Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
Buffer overflow in drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c
The build id returned by HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) is
neither NUL terminated nor a string.
The first causes a buffer overflow as sprintf in buildid_show will
read and copy till it finds a NUL.
00000000 f4 91 51 f4 dd 38 9e 9d 65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50 |..Q..8..eGR..q.P|
00000010 b9 a8 01 42 6f 2e 32 |...Bo.2|
00000017
So use a memcpy instead of sprintf to have the correct value:
00000000 f4 91 51 f4 dd 00 9e 9d 65 47 52 eb 10 71 db 50 |..Q.....eGR..q.P|
00000010 b9 a8 01 42 |...B|
00000014
(the above have a hack to embed a zero inside and check it's
returned correctly).
This is XSA-485 / CVE-2026-31786
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the Xen hypervisor driver (drivers/xen/sys-hypervisor.c). This flaw occurs because the HYPERVISOR_xen_version(XENVER_build_id) function returns a build ID that is not properly null-terminated. When the buildid_show function attempts to process this non-null-terminated string using sprintf, it can read and copy beyond the intended buffer boundary, potentially leading to a denial of service or other unspecified impacts.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability.
