CVE-2022-49785
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: x86/sgx: Add overflow check in sgx_validate_offset_length() sgx_validate_offset_length() function verifies "offset" and "length" arguments provided by userspace, but was missing an overflow check on their addition. Add it.
Statement
The vulnerability in sgx_validate_offset_length() allows a local attacker to bypass bounds checks via integer overflow when providing crafted offset and length values to the SGX_IOC_ENCLAVE_ADD_PAGES ioctl. The issue requires local access and low privileges, as the SGX device is typically accessible to unprivileged users. However, it only affects systems with Intel SGX support enabled in the kernel, and exploitation can lead to confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts within SGX enclaves.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
