Local access to a CXL host is the applicable vector and is higher severity than physical card insertion.\nAC:L - Once an RCH downstream-port AER event is raised, the readl() loop copies sizeof(struct aer_capability_regs) (100 bytes) instead of the 44-byte physical Header Log with no race. Unimplemented RCRB MMIO commonly returns 0xFFFFFFFF, so header_len/flit reliably drive a second out-of-bounds read in pcie_print_tlp_log().\nPR:L - The AER ISR and CXL error handlers perform no capability check. An unprivileged local user, or a guest with a passed-through CXL endpoint, can induce CXL protocol/AER errors that reach this path; init-namespace root is not required.\nUI:N - PCIe AER interrupts are dispatched automatically by aer_isr() into the CXL PCI error handlers; no victim mount, file open, or other interactive action is required.\nS:U - The MMIO and stack out-of-bounds reads occur in the host kernel CXL/PCI AER code and do not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox security boundary.\nC:H - Adjacent RCRB MMIO is copied into software-only fields including header_log.header_len; pcie_print_tlp_log() then reads log->dw[] with a u8 index up to 255 past the 14-dword array, leaking up to ~1KB of kernel stack and RCRB contents to dmesg.\nI:N - Both issues are out-of-bounds reads only: MMIO is copied into a correctly sized stack aer_capability_regs, and pcie_print_tlp_log() only reads log->dw[]. In-bounds status writel()s and length-capped scnprintf() provide no write or control-flow primitive.\nA:H - The unbounded stack read in pcie_print_tlp_log() and readl() past the physical AER capability in the RCRB can fault or raise a platform machine-check, producing a kernel oops/panic; uncorrectable CXL RAS handling can also disable CXL.mem."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/cxl/core/ras_rch.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6ac07883dbb5f60f7bc56a13b7a84a382aa9c1ab", "lessThan": "8bd3523df1319edc61cd391e695c84a4618516df", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6ac07883dbb5f60f7bc56a13b7a84a382aa9c1ab", "lessThan": "8e3d9dbb25d3ddbe72b4542ec4f7c4e622fe0ced", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "6ac07883dbb5f60f7bc56a13b7a84a382aa9c1ab", "lessThan": "29458e62d0829cbc99435f3e44fd560f9bbf1da7", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}]}, {"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "affected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/cxl/core/ras_rch.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.7", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.7", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "6.18.51", "lessThanOrEqual": "6.18.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.2.4", "lessThanOrEqual": "7.2.*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "semver"}, {"version": "7.3-rc1", "lessThanOrEqual": "*", "status": "unaffected", "versionType": "original_commit_for_fix"}]}], "cpeApplicability": [{"nodes": [{"operator": "OR", "negate": false, "cpeMatch": [{"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.4"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.7", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8bd3523df1319edc61cd391e695c84a4618516df"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8e3d9dbb25d3ddbe72b4542ec4f7c4e622fe0ced"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/29458e62d0829cbc99435f3e44fd560f9bbf1da7"}], "title": "cxl/ras: Fix cxl_rch_get_aer_info() out-of-bounds AER register read", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
