Network or physical VME-bus input is not needed.\nAC:L - The attacker can deterministically configure an aligned slave window larger than 128 KiB and select the copy offset and length; no race or external condition is required. A 256 KiB overflow was dynamically confirmed under KASAN.\nPR:L - The driver performs no capability or namespace-specific check, so an ordinary account granted access to the VME device node can configure and trigger the flaw. Although devtmpfs defaults to root-owned mode 0600, non-root access for an industrial control or service account is a reasonable deployment.\nUI:N - The attacker independently performs the configuration and malicious read or write without requiring any victim action.\nS:U - Exploitation compromises the host kernel within the same security authority. This is a standard local privilege-escalation condition, not a VM, sandbox, or IOMMU boundary escape.\nC:H - The read path copies an attacker-selected, potentially very large range of kernel memory beyond the 128 KiB allocation to userspace. This can disclose adjacent allocations, kernel pointers, credentials, and other sensitive memory.\nI:H - The write path copies attacker-controlled bytes beyond the DMA or large-kmalloc allocation, potentially across many adjacent physical pages. This provides exploitable memory corruption capable of modifying kernel objects or achieving control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The out-of-bounds write was confirmed to trigger a KASAN kernel memory-safety failure and can corrupt or access invalid adjacent memory. A kernel oops or panic can be triggered without user interaction."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/staging/vme_user/vme_user.c"], "versions": [{"version": "f00a86d98a1ec3e99d352cda926fab767ba43b1f", "lessThan": "65358d89dc9f1c25d9364b2b3ef0f3b47717f9ed", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f00a86d98a1ec3e99d352cda926fab767ba43b1f", "lessThan": "adc8b9c30d716c362646edb45662aa1c641a154a", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f00a86d98a1ec3e99d352cda926fab767ba43b1f", "lessThan": "8eff7cd4817e14dbe3b9952cce55ef52d1d38940", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f00a86d98a1ec3e99d352cda926fab767ba43b1f", "lessThan": "e99f2df433c63c86c93de1e5f08f16e404388756", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f00a86d98a1ec3e99d352cda926fab767ba43b1f", "lessThan": "1b495fa0d4927c88d88bf346bf311f2e26e860ed", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "f00a86d98a1ec3e99d352cda926fab767ba43b1f", "lessThan": "9f32f38265014fac7f5dc9490fb01a638ce6e121", "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/staging/vme_user/vme_user.c"], "versions": [{"version": "2.6.32", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "2.6.32", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.1.178", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.1.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.6.145", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.6.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.12.96", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.39", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.4", "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": "2.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.178"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.96"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.39"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "2.6.32", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/65358d89dc9f1c25d9364b2b3ef0f3b47717f9ed"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/adc8b9c30d716c362646edb45662aa1c641a154a"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8eff7cd4817e14dbe3b9952cce55ef52d1d38940"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e99f2df433c63c86c93de1e5f08f16e404388756"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1b495fa0d4927c88d88bf346bf311f2e26e860ed"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9f32f38265014fac7f5dc9490fb01a638ce6e121"}], "title": "staging: vme_user: bound slave read/write to the kern_buf size", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
