- The vulnerable UMEM headroom value is supplied through local AF_XDP socket setup via socket(), setsockopt(SOL_XDP, XDP_UMEM_REG), and bind(); network packets may later exercise the bad layout, but they do not create it.\nAC:L - The attacker controls the UMEM chunk size/headroom and AF_XDP setup parameters, and no race or rare timing condition is required.\nPR:L - AF_XDP socket creation requires CAP_NET_RAW in the network namespace and related XDP/BPF setup uses namespace-capable networking privileges, which are reachable by a low-privileged local user through user namespaces in reasonable configurations.\nUI:N - No victim action is needed once the attacker can run the local setup and drive traffic through the socket.\nS:U - The impact remains within the kernel/networking security authority and does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or similar scope boundary.\nC:H - The invalid UMEM geometry can corrupt skb_shared_info/fragment metadata consumed by kernel XDP/AF_XDP paths; under the required overestimation rule, this kernel metadata corruption is treated as capable of enabling high-impact information disclosure.\nI:H - The bug permits attacker-controlled layout overlap with kernel-used XDP fragment metadata, creating a plausible memory-corruption primitive rather than a mere validation failure.\nA:H - Malformed AF_XDP receive geometry can leave insufficient space even for minimum frames and corrupt multi-buffer metadata, making kernel/network path crashes or severe disruption plausible."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/xdp/xdp_umem.c"],"versions":[{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"5f123bc278bf4e3283d8606321bebbfd299f4384","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"1a6051cd7e3e4c54ff3854a43b638b9292af5e67","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"8769708add9eadeea8041a9761771bb715a87104","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"a03975beb9f6af0d8ac051e30b2abeabe618414f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"0ec4d3f6e6934deb843b561ae048cd17218e5ad1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"9ea6ba4f3195dcba6e8b3e7b2e748593b7cafb12","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"6523bc1b40e69301f24c14338b762af4739d6d39","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"99e3a236dd43d06c65af0a2ef9cb44306aef6e02","lessThan":"a315e022a72d95ef5f1d4e58e903cb492b0ad931","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad8fb61c184fe0f8d1e0b5b954d010fb9f94a6ee","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"25c9cdef57488578da21d99eb614b97ffcf6e59f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"98d3c852e63b49129515dd18c875999efaf8530a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4.19.118","lessThan":"4.20","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.4.35","lessThan":"5.5","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.6.7","lessThan":"5.7","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/xdp/xdp_umem.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.7","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.7","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.258","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.209","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.175","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.136","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.83","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.24","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.19.14","lessThanOrEqual":"6.19.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.0","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":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.258"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.209"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.175"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.136"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.83"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.24"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"6.19.14"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.7","versionEndExcluding":"7.0"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.19.118"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.4.35"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.6.7"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5f123bc278bf4e3283d8606321bebbfd299f4384"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1a6051cd7e3e4c54ff3854a43b638b9292af5e67"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8769708add9eadeea8041a9761771bb715a87104"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a03975beb9f6af0d8ac051e30b2abeabe618414f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0ec4d3f6e6934deb843b561ae048cd17218e5ad1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/st
