Описание
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
powerpc/pseries: papr-phy-attest - validate cmd.length, plug mem leak
In papr_phy_attest_create_handle(), the params->cmd.length is not
validated before use, which can result in a buffer overlow. Check it and
return -EINVAL if it is either 0 or exceeds sizeof(params->cmd).
Also, params is freed on the success path but not error. Free it on
errors after memory allocation. And free it on negative fd.
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's powerpc/pseries: papr-phy-attest component. This vulnerability arises from insufficient validation of a command length parameter, which can lead to a buffer overflow. Such an overflow could be exploited by a local attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code or cause a system crash (denial of service). Additionally, improper memory deallocation in error handling paths could result in a memory leak, further contributing to system instability.
