A crafted stride that places the u32 offset near 2^32 makes offset+sizeof wrap to a small value and pass the bounds check deterministically, with no race or attacker-uncontrollable timing.\nPR:L - The parser applies no capability check to firmware contents. On Mali CSF Android phones, Chromebooks, and embedded boards, mali_csffw.bin commonly lives on vendor/firmware partitions writable by local non-root system or vendor service accounts, which is sufficient to plant the crafted blob before driver probe.\nUI:N - Once the crafted firmware is in place, panthor_fw_init_ifaces() runs automatically at driver probe and caches the resulting interface pointers; no separate victim action such as opening a file, mounting a filesystem, or using /dev/dri is required to trigger the overflow.\nS:U - The bug corrupts kernel memory past the firmware shared-section vmap and can enable local privilege escalation within the host kernel; it does not cross a VM, IOMMU, or sandbox boundary such as a KVM guest-to-host escape.\nC:H - A wrapped u32 iface_offset near 2^32 yields kmap plus a ~4GiB out-of-bounds control pointer; the kernel then reads panthor_fw_*_control_iface fields (input_va, output_va, stream_num, stream_stride, features) from that address, disclosing kernel memory rather than a few bounded bytes.\nI:H - Those OOB control pointers are cached for the device lifetime and consumed by scheduler, job-IRQ, and GROUP_CREATE paths that write panthor_fw_*_input_iface structures and allocate suspend buffers from control->suspend_size, enabling out-of-bounds kernel writes and control-flow hijacking.\nA:H - Dereferencing kmap plus a wrapped near-4GiB offset can immediately oops or panic if the region is unmapped, and a corrupted firmware interface leaves the Mali GPU unusable; the same path is hit on every probe or firmware boot until the blob is removed."}]}], "affected": [{"product": "Linux", "vendor": "Linux", "defaultStatus": "unaffected", "repo": "https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git", "programFiles": ["drivers/gpu/drm/panthor/panthor_fw.c"], "versions": [{"version": "2718d91816eeed03c09c8abe872e45f59078768c", "lessThan": "33ae55809aee9b4dca1d00cdee35b527f2bf8626", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2718d91816eeed03c09c8abe872e45f59078768c", "lessThan": "80c9528661c774f899281c9a72011208ff39929e", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2718d91816eeed03c09c8abe872e45f59078768c", "lessThan": "3e5c7cddc0073eef6f9bb373189b11a969f1f6f6", "status": "affected", "versionType": "git"}, {"version": "2718d91816eeed03c09c8abe872e45f59078768c", "lessThan": "6a47f9fd2d970674ed9dedc52fc7ab76fd015785", "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/gpu/drm/panthor/panthor_fw.c"], "versions": [{"version": "6.10", "status": "affected"}, {"version": "0", "lessThan": "6.10", "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": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.12.110"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "6.18.51"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.2.5"}, {"vulnerable": true, "criteria": "cpe:2.3:o:linux:linux_kernel:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*", "versionStartIncluding": "6.10", "versionEndExcluding": "7.3-rc1"}]}]}], "references": [{"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/33ae55809aee9b4dca1d00cdee35b527f2bf8626"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/80c9528661c774f899281c9a72011208ff39929e"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/3e5c7cddc0073eef6f9bb373189b11a969f1f6f6"}, {"url": "https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/6a47f9fd2d970674ed9dedc52fc7ab76fd015785"}], "title": "drm/panthor: fix firmware control interface bounds checks", "x_generator": {"engine": "bippy-1.2.0"}}}}
