DescriptionCVE.org

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

soc/tegra: cbb: Fix incorrect ARRAY_SIZE in fabric lookup tables

Fix incorrect ARRAY_SIZE usage in fabric lookup tables which could cause out-of-bounds access during target timeout lookup.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds memory access in the Linux kernel's NVIDIA Tegra Control Backbone (CBB) driver (soc/tegra: cbb) stems from an incorrect ARRAY_SIZE calculation in the fabric lookup tables, which can be triggered during a target timeout lookup on Tegra-based systems. A local, low-privileged attacker on affected Tegra hardware could read out-of-bounds kernel memory (information disclosure) or crash the system (denial of service), with CVSS 7.1. The flaw has been fixed upstream; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is low at 0.17% (6th percentile).

Technical ContextAI

The affected component is the Tegra Control Backbone (CBB) error-handling driver in the Linux kernel SoC subsystem (drivers/soc/tegra), specific to NVIDIA Tegra ARM-based SoCs. The CBB is the on-chip interconnect fabric that routes transactions between masters (CPU clusters, GPU, peripherals) and targets (memory, registers); when a transaction times out or errors, the driver consults static fabric lookup tables to decode and report the offending target. The root cause is an incorrect ARRAY_SIZE usage when iterating/indexing these lookup tables - the bounds check is computed against the wrong array, so a timeout lookup can index past the end of the table. While the CWE is listed as N/A by the source, this is a classic out-of-bounds access (CWE-125 out-of-bounds read, the input tags also label it 'Buffer Overflow'); the high-confidentiality/high-availability, no-integrity CVSS profile is consistent with an OOB read that leaks adjacent kernel memory and/or faults.

RemediationAI

Vendor-released patch: update to a fixed stable kernel - 6.18.33, 7.0.10, or 7.1 or later (the fix is also backported to the relevant stable trees via commits f46870b4..., 5c009a5f..., and 499f7e5e... at git.kernel.org/stable). Distribution and device-vendor (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson/L4T, automotive BSP) kernel updates incorporating these commits should be applied as they become available. Because the flaw requires local low-privileged access, the most effective compensating control until patching is to tighten local access: restrict who can run unprivileged code on Tegra devices, minimize untrusted local users/containers, and harden access to interfaces that can drive CBB transactions. There is no clean feature-disable workaround since the lookup occurs in interconnect error handling, but reducing local attack surface (no untrusted shells/containers, locked-down debug interfaces) meaningfully lowers risk at the cost of operational flexibility on shared devices.
