a malicious or compromised server can supply crafted directory-entry lengths that reach the kernel during getdents on HPC client nodes without local shell access.\nAC:L - An entry length near U32_MAX makes padlen truncate to a small __u32, reliably bypassing the bounds check and forcing the subsequent s[*len] probe; the attacker fully controls the trailer fields and no race, heap layout, or timing condition beyond readdir is required.\nPR:N - A remote malicious OrangeFS/PVFS metadata server needs no account, capabilities, or namespaces on victim HPC compute nodes; once clients mount the filesystem, any process with directory read access can trigger parsing of attacker-supplied trailer bytes.\nUI:N - No victim interaction is required beyond normal automated directory scans (cron, parallel job launchers, monitoring); the attacker does not need a user to mount the filesystem or click anything—only pre-existing cluster mounts to the compromised server.\nS:U - The out-of-bounds read and resulting kernel oops occur entirely within the victim client's kernel address space during VFS readdir processing; there is no inherent crossing of VM, container, IOMMU, or sandbox security boundaries.\nC:H - The integer truncation lets the kernel index gigabytes past the vzalloc readdir part buffer via s[*len], an unbounded out-of-bounds read over adjacent kernel memory before the fault; per CNA guidance OOB reads of this class are rated High.\nI:H - The bounds bypass is a memory-corruption class flaw that can reach beyond the allocated directory part into adjacent kernel heap; even though the immediate access is a read, CNA guidance rates such unchecked OOB probes as High integrity impact due to exploit chaining potential.\nA:H - The maintainer confirmed the out-of-bounds read oopses the kernel; the inflated index can touch unmapped pages far outside the PART_SIZE-limited trailer buffer, causing a kernel fault, panic, or node crash on HPC clients during routine readdir."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/orangefs/dir.c"],"versions":[{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"1679780f482feeb82acb5995587d4fb1d1fe82fd","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"a72bbb43689591c9d36e3bb45c2d4e688cf92682","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"36723b28e3293047f087f4501f1ef4ead418dd84","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"07c05601a9a8e5d4481b2a4a16dc0e3c5bc63ad9","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"fdf06a1b66ff39664b01c6bb6a2aa98d81e8ebe1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"82fc886e244c76fadf05ef1958aaf8815478ccde","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"e3d325c0bdb7bc5d1b4cc8d8441d79794cd03729","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"480e3e532e31666a18520a7964bb4095d7a16b9a","lessThan":"18227a6bc98bd0ba96ed3ce9d5b28776a5a28dfc","status":"affected","versionType":"git"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["fs/orangefs/dir.c"],"versions":[{"version":"4.12","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"4.12","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":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.261"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.212"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.178"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.145"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.97"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.40"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.12","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/1679780f482feeb82acb5995587d4fb1d1fe82fd"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a72bbb43689591c9d36e3bb45c2d4e688cf92682"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/36723b28e3293047f087f4501f1ef4ead418dd84"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/07c05601a9a8e5d4481b2a4a16dc0e3c5bc63ad9"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/fdf06a1b66ff39664b01c6bb6a2aa98d81e8ebe1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/82fc886e244c76fadf05ef1958aaf8815478ccde"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/e3d325c0bdb7bc5d1b4cc8d8441d79794cd03729"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/18227a6bc98bd0ba96ed3ce9d5b28776a5a28dfc"}],"title":"orangefs: keep the readdir entry size 64-bit in fill_from_part()","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
