CVE-2026-98545 in Linux
摘要
由 MITRE • 2026-10-18
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
ata: libata-scsi: bound the ATA passthru sense descriptor writes
When an ATA PASS-THROUGH command to an ATAPI device fails, the sense buffer holds the device's REQUEST SENSE reply, and ata_scsi_set_passthru_sense_fields() trusts its additional length byte, sb[7], when adding the ATA Status Return descriptor. A faulty
or malicious device can use that to make the kernel read and write past the 96-byte buffer in three ways:
- scsi_sense_desc_find() is passed sb[7] + 8 as the buffer length, so
its clamp against sb[7] does nothing and the walk runs off the end.
- A type-9 descriptor found near the end is filled in unchecked. - A new descriptor at sb[8 + len] needs len + 22 bytes, not len + 14,
so len 75..82 writes up to 8 bytes past the end.
Reproduced with KASAN under qemu, with the emulated ATAPI REQUEST SENSE reply patched:
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in scsi_sense_desc_find+0x1a5/0x210 BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ata_scsi_qc_complete+0x1a15/0x1a50
Both are gone with this patch, and a valid descriptor is still filled in.
