there is no network-reachable path.\nAC:L - The defect is deterministic with no race — every reset or teardown of a virtio-pci device that negotiated VIRTIO_F_ADMIN_VQ indexes the wrong array, and a device supplying an arbitrary admin_queue_index controls the out-of-bounds offset exactly.\nPR:N - The out-of-bounds index originates from the device-supplied admin_queue_index MMIO field, and the faulty cleanup runs on the probe error paths (vp_find_one_vq_msix request_irq failure, vp_find_vqs_msix error_find, virtnet_probe free_vqs), so an untrusted virtio device triggers it during automatic driver binding with no guest/host credentials.\nUI:N - Device probe, hotplug, and reset happen automatically via the driver core; no victim action is needed.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds access and its consequences are confined to the kernel's own memory and security authority; no IOMMU, VM, or sandbox boundary is crossed.\nC:H - vp_dev->vqs[] is read past its kcalloc'd end by an unbounded, device-chosen 16-bit index, and the resulting pointer is dereferenced (info->vq, info->msix_vector) and handed to virtqueue_detach_unused_buf(), exposing adjacent and far-out-of-bounds kernel heap contents.\nI:H - The wild info pointer obtained from the out-of-bounds read is passed to list_del(&info->node) — which writes through two attacker-influenced pointers — and then to del_vq() and kfree(), yielding write and arbitrary-free primitives suitable for heap corruption and control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The commit documents a reproducible kernel NULL pointer dereference oops in vp_reset()/vp_modern_avq_cleanup() on ordinary driver removal, and the corrupted list_del/kfree paths panic the kernel as well."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c","drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.h","drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_modern.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4c3b54af907e709609d3d8beca92d65e2f0cfd83","lessThan":"018d3d4ad4be7fbc95d8a2367642a32d21df55c7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4c3b54af907e709609d3d8beca92d65e2f0cfd83","lessThan":"97ee04feb682c906a1fa973ebe586fe91567d165","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.c","drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_common.h","drivers/virtio/virtio_pci_modern.c"],"versions":[{"version":"6.11","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"6.11","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.11.9","lessThanOrEqual":"6.11.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12","lessThanOrEqual":"*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"original_commit_for_fix"}]}],"cpeApplicability":[{"nodes":[{"operator":"OR","negate":false,"cpeMatch":[{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.11.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.11","versionEndExcluding":"6.12"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/018d3d4ad4be7fbc95d8a2367642a32d21df55c7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/97ee04feb682c906a1fa973ebe586fe91567d165"}],"title":"virtio_pci: Fix admin vq cleanup by using correct info pointer","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}},"adp":[{"metrics":[{"cvssV3_1":{"scope":"UNCHANGED","version":"3.1","baseScore":5.5,"attackVector":"LOCAL","baseSeverity":"MEDIUM","vectorString":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","integrityImpact":"NONE","userInteraction":"NONE","attackComplexity":"LOW","availabilityImpact":"HIGH","privilegesRequired":"LOW","confidentialityImpact":"NONE"}},{"other":{"type":"ssvc","content":{"id":"CVE-2024-53092","role":"CISA Coordinator","options":[{"Exploitation":"none"},{"Automatable":"no"},{"Technical Impact":"partial"}],"version":"2.0.3","timestamp":"2025-10-01T20:11:27.448573Z"}}}],"problemTypes":[{"descriptions":[{"lang":"en","type":"CWE","cweId":"CWE-476","description":"CWE-476 NULL Pointer Dereference"}]}],"title":"CISA ADP Vulnrichment","providerMetadata":{"orgId":"134c704f-9b21-4f2e-91b3-4a467353bcc0","shortName":"CISA-ADP","dateUpdated":"2025-10-01T20:17:13.558Z"}}]}}
