A hypervisor-generated virt-machine table or supply-chain/evil-maid firmware with more than 16 unique packages triggers the write without any account or user-namespace privilege.\nUI:N - The out-of-bounds write runs as part of ordinary kernel_init_freeable() SMP setup before userspace starts; no victim mount, file open, or other interactive action is required.\nS:U - The write corrupts kernel BSS and related globals inside the same kernel that parsed PPTT. This is not a KVM guest-to-host escape, sandbox breakout, or IOMMU/DMA authority crossing.\nC:H - Firmware-controlled 32-bit topology IDs are written past acpi_package_ids[] into adjacent kernel BSS, and the later canonicalization loop also reads past the array. Per memory-corruption guidance that is High confidentiality, not a bounded few-byte leak.\nI:H - This is a direct out-of-bounds write of firmware-controlled ints past a 16-entry static array (up to hundreds of stores on large VMs). Out-of-bounds writes score High because they can smash adjacent BSS, including function pointers, and enable control-flow hijack.\nA:H - Smashing kernel BSS during SMP bring-up can oops, panic, or prevent boot. Canonicalized package IDs >= MAX_PACKAGES also index loongson3_cpufreq's cpufreq_mutex[MAX_PACKAGES] out of bounds, causing further crashes."}]}],"affected":[{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"unaffected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/loongarch/kernel/acpi.c"],"versions":[{"version":"f18992be262d6515c94bf4bf6ce7598135076771","lessThan":"0195e04b1eec8fb00e2db9c5e55655a3f5e76f60","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4427a33faabb4b81511b99dfee18ce0a38b5b5df","lessThan":"d3fd094c13c6d0b74f246461ca4cf427d539c8e8","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4e8f58620f6717f72f3d88a2c8f25c0c656d0ba7","lessThan":"6311b8c471afa33c18adbe4eb16f862936b71ca3","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"4e8f58620f6717f72f3d88a2c8f25c0c656d0ba7","lessThan":"2a2367d46d7a4ee4122b7a86e57125542dbbe963","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"496bc868d9066e034787aa14b8ad6c23e77b51ef","status":"affected","versionType":"git"},{"version":"6.12.101","lessThan":"6.12.110","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.42","lessThan":"6.18.51","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.1.6","lessThan":"7.2","status":"affected","versionType":"semver"}]},{"product":"Linux","vendor":"Linux","defaultStatus":"affected","repo":"https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git","programFiles":["arch/loongarch/kernel/acpi.c"],"versions":[{"version":"7.2","status":"affected"},{"version":"0","lessThan":"7.2","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.12.110","lessThanOrEqual":"6.12.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"6.18.51","lessThanOrEqual":"6.18.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.2.5","lessThanOrEqual":"7.2.*","status":"unaffected","versionType":"semver"},{"version":"7.3-rc1","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":"6.12.101","versionEndExcluding":"6.12.110"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"6.18.42","versionEndExcluding":"6.18.51"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.2.5"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.2","versionEndExcluding":"7.3-rc1"},{"vulnerable":true,"criteria":"cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","versionStartIncluding":"7.1.6"}]}]}],"references":[{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/0195e04b1eec8fb00e2db9c5e55655a3f5e76f60"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/d3fd094c13c6d0b74f246461ca4cf427d539c8e8"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6311b8c471afa33c18adbe4eb16f862936b71ca3"},{"url":"https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/2a2367d46d7a4ee4122b7a86e57125542dbbe963"}],"title":"LoongArch: Fix acpi_package_ids[] array overflow","x_generator":{"engine":"bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
