Descriptions

An incorrect setting of UXN bits within mmu_flags_to_s1_pte_attr lead to privileged executable pages being mapped as executable from an unprivileged context. This can be leveraged by an attacker to bypass executability restrictions of kernel-mode pages from user-mode. An incorrect setting of PXN bits within mmu_flags_to_s1_pte_attr lead to unprivileged executable pages being mapped as executable from a privileged context. This can be leveraged by an attacker to bypass executability restrictions of user-mode pages from kernel-mode. Typically this allows a potential attacker to circumvent a mitigation, making exploitation of potential kernel-mode vulnerabilities easier. We recommend updating kernel beyond commit 7d731b4e9599088ac3073956933559da7bca6a00 and rebuilding.

Una configuración incorrecta de los bits UXN dentro de mmu_flags_to_s1_pte_attr conlleva a que las páginas ejecutables privilegiadas sean mapeadas como ejecutables desde un contexto no privilegiado. Esto puede ser aprovechado por un atacante para omitir las restricciones de ejecución de las páginas en modo kernel desde el modo usuario. Una configuración incorrecta de los bits PXN dentro de mmu_flags_to_s1_pte_attr conlleva a que páginas ejecutables no privilegiadas sean mapeadas como ejecutables desde un contexto con privilegios. Esto puede ser aprovechado por un atacante para omitir las restricciones de ejecución de las páginas en modo usuario desde el modo kernel. Normalmente, esto permite a un atacante potencial omitir una mitigación, facilitando la explotación de posibles vulnerabilidades en modo kernel. Recomendamos actualizar el kernel más allá del commit 7d731b4e9599088ac3073956933559da7bca6a00 y reconstruirlo
