the path is sock_ioctl() -> dev_ioctl() -> dev_siocdevprivate() -> qeth_siocdevprivate() with no remote packet or network protocol entry point.\nAC:L - Any local user who can open an AF_INET socket and name a qeth netdev can invoke these ioctls deterministically; no races, special memory layout, or rare kernel configuration is required beyond s390 hardware with qeth present.\nPR:L - The bug is missing CAP_NET_ADMIN in qeth_siocdevprivate(); generic SIOCDEVPRIVATE handling in dev_ioctl() performs no capability check, so any unprivileged local account on an IBM Z/LinuxONE LPAR can reach these handlers without root or namespace-granted admin rights.\nUI:N - Exploitation needs only the attacker opening a socket and issuing ioctl against a qeth interface; no victim login, mount, or other interactive action is required on a shared mainframe guest.\nS:U - Impact stays within kernel/driver control of the local OSA/QDIO adapter and does not cross a VM, container, or IOMMU security boundary; this is standard local privilege and hardware-management misuse, not a guest-to-host escape.\nC:H - SIOC_QETH_QUERY_OAT and SIOC_QETH_ADP_SET_SNMP_CONTROL copy OSA Express firmware response buffers (link attributes, adapter operational data, SNMP MIB objects, card-type details) to unprivileged userspace, disclosing network hardware management information normally restricted to administrators.\nI:H - SIOC_QETH_ADP_SET_SNMP_CONTROL accepts attacker-controlled qeth_snmp_cmd request/data and forwards IPA_SETADP_SET_SNMP_CONTROL commands to OSA firmware, letting unprivileged users alter adapter SNMP/management state on production IBM Z network interfaces.\nA:H - Handlers honor attacker-chosen buffer sizes (kzalloc(udata_len) in qeth_snmp_command and vzalloc(buffer_len) in qeth_query_oat_command without upper bounds), enabling repeated large allocations for kernel memory exhaustion/OOM, and malformed IPA commands can disrupt adapter operation."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"18787eeebd7129ecf4960876d24f349682207783","lessThan":"8fb69547924bbb3d7c900a0d7d137a7234db3f5f","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"18787eeebd7129ecf4960876d24f349682207783","lessThan":"3ea5210db058347481c93849786982f874f7be2d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"18787eeebd7129ecf4960876d24f349682207783","lessThan":"4e48168825818bf4a13c743582227d15f1d30d04","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"18787eeebd7129ecf4960876d24f349682207783","lessThan":"b40c74262f7e1e601221cebccdbdb2b392ff9976","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"18787eeebd7129ecf4960876d24f349682207783","lessThan":"bd63c7879eaa87f1958f7ee027813356fcd9ff11","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"18787eeebd7129ecf4960876d24f349682207783","lessThan":"93a0a846ec59a88e0c402878a15357a5ce430eb4","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"18787eeebd7129ecf4960876d24f349682207783","lessThan":"d211028bac1bd0fff0026bfa2a8328e5b78cd0e6","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/s390/net/qeth_core_main.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.15","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.15","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"5.15.216","lessThanOrEqual":"5.15.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.183","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.151","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.103","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.44","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.8","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":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"5.15.216"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.183"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.151"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.103"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.44"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.8"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.15","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/8fb69547924bbb3d7c900a0d7d137a7234db3f5f"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3ea5210db058347481c93849786982f874f7be2d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/4e48168825818bf4a13c743582227d15f1d30d04"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/b40c74262f7e1e601221cebccdbdb2b392ff9976"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/bd63c7879eaa87f1958f7ee027813356fcd9ff11"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/93a0a846ec59a88e0c402878a15357a5ce430eb4"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d211028bac1bd0fff0026bfa2a8328e5b78cd0e6"}],"title":"s390/qeth: Check CAP_NET_ADMIN for private ioctls","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
