Puede reproducirse siguiendo estos pasos (m\u00e1s detalles [1]): 1. Obtenga m\u00e1s de 32 entradas que tengan hashes similares, que terminen con el patr\u00f3n '0xxxxxxxe6'. 2. Reinicie y agregue las claves obtenidas en el paso 1. El reproductor demuestra c\u00f3mo sucedi\u00f3 este problema: 1. En la funci\u00f3n search_nested_keyrings, cuando itera a trav\u00e9s de las ranuras en un nodo (debajo de la etiqueta ascend_to_node), si el puntero de la ranura es meta y node->back_pointer != NULL (significa una ra\u00edz), proceder\u00e1 a descend_to_node. Sin embargo, hay una excepci\u00f3n. Si el nodo es la ra\u00edz y una de las ranuras apunta a un acceso directo, se tratar\u00e1 como un llavero. 2. Si el ptr es un llavero lo decide la funci\u00f3n keyring_ptr_is_keyring. Sin embargo, KEYRING_PTR_SUBTYPE es 0x2UL, lo mismo que ASSOC_ARRAY_PTR_SUBTYPE_MASK. 3. Cuando se agregan 32 claves con hashes similares al \u00e1rbol, la RA\u00cdZ tiene claves con hashes que no son similares (por ejemplo, la ranura 0) y divide el NODO A sin usar un acceso directo. Cuando el NODO A se llena con claves en las que todos los hashes son xxe6, las claves son similares, el NODO A se dividir\u00e1 con un acceso directo. Finalmente, forma el \u00e1rbol como se muestra a continuaci\u00f3n, donde la ranura 6 apunta a un acceso directo. NODO A +------>+---+ RA\u00cdZ | | 0 | xxe6 +---+ | +---+ xxxx | 0 | acceso directo : : xxe6 +---+ | +---+ xxe6 : : | | | xxe6 +---+ | +---+ | 6 |---+ : : xxe6 +---+ +---+ xxe6 : : | f | xxe6 +---+ +---+ xxe6 | f | +---+ 4. Como se mencion\u00f3 anteriormente, si una ranura (ranura 6) de la ra\u00edz apunta a un acceso directo, puede transferirse por error a una clave*, lo que lleva a una lectura fuera de los l\u00edmites. Para solucionar este problema, uno debe saltar a descend_to_node si el ptr es un acceso directo, independientemente de si el nodo es ra\u00edz o no.

Obtain more than 32 inputs that have similar hashes, which ends with the\npattern '0xxxxxxxe6'.\n2. Reboot and add the keys obtained in step 1.\nThe reproducer demonstrates how this issue happened:\n1. In the search_nested_keyrings function, when it iterates through the\nslots in a node(below tag ascend_to_node), if the slot pointer is meta\nand node->back_pointer != NULL(it means a root), it will proceed to\ndescend_to_node. However, there is an exception. If node is the root,\nand one of the slots points to a shortcut, it will be treated as a\nkeyring.\n2. Whether the ptr is keyring decided by keyring_ptr_is_keyring function.\nHowever, KEYRING_PTR_SUBTYPE is 0x2UL, the same as\nASSOC_ARRAY_PTR_SUBTYPE_MASK.\n3. When 32 keys with the similar hashes are added to the tree, the ROOT\nhas keys with hashes that are not similar (e.g. slot 0) and it splits\nNODE A without using a shortcut. When NODE A is filled with keys that\nall hashes are xxe6, the keys are similar, NODE A will split with a\nshortcut. Finally, it forms the tree as shown below, where slot 6 points\nto a shortcut.\nNODE A\n+------>+---+\nROOT | | 0 | xxe6\n+---+ | +---+\nxxxx | 0 | shortcut : : xxe6\n+---+ | +---+\nxxe6 : : | | | xxe6\n+---+ | +---+\n| 6 |---+ : : xxe6\n+---+ +---+\nxxe6 : : | f | xxe6\n+---+ +---+\nxxe6 | f |\n+---+\n4. As mentioned above, If a slot(slot 6) of the root points to a shortcut,\nit may be mistakenly transferred to a key*, leading to a read\nout-of-bounds read.\nTo fix this issue, one should jump to descend_to_node if the ptr is a\nshortcut, regardless of whether the node is root or not.\n[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-kernel/1cfa878e-8c7b-4570-8606-21daf5e13ce7@huaweicloud.com/\n[jarkko: tweaked the commit message a bit to have an appropriate closes\ntag.]"], "name": "CVE-2024-50301", "package_state": [{"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:6", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:7", "fix_state": "Out of support scope", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Will not fix", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:8", "fix_state": "Will not fix", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Affected", "package_name": "kernel", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}, {"cpe": "cpe:/o:redhat:enterprise_linux:9", "fix_state": "Affected", "package_name": "kernel-rt", "product_name": "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9"}], "public_date": "2024-11-19T00:00:00Z", "references": ["https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2024-50301\nhttps://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-50301\nhttps://lore.kernel.org/linux-cve-announce/2024111907-CVE-2024-50301-ec76@gregkh/T"], "threat_severity": "Moderate"}
