Linux Kernel up to 7.1.4 ccp sev-dev.c sev_ioctl_do_pdh_export buffer overflow

CVSS Meta Temp Score
CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.
Current Exploit Price (≈)
Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.
CTI Interest Score
Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

Detailsinfo

A vulnerability has been found in Linux Kernel up to 7.1.4 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is the function sev_ioctl_do_pdh_export of the file drivers/crypto/ccp/sev-dev.c of the component ccp. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a buffer overflow vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-120. The product copies an input buffer to an output buffer without verifying that the size of the input buffer is less than the size of the output buffer, leading to a buffer overflow. As an impact it is known to affect availability. The summary by CVE is:

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: crypto: ccp - Treat zero-length cert chain as query for blob lengths When handling a PDH export, treat a zero-length userspace cert chain buffer as a request to query the length of the relevant blobs. Failure to account for the zero-length buffer trips a BUG_ON() when running with CONFIG_DEBUG_VIRTUAL=y due to trying to get the physical address of the ZERO_SIZE_PTR (returned by kzalloc() on the bogus allocation). kernel BUG at arch/x86/mm/physaddr.c:28 !
