Unknown
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In the Linux kernel powerpc/pseries papr-phy-attest, missing validation of cmd.length could lead to buffer overflow. The fix adds length checks and fixes memory leaks on error paths.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker could exploit the missing validation to cause buffer overflow, potentially leading to system crash or privilege escalation.

Recommendation

Apply the Linux kernel update containing the fix for papr-phy-attest.

Original NVD description (English source)

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.
