Buffer Overflow

memory HIGH

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

How It Works

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions. This overwrites whatever data or code exists there, corrupting program state and potentially giving attackers control over execution flow.

Stack-based overflows are the most common variant. When a function allocates a fixed-size buffer on the stack and then copies user-controlled input without proper bounds checking, attackers can overflow past the buffer to overwrite the function's return address. When the function completes, instead of returning to legitimate code, execution jumps to attacker-specified memory containing malicious shellcode. Heap-based overflows work differently—they corrupt heap metadata like chunk size fields or free list pointers, leading to arbitrary memory writes when the allocator processes the corrupted structures.

Modern exploitation bypasses defensive mechanisms through techniques like Return-Oriented Programming (ROP), which chains together existing code snippets to avoid non-executable memory protections. Attackers may also use heap spraying to reliably position shellcode at predictable addresses, defeating address randomization.

Impact

  • Remote code execution — attacker gains ability to run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the vulnerable process
  • Privilege escalation — exploiting kernel or setuid program overflows to gain root/SYSTEM access
  • Denial of service — crashes and memory corruption that render systems unusable
  • Information disclosure — reading sensitive data from adjacent memory regions that should be inaccessible
  • Authentication bypass — overwriting security-critical variables like permission flags or user IDs

Real-World Examples

Fortinet FortiOS suffered a critical buffer overflow (CVE-2025-32756) that allowed unauthenticated remote attackers to execute code as root on firewalls and VPN gateways. Attackers actively exploited this to compromise enterprise network perimeters before patches were available.

The Slammer worm from 2003 exploited a stack overflow in Microsoft SQL Server, spreading to 75,000 hosts in ten minutes by sending a single malformed UDP packet that overwrote the return address with shellcode. No authentication was required.

OpenSSH historically contained a heap overflow in challenge-response authentication that allowed pre-authentication remote root compromise on Unix systems, demonstrating how memory corruption in privileged network services creates maximum impact scenarios.

Mitigation

  • Memory-safe languages — Rust, Go, and modern managed languages prevent buffer overflows by design through automatic bounds checking
  • Stack canaries — random values placed before return addresses that detect corruption before control transfer
  • Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) — randomizes memory locations making exploitation less reliable
  • Data Execution Prevention (DEP/NX) — marks memory regions as non-executable, preventing direct shellcode execution
  • Bounds checking — validate input sizes before copying, use safe functions like strncpy instead of strcpy
  • Fuzzing and static analysis — automated testing to discover overflows before deployment

Spoofed or injected ICMP echo replies can steer mport's mirror-latency selection toward an attacker-chosen mirror and, if the reply carries IP options, shift the parsed ICMP header past the hardcoded offset used by ping() in libmport/ping.c, causing an out-of-bounds read. The flaw affects MidnightBSD mport releases prior to 2.7.8 and is only reachable by an unauthenticated attacker on the same adjacent network segment who can place visible ICMP traffic on-path while an mport client is actively probing mirrors (assessed CVSS:3.1 AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/C:N/I:L/A:L; CVSS 4.0 base 2.3). Impact is low and confined to the transient probing window; no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has released version 2.7.8 as the fix.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: HID: roccat: bound device-supplied profile index kone_keep_values_up_to_date() and kone_profile_activated() use an 8-bit, device-supplied profile value as an index into the 5-element kone->profiles[] array without a range check. A malicious USB device claiming the Roccat Kone id can send a switch-profile event (or a startup_profile read at probe) with an out-of-range value and make the driver read out of bounds; the result is exposed via the actual_dpi sysfs attribute. Reject out-of-range indices in both paths. This was found with static analysis and confirmed with the KUnit test added in the following patch (KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds).

The array holds only OS_STRING_QW_SIGN_LEN / 2 (7) code units, so the conversion reads up to 7 units (14 bytes) past the end of qw_sign[] into the following members of struct gadget_info when the stored signature fills the array without a NUL terminator, exposing those bytes through the configfs attribute. The store path halves the count for its input bound but passes the full byte count as the utf8s_to_utf16s() output limit; use the destination code-unit count in both directions.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: usb: ljca: bound bank_num in ljca_enumerate_gpio() ljca_enumerate_gpio() reads desc->bank_num from the device and loops valid_pin[i] = get_unaligned_le32(...) for i < bank_num. valid_pin[] holds only LJCA_MAX_GPIO_NUM / 32 = 2 entries. Two checks run before the loop. The reply length must match struct_size(desc, bank_desc, bank_num). The product pins_per_bank * bank_num must not exceed LJCA_MAX_GPIO_NUM. Neither one bounds bank_num against the size of valid_pin[]. The reply is capped at LJCA_MAX_PAYLOAD_SIZE (60) bytes, so the struct_size check limits bank_num to 9. A device that reports bank_num 9 with pins_per_bank 7 still passes both checks. gpio_num is 63 and the reply is 56 bytes. The loop then writes nine u32 into the two entry array and overruns valid_pin[] on the stack. A broken or malicious LJCA device can therefore overflow the stack. Reject a bank_num that does not fit valid_pin[].

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/resctrl: Fix UAF from worker threads when domains are removed The mbm_handle_overflow() and cqm_handle_limbo() workers read event counters and may sleep while doing so. They are scheduled via delayed_work embedded in struct rdt_l3_mon_domain. Architecture allocates and frees these domains from CPU hotplug callbacks under cpus_write_lock(), and the workers acquire cpus_read_lock() to keep the domain alive across their access. A use-after-free can occur when a worker is blocked waiting for cpus_read_lock() while the hotplug core holds cpus_write_lock(): the architecture frees the rdt_l3_mon_domain that contains the worker's work_struct. When the worker unblocks, the container_of() it performs on the embedded work pointer dereferences freed memory. Drop cpus_read_lock() from the workers and instead drain pending and in-flight work synchronously before the architecture can free the domain. Since architecture offlines the domain under cpus_write_lock() after it has been unlinked from the RCU list and a grace period has elapsed, no new work can be scheduled. The cancel only needs to wait out existing work. Drop rdtgroup_mutex during CPU offline around cancel_delayed_work_sync() so that a worker waiting on the mutex can complete before re-pinning the work on a different CPU. When offlining a CPU the architecture may iterate over resources in any order. For example, the MBA control domain may be offlined before or after a corresponding L3 monitor domain. Ensure that resctrl fs cancels the workers no matter what order the architecture offlines the domains.

The directory buffer itself is still referenced. ext4_dir_llseek() invalidates the directory cookie so that ext4_readdir() rescans directory entries from the start of the block. The rescan checks only the lower bound of rec_len before advancing. A corrupted rec_len can therefore place the offset where the block has insufficient space for a complete directory entry. The rescan itself may dereference that truncated entry, or the main loop may pass it to __ext4_check_dir_entry(). The latter reads de->rec_len before validating the range. For example: block offset 0 4092 4096 |---- de1.rec_len = 4092 -----|----| de2.inode | de2.rec_len ^ OOB, reported as UAF de2 starts at offset 4092 in this 4 KiB block. Its four-byte inode fits in the block, but its rec_len starts at offset 4096 and crosses the boundary. The minimum safe length is inode-dependent. Encrypted and casefolded directory entries need eight additional hash bytes, while a valid metadata checksum tail is only 12 bytes. Cache the metadata checksum feature state and derive the minimum directory entry length from the on-disk format. Use it to bound both the rescan and the offset passed to the main loop. Report an offset in a truncated block tail and skip the remainder of the block, while continuing to accept an offset exactly at the block boundary.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: drm/panthor: Add vm_bind region with kbo range overlap check When a VM is created, caller has to specify the range of the address space carve-out set aside for mapping kernel BO's. That means vm_bind mappings of UM-exposed BO's should not intersect with that region, but at the moment we're not checking this. At first, I thought of giving these values to drm_gpuvm_init() through its reserve_{offset, range} arguments, but it turns out that is meant for VM address spans that are not managed through the usual drm_gpuvm split/merge circuit, so storing the end of the user VA range at VM creation time and doing a quick check in the vm_bind ioctl path was the simplest workaround. The new check also makes sure vm_bind range doesn't overflow the size of a 64-bit unsigned integer. That was already being done further down the call stack inside drm_gpuvm_sm_map -> drm_gpuvm_range_valid, but it's best to fail early in the driver before GPUVM functions are invoked so that we won't waste time allocating vm_bind context resources.

That stale state makes o2nm_this_node() return 255, blocks a later local=1 attempt with -EBUSY, and can feed 255 to heartbeat users that call o2nm_this_node() dynamically. Clearing cl_has_local is required when the local node is reset. But heartbeat threads can still be running at that point. They pin the local node config item at startup, yet o2hb_do_disk_heartbeat() and thread teardown re-read o2nm_this_node() for the local slot and for o2nm_undepend_this_node(). Once local=0 has cleared the live local-node state, those dynamic reads return O2NM_MAX_NODES, which is also the invalid node number 255. Store the local node number in the heartbeat region when the region starts. Use that stable node for heartbeat slot writes/checks, negotiation messages, and the final configfs undepend. Stop the heartbeat loop when the current local node no longer matches the stored node, and clear cl_has_local together with cl_local_node in the local=0 path so nodemanager state matches node removal.

What is copied is data the controller never sent, and it is then used to match incoming vendor events in msft_vendor_evt(). This is not an out-of-bounds access. An skb data allocation always has at least SKB_DATA_ALIGN(sizeof(struct skb_shared_info)) bytes past the payload, which is more than the 255 byte maximum, so the read stays inside the allocation and KASAN does not report it. It is still a read of bytes the host was never given, with the length fully controlled by the controller. Reject a response that is too short for the prefix it declares. Verified with an emulated controller over /dev/vhci on a KASAN kernel, with vhci made to advertise an MSFT opcode the way btintel, btqca, btmtk and btrtl do unconditionally.

No KASAN report is produced, as expected from the allocation slack described above.

A call with optlen < 4 therefore writes past the user buffer, violating the getsockopt(2) contract for all five supported optnames. Reject any call with optlen < sizeof(u32) up front. 'len' is int, so a plain size comparison would promote a negative optlen to size_t and slip past the check; an explicit 'len < 0' test is added first to catch negative values before the size compare.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: nvmet: fix max_qid race between configfs and controller allocation The function nvmet_subsys_attr_qid_max_store() can race against nvmet_alloc_ctrl() when a subsystem's max_qid limit is modified. Suppose max_qid is currently 64. If nvmet_alloc_ctrl() executes: ctrl->sqs = kzalloc_objs(struct nvmet_sq *, subsys->max_qid + 1); and at this exact point, a userspace process changes max_qid to 128, nvmet_subsys_attr_qid_max_store() will set the new max_qid value. It attempts to delete active controllers to force a reconnect, but the new controller won't be deleted because it hasn't been added to the subsys->ctrls list yet. nvmet_alloc_ctrl() then proceeds and adds the new controller to the subsys->ctrls list. Later, when nvmet_install_queue() is called, it will see max_qid set to 128, but the memory allocated for sqs is only sized for 64 entries. This results in a KASAN out-of-bounds warning and potential memory corruptions. Fix this by protecting the queue allocations and list insertion in nvmet_alloc_ctrl() with down_read(&nvmet_config_sem). Because nvmet_subsys_attr_qid_max_store() acquires down_write(&nvmet_config_sem) to modify the attribute, this safely prevents the configfs writer from modifying max_qid during controller creation. Copy the max_qid from the subsystem to the controller's structure during the allocation; ctrl->max_qid never changes as long as the controller remains in LIVE state, so this will prevent similar race conditions.

The accepted mlcn is then used unchanged in sbi->mft.lbo = mlcn << cluster_bits; In practice the resulting reads fail at the block layer (sb_bread() returns NULL via grow_buffers()'s check_mul_overflow() guard), so today this manifests as mount failing in odd places rather than as something more dangerous, but the validation step is still wrong and there is no reason for callers to rely on the block layer to catch a value that should never have been accepted in the first place. Use check_mul_overflow() to compute the two sector positions and fail the mount if either multiplication wraps; this preserves the existing semantics (mlcn * sct_per_clst >= sectors) instead of switching to division (mlcn >= sectors / sct_per_clst), which would tighten the check at edge cases where 'sectors' is not a multiple of sct_per_clst.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: null_blk: serialize configfs attribute stores with the lock The NULLB_DEVICE_ATTR _store takes no lock: apply_fn attributes (submit_queues, poll_queues) get dev->NAME written again after apply_fn returns, outside its lock; APPLY=NULL attributes are entirely lockless. configfs only serializes stores per-open-file, so concurrent stores on separate fds race. For apply_fn attributes, once one store's apply_fn has reconfigured the hardware, a second (losing) store can still overwrite dev->NAME afterwards. This leaves dev->submit_queues out of sync with the live queue count, which is later caught by the WARN_ON_ONCE() in null_map_queues(). For !apply_fn attributes, power_store()'s null_add_dev() validates and builds the device under "lock" but only sets CONFIGURED afterwards. A store slipping in during this window can change a field mid-setup -- for example, zone_nr_conv can be pushed above nr_zones after it has already been clamped, leading to an out-of-bounds dev->zones[] access. Take "lock" in the macro around the apply_fn call, the CONFIGURED test and the field write, and move it out of nullb_apply_submit_queues()/ nullb_apply_poll_queues() so both paths are covered once. This serializes stores with power_store's setup and with each other.

Those fields are read before the buffer is verified to be large enough to contain the struct they belong to, so a short response makes the read land past the end of the allocation. handle_response() sizes entry->response purely from the netlink attribute length (nla_len()) and only guards the leading handle read, so the daemon can install a response as small as the kmalloc-8 object seen below. When ipc_msg_send_request() then calls ipc_validate_msg() for a KSMBD_EVENT_RPC_REQUEST, the cast to struct ksmbd_rpc_command reads resp->payload_sz at offset 8 of an 8-byte allocation: [ 3697.841381] ================================================================== [ 3697.844099] BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in ipc_msg_send_request+0x763/0x800 [ 3697.846604] Read of size 4 at addr ffff888105f95910 by task kworker/4:3/20682 [ 3697.849061] [ 3697.849801] CPU: 4 UID: 0 PID: 20682 Comm: kworker/4:3 Not tainted 7.2.0-rc3-next-20260717-virtme #117 PREEMPT(lazy) [ 3697.850077] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.17.0-debian-1.17.0-1 04/01/2014 [ 3697.850303] Workqueue: ksmbd-io handle_ksmbd_work [ 3697.850592] Call Trace: [ 3697.850794] <TASK> [ 3697.850952] __dump_stack+0x21/0x60 [ 3697.851239] dump_stack_lvl+0xc2/0x100 [ 3697.851528] print_address_description+0x77/0x200 [ 3697.851816] ? ipc_msg_send_request+0x763/0x800 [ 3697.852024] print_report+0x58/0x70 [ 3697.852316] kasan_report+0x117/0x150 [ 3697.852585] ? down_write+0x146/0x1f0 [ 3697.852809] ? ipc_msg_send_request+0x763/0x800 [ 3697.853082] ipc_msg_send_request+0x763/0x800 [ 3697.853385] ? __pfx_ipc_msg_send_request+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.853604] ? kasan_unpoison+0x48/0x70 [ 3697.853936] ? __pfx___up_read+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.854221] ksmbd_rpc_ioctl+0x380/0x520 [ 3697.854542] ? __pfx_ksmbd_rpc_ioctl+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.854757] ? kasan_unpoison+0x48/0x70 [ 3697.854962] ? copy_from_kernel_nofault+0x32c/0x4e0 [ 3697.855166] ? kasan_unpoison+0x48/0x70 [ 3697.855416] fsctl_pipe_transceive+0x139/0x7a0 [ 3697.855705] ? __pfx_copy_from_kernel_nofault+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.855937] ? __pfx_fsctl_pipe_transceive+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.856388] ? __sanitizer_cov_trace_switch+0x7b/0x140 [ 3697.856620] smb2_ioctl+0x1141/0x3420 [ 3697.856994] ? __pfx_smb2_ioctl+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.857182] ? get_smb2_cmd_val+0xe3/0x1c0 [ 3697.857655] handle_ksmbd_work+0x9ad/0x15e0 [ 3697.858034] ? __pfx_handle_ksmbd_work+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.858251] ? lock_release+0xf7/0x360 [ 3697.858466] ? process_scheduled_works+0x954/0x1600 [ 3697.858698] ? process_scheduled_works+0x954/0x1600 [ 3697.858905] process_scheduled_works+0xc22/0x1600 [ 3697.859368] ? __pfx_process_scheduled_works+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.859637] ? __pfx_assign_work+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.859896] ? lock_is_held_type+0x7b/0x110 [ 3697.860146] worker_thread+0x975/0xee0 [ 3697.860524] ? __pfx_do_raw_spin_lock+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.860830] ? __kthread_parkme+0x21e/0x260 [ 3697.861105] kthread+0x3a6/0x490 [ 3697.861423] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.861643] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.861878] ret_from_fork+0x55a/0xa20 [ 3697.862194] ? __pfx_ret_from_fork+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.862480] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [ 3697.862714] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 [ 3697.862965] </TASK> [ 3697.863039] [ 3697.938882] Allocated by task 20761: [ 3697.940257] kasan_save_track+0x3e/0x80 [ 3697.941782] __kasan_kmalloc+0x72/0x90 [ 3697.943228] __kvmalloc_node_noprof+0x3e9/0x6a0 [ 3697.944948] handle_generic_event+0x59b/0x750 [ 3697.946592] genl_family_rcv_msg_doit+0x3d6/0x560 [ 3697.946977] genl_rcv_msg+0x67c/0x900 [ 3697.947224] netlink_rcv_skb+0x286/0x580 [ 3697.947488] genl_rcv+0x2d/0x80 [ 3 ---truncated---

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: Bluetooth: btmtksdio: Fix out-of-bounds DMA read in the TX path btmtksdio_tx_packet() rounds the transfer size up to the SDIO block size of 256 bytes, but hands the host controller the SKB buffer as is: err = sdio_writesb(bdev->func, MTK_REG_CTDR, skb->data, round_up(skb->len, MTK_SDIO_BLOCK_SIZE)); Only skb->len bytes hold packet data, so the controller reads up to 255 bytes of uninitialised memory and sends it to the device over the SDIO bus. Depending on how much tailroom slack the SKB allocation happens to carry, that read can also extend past the end of the buffer. Compute the padded length up front, ensure the SKB has tailroom for it, and zero-fill the padding with skb_put_zero(). skb->len then covers the padding, so sdio_writesb() no longer needs to round up. byte_tx keeps counting the header and the payload only, and the error path restores the SKB so that the caller can requeue it. Writing behind skb->tail is only safe because the driver owns the buffer, which "Bluetooth: btmtksdio: Take exclusive ownership of the SKB before TX" ensures.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: net/sched: fq: add overflow bounds to quantum and initial quantum fq_init() computes quantum = 2 * psched_mtu() and initial_quantum = 10 * psched_mtu() with no overflow check. A device with a huge MTU (e.g. dummy with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634) makes psched_mtu() return 0x80000000; the 2 * and 10 * multiplications wrap to 0 in 32-bit arithmetic, so q->quantum == 0. Then in fq_dequeue() the credit-refill loop adds 0 to f->credit (which stays <= 0) and goto begin loops forever under the qdisc lock, creating a soft lockup. Clamp psched_mtu() to [1, 1 << 20] before multiplying so the product cannot wrap, then cap the result at 1 << 20, matching the bound already enforced on TCA_FQ_QUANTUM in fq_change(). Conditions to recreate the bug: a device whose MTU (plus hard_header_len) is large enough that 2 * psched_mtu() wraps (e.g. a dummy device with max_mtu == 0 accepting MTU 2147483634).

Without this, bare "tc qdisc add ... hhf" succeeds with a clamped quantum but "tc qdisc add ... hhf limit 1000" (any option present) fails with -EINVAL because hhf_change() re-validates the unclamped default (sch_hhf.c:559). 256 matches fq_codel's floor and is a sane minimum for a DRR quantum.

Clamp the quantum to [256, 1 << 20] so the refill loop terminates.

At the same time, GSO_MAX_SIZE = 8 * GSO_MAX_SEGS = 8 * 65535. When the user crafts a packet with gso_size < 8, there is a risk for partial GSO to overflow the 16-bit gso_segs field when dividing the SKB length by gso_size. Adjust gso_size of TCP packets to be at least TCP_MIN_GSO_SIZE = 8. Keep gso_size of UDP GSO packets, as gso_size=1 is valid and explicitly tested at tools/testing/selftests/net/tun.c:649.

Heap buffer overflow in the FAT-filesystem parsing code paths identified as _init_fats and fat_table_read - most likely the libparted FAT module used by GNU Parted and its fatresize component - allows memory corruption when a malformed FAT volume is parsed. The issue is local in scope (AV:L) and requires user interaction (UI:R): a victim must open a crafted disk/partition image or insert a removable device whose FAT table has been manipulated, and a parsing path (resize, inspection, or a mount helper such as udisks auto-mount handling) must actually read that volume. The assessed vector CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates unauthenticated local attackers can achieve high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact if the bug is reliably triggered, though whether the overflow yields code execution rather than a crash is unproven and impact is amplified only if the parser runs with elevated privileges. No CISA KEV entry and no public exploit code have been identified - no public exploit identified at time of analysis - and no EPSS score was supplied; the exact affected package, version range, and default-configuration reachability remain unconfirmed from the available data.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: s390/vfio-ap: Fix missing lock required to access list of ap_matrix_mdev objects In order to traverse or add/remove ap_matrix_mdev objects in the matrix_dev->mdev_list, the matrix_dev->guests_lock mutex must be held. There are two functions that access the list without holding the mutex: vfio_ap_mdev_probe function ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The vfio_ap_mdev_probe function uses the matrix_dev->mdevs_lock mutex to guard the add of a newly created ap_matrix_mdev object to the matrix_dev->mdev_list. This mutex does not protect list access; its purpose is to guard against concurrent access to fields contained in an ap_matrix_mdev object. This could lead to kernel memory corruption or use-after-free if another mdev is created or removed concurrently. The adding of an ap_matrix_mdev object to matrix_dev->mdev_list is now guarded by the matrix_dev->guests_lock which is the correct way to protect against concurrent mdev_list access. Also removed the following two lines of code because the matrix_mdev is allocated via vfio_alloc_device macro which uses kzalloc, so req_trigger and cfg_chg_trigger are already zero-initialised when the struct is allocated before the call to vfio_register_emulated_iommu_dev. This prevents a window whereby these triggers are set to NULL after the device is exposed to userspace. matrix_mdev->req_trigger = NULL; matrix_mdev->cfg_chg_trigger = NULL; vfio_ap_mdev_for_queue function ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The status_show function that supports display of the status attribute of the devices in /sys/bus/ap/devices calls the vfio_ap_mdev_for_queue function which iterates the matrix_dev->mdev_list to find the object representing the queue device whose status is to be displayed. In order to traverse this list, the matrix_dev->guests_lock mutex must be held. To fix this, the guests_lock mutex is taken prior to taking the matrix_dev->mdevs_lock mutex in the status_show function. It is taken there rather than the vfio_ap_mdev_for_queue function - where it is needed - because it must be taken prior to the mdevs_lock mutex in order to adhere to the proper locking order and prevent a lockdep splat; also because the mdevs_lock is needed there to access fields within the matrix_mdev object in that function.

Even though these in-memory curseg types are not saved in the on-disk checkpoint header, they still occupy active physical segments at runtime. If an active in-memory curseg happens to be allocated within the segment range being truncated during filesystem shrink, failing to evacuate it will cause subsequent writes to the curseg attempting out-of-bounds I/O on the truncated storage range.

No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and exploitation is not on-demand against an arbitrary target: the victim application must be induced to connect to an untrusted, attacker-controlled, or compromised server (reflected as AT:P in the CVSS 4.0 vector), which keeps real-world risk at a low-to-moderate level despite the presence of RCE and Information Disclosure tags in some feeds.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: ipv6: avoid divide by zero in rt6_multipath_rebalance rt6_multipath_rebalance() calculates the total eligible nexthop weight in one pass and programs upper bounds in a second pass. Since RTM_NEWROUTE is RTNL-free, a concurrent ignore_routes_with_linkdown update can make the first pass return zero while the second sees an eligible nexthop, causing rt6_upper_bound_set() to divide by zero.

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: fs/ntfs3: fix out-of-bounds read of INDEX_ROOT in reparse/objid init ntfs_reparse_init() and ntfs_objid_init() parse the index root of the $Extend/$Reparse and $Extend/$ObjId metafiles (the INDEX_ROOT attributes named $R and $O). They read its type and rule fields through resident_data(), which does not check that the resident attribute is large enough to hold them. mi_enum_attr() accepts a resident attribute with data_off == asize and data_size == 0. For such an attribute placed last in its MFT record, resident_data() returns a pointer to the end of the record_size buffer, so reading root->type / root->rule reads past the allocation. Use resident_data_ex(attr, sizeof(struct INDEX_ROOT)) and bail out when it returns NULL, as ntfs_security_init() already does for $SDH / $SII.

CVSS 3.1: AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H → 6.4. Note PR:H which is odd for a local privilege escalation "with no additional execution privileges needed" — the description says no additional execution privileges needed. Hmm, the CVSS says PR:H. There's a conflict: description says local EoP with no additional execution privileges needed (implying PR:N or PR:L?), while CVSS vector says PR:H. This is a data conflict worth noting in confidence_notes and risk_assessment. Actually Android's kernel CVEs for local EoP typically are AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N in their bulletins... Actually Android uses PR:H sometimes? Hmm. Let me note the conflict: description claims "no additional execution privileges needed" but vector shows PR:H (high privileges required), which typically means the attacker already needs elevated privileges — contradictory for an EoP. State explicitly. Product name: "Android Kernel" — 2 words. Or "TIPC Virtio Driver". Primary product per CPE: google:android. I'd say "Android Kernel". Tags: Privilege Escalation, Buffer Overflow, Google, Race Condition. Buffer Overflow mislabeled? The CWE is race condition/memory corruption. Hmm — "Buffer Overflow" tag is arguably a mislabeled tag since CWE-362 race condition and description says memory corruption not buffer overflow. But memory corruption could involve buffer overflow. I'd be moderately confident... The instructions say only emit flag when clearly wrong and verifiable. Memory corruption due to race condition — buffer overflow is a specific subclass. It's arguably mislabeling. I could flag it with low/medium confidence. Hmm. I think I'll flag it as mislabeled_tag with medium confidence since the CVE is a race condition leading to memory corruption, no buffer overflow specified.

A buffer overflow in a PASE (Portable Application Solutions Environment) process on IBM i 7.3, 7.4, 7.5, and 7.6 allows an authenticated local user to crash the affected process. Per IBM's own description, the impact is limited: the attacker can terminate their own process rather than disrupt other users or system-wide services, which is reflected in the low CVSS 3.3 and Availability-only impact. There is no public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing at time of analysis, and the flaw is classified as CWE-125 (out-of-bounds read).

An out-of-bounds write in Apple's operating system memory handling lets a process already confined to the platform sandbox break out of those restrictions, gaining partial read and write access to data it should not reach. Affected platforms are iOS and iPadOS before 26.7/27, macOS Sequoia before 15.8, macOS Tahoe before 26.7, macOS Golden Gate before 27, visionOS before 27 and watchOS before 27. Apple has released fixes for every affected platform, and CISA's SSVC assessment records no exploitation, no automation and only partial technical impact.

Mounting a crafted disk image on unpatched macOS releases triggers an out-of-bounds write in the code that parses disk image content, causing unexpected system termination (crash) on macOS Sequoia, Sonoma and Tahoe. The flaw is rated CVSS 6.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) - a user-interaction-dependent denial-of-service with no confidentiality or integrity impact, and CISA's SSVC assessment marks exploitation as 'none' and automatable as 'no'. EPSS is 0.19% (9th percentile), no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing was identified at time of analysis, and Apple has shipped fixed builds in macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, macOS Sonoma 14.8.8 and macOS Tahoe 26.6.

An out-of-bounds read in Apple's font parsing code lets a maliciously crafted font file leak process memory on unpatched builds of iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS and watchOS, with all affected platforms fixed in the version 27 releases. Triggering it requires the victim to render attacker-supplied content containing the crafted font — an email, document, web page or message preview — but no credentials or elevated privileges are needed once that interaction happens, and the resulting confidentiality impact is rated high with no integrity or availability effect. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified, and EPSS sits at a low 0.20% (10th percentile), so this is best handled as a scheduled platform update rather than an emergency response.

An out-of-bounds read in the font-parsing path of Apple's operating systems lets a remote attacker disclose the contents of process memory when a victim processes a maliciously crafted font. All Apple platforms are affected prior to the version 27 releases — iOS and iPadOS, macOS Golden Gate, tvOS, visionOS and watchOS — and Apple has shipped fixes for each. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code identified, and the EPSS score of 0.17% (7th percentile) indicates a low probability of near-term exploitation; because the sole impact is memory disclosure and exploitation requires the victim to open or render attacker-supplied content, this is a moderate-priority patch rather than an emergency.

An integer-overflow flaw (CWE-190) in Apple macOS lets an attacker who already occupies a privileged on-path network position crash or otherwise deny service to the affected system. The vulnerability is fixed in macOS Golden Gate 27, macOS Tahoe 26.7 and macOS Sequoia 15.8, so every earlier build of those three branches is exposed. There is no CISA KEV listing and no identified public exploit code, and EPSS places exploitation likelihood at roughly 0.17% (6th percentile), making this a routine patch-cycle item rather than an emergency for most fleets.

An out-of-bounds write in Apple's image handling code lets a maliciously crafted image crash the parsing process on affected iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, Vision Pro and Apple Watches. Apple fixed the flaw through improved bounds checking in iOS/iPadOS 26.7 and 27, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7, macOS Golden Gate 27, tvOS 27, visionOS 27 and watchOS 27. Exploitation requires the victim to open or preview the crafted image (UI:R), the observed impact is process termination only — no code execution, data theft or tampering is described — and there is currently no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing; EPSS is a low 0.17% (7th percentile).

A buffer overflow in multiple Apple operating systems — iOS 18.7.10, iPadOS 18.7.10, iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS Golden Gate 27, macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, and macOS Sonoma 14.8.8 and earlier — allows a locally executing app to crash the affected system or process, producing a denial of service. The flaw stems from insufficient bounds checking (CWE-120) and is rated CVSS 5.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, availability-only impact), meaning an attacker must already have the ability to run code as a low-privileged app on the device. Apple has released patches and there is no CISA KEV listing, no public exploit code identified, and EPSS is low at 0.21% (12th percentile), so real-world exploitation pressure is currently minimal.

An out-of-bounds write in Apple's operating system kernel (CWE-787) allows a locally installed app to corrupt kernel memory or force an unexpected system termination, affecting iOS/iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. Apple fixed the flaw with improved bounds checking in iOS 26.7 and 27, iPadOS 26.7 and 27, macOS Sequoia 15.8, macOS Tahoe 26.7, macOS Golden Gate 27, tvOS 27, visionOS 27, and watchOS 27. Exploitation requires a local app (CVSS PR:L) with no user interaction, so real-world risk is currently low - EPSS is only 0.21% (11th percentile), the issue is not listed in CISA KEV, and no public exploit code has been identified.
