qrtr_endpoint_post() is only reachable via local injection paths—write()/io_submit to /dev/qrtr-tun or inbound SMD/MHI frames from the on-SoC modem/coprocessor; AF_QIPCRTR sendmsg never enters this function and QRTR is not an Internet-facing protocol.\nAC:L - The attacker fully controls the wire size field and total packet length; on 32-bit kernels, setting size>=0xfffffffd with len equal to the header length deterministically wraps ALIGN() to bypass validation without races or special victim state.\nPR:N - On Qualcomm deployments the primary path is QRTR_SMD/MHI, where the AP kernel accepts ipcrouter frames from the baseband without Linux credentials or QRTR authentication, so a malicious or compromised modem sender needs no AP privileges.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires delivering a single crafted QRTR packet to qrtr_endpoint_post(); no victim interaction such as mounting filesystems, opening files, or clicking prompts is needed.\nS:U - Impact is kernel heap corruption and denial of service on the application processor; it does not cross a VM/host boundary, IOMMU boundary, or other separate security authority.\nC:H - Bypassing validation causes skb_put_data() to memcpy() ~4GB from a hdrlen-sized input buffer, performing slab out-of-bounds reads of adjacent kernel heap memory that can disclose sensitive data.\nI:H - The same skb_put_data() call performs skb_put() with the wrapped size, writing far beyond the len-sized skb allocation and corrupting adjacent slab objects, enabling potential control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - The oversized skb_put_data() triggers skb_over_panic/kernel oops as documented in the fix commit, reliably crashing affected 32-bit kernels and causing denial of service."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["net/qrtr/af_qrtr.c"],"versions":[{"version":"960b08dd36de1e341e3eb43d1c547513e338f4f8","lessThan":"3665e644ea081c4624a1637023b0de3b29f4ae04","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad9d24c9429e2159d1e279dc3a83191ccb4daf1d","lessThan":"b609f7f46916c6b05585ca82455077198a23770f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad9d24c9429e2159d1e279dc3a83191ccb4daf1d","lessThan":"242408b5b763c01288adf3113cbce84378a76e1a","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad9d24c9429e2159d1e279dc3a83191ccb4daf1d","lessThan":"d0597074e99731fdad5593e4f6d056a3866f2cab","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad9d24c9429e2159d1e279dc3a83191ccb4daf1d","lessThan":"689b7267f8632b4661879dc323e26ebb60978afb","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad9d24c9429e2159d1e279dc3a83191ccb4daf1d","lessThan":"22100a8f73d4ae4f17697dae93d4e2e1d283a6ec","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad9d24c9429e2159d1e279dc3a83191ccb4daf1d","lessThan":"7f72c285f6d3bf63968a0344beee8ab1b370198b","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"ad9d24c9429e2159d1e279dc3a83191ccb4daf1d","lessThan":"20054869770c7df060c5ecee3e8bbf9029c47191","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"f8111c0d7ed42ede41a3d0d393b104de0730a8a6","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"26b8d10703a9be45d6097946b2b4011f7dd2c56f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"19892ab9c9d838e2e5a7744d36e4bb8b7c3292fe","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"5.10.46","lessThan":"5.10.261","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"4.19.196","lessThan":"4.20","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.4.128","lessThan":"5.5","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.12.13","lessThan":"5.13","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/qrtr/af_qrtr.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.13","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.13","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":"5.10.46","versionEndExcluding":"5.10.261"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.212"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.178"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.145"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.97"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.40"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.13","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"4.19.196"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.4.128"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.12.13"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3665e644ea081c4624a1637023b0de3b29f4ae04"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b609f7f46916c6b05585ca82455077198a23770f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/242408b5b763c01288adf3113cbce84378a76e1a"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d0597074e99731fdad5593e4f6d056a3866f2cab"},{"url":"https://
