Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability was found in the ARM FF-A driver due to missing validation of the framework notification message layout. Incorrect offset and size values can lead to out-of-bounds reads or oversized memory allocations.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes potential leakage of sensitive data or system crash (kernel panic) from processing malicious firmware data, which could enable local privilege escalation or compromise system integrity.

Recommendation

Apply the security patch provided by the Linux kernel distributor for the affected version immediately. It is recommended to update to the latest stable kernel release.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: firmware: arm_ffa: Validate framework notification message layout Framework notifications carry an indirect message in the shared RX buffer. Validate the reported offset and size before using them, reject zero-length payloads, and ensure that any non-header payload starts at the UUID field rather than in the middle of the message header. Use the validated offset and size values for both kmemdup() and the UUID parsing path so malformed firmware data cannot drive an out-of-bounds read or an oversized allocation.
