No victim must open an IIO device, the cros_ec chardev, or take any other action.\nS:U - The overread is of the host kernel heap object allocated for sensorhub->msg in cros_ec_sensorhub_probe(); impact stays in the same kernel that runs the sensorhub driver, not a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - After clamping, memcpy(fifo_info, &resp->fifo_info, fifo_info_length) reads past the max_response-sized msg->data allocation into adjacent slab. With dump.sensor_count up to 255 that is hundreds of bytes of kernel heap, and fifo_info->lost[] is later printed in the \"Sensor %d: lost: %d\" warning, not a few-byte leak.\nI:N - fifo_info is allocated fifo_info_length bytes in cros_ec_sensorhub_ring_allocate(), so the memcpy destination is in-bounds. fifo_info->count/size are then checked against fifo_size before MOTIONSENSE_CMD_FIFO_READ; this is an overread only, with no OOB write or control-flow hijack.\nA:H - memcpy() of fifo_info_length past the probe kmalloc (sizeof(cros_ec_command)+max_response) can walk off the slab into unmapped or poisoned memory and oops. A malicious EC can report a tiny max_response and large sensor_count to make that overread hundreds of bytes from a small object." } ] } ], "affected": [ { "product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux",
