWE", "cweId": "CWE-787", "description": "CWE-787 Out-of-bounds Write" } ] } ], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": { "orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2026-10-19T20:58:52.382Z" } } ] } }
