Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

io_uring: check for overflows in io_pin_pages

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5834 at io_uring/memmap.c:144 io_pin_pages+0x149/0x180 io_uring/memmap.c:144
CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 5834 Comm: syz-executor825 Not tainted 6.12.0-next-20241118-syzkaller #0
Call Trace:

__io_uaddr_map+0xfb/0x2d0 io_uring/memmap.c:183
io_rings_map io_uring/io_uring.c:2611 [inline]
io_allocate_scq_urings+0x1c0/0x650 io_uring/io_uring.c:3470
io_uring_create+0x5b5/0xc00 io_uring/io_uring.c:3692
io_uring_setup io_uring/io_uring.c:3781 [inline]
...

io_pin_pages()'s uaddr parameter came directly from the user and can be
garbage. Don't just add size to it as it can overflow.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.
