Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
dmaengine: ti: k3-udma: Reset UDMA_CHAN_RT byte counters to prevent overflow
UDMA_CHAN_RT_*BCNT_REG stores the real-time channel bytecount statistics.
These registers are 32-bit hardware counters and the driver uses these
counters to monitor the operational progress status for a channel, when
transferring more than 4GB of data it was observed that these counters
overflow and completion calculation of a operation gets affected and the
transfer hangs indefinitely.
This commit adds changes to decrease the byte count for every complete
transaction so that these registers never overflow and the proper byte
count statistics is maintained for ongoing transaction by the RT counters.
Earlier uc->bcnt used to maintain a count of the completed bytes at driver
side, since the RT counters maintain the statistics of current transaction
now, the maintenance of uc->bcnt is not necessary.
A counter-overflow flaw was found in the Linux kernel Texas Instruments K3 Universal Direct Memory Access (UDMA) driver. During long data transfers exceeding four gigabytes, the hardware byte-count registers could wrap and misreport progress, causing the transfer to hang indefinitely.
A local user could use this flaw to cause a denial of service due to a stalled input/output operation.
Отчет
The real-time byte counters used for tracking DMA progress were 32-bit values that overflowed during large transfers. The fix subtracts completed bytes after each transaction to prevent counter wrap and maintain accurate progress tracking.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent module ti_k3_udma from being loaded. Please see https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for how to blacklist a kernel module to prevent it from loading automatically.
