Descripción
*** Pendiente de traducción *** In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:<br />
<br />
ALSA: FCP: fix OOB write in fcp_meter_ctl_get()<br />
<br />
fcp_ioctl_set_meter_map() bounds the user-supplied Level Meter map size<br />
by the driver&#39;s own limit of 255<br />
<br />
if (map.map_size 255 ||<br />
map.meter_slots 255)<br />
return -EINVAL;<br />
<br />
and passes it to fcp_add_new_ctl() as the control&#39;s channel count, where<br />
it is stored as elem->channels.<br />
<br />
Every control read writes into struct snd_ctl_elem_value, whose integer<br />
array is declared long value[128], so the limit is 128, not 255.<br />
fcp_meter_ctl_get() stores one 64-bit word per channel into that array<br />
with no bound of its own:<br />
<br />
for (i = 0; i channels; i++) {<br />
int idx = private->meter_level_map[i];<br />
int value = idx value.integer.value[i] = value;<br />
}<br />
<br />
snd_ctl_elem_read_user() serves that object from<br />
memdup_user(_control, sizeof(*control)), 1224 bytes on LP64 out of<br />
kmalloc-2048. offsetof(struct snd_ctl_elem_value, value) is 72, so<br />
element i is written at byte 72 + 8 * i and element 144 already lands<br />
past the allocation. At map_size 255 the last store ends at byte 2112,<br />
888 bytes past the object and 64 bytes into the adjacent slab object.<br />
The stored words come from the device and meter_level_map[] selects<br />
which word lands in which slot, so extent and contents are both<br />
controlled.<br />
<br />
The core does not catch this. snd_ctl_check_elem_info() is reached only<br />
from __snd_ctl_elem_info(), which snd_ctl_elem_read() calls under<br />
CONFIG_SND_CTL_DEBUG; without that option snd_ctl_skip_validation() is a<br />
compile-time true. __snd_ctl_add_replace() validates kcontrol->count and<br />
never inspects elem->channels.<br />
<br />
Installing an oversized map needs CAP_SYS_RAWIO, but the control outlives<br />
the hwdep descriptor that created it, so the out-of-bounds stores are<br />
issued by any process able to read controls on /dev/snd/controlC0.<br />
<br />
KASAN on 7.2.0-rc5 (arm64), triggered by an unprivileged control read:<br />
<br />
BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in fcp_meter_ctl_get<br />
Write of size 8 at addr ffff000017af04c8 by task fcp_trigger/185<br />
__asan_store8<br />
fcp_meter_ctl_get<br />
snd_ctl_elem_read<br />
snd_ctl_ioctl<br />
Allocated by task 185:<br />
memdup_user<br />
snd_ctl_ioctl<br />
The buggy address is located 0 bytes to the right of<br />
allocated 1224-byte region [ffff000017af0000, ffff000017af04c8)<br />
<br />
Bound the map size by the ABI limit rather than by 255, and bound the<br />
store loop at the sink so it cannot run past the value array whatever<br />
elem->channels holds.<br />
<br />
