they control I/O timing and can retry without depending on rare victim-only state beyond issuing local storage traffic.\nPR:L - Unprivileged local users on typical LPC32xx embedded systems can reach the vulnerable DMA path by reading executables or files from flash-backed root filesystems or world-readable mtdblock nodes; root-only /dev/mtd access is not required for the read path through lpc32xx_nand_read_page_syndrome.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only attacker-initiated storage I/O against the NAND-backed device or mounted filesystem; no victim interaction such as plugging media, approving dialogs, or opening attacker-supplied content is needed.\nS:C - On DMA timeout the driver unmaps the scatterlist while in-flight DMA may continue, allowing the NAND DMA engine to access physical pages reused for unrelated kernel objects\u2014crossing the intended DMA buffer security boundary of the driver.\nC:H - Continued DEV_TO_MEM DMA after dma_unmap_sg can write into repurposed physical pages and leak their prior contents upward; falsely reporting success also returns incomplete or attacker-influenced NAND page data, and post-unmap DMA enables arbitrary kernel memory disclosure via controlled page reuse.\nI:H - In-flight DMA after dma_unmap_sg provides a DMA-after-free style write primitive that can corrupt adjacent kernel heap or stack objects, enabling control-flow hijacking and privilege escalation beyond the intended NAND transfer buffer.\nA:H - DMA-after-unmap corruption commonly provokes kernel oops, panic, or hang; falsely successful timed-out writes can also corrupt flash contents or filesystem metadata on industrial LPC32xx appliances, causing sustained denial of service or device bricking."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/mtd/nand/raw/lpc32xx_slc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "307e4f4c1d4e1575b3495ecc6e41aa2adc40f491", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "c367af37ce7238c96c6071337149099467160746", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "623c4d8e740debb4af28981e3d4e209f9d0260a4", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "bd4a622786f92e1f183f7557ab89dd32891cef60", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "8f5c3ee53a5dc1a0f7cfd780485f2c8b5d17f91d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "cf7258f57d18026b8f77c0e80ff1805e9caf7250", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "cb2031f8b226efbd13735c07b075e5f14ec11f6d", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2944a44da09e46b6db2fd2c3334f242b09e05c43", "lessThan": "17a8ce84964f243c8f89dc7353ac7e8d3137bc74", "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/mtd/nand/raw/lpc32xx_slc.c"], "versions": [{"version": "3.7", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "3.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.10.261", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.10.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "5.15.212", "lessThanOrEqual": "5.15.*", "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": "6.12.97", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.12.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.40", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.1.5", "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": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "5.10.261"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "5.15.212"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.1.178"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.6.145"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.97"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.40"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.1.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "3.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/307e4f4c1d4e1575b3495ecc6e41aa2adc40f491"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/c367af37ce7238c96c6071337149099467160746"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/623c4d8e740debb4af28981e3d4e209f9d0260a4"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bd4a622786f92e1f183f7557ab89dd32891cef60"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8f5c3ee53a5dc1a0f7cfd780485f2c8b5d17f91d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cf7258f57d18026b8f77c0e80ff1805e9caf7250"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/cb2031f8b226efbd13735c07b075e5f14ec11f6d"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/17a8ce84964f243c8f89dc7353ac7e8d3137bc74"}], "title": "mtd: rawnand: lpc32xx_slc: fail DMA transfer on completion timeout", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
