Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ice: change XDP RxQ frag_size from DMA write length to xdp.frame_sz
The only user of frag_size field in XDP RxQ info is
bpf_xdp_frags_increase_tail(). It clearly expects whole buff size instead
of DMA write size. Different assumptions in ice driver configuration lead
to negative tailroom.
This allows to trigger kernel panic, when using
XDP_ADJUST_TAIL_GROW_MULTI_BUFF xskxceiver test and changing packet size to
6912 and the requested offset to a huge value, e.g.
XSK_UMEM__MAX_FRAME_SIZE * 100.
Due to other quirks of the ZC configuration in ice, panic is not observed
in ZC mode, but tailroom growing still fails when it should not.
Use fill queue buffer truesize instead of DMA write size in XDP RxQ info.
Fix ZC mode too by using the new helper.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel, specifically within the ice network driver and the eXpress Data Path (XDP) component. This vulnerability arises from an incorrect calculation of the frag_size in XDP receive queue information, which can lead to an invalid memory state known as "negative tailroom." A local user can exploit this by manipulating packet sizes and offsets during XDP operations. Successful exploitation can trigger a kernel panic, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the affected system.
Отчет
This flaw affects systems with Intel ice network adapters using XDP (eXpress Data Path). The incorrect frag_size calculation (DMA write size vs. buffer truesize) causes bpf_xdp_frags_increase_tail() to compute negative tailroom, leading to memory corruption or kernel panic. Triggerable via XDP_ADJUST_TAIL with specific packet sizes. Requires XDP program loading privileges.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, prevent the ice module from being loaded. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/41278 for instructions.
