DescriptionCVE.org

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

coresight: ultrasoc-smb: Fix OOB write in smb_sync_perf_buffer()

When the SMB sink is used as a perf AUX sink, smb_update_buffer() calls smb_sync_perf_buffer() to copy hardware trace data into the perf AUX ring buffer pages. It derives pg_idx = head >> PAGE_SHIFT from @head, which is handle->head, and indexes dst_pages[pg_idx]. The pg_idx %= nr_pages normalization is only applied after the first loop iteration.

This leaves the initial page index underived from the buffer size, which can result in an out-of-bounds write past dst_pages[] when head exceeds the AUX buffer size.

Normalize head modulo the AUX buffer size before deriving the page index and offset, mirroring tmc_etr_sync_perf_buffer().

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel's CoreSight ultrasoc-smb driver when used as a perf AUX sink allows a local attacker to elevate privileges. The vulnerability arises from improper page index normalization in smb_sync_perf_buffer(), leading to a heap buffer overflow. Although no active exploitation or public proof-of-concept is known, the weakness has been patched upstream and carries an EPSS score of 0.21%.
