ptp_ocp is a PCI PTP timecard driver with no network, Bluetooth, or physical-device input path to ptp_ocp_devlink_info_get().\nAC:L - On a system with a probed OCP timecard, issuing devlink info deterministically calls ptp_ocp_devlink_info_get() and passes the 13-byte EEPROM board_id that is not guaranteed to be NUL-terminated, so the over-read is reliably triggered without races or attacker-uncontrollable layout.\nPR:L - DEVLINK_CMD_INFO_GET is registered with only GENL_CMD_CAP_DO/GENL_CMD_CAP_DUMP and no GENL_ADMIN_PERM, and devlink_nl_pre_doit() adds no capability check, so any unprivileged local user with generic netlink access can invoke the vulnerable handler.\nUI:N - Exploitation requires only the attacker issuing a devlink info netlink request; no administrator or other user action is needed beyond the attacker having local access to the host.\nS:U - Kernel memory disclosure and any resulting crash are confined to the same host kernel; the bug does not cross VM, IOMMU, or sandbox security boundaries.\nC:H - Passing the non-NUL-terminated board_id to devlink_info_version_fixed_put() makes devlink_info_version_put() and nla_put_string() use strlen(), reading past the 13-byte field through adjacent ptp_ocp/devlink private memory and returning leaked bytes in the netlink reply to the caller.\nI:N - The defect is purely an out-of-bounds kernel read with no write, heap corruption, or control-flow hijack primitive; only kernel memory is scanned and copied into the netlink response.\nA:H - strlen() on the unterminated board_id can walk through subsequent kmalloc-backed struct fields and potentially past the devlink private allocation, touching unmapped pages and oopsing/panicking the kernel; an unprivileged user can repeat the devlink info query to retrigger it."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["drivers/ptp/ptp_ocp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"0cfcdd1ebcfe1a9b262f6ad8419580720dc843c4","lessThan":"72ef3ce80078199bfad32f98d055f44ba7cd0c3d","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0cfcdd1ebcfe1a9b262f6ad8419580720dc843c4","lessThan":"3d965811be78473654e6e8cc8e4fb7b6b87aa6c1","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0cfcdd1ebcfe1a9b262f6ad8419580720dc843c4","lessThan":"f92558bbe78d6284fedd053900f82a70f0aa8707","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0cfcdd1ebcfe1a9b262f6ad8419580720dc843c4","lessThan":"5fd91dd4a143479b0575fb1f202ec1c501e71fd5","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0cfcdd1ebcfe1a9b262f6ad8419580720dc843c4","lessThan":"f8d7e5751267637190eff887c971d5b468106213","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"0cfcdd1ebcfe1a9b262f6ad8419580720dc843c4","lessThan":"6b69f2ef10cdb018c0b127a7cab88e590bbddba4","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/ptp/ptp_ocp.c"],"versions":[{"version":"5.18","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"5.18","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.1.183","lessThanOrEqual":"6.1.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.6.152","lessThanOrEqual":"6.6.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.104","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.45","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.9","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":"5.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.1.183"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.6.152"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.104"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.18","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.45"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.1.9"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"5.18","versionEndExcluding":"7.2"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/72ef3ce80078199bfad32f98d055f44ba7cd0c3d"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3d965811be78473654e6e8cc8e4fb7b6b87aa6c1"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f92558bbe78d6284fedd053900f82a70f0aa8707"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/5fd91dd4a143479b0575fb1f202ec1c501e71fd5"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/f8d7e5751267637190eff887c971d5b468106213"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6b69f2ef10cdb018c0b127a7cab88e590bbddba4"}],"title":"ptp: ocp: Fix board ID over-read","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
