DescriptionCVE.org

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

net: mana: Fix TOCTOU double-fetch of hwc_msg_id from DMA buffer

In mana_hwc_rx_event_handler(), resp->response.hwc_msg_id is read from DMA-coherent memory and bounds-checked, then mana_hwc_handle_resp() re-reads the same field from the same DMA buffer for test_bit() and pointer arithmetic.

DMA-coherent memory is mapped uncacheable on x86 and is shared, unencrypted, in Confidential VMs (SEV-SNP/TDX), so each load goes directly to host-visible memory. A H/W can modify the value between the check and the use, bypassing the bounds validation.

Fix this by reading hwc_msg_id exactly once using READ_ONCE() into a stack-local variable in mana_hwc_rx_event_handler(), and passing the validated value as a parameter to mana_hwc_handle_resp().

AnalysisAI

Kernel memory corruption in the Linux MANA (Microsoft Azure Network Adapter) driver lets a malicious or compromised hypervisor bypass a bounds check via a time-of-check/time-of-use double-fetch of hwc_msg_id from a shared DMA buffer. In a Confidential VM (SEV-SNP/TDX), DMA-coherent memory is unencrypted and host-visible, so the host can alter the message ID after mana_hwc_rx_event_handler() validates it but before mana_hwc_handle_resp() re-reads it for test_bit() and pointer arithmetic, driving an out-of-bounds access in guest kernel memory. No public exploit identified at time of analysis; EPSS is low (0.18%, 8th percentile) and it is not in CISA KEV.
