There is no remote or adjacent-network path to `pdsc_dl_info_get()`.\nAC:L - On an affected system (AMD Pensando DSC whose firmware rejects PDS_CORE_CMD_FW_CONTROL, or any device state producing -EIO) the bug fires deterministically on every `devlink dev info`, and the attacker can repeat it at will to resample stack contents. Nothing about the trigger depends on winning a race or on memory layout the attacker cannot re-roll.\nPR:L - `DEVLINK_CMD_INFO_GET` is registered with only `GENL_CMD_CAP_DO`/`GENL_CMD_CAP_DUMP` and no `GENL_ADMIN_PERM`, and `devlink_nl_pre_doit()` adds no capability check, so an ordinary unprivileged user can issue the query. Only a local unprivileged account in the initial network namespace is needed.\nUI:N - The attacker issues the devlink netlink request directly; no administrator or other user action is required for the path to execute.\nS:U - The uninitialized read, out-of-bounds read, and any resulting crash are all confined to the kernel of the same host. No VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - Up to 512 bytes of uninitialized kernel stack (and considerably more in the pre-clamp versions, plus the unbounded `strlen()` walk past the struct) are copied into a netlink reply readable by an unprivileged user, potentially disclosing kernel pointers and stack canaries and defeating KASLR/stack-protector. This is an out-of-bounds/uninitialized read that is not bounded to a few bytes.\nI:N - All writes on this path are bounded (`strscpy`, `snprintf`, `memcpy_fromio` of `sizeof(fw_list)`); the defect is purely a read of uninitialized and out-of-bounds memory. No kernel data can be modified through it.\nA:H - The unterminated `char[32]` fields make `nla_put_string()`'s `strlen()` run off the end of the stack frame \u2014 and in the unclamped versions the loop reads roughly 10 KB past it \u2014 which can touch the VMAP_STACK guard page and oops the kernel; the fix's changelog explicitly says the driver may \"at the worst crash\". An unprivileged user can retry this repeatedly."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/net/ethernet/amd/pds_core/devlink.c"], "versions": [{"version": "45d76f492938cdc27ddadc16e1e75103f4cfbf56", "lessThan": "cdd784c96fe2e5edbf0ed9b3e96fe776e8092385", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "45d76f492938cdc27ddadc16e1e75103f4cfbf56", "lessThan": "6702f5c6b22deaa95bf84f526148174a160a02cb", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "45d76f492938cdc27ddadc16e1e75103f4cfbf56", "lessThan": "12a4651a80dbe4589a84e26785fbbe1ed4d043b7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "45d76f492938cdc27ddadc16e1e75103f4cfbf56", "lessThan": "2567daad69cd1107fc0ec29b1615f110d7cf7385", "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/amd/pds_core/devlink.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.4", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.4", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.89", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.26", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.14.5", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.14.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.15", "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": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.89"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.26"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.14.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.4", "versionEndExcluding": "6.15"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cdd784c96fe2e5edbf0ed9b3e96fe776e8092385"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6702f5c6b22deaa95bf84f526148174a160a02cb"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/12a4651a80dbe4589a84e26785fbbe1ed4d043b7"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2567daad69cd1107fc0ec29b1615f110d7cf7385"}], "title": "pds_core: handle unsupported PDS_CORE_CMD_FW_CONTROL result", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
