AI-suggested
An official patch is available and should be applied to affected Linux kernel versions to resolve this issue. The patch enforces rejection of dma-buf bindings with non-page-aligned sizes or scatter-gather lengths, preventing the out-of-bounds memory access. Users should update to the fixed kernel versions as provided by their Linux distribution vendors. No additional mitigations are specified or required beyond applying the official fix.
Description
A vulnerability in the Linux kernel's net: devmem subsystem was resolved that involved improper handling of dma-buf bindings with non-page-aligned sizes or scatter-gather (SG) lengths. The function net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() assumed dma-buf sizes and SG lengths were multiples of the system page size without verifying this, leading to potential out-of-bounds memory access. This flaw could cause memory corruption during transmit operations and desynchronization of internal data structures for both receive and transmit directions. The issue was addressed by rejecting dma-buf bindings that do not meet the page alignment requirements with an error code. The vulnerability affects multiple Linux kernel versions prior to 7.0.0-28.28 and several specific older versions. A patch is available to fix this issue.
