No network protocol delivers data into this driver.\nAC:L - A local attacker can start a transfer and force the software completion timeout (hardcoded 1s on I3C, or attacker-set via I2C_TIMEOUT including 0) so the waiter dequeues and frees the xfer while controller IRQs remain armed; the later ISR then uses the stale object, and the attacker can retry at will.\nPR:L - i2cdev_open() has no capability check; reachability depends on /dev/i2c-* DAC (commonly 0660 root:i2c on embedded and automotive boards) or unprivileged reads of I3C-backed IIO/hwmon sysfs. That is ordinary local access, not init-namespace root.\nUI:N - The attacker issues their own open/ioctl or sysfs operations against already-present I3C/I2C interfaces; no separate victim action such as plugging a device or mounting a filesystem is required.\nS:U - The use-after-free corrupts kernel heap state in the I3C master driver within the same kernel security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary.\nC:H - After timeout the ISR dereferences the freed renesas_i3c_xfer (including cmds, buffers, and completion). Reclaiming that kmalloc object lets an attacker control what the IRQ path reads from kernel memory, which per UAF guidance is High confidentiality impact.\nI:H - The IRQ handlers write through the freed xfer (xfer->ret, complete(&xfer->comp), FIFO copies into cmd->rx_buf). A sprayed fake object can turn cmd->rx_buf into an arbitrary kernel write and hijack control flow, so integrity impact is High.\nA:H - Even without exploitation, the post-timeout ISR dereferences a NULL or freed transfer pointer in hardirq context, causing a kernel oops or panic and full loss of availability."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/i3c/master/renesas-i3c.c"], "versions": [{"version": "d028219a9f1485914492bf373406f6a0e665ace2", "lessThan": "0093f9fc102ba8b98561fdd2f8559553ef56be59", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d028219a9f1485914492bf373406f6a0e665ace2", "lessThan": "ec631aff93261c6d031f953549802322032f2aba", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "d028219a9f1485914492bf373406f6a0e665ace2", "lessThan": "5f1a76ecfe90544a28d657306c9b3caa66ba0e63", "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/i3c/master/renesas-i3c.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.17", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.17", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.50", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3", "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": "6.17", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.50"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.17", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.17", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0093f9fc102ba8b98561fdd2f8559553ef56be59"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/ec631aff93261c6d031f953549802322032f2aba"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f1a76ecfe90544a28d657306c9b3caa66ba0e63"}], "title": "i3c: renesas: Check that the transfer is valid before accessing it", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
