Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: EDAC/bluefield: Fix potential integer overflow The 64-bit argument for the "get DIMM info" SMC call consists of mem_ctrl_idx left-shifted 16 bits and OR-ed with DIMM index. With mem_ctrl_idx defined as 32-bits wide the left-shift operation truncates the upper 16 bits of information during the calculation of the SMC argument. The mem_ctrl_idx stack variable must be defined as 64-bits wide to prevent any potential integer overflow, i.e. loss of data from upper 16 bits.

Distribution advisory

This page covers CVE-2024-53161 as tracked by Ubuntu, for the package linux. The fix is available in version 6.8.0-58.60; earlier versions remain affected.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached with local access to the system, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs low-level privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity none, availability high.

CVSS metrics in full

The score comes from this vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H

Attack vector: Local — a local account, shell or session on the host is needed.
Attack complexity: Low — the attack works reliably, with no preparation.
Privileges required: Low — an ordinary user account is enough.
User interaction: None — nobody has to be tricked into anything.
Scope: Unchanged — the damage stays inside the vulnerable component.
Confidentiality impact: None.
Integrity impact: None.
Availability impact: High — total loss, or loss the attacker controls.
