In the affected scenario, the expected size of the user space buffer is derived from user-controlled data, specifically, fx_sw->xstate_size. By manipulating this value, an attacker could construct a malicious sigreturn frame where the indicated size is smaller than required by valid bits in fx_sw->xfeatures. Furthermore, the attacker could unmap portions of the fpu buffer in the user space, rendering them inaccessible to xrstor.\nThis manipulation leads to a situation where xrstor repeatedly attempts to restore and access an unmapped area, causing a fault.

First, successful exploitation requires a precise set of conditions, including the ability to manipulate the fx_sw->xstate_size parameter, which may not always be feasible. Additionally, the exploit's impact is limited to a specific subsystem (x86/fpu) within the Linux kernel, thereby reducing its overall scope and potential for widespread harm. Moreover, the loop resulting from the fault condition does not result in a system compromise or escalation of privileges but rather leads to a denial-of-service situation, which can be mitigated through a system reboot or other administrative actions.", "threat_severity": "Low"}
