Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel (Operating System) (affected version unknown) and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function vduse_vdpa_get_config of the component VDUSE Kernel Driver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a uninitialized variable vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-457. The code uses a variable that has not been initialized, leading to unpredictable or unintended results. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

A flaw was found in vDPA with VDUSE backend. There are currently no checks in VDUSE kernel driver to ensure the size of the device config space is in line with the features advertised by the VDUSE userspace application. In case of a mismatch, Virtio drivers config read helpers do not initialize the memory indirectly passed to vduse_vdpa_get_config() returning uninitialized memory from the stack. This could cause undefined behavior or data leaks in Virtio drivers.

The weakness was presented 09/02/2022 as 2103900. The advisory is shared at bugzilla.redhat.com. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2022-2308 since 07/05/2022.
