Descriptions
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: staging: media: atomisp: Fix stack buffer overflow in gmin_get_var_int() When gmin_get_config_var() calls efi.get_variable() and the EFI variable
is larger than the expected buffer size, two behaviors combine to create
a stack buffer overflow: 1. gmin_get_config_var() does not return the proper error code when efi.get_variable() fails. It returns the stale 'ret' value from earlier operations instead of indicating the EFI failure. 2. When efi.get_variable() returns EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, it updates *out_len to the required buffer size but writes no data to the output buffer. However, due to bug #1, gmin_get_var_int() believes the call succeeded. The caller gmin_get_var_int() then performs:
- Allocates val[CFG_VAR_NAME_MAX + 1] (65 bytes) on stack
- Calls gmin_get_config_var(dev, is_gmin, var, val, &len) with len=64
- If EFI variable is >64 bytes, efi.get_variable() sets len=required_size
- Due to bug #1, thinks call succeeded with len=required_size
- Executes val[len] = 0, writing past end of 65-byte stack buffer This creates a stack buffer overflow when EFI variables are larger than
64 bytes. Since EFI variables can be controlled by firmware or system
configuration, this could potentially be exploited for code execution. Fix the bug by returning proper error codes from gmin_get_config_var()
based on EFI status instead of stale 'ret' value. The gmin_get_var_int() function is called during device initialization
for camera sensor configuration on Intel Bay Trail and Cherry Trail
platforms using the atomisp camera stack.
En el kernel de Linux, se ha resuelto la siguiente vulnerabilidad: staging: media: atomisp: Corrección del desbordamiento del búfer de pila en gmin_get_var_int() Cuando gmin_get_config_var() llama a efi.get_variable() y la variable EFI es mayor que el tamaño de búfer esperado, se combinan dos comportamientos para crear un desbordamiento del búfer de pila: 1. gmin_get_config_var() no devuelve el código de error correcto cuando efi.get_variable() falla. Devuelve el valor 'ret' obsoleto de operaciones anteriores en lugar de indicar el fallo de EFI. 2. Cuando efi.get_variable() devuelve EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL, actualiza *out_len al tamaño de búfer requerido, pero no escribe datos en el búfer de salida. Sin embargo, debido al error n.º 1, gmin_get_var_int() cree que la llamada tuvo éxito. El llamador gmin_get_var_int() realiza entonces: - Asigna val[CFG_VAR_NAME_MAX + 1] (65 bytes) en la pila - Llama a gmin_get_config_var(dev, is_gmin, var, val, &len) con len=64 - Si la variable EFI es >64 bytes, efi.get_variable() establece len=required_size - Debido al error #1, piensa que la llamada tuvo éxito con len=required_size - Ejecuta val[len] = 0, escribiendo más allá del final del búfer de pila de 65 bytes Esto crea un desbordamiento del búfer de pila cuando las variables EFI son mayores de 64 bytes. Dado que las variables EFI pueden ser controladas por el firmware o la configuración del sistema, esto podría ser potencialmente explotado para la ejecución de código. Corrija el error devolviendo los códigos de error adecuados de gmin_get_config_var() basados en el estado de EFI en lugar del valor 'ret' obsoleto. La función gmin_get_var_int() se llama durante la inicialización del dispositivo para la configuración del sensor de la cámara en las plataformas Intel Bay Trail y Cherry Trail utilizando la pila de cámara atomisp.

It was discovered that improper initialization of CPU cache memory could allow a local attacker with hypervisor access to overwrite SEV-SNP guest memory resulting in loss of data integrity. Several security issues were discovered in the Linux kernel. An attacker could possibly use these to compromise the system.
