CVE-2024-53128

Description

From CVE.org

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: sched/task_stack: fix object_is_on_stack() for KASAN tagged pointers When CONFIG_KASAN_SW_TAGS and CONFIG_KASAN_STACK are enabled, the object_is_on_stack() function may produce incorrect results due to the presence of tags in the obj pointer, while the stack pointer does not have tags. This discrepancy can lead to incorrect stack object detection and subsequently trigger warnings if CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS is also enabled. Example of the warning: ODEBUG: object 3eff800082ea7bb0 is NOT on stack ffff800082ea0000, but annotated. ------------[ cut here ]------------ WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at lib/debugobjects.c:557 __debug_object_init+0x330/0x364 Modules linked in: CPU: 0 UID: 0 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 6.12.0-rc5 #4 Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) pstate: 600000c5 (nZCv daIF -PAN -UAO -TCO -DIT -SSBS BTYPE=--) pc : __debug_object_init+0x330/0x364 lr : __debug_object_init+0x330/0x364 sp : ffff800082ea7b40 x29: ffff800082ea7b40 x28: 98ff0000c0164518 x27: 98ff0000c0164534 x26: ffff800082d93ec8 x25: 0000000000000001 x24: 1cff0000c00172a0 x23: 0000000000000000 x22: ffff800082d93ed0 x21: ffff800081a24418 x20: 3eff800082ea7bb0 x19: efff800000000000 x18: 0000000000000000 x17: 00000000000000ff x16: 0000000000000047 x15: 206b63617473206e x14: 0000000000000018 x13: ffff800082ea7780 x12: 0ffff800082ea78e x11: 0ffff800082ea790 x10: 0ffff800082ea79d x9 : 34d77febe173e800 x8 : 34d77febe173e800 x7 : 0000000000000001 x6 : 0000000000000001 x5 : feff800082ea74b8 x4 : ffff800082870a90 x3 : ffff80008018d3c4 x2 : 0000000000000001 x1 : ffff800082858810 x0 : 0000000000000050 Call trace: __debug_object_init+0x330/0x364 debug_object_init_on_stack+0x30/0x3c schedule_hrtimeout_range_clock+0xac/0x26c schedule_hrtimeout+0x1c/0x30 wait_task_inactive+0x1d4/0x25c kthread_bind_mask+0x28/0x98 init_rescuer+0x1e8/0x280 workqueue_init+0x1a0/0x3cc kernel_init_freeable+0x118/0x200 kernel_init+0x28/0x1f0 ret_from_fork+0x10/0x20 ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]--- ODEBUG: object 3eff800082ea7bb0 is NOT on stack ffff800082ea0000, but annotated. ------------[ cut here ]------------

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.

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)

CWE-843

Availability,Integrity,Confidentiality

Technical Impact: Read Memory; Modify Memory; Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart

When a memory buffer is accessed using the wrong type, it could read or write memory out of the bounds of the buffer, if the allocated buffer is smaller than the type that the code is attempting to access, leading to a crash and possibly code execution.
