No local access to the embedded target is needed.\nAC:L - The defect is unconditional for the SPI-attached variant \u2014 every interrupt enters `ks8851_lock_spi()`'s `mutex_lock()` and `spi_sync()` with BHs disabled \u2014 and SPI is the original and primary attachment for this chip, so an attacker simply generating traffic reliably hits it with no race to win.\nPR:N - No authentication or privilege exists on the path; the interrupt is raised by the hardware on frame arrival, so an unauthenticated network attacker reaches the buggy handler by sending packets to the device.\nUI:N - The IRQ handler runs autonomously on packet reception; no action by any local user or administrator is required.\nS:U - The fault is contained within the kernel's own security authority \u2014 the driver's IRQ thread and softirq state \u2014 with no crossing of a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:N - The fix only moves `netif_rx()` outside the register lock by staging SKBs in an on-stack queue; there is no out-of-bounds access, use-after-free, or uninitialized data exposed, so no information is disclosed.\nI:N - No memory corruption, out-of-bounds write, or type confusion is involved \u2014 packet data and SKB handling are unchanged, so no attacker-controlled modification of kernel state is possible.\nA:H - Sleeping on a mutex and on `spi_sync()` with softirqs disabled produces a kernel BUG splat and stalls the ks8851 IRQ thread, which is exactly the hang class this patch series addresses \u2014 the interface stops servicing traffic and the system can hang."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ks8851_common.c"], "versions": [{"version": "492337a4fbd1421b42df684ee9b34be2a2722540", "lessThan": "8a3ff43dcbab7c96f9e8cf2bd1049ab8d6e59545", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "cba376eb036c2c20077b41d47b317d8218fe754f", "lessThan": "ae87f661f3c1a3134a7ed86ab69bf9f12af88993", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "49d5d70538b6b8f2a3f8f1ac30c1f921d4a0929b", "lessThan": "7e2901a2a9195da76111f351584bf77552a038f0", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "be0384bf599cf1eb8d337517feeb732d71f75a6f", "lessThan": "e0863634bf9f7cf36291ebb5bfa2d16632f79c49", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/micrel/ks8851_common.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.1.87", "lessThan": "6.1.91", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.28", "lessThan": "6.6.31", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.8.7", "lessThan": "6.8.10", "status": "affected", "versionType": "semver"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.1.87", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.91"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.6.28", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.31"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.8.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.8.10"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a3ff43dcbab7c96f9e8cf2bd1049ab8d6e59545"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae87f661f3c1a3134a7ed86ab69bf9f12af88993"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e2901a2a9195da76111f351584bf77552a038f0"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0863634bf9f7cf36291ebb5bfa2d16632f79c49"}], "title": "net: ks8851: Queue RX packets in IRQ handler instead of disabling BHs", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}, "adp": [{"problemTypes": [{"descriptions": [{"type": "CWE", "lang": "en", "description": "CWE-noinfo Not enough information"}]}], "metrics": [{"cvssV3_1": {"scope": "UNCHANGED", "version": "3.1", "baseScore": 6.2, "attackVector": "LOCAL", "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "userInteraction": "NONE", "attackComplexity": "LOW", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE"}}, {"other": {"type": "ssvc", "content": {"timestamp": "2024-06-03T18:04:06.438716Z", "id": "CVE-2024-36962", "options": [{"Exploitation": "none"}, {"Automatable": "no"}, {"Technical Impact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "version": "2.0.3"}}}], "title": "CISA ADP Vulnrichment", "providerMetadata": {"orgId": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "shortName": "CISA-ADP", "dateUpdated": "2024-11-04T16:21:03.956Z"}}, {"providerMetadata": {"orgId": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "shortName": "CVE", "dateUpdated": "2024-08-02T03:43:50.389Z"}, "title": "CVE Program Container", "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a3ff43dcbab7c96f9e8cf2bd1049ab8d6e59545", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae87f661f3c1a3134a7ed86ab69bf9f12af88993", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e2901a2a9195da76111f351584bf77552a038f0", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0863634bf9f7cf36291ebb5bfa2d16632f79c49", "tags": ["x_transferred"]}]}]}}

En este punto, es seguro activar el softirq net_rx_action(), ya que la llamada netif_rx() est\u00e1 fuera del bloqueo que protege el controlador IRQ."}], "id": "CVE-2024-36962", "lastModified": "2026-08-04T11:18:35.060", "metrics": {"cvssMetricV31": [{"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "NETWORK", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 7.5, "baseSeverity": "HIGH", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 3.9, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "type": "Secondary"}, {"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 5.5, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "LOW", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 1.8, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}, {"cvssData": {"attackComplexity": "LOW", "attackVector": "LOCAL", "availabilityImpact": "HIGH", "baseScore": 6.2, "baseSeverity": "MEDIUM", "confidentialityImpact": "NONE", "integrityImpact": "NONE", "privilegesRequired": "NONE", "scope": "UNCHANGED", "userInteraction": "NONE", "vectorString": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H", "version": "3.1"}, "exploitabilityScore": 2.5, "impactScore": 3.6, "source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "type": "Secondary"}], "ssvcV203": [{"source": "134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0", "ssvcData": {"id": "CVE-2024-36962", "options": [{"exploitation": "none"}, {"automatable": "no"}, {"technicalImpact": "partial"}], "role": "CISA Coordinator", "timestamp": "2024-06-03T18:04:06.438716Z", "version": "2.0.3"}}]}, "published": "2024-06-03T08:15:09.740", "references": [{"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e2901a2a9195da76111f351584bf77552a038f0"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a3ff43dcbab7c96f9e8cf2bd1049ab8d6e59545"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae87f661f3c1a3134a7ed86ab69bf9f12af88993"}, {"source": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0863634bf9f7cf36291ebb5bfa2d16632f79c49"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/7e2901a2a9195da76111f351584bf77552a038f0"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8a3ff43dcbab7c96f9e8cf2bd1049ab8d6e59545"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ae87f661f3c1a3134a7ed86ab69bf9f12af88993"}, {"source": "af854a3a-2127-422b-91ae-364da2661108", "tags": ["Patch"], "url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e0863634bf9f7cf36291ebb5bfa2d16632f79c49"}], "sourceIdentifier": "416baaa9-dc9f-4396-8d5f-8c081fb06d67", "vulnStatus": "Modified", "weaknesses": [{"description": [{"lang": "en", "value": "NVD-CWE-noinfo"}], "source": "nvd@nist.gov", "type": "Primary"}]}
