CVE-2024-57999
Description
From CVE.org
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: powerpc/pseries/iommu: IOMMU incorrectly marks MMIO range in DDW Power Hypervisor can possibily allocate MMIO window intersecting with Dynamic DMA Window (DDW) range, which is over 32-bit addressing. These MMIO pages needs to be marked as reserved so that IOMMU doesn't map DMA buffers in this range. The current code is not marking these pages correctly which is resulting in LPAR to OOPS while booting. The stack is at below BUG: Unable to handle kernel data access on read at 0xc00800005cd40000 Faulting instruction address: 0xc00000000005cdac Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] LE PAGE_SIZE=64K MMU=Hash SMP NR_CPUS=2048 NUMA pSeries Modules linked in: af_packet rfkill ibmveth(X) lpfc(+) nvmet_fc nvmet nvme_keyring crct10dif_vpmsum nvme_fc nvme_fabrics nvme_core be2net(+) nvme_auth rtc_generic nfsd auth_rpcgss nfs_acl lockd grace sunrpc fuse configfs ip_tables x_tables xfs libcrc32c dm_service_time ibmvfc(X) scsi_transport_fc vmx_crypto gf128mul crc32c_vpmsum dm_mirror dm_region_hash dm_log dm_multipath dm_mod sd_mod scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_alua t10_pi crc64_rocksoft_generic crc64_rocksoft sg crc64 scsi_mod Supported: Yes, External CPU: 8 PID: 241 Comm: kworker/8:1 Kdump: loaded Not tainted 6.4.0-150600.23.14-default #1 SLE15-SP6 b44ee71c81261b9e4bab5e0cde1f2ed891d5359b Hardware name: IBM,9080-M9S POWER9 (raw) 0x4e2103 0xf000005 of:IBM,FW950.B0 (VH950_149) hv:phyp pSeries Workqueue: events work_for_cpu_fn NIP: c00000000005cdac LR: c00000000005e830 CTR: 0000000000000000 REGS: c00001400c9ff770 TRAP: 0300 Not tainted (6.4.0-150600.23.14-default) MSR: 800000000280b033 <SF,VEC,VSX,EE,FP,ME,IR,DR,RI,LE> CR: 24228448 XER: 00000001 CFAR: c00000000005cdd4 DAR: c00800005cd40000 DSISR: 40000000 IRQMASK: 0 GPR00: c00000000005e830 c00001400c9ffa10 c000000001987d00 c00001400c4fe800 GPR04: 0000080000000000 0000000000000001 0000000004000000 0000000000800000 GPR08: 0000000004000000 0000000000000001 c00800005cd40000 ffffffffffffffff GPR12: 0000000084228882 c00000000a4c4f00 0000000000000010 0000080000000000 GPR16: c00001400c4fe800 0000000004000000 0800000000000000 c00000006088b800 GPR20: c00001401a7be980 c00001400eff3800 c000000002a2da68 000000000000002b GPR24: c0000000026793a8 c000000002679368 000000000000002a c0000000026793c8 GPR28: 000008007effffff 0000080000000000 0000000000800000 c00001400c4fe800 NIP [c00000000005cdac] iommu_table_reserve_pages+0xac/0x100 LR [c00000000005e830] iommu_init_table+0x80/0x1e0 Call Trace: [c00001400c9ffa10] [c00000000005e810] iommu_init_table+0x60/0x1e0 (unreliable) [c00001400c9ffa90] [c00000000010356c] iommu_bypass_supported_pSeriesLP+0x9cc/0xe40 [c00001400c9ffc30] [c00000000005c300] dma_iommu_dma_supported+0xf0/0x230 [c00001400c9ffcb0] [c00000000024b0c4] dma_supported+0x44/0x90 [c00001400c9ffcd0] [c00000000024b14c] dma_set_mask+0x3c/0x80 [c00001400c9ffd00] [c0080000555b715c] be_probe+0xc4/0xb90 [be2net] [c00001400c9ffdc0] [c000000000986f3c] local_pci_probe+0x6c/0x110 [c00001400c9ffe40] [c000000000188f28] work_for_cpu_fn+0x38/0x60 [c00001400c9ffe70] [c00000000018e454] process_one_work+0x314/0x620 [c00001400c9fff10] [c00000000018f280] worker_thread+0x2b0/0x620 [c00001400c9fff90] [c00000000019bb18] kthread+0x148/0x150 [c00001400c9fffe0] [c00000000000ded8] start_kernel_thread+0x14/0x18 There are 2 issues in the code 1. The index is "int" while the address is "unsigned long". This results in negative value when setting the bitmap. 2. The DMA offset is page shifted but the MMIO range is used as-is (64-bit address). MMIO address needs to be page shifted as well.
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)
Availability
Technical Impact: DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; DoS: Resource Consumption (Memory); DoS: Instability
This weakness can generally lead to undefined behavior and therefore crashes. When the calculated result is used for resource allocation, this weakness can cause too many (or too few) resources to be allocated, possibly enabling crashes if the product requests more resources than can be provided.
Integrity
Technical Impact: Modify Memory
If the value in question is important to data (as opposed to flow), simple data corruption has occurred. Also, if the overflow/wraparound results in other conditions such as buffer overflows, further memory corruption may occur.
Confidentiality,Availability,Access Control
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands; Bypass Protection Mechanism
This weakness can sometimes trigger buffer overflows, which can be used to execute arbitrary code. This is usually outside the scope of the product's implicit security policy.
Availability,Other
Technical Impact: Alter Execution Logic; DoS: Crash, Exit, or Restart; DoS: Resource Consumption (CPU)
If the overflow/wraparound occurs in a loop index variable, this could cause the loop to terminate at the wrong time - too early, too late, or not at all (i.e., infinite loops). With too many iterations, some loops could consume too many resources such as memory, file handles, etc., possibly leading to a crash or other DoS.
Access Control
Technical Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism
If integer values are used in security-critical decisions, such as calculating quotas or allocation limits, integer overflows can be used to cause an incorrect security decision.
