Local bsg+io_uring access (AV:L, PR:L); winning the TOCTOU race window requires a concurrent thread so AC:H; attacker-controlled heap overflow yields full C/I/A impact.

DescriptionCVE.org

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

scsi: bsg: Fix TOCTOU in io_uring passthrough command setup

scsi_bsg_uring_cmd() reads bsg_uring_cmd from the shared mmap'd SQE. Userspace can change a field after we check it and before we use it. request_len is the sharp case: it can grow past sizeof(scmd->cmnd) after the bound check and overflow scmd->cmnd in copy_from_user().

READ_ONCE() the SQE fields we check or use into locals before use.

AnalysisAI

Local privilege escalation in the Linux kernel's SCSI bsg io_uring passthrough path (bsg_uring_cmd) allows an authenticated low-privileged local user (PR:L) to corrupt kernel memory via an out-of-bounds write, potentially escalating privileges or crashing the host. The handler validates fields read directly out of the user-shared, mmap'd io_uring SQE, so a racing thread can enlarge request_len after the bound check but before copy_from_user(), overflowing the fixed-size scmd->cmnd buffer inside the kernel. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires local access to a SCSI bsg device node (/dev/bsg/*) exposed to the attacker and a kernel built with io_uring passthrough support (Linux 7.1 affected). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This is one of the more genuinely serious CVEs in the current Linux kernel batch, and the vendor CVSS of 7.8 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/C:H/I:H/A:H) is largely defensible rather than the routine over-scoring seen in sibling DoS-only bugs. … 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 patches are available: update to Linux 7.2.5 (stable) or 7.3-rc2 and later, which contain the READ_ONCE() hardening commits f033530105aa73d82c121d54b57f358e4865d2f4 and 4b3c5965fca99f62d31c963294bd5b23cc488e97 (https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f033530105aa73d82c121d54b57f358e4865d2f4 and https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4b3c5965fca99f62d31c963294bd5b23cc488e97); distributions that backported bsg io_uring passthrough must apply the equivalent downstream backport since their package version may not reflect upstream numbering. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify every Linux host running a kernel built with bsg io_uring passthrough support (EUVD places Linux 7.1 in the affected commit range) and confirm which of them actually expose a /dev/bsg device node and to whom; restrict /dev/bsg permissions to root or a tightly scoped trusted group and ensure only users with a genuine need for SCSI passthrough can open it. …
