DescriptionNVD

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

crypto: ccp: Don't attempt to copy ID to userspace if PSP command failed

When retrieving the ID for the CPU, don't attempt to copy the ID blob to userspace if the firmware command failed. If the failure was due to an invalid length, i.e. the userspace buffer+length was too small, copying the number of bytes _firmware_ requires will overflow the kernel-allocated buffer and leak data to userspace.

WARN if the driver says the command succeeded, but the firmware error code says otherwise, as __sev_do_cmd_locked() is expected to return -EIO on any firwmware error.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in Linux kernel CCP SEV driver allows local authenticated users to leak kernel memory to userspace. When the PSP firmware command to retrieve SEV CPU ID fails due to insufficient buffer size, the driver attempts to copy data beyond the allocated kernel buffer boundary, exposing up to 64 bytes of kernel memory. …

Within 24 hours: Inventory all systems running Linux kernels prior to versions 6.6.136, 6.12.84, 6.18.25, 7.0.2, or 7.1-rc1 with SEV capability enabled. Within 7 days: Apply vendor-released kernel patches to affected versions (upgrade to 6.6.136, 6.12.84, 6.18.25, 7.0.2, or 7.1-rc1 or later). …
