Summary

In the Linux kernel, a vulnerability in the net:devmem mechanism lacks validation of page alignment for dma-buf size and SG segment length. This mismatch can cause out-of-bounds read of the tx_vec array during sendmsg() and desynchronization of num_niovs from the gen_pool region, affecting both RX and TX paths.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of system crashes, memory leaks, or network instability, potentially leading to service disruption or unauthorized data access.

Recommendation

Immediately update the Linux kernel to a version that includes the fix rejecting dma-buf binds with non-page-aligned size or incorrect SG length.

Original NVD description (English source)

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net: devmem: reject dma-buf bind with non-page-aligned size or SG length net_devmem_bind_dmabuf() trusts dmabuf->size and sg_dma_len() to be PAGE_SIZE multiples without checking: - tx_vec is sized dmabuf->size / PAGE_SIZE, and net_devmem_get_niov_at() only bounds-checks virt_addr < dmabuf->size before indexing tx_vec[virt_addr / PAGE_SIZE]. With size = N*PAGE_SIZE + r (1 <= r < PAGE_SIZE), sendmsg() at iov_base = N*PAGE_SIZE passes the bound check and reads tx_vec[N] -- one past. - owner->area.num_niovs = len / PAGE_SIZE while gen_pool_add_owner() covers the full byte len, so a non-page-multiple non-final sg desyncs num_niovs from the gen_pool region for every later sg, on both RX and TX. dma-buf does not require page-aligned sizes, so the bind path has to enforce what its own indexing assumes. Reject both with -EINVAL. The size check is TX-only (only tx_vec is sized off dmabuf->size); the SG-length check covers both directions.
