The bug is reached only through local kernel interfaces (spu_create, mmap of spufs \"mem\", then /proc/self/mem or ptrace/GDB via access_remote_vm); there is no network, adjacent-radio, or physical-device attack path.\nAC:L - An attacker who can map spufs local store fully controls the VMA address and transfer length; the broken bounds check fails deterministically on 64-bit, so no races or victim-specific layout are required.\nPR:L - On Cell systems with spufs mounted, spu_create and the world-readable/writable mem node (0666) require only a local unprivileged account with write access to the spufs mount, not real init-namespace root or non-namespace capabilities.\nUI:N - Exploitation is self-contained: the attacker creates/maps their own SPU context and triggers the flaw through /proc/self/mem or debugging APIs without any separate victim action.\nS:U - Impact is kernel memory corruption and disclosure within the host kernel from a local user context; it does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU security boundary to another authority.\nC:H - memcpy_fromio with an unclamped length reads well past the 256KB LS_SIZE buffer (vmalloc heap after lscsa or beyond the ioremap), enabling substantial out-of-bounds kernel memory disclosure.\nI:H - memcpy_toio with the same faulty bounds allows out-of-bounds writes past the local-store mapping, corrupting adjacent kernel memory and supporting further privilege escalation or code execution.\nA:H - Out-of-bounds MMIO/vmalloc access can provoke immediate kernel faults/oops/panics, and heap corruption from oversized writes can crash or hang the system during exploitation."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c"],"versions":[{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"aa7aa8ba40c089762d821e3987aaae19e1f5705c","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"d479a7711f8ff127946467b910d947bd971b94ed","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"9d3569bfdceda69d5ffd5148901e57b69954d9ef","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"d97a8f3668949a8a9d1f6202f8c53446f2d89aa7","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"913feef74354c653f10ecd4631df7618a95c49c2","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"3c1e92f75e11a11492b8cb901fceeb9f16ae6415","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"4efa313b15925bdd864784865d6585174979294b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"a352894d07059649398c4769dc8b645e1a1dad88","lessThan":"47b87f469a35b5ffc81c16eee6b13a9b6c8d55c6","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spufs/file.c"],"versions":[{"version":"2.6.27","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"2.6.27","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.10.261","lessThanOrEqual":"5.10.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.212","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.178","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.145","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.97","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.40","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2","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":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.261"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.212"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.178"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.145"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.97"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.40"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"2.6.27","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/aa7aa8ba40c089762d821e3987aaae19e1f5705c"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d479a7711f8ff127946467b910d947bd971b94ed"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/9d3569bfdceda69d5ffd5148901e57b69954d9ef"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d97a8f3668949a8a9d1f6202f8c53446f2d89aa7"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/913feef74354c653f10ecd4631df7618a95c49c2"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3c1e92f75e11a11492b8cb901fceeb9f16ae6415"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4efa313b15925bdd864784865d6585174979294b"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/47b87f469a35b5ffc81c16eee6b13a9b6c8d55c6"}],"title":"powerpc/spufs: fix out-of-bounds access in spufs_mem_mmap_access()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
