DescriptionCVE.org

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

scsi: bsg: Cap io_uring sense copy to max_response_len

Completion copied scmd->sense_len to the user response buffer without honoring max_response_len. After a valid sense, the midlayer sets sense_len to the real length (up to SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE), so a smaller user buffer was overrun.

AnalysisAI

An out-of-bounds write in the Linux kernel's SCSI bsg io_uring completion path allows a local attacker with low privileges (CVSS PR:L) to overrun a user-supplied response buffer that is smaller than SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, because the completed sense length is copied back without being capped to the caller's max_response_len. The io_uring-backed bsg passthrough interface that exposes the flaw was introduced in kernel 7.1 and is fixed in 7.2.5 and 7.3-rc2, so exposure is limited to very recent kernels on hosts where a bsg device node is reachable; no public exploit identified at time of analysis. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires local access to a SCSI generic (bsg) device node and use of the io_uring-based bsg passthrough completion path (newly added in kernel 7.1). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The vendor CVSS of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) overstates real-world risk. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: Linux 7.2.5 (commit 5d326efc334ea21afd8161f6ca53e17de71948a9) and Linux 7.3-rc2 (commit ece06de726737e887dc0225c8283477624f8ae21), both available from the stable Git tree; upgrade to 7.2.5 or 7.3-rc2 (or later) or apply the referenced commit for any kernel backport carrying the 7.1 io_uring bsg passthrough feature. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all Linux hosts and identify any running kernel versions 7.1 or later, especially those with reachable bsg device nodes or io_uring passthrough enabled, and restrict /dev/bsg* permissions to root-only as an interim containment measure. …
